Why are so many people not in favor of OS 2.41?

Because no one likes the "features" added in 2.40, which are still contained in 2.41.

I Found the way to disable the "Push-to-Test" where the teachers Disable your calc. WE can disable it now.

If you want to download the program click on the url above. (It goes to detached solutions). The feature is added into a modified Omnicalc. Download it. Then go to the custom menu and click "Disable Push-to-Test"

I can't program assembly so I had RobbieMc program it for me. HE GETS THE CREDIT FOR MODIFING THE OMNICALC.

TO disable it it changes, when you hit [2nd][on], instead of turnnig of the calc it APDs. So that is how it is disabled.

IF the link above doesn't work...this is where you download that modified version of Omnicalc:
www.detachedsolutions.com/forum
Then go to "General in the Develpers section". Then go to Os2.41 pg1 and scroll to the bottom

yea, it cracked the lock...
good job detachedsolutions
above url is linked to a mirror of omnicalc on ticalc

but it will still delete groups...right?

that's what I'm waiting for...maybe I will just download it and re-update it if it screws up.

btw, if anyone needs the older OS -- 2.30, I can E-mail it to you. I keep an archive of all the older OS's that work good so if I want them, I can load them.

I'd love to download OS 2.30. I Just need your e-mail. I'd search for your profile but I dont know which one is you

He's not listed in the accounts directory like me! What is up with this?

Ticalc should add older Operating Systems to its archive. Then we all wouldn't have to worry about updating our calculators

I agree. We should have a section with archived OS's for the calcs so that when this happens, we can just re-download them.

That's why I like this one website -- www.bay-wolf.com -- I can get older BIOS versions for my laptop if I have a problem. Now I archive them too though.

well, I went all out, took a risk, and here's the result...

after backing up data, updating the OS, activating the lockout, and removing the lockout...THE GROUPS STILL ERASED...then I downgraded the OS to 2.30 and restored the data

I think there is a link there? maybe not? I'll have to look into this...

good luck.

oh, and make sure you put something about TI or Calcs in the subj or I'll delete it as spam...I get hundreds of spam a day with yahoo.

UPDATE: try this link first: http://cyberspace.org/~millerm

in omnicals you can just push [on][sto] and it goes into a lock down like in mirage and even when all AAA batteries are pulled it still prompts a password to turn on ;)

sorry the lock down is in krolypto not omnicalc :( but i have both so its all good :)

What do you guys think of this "clever" piece of software would a teacher notice it?

How can I send my OS 2.30 to my computer? Also how many teachers have actually asked to lock down your calcs without you telling them about it?

I have never even heard of a teacher locking everyones calcs

Usually my teacher only requires us to clear the RAM. That's why I always archive or put everything into groups before a test

our school doesn't care. if it's important (like standardized testing) they make us use school calcs so everyone has the exact same model with the exact same OS (2.30) and only the NavNet app and associated parts

btw, they are afraid to update from 2.30 on the school calcs...they don't want to mess up the navigators they just got.

I don't really care, if I need a program on a test, I write it and edit it as needed -- usually no more than 6-8 lines of code.

You're lucky. Our school makes us use one of those four function solar powered calcs.

Someone answer first question please. Also why don't I show up in the accounts directory? I have an author profile but no account for some reason.

answer 1: you can't. you have to download it. or I can e-mail it to you. I keep an archive of what OS's I've used.

answer 2: dunno, apparently I'm not either

btw, make sure you put something about TI or Calcs in the subj or I'll probably delete it as spam

stupid yahoo...don't think the spam filter works...

Ok thanks. I'd like to keep an archive of my OS too. The TI-Connect install CD only came with OS 2.20, so I need a 2.30 just in case.

just send me an email and I can give it to you.
