Nice little plugin. SmartToolKit Alpha 4 adds a bit of your windows desktop functions to your smartphone. It's easy to install and use though I haven't quite figured out how to use all the stated functions like the temperature. If you are looking to add a bit of spice to your smartphone, give it a try and let us know what you think.

Basically you download and upzip it on your desktop. You can then drag the SmartToolKiticon to your device via AS. Once it's on your device, you need to click on it to install it. Then press your home key to activate it and you can play with the different settings and such.

Yeah, figured it out.
This is going to be for smartphones what Pocket Plus is for Pocket PC's.
Great stuff.

First. Great piece of software!

Second. To get the registry file to work you have to put it like this and save it as a .reg file and run it on your phone:


Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\e-Natives]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\e-Natives\SmartToolkit]
"_CFG_RSTARTMENU"=dword:00000000
"_CFG_AUTOKEYLOCK_DWCHARGE"=dword:00000001
"_CFG_AUTOKEYLOCK"=dword:0000001e
"_CFG_POWERSAVE"=dword:00000000
"Version Build"="ALPHA 4 (20070521)"
"Version"="0.0.1"
"_CFG_FONTSIZE"=dword:00000000
"_CFG_KEYBIND"=dword:00000000
"_CFG_TEMPERATURE"=dword:00000001
"_CFG_FADE_ANIMATION"=dword:00000001
"_CFG_DESKBIND"=dword:00000000

Default problems with Moto Q after install?

Ok, so I downloaded and installed smarttoolkit.

My problem occured when I first ran the software, my Q just hung there and nothing I could do would work, so I removed the battery and it restarted, but now all I get is a white screen and the "unlock" button is there but nothing reponds. I copied the software onto my storage card and that is where I installed it from.

If I take my storage card out, I can get the phone to work, only problem is all my email/programs etc. run off of my storage card.

Any suggestions?

delete the file from the storage card with a cardreader. then reboot the device with the storagecard again.

Done - that no dice -- I went ahead and did a Master Reset and I am now in the process of re-installing everything, what a pain in the a@!

Well, I decided to uninstall SmartToolKit and now when I press my start button on my Dash, I get this: "Can't find SmartToolKit or one of its components. Make sure the path and filename are correct an that all the required libraries are available." Not sure how to unstall this program. :evil:
