EzRocker 1.3

a virtual mouse pointer for your PalmOS device



Description:

EzRocker allows you to use the 5-Way Navigator as a virtual mouse handler. You can move a virtual pointer in all directions and do action (i.e. as stylus tap) by using the center button.
It's very useful in applications that don't handle 5-way navigation and it's even faster and more accurate than the standard "control to control" 5-way navigation.

Compatible devices:

EzRocker has been successfully tested with the following devices:
  • Treo 600
  • Treo 650
  • Treo 700p
  • Tungsten T
  • Tungsten T2
  • Tungsten T3
  • Tungsten T5
  • Tungsten TE
  • Tungsten TE2
  • Zire 71
  • Zire 72

Installation:

First download EzRocker.zip
Decompress it and install EzRocker.prc on your device.

How it works:

Once installed, launch EzRocker and tap the 'Enable' button. Press and hold the 5-way navigator center button until the screen flashes. EzRocker is activated. Then, move the virtual pointer by using 5-way nav direction buttons and do action (i.e. stylus tap) by using the 5-way nav center button.
