Miopocket

What is it?

Miopocket is a pre-assembled collection of software presented through a nice skinnable UI. Here's what it looks like:

Why install it?

Miopocket is a nice starting point as opposed to having to download and install a bunch of applications seperately. You're bound to find some of its applications useful.

Unfortunately not all the software in the collection displays properly on the screen because it was designed for another device, the Mio.

Warning: Erasing all traces of Miopocket is not trivial. Miopocket modifies the registry. Make sure you backup the registry before installing this software.

Installing to run from SD (recommended)

Download the latest version from the gpspassion thread (Now updated to version 3.0!)
Delete the SDFree directory.
Copy the files MioAutoRun.exe, MioAutoRun.mscr and MortScript.exe to the root of your SD card, along with the Media and MioAutoRun folders.
Insert the SD card and with the file explorer, run MioAutoRun.exe. Choose residentflash when prompted (this doesn't mean it'll run from resident flash).
To kill the Curtis menu, edit in SD \MioAutoRun\Scripts\init.mscr, add:
If(ProcExists("shell.exe"))
Kill("shell.exe")
EndIf

How to shut off the unit?

Once Miopocket is installed, you'll notice pressing the power button only puts the unit to sleep.

There is a workaround which consists of invoking Shell.exe. Unfortunately doing the same trick with Poweroff.exe doesnt' work.

Through the "Power Options"

Call("RegistryBackup")

Now at the miopocket desktop, press the close window "X" at the top right of the screen. Choose "Shutdown" (5th option), which brings up the Curtis menu. From there, press the power button and select "Power off".

Through My Apps
Add /ResidentFlash2/YFAP20/Shell.exe to My Apps/Tools and launch it, which brings up the Curtis menu. From there, press the power button and select "Power off".

What works and what doesn't

Note: The application MioAutorun\Programs\MoveWindow.exe can be used for those applications that have parts of their window cut off.
