I dl the palmOS5 edition of exideas OnScreen Keyboard, http://www.exideas.com/ME/index.html. It runs fine with GVM. And I like that OnScreenkeyboard better then the palm one. It is bigger, easier to poke letters and use 'drag', different drag gives different letters, so with a little bit of memorization, it does make 'poking' letter more efficient.

Their Graffiti version is MessageEaseST1.7 which requires palm extender (Xmaster), and the palmOS5 does NOT support extender. So? Anyway, I am happy with palm's graffiti and my use of the GVM/palm is NOT heavy enough to justify re-learning a new set of graffiti.

Try the exideas keyboard, especially if you are a heavy palm user.
Oh, that is a fully functional shareware with NO expiration day.

And thanks to silvermain for bringing this up, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...290#post194290, thread #52.

I've tried to run plucker on this new version of Garnet VM, but it immediately crashes. Anyone have any luck running plucker? I need it to view some files on the palm. Or is their another plucker viewer?

First post!

Managed to get my lovely new 810 running Diablo and GVM thanks to the good folk here.

Apps I managed to install OK that I don't think have been mentioned so far:
Tatyambar (dice simulator/RNG)
Tide Tool
Tarot To Go

Ones that didn't:
Do-In (Acupuncture points ap)
PalMoon (moon phases)

One that almost worked...
Scrabble. The dictionary file would not load into GVM
(error message "err=0x30060209) Any ideas from those who did manage to load it?
If not I'll try Crosswords!

You can read all of your Plucker files using FBReader.

I have all of my old Plucker books without problems. FBreader even has the added benefit of being able to read .html or text docs without the need for conversion.

Yes, I discovered that FBReader could do this, so it basically eliminates the need for plucker. I don't find the interface for FBReader to be that great, but it does work fine. Thanks.

Remember that gvm can't read your internal SD card. Make sure you have made all 64 meg available to gvm applications -- or wait for version 3.0.

I tried to install Epocrates but had a lot of problems. It has a lot of hidden applications and not having their names it was difficult to figure out which ones needed to have the backup attribute turned off. I've found that unless one turns off the backup attribute syncs will fail. Epocrates requires two syncs and I never got the second sync to work. Then all my applications disappeared. I tried to reinstall the applications (and ignore Epocrates for the moment), but still have some major problems. I can install from the SD card, but the backups from the PC don't seem to work right. The sync says it is restoring and backup up many files, but the files don't show up in the GVM when I run the Filez program. I even installed an application through the sync and the sync says it installed it, but the program is not visible in GVM. Then when I do a sync again, it fails with the connection failure that occurs when the backup attribute is not turned off. But there is no such file visibile in Filez. It is as though it is syncing to a different place than the GVM is accessing. Very confusing. I thought I had things working pretty well with the Garnet VM beta 2 and Diablo, but this doesn't appear to be the case. Is my experience unusual? Is there a good solution to this problem?

My tech know-hows is NOT good enough to explain your problems. I was able to sync via the wifi with no difficulty as long as SD card is NOT involved. My previous subscripton specified I sync'd with desktop and SD storage. Upon installation, it kept on looking for SD storage and crashed. What I did is re-regristered and created a new account that does NOT involve SD storage, it has been since sync over a 100X, via GVM wifi, with no difficulties. Does this help?

I assume you are talking about syncing with Epocrates. I was using my Epocrates account that uses SD storage on my Palm T5. The documentation says that one can change the storage in Epocrates (and on my Palm, it says it is managing it optimally). But the Epocrates sync was complaining about not having SD storage. But the total failure occurred because of the back attribute problem. Do you have to set the backup attributes on all you applications? This is a royal pain and especially for Epocrates.

It appears that the Palm GVM can't restore from the backup folders properly into a fresh instantiation of the GVM. I'm not sure of the resolution of this particular problem (which itself may have nothing to do with Epocrates).

GVMb2 cannot deal with externalSD yet. So an apps that looked for extSD will have problems. No. I do not have to set any backup attributes on epo. It just syncs
