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. Instead of the ugly default fatal exception dialog, Crash Pro will display a customizable image and perform an automatic soft reset after a couple of seconds.
This automation will result in less stress when your PalmOS PDA crashes. And if your PDA crashed in the middle of the night the automatic reset prevents its batteries to drain, as it will not stay on all night, until you eventually press the Reset button in the morning.
Customize ...
The image that is displayed can be exchanged. A number of image files are available as a free download and can be used by simply installing them to your device. If you like, you can even set Crash Pro to display a random image from the collection. And finally you can use the Crash Imager application (part of the download) to create your own images.
Together with the image you can also change the time until the automatic reset. Default is 10 seconds.
Log it ...
To help you track down buggy applications or to assist you in beta-testing software, Crash Pro allows you to keep a log of all soft resets and crashes, including the name of the application, the exact error message and the date and time.
This log can be amended by personal notes and there is of course the possibility to export any logged entry (or the whole log) to the Memo application so you can send the information to the application's developer(s).
Development of this application has been discontinued. A free registration code can be obtained here.

USB Sync Fixer USB Sync Fixer - Some Palm M500's and M505's have sporadically quit Hotsyncing. One way to solve this issue is to drain the battery on the Palm until it is absolutely dead. Then charge the Palm back up and it will Hotsync again.
While this does not work on every Palm, we've found it works on about 8 or 9 out of every 10 Palms

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
HackFinder 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
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
