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! Grin

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! Grin



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



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. Grin

I downloaded it and it definitely works but how do you add words like the "Android Jellybean" part?

It depends which one you downloaded and used. vPatch only changes the numbers in the OS version.
This one and this one let you change the string. But for the first one you only have the source and for the second one you don't have the source Tongue
If you have what is needed to compile, you can download the first one, modify the string to display what you want, compile it and use it. If you don't, you can download the second one and NotePad edit the string in the tns (but the string must have the same length as "Whatever you want", so you can put for example "Android 4.0 ICS  ") Wink

-.-° Not false Tongue
It is just that I am used to have sources in the zip with the executable and here, the download only consists in the tns.
