Installation with FitalySkinLoad on a Palm TX

What is FitalySkinLoad
FitalySkinLoad is designed to work on the Palm T3, T5, LifeDrive and TX.
Textware Solutions has discontinued further development of FitalyVirtual for new palm devices such as the TX. While the existing T3/T5/ LifeDrive version works on the TX and possibly on later machines, it does not display the Fitaly skin over the keyboard area. This is where FitalySkinLoad comes into play.
FitalySkinLoad is a Skin Loader developed by Alexander Pruss and which can be used to load the Fitaly skin on a Palm T3, T5, LifeDrive, or TX.
Installing FitalySkinLoad
To install FitalySkinLoad, follow the following sequence of steps. While simpler sequences may also work, we prefer to err on the side of safety to avoid having to do a hard reset. In any case, it is a good idea to do a full backup before you start.
- Delete StatusBarResources.prc from the Backup folder. This step is crucial if you are installing from a Palm DeskTop that has already been used for other Palm devices. (In this respect, the Palm T3 is especially dangerous for coexistence with later devices.)
- Download FitalySkinLoad for TX 1.1 from Softpedia
Install FitalySkinLoad on your Palm Device:
- Install the Fitaly Skin by pressing the "Set Fitaly Skin" button.
- Download FitalyVirtual T3. For an installation on a TX, when asked to choose between T3, T5, or LifeDrive, select either T5 or LifeDrive — it does not really matter — but Not T3.
- On the Application Panel, go to FitalyVirtual and tap on Enable FitalyVirtual. Then moving to FVSetup, you can set options as you like. However, Do not ever try to tap on the button of SkinSetup. Doing so is likely to conflict with the skin handling done by FitalySkinLoad and may crash your device.
Note 1
If you use the same Palm Desktop for a Pam T3 and a TX, make sure you delete again StatusBarResources.prc from the Backup folder before each synchronization with the TX. If you forget, this may be synchronized and this is likely to cause a crash on your TX.
Note 2
If FitalyVirtual does not react, it may be that it behaves as if registration has expired (no nagging). Then reenter your registration code, or uninstall and reinstall FVsetup and FitalyVirtual.
