Yep, I only took all of the molar masses to 2 decimal places. That's what AP chem and my chem 1 use, so I just went with it.

For the safe ram clear, you need to press alpha, then hold ON and press [ x ]. I don't want to make it something else because it is a ram clear after all, you wouldn't want to hit it by accident. Say you're trying to put it in molar mass mode and you accidently hit the wrong key X.X

(Clarification, I'm not in chem 1. lol)

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

I have noticed some bugs.

Alplha on = screen off if you have opened mirage. thus killing the safe ram clear.
When you have log names on, then turn them off, they are still on.  I did a safe ram clear and it fixed it (I assume a normal one would work too.)

and how was that ninja's???

I know mirage does that, I just figure people can press [ON][CLEAR], [ALPHA], [ON][R] because I do not want to make the safe ram clear just [ON][ x ]. I could see people accidentally deleting something important with that because it's too easy to press.

You know what, I actually have a way to fix the fact that it doesn't disable stuff when you disable it. What I'll do is when you turn something off, I'll disable that hook. So that way if you were turning it off, it's off. But if you were turning it on, it will get enabled on quit.

So it uninstalls the hooks when A) zStart was uninstalled via the app and B) the calc is shutting down?

No, sorry, that was worded terribly.

Current: Hooks are never turned off (with a few exceptions) and ones that are in use are re enabled when the app quits

New: If you change an option, that specific hook is disabled. So that when the app quits, it only re enables it if it should be enabled.

I guess I could have the install zStart option disable all hooks, I don't think that would lead to too many problems.

So, it removes all hooks when the app is run?

No, I'll disable the specific hook you have changed. So instead of just changing the option, you are actually disabling the hook too.

If you don't touch any of the options, it will do exactly what it does now.

You know, if that runs immediately on a RAM clear this reminds me a lot of how a Casio Prizm or TI-Nspire starts. You could potentially even have the calc start exactly like a Prizm if you wanted to, asking the contrast, then a few other settings, etc. :P

Boo! Sort of a necro but I have a possible feature request? Could you possibly add something that would make the os not freeze when something is plugged into the headphone jack? (Is that possible?)

I like that idea.  :)
I think that means that zStart would have to mess with the system interrupts, though. :(

I noticed that too.  What was odd was a mono headphone froze up the calc (except for when an asm program or app was running) but stereo headphones only made it pause for a bit.  Could be completely unrelated, just thought I'd put that out there.

Another request:  might it be possible to custom assign the on+sin/cos/tan key combos with a token in the catalog?
In math we're doing a bunch of stuff with nCr and nPr so that's how it came to mind.

There will never be a necro post in this topic. I've been doing this app for over a year, it's basically just my flash page where I can put hooks, so each update is more or less an individual project. This topic won't die until I do >:D, or maybe when i reach 16kb of code.


I like the idea of not freezing with headphones. However, I don't even have the slightest clue as to why it freezes, let alone stopping it. I do see serious potential there though, so I'll see if I can fix that.

Please, everyone, don't let this topic die.  If I see this topic on the list, I click it before any of the others, it interests me that much.  Due to its ever changing nature, it's really cool, plus it actually does stuff that I previously have only dreampt of.
