IIRC Omnicalc has major issues with 2.53MP (did BrandonW make a patch for this, I forget)
DrDnar
Omnicalc's restore mem feature is pretty nice (although i think it doesn't work in 2.53 either) :P
It doesn't work on 84+ calcs that got missing extra RAM pages either, I think. It will not work on the regular 83+ at all either.

Also I remember once that CtlgHelp got disabled for some reasons after I installed Omnicalc, I think, or maybe it was MirageOs.

Also for non-english users, language apps may conflict with other hook-based apps such as Omnicalc.

Mkay, I decided that I wanted to upgrade the functionality of my calc, so I added a bunch of apps.
Because some of these apps mess with the calculator, I want to make sure that I'm not accidentally about to kill my calc or conflict with each other.
I have a TI-84+SE with OS 2.53
and the apps I'm worried about are

Calcsys
CtlgHelp
DoorsCS7 (the latest one)
Graph3
Krolypto
MirageOS
Omnicalc
Symbolic
Unit Ops
zStart

Erm... these aren't going to kill my calc, are they, or ruin compatibility?  That would suck pretty badly.

That being said, any other interesting apps/programs I should have on my calc?

Great, are you at school? Do you have maths, I mean?

Yep.  I've been looking for something like a CAS or symbolic manipulation, or whatever it's called, and Symbolic/Unit Ops seems to be the closest I can get to.

Question: is there anything that can simulate the quick apps feature on Omnicalc, but isn't Omnicalc?

Edit: I think I remember somebody saying that running zStart will invalidate my OS, so I have to disable it before trying to transfer my OS to other calcs.  Do any other apps/programs do this?

My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Alberthrock is working on a CAS system for TI-8x, but it said 1% done the last time I checked hahaha

There was one called AutoCalc I think...


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Krolypto might, but I don't believe that any of the others do. :)

Cabamap is a big-integer calculator, not a CAS ;)
The other programs that will invalidate your OS are patches, like the one to remove PTT, for example.

yeah, but according to DetachedS, it's a "CAS-Like thing"  ;)

Where does it say that?
Quote
Cabamap is all about huge numbers, integers to be precise. This flash app provides an environment in which math operations can be performed on arbitrary-length integers. All of the basic math functions plus some additional ones are included, and the only limit is the amount of available RAM (approximately 24000 digits). Cabamap can also perform a prime number test on most numbers, and the entire app uses Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) as its interface. The source code is included and released under the GPL license.

Cabamap is a flash application for the 83+/SE that performs arbitrary-precision integer calculations. Simply stated, it can do things like calculate the exact value of 2000! or 2^1024. It uses RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) as the user interface, and is intended as a complete system for long integer calculations. The only limit is available memory (roughly 24000 digits).
I don't see "CAS" at all ??? (The first quote is from http://detachedsolutions.com/features/, the second from http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/323/32326.html)

That Omnicalc RAM restore, does it just stick a backup in archive? That seems like it would work well enough, but I really don't see the point. The OS can do that by itself with the group function.

There was something similar for the 86 (much more useful, since the 86 had no Flash ROM) and it used the extra RAM that pterodactyl gives to the OS. Phoenix also used it to save XD If you'd played phoenix since enabling the program, your stuff was corrupted, and a restore would cause your calc to crash again. :P

Omnicalc RAM Restore backs up the RAM pages the OS uses to pages it does not use. It does not touch flash ;)
Sadly, this means the calcs with only 48KiB RAM can't use RAM Restore :(

AutoCalc combined with prettyprint, Symbolic and MathPrint should make a CAS. I don't know if AutoCalc is in english, though. Also it can be slow sometimes, because it's written in TI-BASIC.
