The people who already have bought my rom but haven't received the gdrive invite, please contact me by mail.

S100 to S150 Conversion

I decided to start selling the software and instructions needed to convert S100 units to S150 but I also want to advise everybody who's willing to do it about some important things:

- once your s100 is converted to S150 you cannot switch back to wince

- android needs more power to run and heat more the cpu, causing sometimes hw failures

- android boot time is 30+ seconds

- in android you have a lot of apps and customizations but wince is more stable and faster

December S100 Skinpack: Opera10 and other fixes... (Fixed 05.12.2015)

This will be the last Skinpack for this year (I guess) and because I started working again on android you won't find many graphical changes but mostly important fixes.
Here is the changelog of this release:

- OperaMini/Opera10 switching fixed definetively
- GPRS Autodial updated from 1.3.5 to 1.4.3
- Fixed a very bad bug in the autoupdate function of SkinManager
- Skinned Manual page in all skins

- Added some more Resources to Skin6 Themer

As there was a bad bug in the autoupdate feature of skinmanager, I recommend to disable the autoupdate function in the settings and update to this version starting Skinmanager from Navi button and NOT from the tools menu.

All the people who already bought my skinpacks can get their update in the Gdrive folder, please always delete the old Skinmanager from SDcard/USB and extract the new one in it.

A big tnx to my friends EAC, Alex and everybody who's helping me developing all this:)

SKINPACK COMPOSITIONS AND PRICES

To satisfy more user requests and to have a more uniform portfolio I decided to change also the Skinpacks compostition, so now the people can buy also a "mini" skinpack made of a just a couple of skins (Skin2 and another skin choosable betwen Skin3, Skin4 and Skin6) or a mix of skins of his choice according to the folliwing prices:

Skin2 will be always included in every skinpack and will be considered as a free gift.

Skin3, Skin4 and Skin6 costs 10 euro each.
Skin5 (Carplay) cost 20 euro.

2 Skins in a choice of Skin3,4,6 cost 20 euro
Skin5 + 1 skin in a choice of 3,4 or 6 cost 25 euro

2 Skins (choice of 3,4,6) + Skin5 cost 30 euro (like the old fullpack)

The Full 6 Skinpack cost 40 euro.

In this way I cover all the possible combination, giving a wide variety of prices and discounts on bigger packages.

To buy a skinpack select the version you like in the list below and hit the BuyNow button.

After payment I will send you an invitation to the GoogleDrive folder that contain the skinpack you have choosen and i will request you your unit model number as described before.

Once I'll have the model number you'll receive the activator file to be pasted in the skinmanager folder.

So this time the procedure is not automatic, you will not be redirected to my dropbox links, you will have to wait for my replies. Please don't hammer me if I'll be late sometimes, I'm human, i sleep at night and i have a real job. I hope you understand that.

Regards, KoTiX.
