Save SMS Content to a Text File

This is an update. I used an I-mate SP3 and xBar3.
Download Wordpad and this XMC file.
Install the Wordpad app and copy the xmc file into your Storage Card.
Make a link for the xmc file and save it in your storage\program files\xbar2\keys\ folder and rename it to whichever hotkey you want it to ba launched from.
Create a "notes" folder in your \Storage card\My Documents\. This is where all your text files will be stored.
To use, while you are in the READ sms window, launch the xBar and click the appointed hotkey. Wait for the xmc to be executed and all you have to do is input a file name and save it.

How to dismantle SP3/C500

This is my version:

1. you will need T6 screwdriver, 2 philips screw drivers, and a thin plastic card.

2. remove the back cover, battery, simcard, mini sd card, and the rubber just above the camera from your phone.

3. insert a screwdriver inside the right rectangular hole just above the terminals for the battery and push, while simultaneously pulling the top cover. You will feel the top cover pop up a little. Do this again on the left rectangular hole.

4. Remove the flower (Torx) screws using your T6 screwdriver. There are 6 screws.

5. Use the thin plastic card and slide it in between the front and back cover. Slide it downwards to the bottom part of the phone. Use a second plastic card on the other side of the phone and do the same thing. Use a third plastic card to open the top part of the phone.

6. Use the Phlips screwdriver to remove 1 screw in the middle.

7. Gently open and separate the board from the front cover. Remember that there is a wire connection between the two on the left side (phone facing you).


Thanks to Digimission for their instructions.

CronEdit v1.1

CronEdit is used to edit the somewhat cryptic crontab.txt file that is used
by xBar. This allows you to set up recurring tasks. The most popular use for this
is for an alarm clock, but let your imagination run wild.

Change xbar launch key

This is how to change the assigned launch key of xbar:
1. Open the xbar_cfg.ini file located inside your xbar folder with wordpad
2. Locate the KEY_XBAR=13; // =121 for Key 'Record' line
3. Change the value 13 (action key) to 121 (record button) or to whatever key you want to use
Key code list (from MSDN)

KeyCode	Keypad Key
13	Action
37	Left
38	Up

129	Power
117	Vol Up
