I like the idea of the program, but...

I have downloaded the program and does not start under WinXP ("not a valid Win32 program'); same thing happens when I put it on my Hermes ("not a valid PPC program").

Too bad, I wanted to try it. Cheers!

Have you downloaded properly iGate_WM6_v1.0_setup.exe ???

Of course it was, and it had a 1005 kb size. Tried with both, Opera and IE. Will try the direct link.

Downloaded the exe file, ran it from my computer while my Hermes was connected and all went well. Great looking screen. I would like it for my Home screen.

Looks interesting...

Can you give a bit more detail about the security implementation side of this? Is it a direct replacement for the default password LAP? (does the installer overwrite lap_pw.dll?). Does it support master key protection?

Thanks

I am not chasing the gift, abienguyen. I just wanted to see what this program can offer. So far so good, no problems seen. :)

Is there any way to customize the clock, skins, icons that are shown, the way the date and time are displayed, or other?

hi people
just found something i consider a bug

when setting up your password you are able create numeric password and later when you lock the device you can type it by using onscreen digits,right

but,you are also able to use "y","u","i","h","j","k","n","m","." :confused: and when you lock the device you can't type these letters by onscreen digits

so if time runs out and the device locks you won't be able to unlock it,just say goodbye and HR it

fortunately i didn't lock my device:D,i figured it out before i could even do it;)

This also happens in system lock. I experienced same situation using characters instead of numeric for my password. Hard reset needed afterward.

As i know you cannot type Alphabet characters in our settings, can you please tell us how you can enter Alphabet characters?????

We do not think that iGate will cause the Hard-reset the device.

Thanks for your time.

We will give you all instructions to create your own skin when the official version is available,

well igate won't HR,you will,because if device is totaly locked,it's unuseable

tried it on CRC's V11 rom,and when i got keyboard to type the pass,i tried tapping the letters too (as you needed a tester;)) and i managed to type those letters from above, not all others...you know the rest of the story

now i tried it on CRC's V12 and i still can type same letters

furthermore i tried every other symbol and there were no problems (i couldn't type them,so it's as it should be)

i'm about to flash PDAcorner ROM V12 and then try it out,i'll keep you informed

PS i forgot to mention "b" in that list

many thanks for your time to help us.

Have you disabled system password before installing iGate? and have you use iGate setting to change the password??

We still cannot imagine how you can active the Alphabet keyboard.

Anyway we will try to findout what is the problem with your case.

Sorry if I am wrong abienguyen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1062270), but this looks to me like free advertising for a commercial product.
You're passive to a ban from me. If you don't want this to happen, you could post your beta request in the General Discussion forum and not cross post throughout the whole xda-developers forum like you did..

I'll close all your threads for further discussions.
