Does anybody know the selection criterias for what progs/apps being shown in FC-mode? The standard SE-progs are there (almost the same as the first progs in FO-mode), labelled 1 to 9 and then 0, but also SMan is there, with no number associated to it. Why isn't other progs, like WorldMate, Switcher etc. given the same 'treatment' by the phone?

@karsteno:

I guess coz SE wanted it done that way. In case you didn't know, the flipclose (FC) mode is only found in SE phones as it is a proprierty extension and not part of the original UIQ. So anything and everything related with FC actually "belongs" to SE. Developers are not told how to write apps in FC mode but a few have tried and successfully written FC mode apps.

When the P900 came out, things changed again and those few external apps written by outside developers for P800 had to be reworked for the P900. Why? Coz SE changed the rules and did not tell us since the official response from SE on FC programming is "It's not possible..."

Like the Application list order in flipopen mode, you can screw it around, but it's not documented.

Hope this explains everything.

Look at my site, we always release SMan source code (always one version behind current release). Since v1.2 is the current version, we have v1.1 source codes available for programmers to look, compile and learn. It's not even open source, just FREEWARE with one little limitation, you cannot port SMan complete or in part to any NOkia or it's compatible platforms....
