Hi, MotionApps (it's me again) 
Where can we find the changelog for 2.0, and maybe, some documentation?
(even a couple of pages, what's available through the help menu is not what I want...)
Thanks,
-JerryG
EDIT: Compiling found changes here:
1) Go to full screen on the Classic menu (swipe down)
2) Start a non-Classic Certified app, and you get a dialog box w/OK button, instead of a nag every time you start the program
3) Link to download free apps
4) Dedicated keyboard to virtual button mapping switch button / moved global find to the menu
5) Keyboard to virtual button mapping via touch & hold on gesture area

It also has an install free apps page. Did you notice that? It take you to Soduku, eReader, etc.
MobiPocket doesn't allow you to use the full screen. I'm going to reinstall eReader since it's certified to see if I get a full screen. If I do, I'm changing my reading source.

Hi. Yes, I noted the free apps in the post above yours (in parens).It also has an install free apps page. Did you notice that? It take you to Soduku, eReader, etc.

I have eReader 3.0.0fp installed, and it does full screen.

I download/updated Classic 2.0 but am I misinterpreting the the "full screen" function? All is does (atleast on my Pre) is slightly moves up to hide the top to the Pre screen the shows the signal & battery icon. Is that all that you're seeing....or is the virtual buttons suppose to collaspe?Hi, MotionApps (it's me again)

No, it doesn't transform into a TX... I download/updated Classic 2.0 but am I misinterpreting the the "full screen" function?

Just covers the top bar, and any notifications in the dashboard. You got it.

We published detailed info on our website at Classic for webOS - Technical Specifications - MotionApps although you were faster regarding the features you discovered and reported back. Thanks! For spoiling the surprises! (joke
)Also, our whole website is updated in accordance with v2.0 release, so we hope it will be a good read.
Regarding full screen – it does not transform into TX, nor can we do that, because we are emulating Centro (including the resolution). Basically, we cannot technically implement this kind of full screen.
And BTW, we love you coming by and posting, we missed you yesterday

If your looking @ free apps it'll give you a full screen. Maybe it has full screen for websites?No, it doesn't transform into a TX...

Am I the only one annoyed by the new screen that tells you you're running an app that's not Classic certified? I've run this app hundreds of times and I already know that it works OK anyway!

I'm only seeing this the first time I run the app (since updating to 2.0). You're seeing it every time?Am I the only one annoyed by the new screen that tells you you're running an app that's not Classic certified? I've run this app hundreds of times and I already know that it works OK anyway!

Thanks much for the URL. I do enjoy a good spoiler every now and then! Hey JerryG!

And yes, you did post yesterday, but you spoiled us, so anything below 5 posts/day does not do it anymore. LOL

LOLGeeky question - IS it possible to cut/copy/paste between Palm apps in Classic, and WebOS apps? I've never been able to do this, but another member here says they can.
Thanks,

Sorry, yes you're right, it only appears once. I guess that's better than the old notification that appeared every time at the bottom of the screen.I'm only seeing this the first time I run the app (since updating to 2.0). You're seeing it every time?

No you're not alone. That screen flat out ****es me off. Am I the only one annoyed by the new screen that tells you you're running an app that's not Classic certified? I've run this app hundreds of times and I already know that it works OK anyway!
It almost feels like a misguided attempt by MotionApps to get users to badger PalmOS application developers to sign up for their certification program. And that's just not cool.Originally Posted by Dr.Grace:

No it's worse. At least the old notification went away after a couple of seconds. This new one flat out stops you in your tracks and forces you to click a button before you use your app. Who designed this monstrosity? The guy who did that stupid "deny or allow" screen for Windows Vista?Sorry, yes you're right, it only appears once.

Please look at posts #10 and #15... you should only see that the first time you run the application.No it's worse. At least the old notification went away after a couple of seconds.

@JerryG: we replied to geeky question within “dedicated” thread at http://forums.precentral.net/showthr...49#post1956949
@DarthRepublican: regarding copy/paste, our response is at this same link http://forums.precentral.net/showthr...49#post1956949
Regarding notifications, do you still see them each time you start (the same) app or only first time you run them? The intended behavior is to see it once only (at first start) and then never see it again for that same app.
If this is not the case, it is possible that the transition to v2.0 has not been finished yet, but as soon as it is completed, you will not experience the “monstrosity”. That is not the kind of user experience we want for our users, and the new notifications were a way to avoid those few seconds on each start-up of the same application.
