The above applications are not affiliated with "Clock Selector". They are only presented as examples of how the "Clock Selector" could improve your everyday palm experience.

RenegadesNotable applications not using the standard time selection dialogs - unfortunately, they cannot benefit from "Clock Selector" (...yet?)ApplicationRemarksRemedies?Calendar on most Tungsten models, Treo 650, Lifedrive, etc.Uses its own time selector dialog, which looks like the standard one.
Use  CalendarHacker (included), which patches your Calendar application to make it compatible with Clock Selector.


Notes:

• The current "Clock Selector" does not support events lasting past midnight (i.e. ending the next day). By applying Calendar Hacker patch you lose this possibility (of course you can undo it anytime).
• Although the patch itself does not increase the calendar size, the part of the calendar application must be copied to RAM (because it cannot be modified in ROM), therefore it will decrease the amount of the available memory by 50K
• The hacker application can be deleted after its work is done.Agendus

  FAQQ: My favorite application does not work with "Clock Selector". What can I do?A: The standard time selection dialogs are not very convenient. Some developers avoided using them in favor to their own replacements. Ask the developer to add the option to use the standard system dialog so the application can benefit from "Clock Selector".Q: I am a developer. What should I do to make my application use "Clock Selector"?A: Very little. Just use the standard time selection dialogs, as described in the Palm OS® Reference. The function names are: SelectOneTime and SelectTime. Example code:
  Int16 hour=16, minute=34;if (SelectOneTime(&hour,&minute,"Please select the time")) { // hour and minute now contains the selected time }
