HackFinder - Hacks are little pieces of code that replace or extend functions of the PalmOS.
Usually hacks should be managed by a hackmanager like HackMaster or X-Master, but sometimes they patch the system by themselves, possibly risking conflicts with other hacks/ applications.
For background information on hacks, what they are, how they work and what could happen if you are not careful, be sure to read the article "Everything About Hacks" at www.dseifert.com/hacks.
To help determine whether an application installs a hack, I have written this little application called HackFinder.
It will scan all installed applications for code that installs a hack and will create a report listing these applications along with the PalmOS API call they replace/extend.
Be sure to read the manual to understand how it works and what its report mean.

Similar Software:
ToDoRoll ToDoRoll - Roll over all of today's overdue To Do Items to today's date.
Does not work with Palm OS 5.0 or ARM Processors.
Overcomes a shortcoming of Palm's To Do Application and Outlook (But not Act!).
Has several options.
You can set it to only roll once per day, then pass through to the To Do Application so it can replace the To Do Button
X-Master (Spanish) X-Master (Spanish) - X-Master manages PalmOS system extensions (aka Hacks).
X-Master is a free compatible successor to Edward Keyes' Hackmaster and offers various improvements, both technical and in the user interface
SortingHack SortingHack - This hack addresses a problem with the sorting in the Pilot.
Some characters used in the Nordic languages are not handled properly, i.e., they are not sorted in the proper order in the AddressBook for instance.
This hack fixes this problem for Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish
DevName DevName lets your Palm/Sony device become any other Palm/Sony device!
MapButtons MapButtons - Do you have a Palm OS handheld with a camera or voice recorder that you never use? Do you accidentally bump these buttons while doing other things and get frustrated when a voice memo suddenly starts recording? MapButtons in the answer! This application allows you to change the application that launches when you press these buttons
DW's DAs DW's DAs like other DAs is a little application that you launch while you're in another application. For example, you might be writing something in Memo Pad and have to make a quick calculation -->> no problem, just launch a calculator DA while you're still in Memo Pad (you don't need to exit!)
PowerButton Hack PowerButton Hack - With PowerButton Hack you can have your palm ready upon startup with whatever program you choose!
You can set a specified application to run upon turning on your palm
DTFH - Date Time Format Hack DTFH - Date Time Format Hack - This hack influences the way some system functions format date and time strings. As for now it just encforces leading zeros to be added to dates (month and day mainly) whenever its value would otherwise occupy just one digit (values less than 10). So instead of 96/1/9 you will see 96/01/09 as long as the hack is active
DotNote Hack DotNote Hack - Wish you could touch-type on your Palm, or enter Graffiti more quickly? The onscreen keyboard is simply too little to be effective - there is no way to fit 26 letters and related buttons onto the small screen
Other Software by developer «79bmedia»:
Crash Pro Even PalmOS applications sometimes crash. Most annoyingly the on-screen reset button often does not work, requiring you to take your device out of its case and perform a manual soft reset. For some devices you may even find yourself in a frantic search for a paperclip to be able to actually do the reset.
Recover ...
But here Crash Pro comes to your aid
Crash Crash - You remember these nifty dialogs saying "Fatal Exception" or "DataMgr.c, Line 1234, Null pointer passed" with a nice looking "Reset" button at the bottom?
Especially when testing a lot of hacks and new programs I get these dialogs rather often
ResetEmu ResetEmu - The PalmOS primarily notifies applications of important global events by sending so called launch codes.
The mostcommon launch code is sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch whichtells an application that it should start running.
This isoften the only launch code an application understands - and worse, sometimes the only one it handles properly
