Secret Nspire OS popups!
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:59:51 pm »
Cross-posting from TI-Planet.

Levak has just discovered hidden popups in the TI-Nspire OS. As far as we know, it's not possible to access them officially, but you can with Ndless.
They might be kept in the OS for future updates, or for TI developers use.






So we discover that the Nspire Navigator Cradles (WiFi) can be updated, and that the clock frequency can apparently be stored in the battery...

We could then imagine that TI has special batteries which trigger strange things when put in a TI-Nspire...

Since strings are hard coded in the binary, I won't say they are for upcomming OSes.
By the way, the title of the frequency manager is just the same as another popup that really deals with batteries. I would say they just copy/pasted the code and replaced some stuff to display something else.

And by the way, the "Mise à jour" ("Update" in english) buttons are only there to update popups.
I do not get mad at people, I just want them to learn the way I learnt.

Sounds very nice. So putting in a certain battery might make things go faster?
Also EEPRO isn't linked with EEPROM, right?

Hm, that's very interesting. Maybe the remains from an intensive debug session at TI?

Right, no relation. EEPROM means electrically-erasable programmable read-only memory; it's like Flash except that individual bytes can be erased instead of having to erase entire large blocks.

By keeping it up I found some way to invoke Numeric Input popup and handle them as Input dialogs for Ndless.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...
