Ok I downloaded it and so far so good its a bit tricky to configure it to how you want it but it's completely adjustable to how you want it display wise
all I have to do is figure out how to add my apps and the weather and I think it'll be great !!!

Adding or editing a shortcut is very easy. This is how you add a simple shortcut:

1- Conv.Key>Menu/BB Key>"Add new Shortcut"
2- Either click on "Select Shortcut Type" button (for most used shortcuts) or click when "AppName" is highlighted and select an application from the drop down menu.
3- Choose one or more shortcut characters and press ESC to save.

Ok so I've figured out all the shortcuts to apps on the phone now I need to figure out weather

One thing I have noticed is that since installing the app I seem to be getting random crashes this could be the app or it could be my os I'm on version 4.5.0.162

When the crashes happen, when you are using ShortcutMe?
ShortcutMe does not run in the background so you should not get any crash because of it being installed on your BB.

How much flash memory do you have left?

I just saw on this thread:

http://forums.crackberry.com/f79/new...-162-a-264086/

that other people like you have also had many crashes with the new OS for Pearl and they don't have installed ShortcutMe! Looks like a OS problem than ShortcutMe.
No one has so far reported us any BB crashes because of ShortcutMe.

[ianst28]

Yeah that's what I was thinking I don't think its the software I think its the os I was just suprised because it only started after I installed the app

I might downgrade the os tonight and see if that fixes it

I haven't received any info form any one saying that ShortcutMe having this kind of problems on any BB OS, but based on the feedbacks from other testers of that OS in that thread, BB crashes regardless of what apps you have installed on it.

[cherryjuice]

I'm interested in checking this out..

it seems to have been the o/s as we both suspected i downgraded to 4.5.0.124 and all is good again

just a quick random question and yes i really am that clueless how do you get the weather to work i've tried but it makes no sense to me ......

i guess i'm one of those people who needs simple instructions and large pictures lol

loving device info and memory cleaner though

Good to know that we were right.

For the weather just go to (on your PC):

http://weather.yahoo.com/

Find your city/location by clicking through country, state and city links. When you see the weather for the city you are interested in, check the link in the address field of the browser. The 8 digit code is the code you need to enter in ShortcutMe.

For example for United-States, Colorado, Agate you get a page with the following in the address bar of the browser:

http://weather.yahoo.com/Agate-Colorado-United-States/USCO0001/forecast.html

The code is then USCO0001.

You can have up to 4 codes (separated by ; ) for each of your shortcuts in ShortcutMe

ShortcutMe 3.6.4.0 is now released.
