SoftManager 1.0.2 - Another Super Utility for A1200/E6

Another super utility out of China posted to Motofan.ru by DOMr that provides 5 different functions in 1. Works great on my C2 firmware.

Unfortunately the interface is in Chinese, even though the PKG contains a file called ezx_SoftManage_lang.cfg that contains the menu commands in Chinese and Vietnamese. I converted this file to English, but on the A1200 the menus stayed in Chinese - so not reading this file correctly!

(Perhaps someone else can get this to work properly)

But app is very easy to use. When you run it it displays a list of all apps installed on your phone. You can select these apps via radio buttons to change them (screenshot 1).

There are 5 menu options (screenshot 2) and each option only has a Yes or No confirmation box (in English)

= Install PKG programs* (screenshot 3)
= Rename - renames selected Java or PKG app**
= Delete - deletes selected Java or PKG app from phone
= Change permissions - shows current permssions of selected app which you can change (screenshot 4)
= Refresh Menu
= About (in Chinese)

* To install PKG programs, navigate to where PKG file is and select it and then select Yes to install

** To rename programs, change name on second line to new name and then press "Yes"

Install instructions:
1. Download and remove .zip so called SoftManage.pkg
2. Install like any other PKG file (I installed via SmartAsst)

it seems nice.. it would be better if someone could translate it.
if it works with e6 i may get rid of the SmartAsst

sorry, but can somebody please explain why should we use it?

I admit that it does not provide anything really new, however the main reason I posted it is that it gives people one more method to try for installing PKG files - as Superman and SmartAsst do not work on a lot of firmwares - and this one might....

I will probably use it for the:
- Rename function - it is easier to use than the stand-alone Rename application which I have now uninstalled.
- PKG Delete function - faster than using the Delete function with SmartAsst.

do the pkg files installed using this require a restart too?

I have no chance to open the zip file, I tried to download it several times.
May I delete with this programs applications that came with the firmware? I guess that I have an internal memory problem and want to get off some programms that I won't use.
Thank you
