Lightbulb FIX: Samsung BlackJack, BlackJack II and ACE Leap-Year Calendar patch available

Guys, you are not alone! This leap-year bug affacts also the BlackJack and the ACE. So far so bad. The good? A patch for the Samsung BlackJack, BlackJack II and ACE is now available!

FIX: Samsung BlackJack, BlackJack II and ACE Leap-Year Calendar patch available

Please note that this is a Home screen issue only and it neither affects the devices real time clock nor any other calendar functions, including Outlook Mobile, but it's a cosmetic issue of the Home screen plugin which makes it, nevertheless, useless for the rest of the year.

Anyway, I've got my hands on a couple of patches, just small CAB files for your device, which corrects the issue described above. So if you are either using a Windows Mobile 6 upgraded BlackJack/SGH-i607 (the patch isn't working with Windows Mobile 5.0) or a new BlackJack II/SGH-i617 or a recently released ACE/SPH-i325 Windows Mobile Standard smartphone, you might want to install the patch to get the Home screen issue fixed.
Please note that only North American smartphones are affected! Neither the Samsung SGH-i320 nor the SGH-i600 needs this patch - so please don't install it on any other devices than the one mentioned above!


Enjoy!

It's not finished yet. Planning to add a schedule and task page using Facade, one page using the Facade Launcher and one page using phoneAlarm with message indicator, profile and such things.

I don't have a device currently (had to send my Vox in for repair), but I'll finish it as soon as I have a device again (probably getting a Palm Treo 500).
