I'm going to news on Omnimaga soon.

I liked this when I saw this on TI-Planet earlier. Hopefully we can remove other stuff too without harming our OS install. I sure doubt I would need dutch, german and the like, for example, if that's removable

Your wish is my command.

Release tomorrow - prepare for a big surprise

Nice
Maybe TI forgot to add a link to the remove popup ?

But if they had just "forgotten", they wouldn't have stated in the guidebook that you can't remove the dictionnary...

In a previous news, we learned together how to transform your TI-Nspire CX into a TI-Nspire CX-C and how to install the chinese-english dictionnary OS extension.



Some of you asked us how much space the dictionnary was taking. Let's finally answer that question today.



TI-Nspire OS extensions like the dictionnary are installed in a hidden part of the filesystem, the root folder "/extension":

As you can see, it takes 4.4MB.



Once you've finished playing with the chinese dictionnary, you'll probably ask yourself how to uninstall it and recover those 4.4MB free space.

And now, you just read that in the TI-Nspire CX-C guidebook, page 19:

Note: After the dictionary is installed, it cannot be deleted.

What?... Is it a joke?...
What's the point into handling OS extensions which can never be removed?



Calm down!
What's stated in the guidebook is wrong to begin with:, you can perfectly remove the dictionnary with a whole filesystem reformat through the maintenance menu.
I perfectly know you won't like this solution so let's go on!



Ndless programs have access to the whole filesystem. So, creating a Ndless tool which would cleanup the  "/extension" folder content is perfectly possible.
But guess what? It won't even be necessary!



Digging into the TI-Nspire OS, Levak has found something...
A dictionnary uninstallation program, launched by a specific dialog box!

We don't understand why but it's an orphan dialog box: it's not called from any OS menu or shortcut.
But don't worry, you've now got an Ndless tool, delDico, which will launch this dialog box and let you remove the dictionnary on your TI-Nspire CX or TI-Nspire CX-C.



The only remaining question is now... "WHY ?!!!"

The BIOS screen is usually not shown on the TI-Nspire.

It is shown on the 1st run of your emulator if you launch the BIOS directly and not a ROM.

Yesterday, Tangrs had shown us a strange TI-Nspire capture with a 4.1.1.OS.

This was an example of his new code to temporary patch the TI-Nspire OS version string in RAM.



Levak (again) then worked very hard on a similar but more comprehensive code, even dealing with assembly, which has been integrated today in a new tool for your TI-Nspire: vPatch.

vPatch lets the user choose which OS version to set!

vPatch not only patches the version string shown on the TI-Nspire about screen but also the one reported to TI-Nspire softwares on the computer!



Stored in the Ndless startup folder, vPatch even restores silently the last version it was given at each boot.



If you've decided to stay with OS 3.1, you can now get rid of the TI-Nspire softwares popups which were constantly reminding you to install SO 3.2 since late july each time you connect your TI-Nspire to the computer.

Thanks.

So you can't remove files from this hidden folder without Ndless.

Oh, great new view


When do we get a tns file ?
