Default zSuite v2 [DOES NOT WORK W/ ZUNE 3.x!!!]

This is v2 of the 'zSuite' hack created by PityOnU from DarkZune,

It features:

zAlternator
Enable Zune users add their device and sync with WMP 11 and 10, iTunes (still alpha stage), MediaMonkey and many other media programs that function using the Generic WPD protocol. This still requires the Zune Software to be installed on the users computer to activate a sync (and unlock the device). Despite this, it greatly enhances the Zune, by allowing more in depth Meta capabilities and the ability to use Smart Playlists.

zThemer
A simple way to change your Zune Software's background without using patches or editing the software yourself.

zExplorer
Allowing you to use your Zune Device as a portable HD on computers that have the Zune Software and zSuite installed. The hack enables you to toggle whether you want your Zune to display as a portable hard drive in Windows Explorer (my computer etc), as well as letting you choose your AutoPlay support for Zune.

zIconer
A simple way to define an icon file for your Zune when using zExplorer. Custom icons for Zunes will be available via the DarkZune Forum.

Please visit http://forum.darkzune.com/zsuite-dis...ad-thread.html and continue to the zSuite official forum for information, download and discussions

It's basically a continuation of what was begun with zAlternator...

















P.S. - I would be very greatful if a mod or admin would move this to the 'Completed Hacks' forum because that is where it *probably* belongs.

Yeah, theres a chance i'ma use it once I get my zune back from repair.. the thing is none of the features entice me too much.

ZIconer: Completely and utterly pointless.

Zalternator: I'm content with zune software.

ZThemer: I already have the Custom background hack from ZB

ZExplorer: I've got a flash zune 8, and It'l already be filled up with music/video .. I don't need this feature. Don't need a portable hard drive.

Yea, i know, i agree with you, i only used it to change the icon, everything else is uselees to me too, but it might be good for those people who do use those things^
Except i feel this background hack is better(change font color, column add thing)

It wasn't created to be anything groundbraking or new. It was created to be a central source for all known Zune hacks and an easier way to apply them. Does it succeed at that? (I want your honest opinion)

this is not an original hack, it is a conglomerate of already existing hacks, a tool to save time, hence zTools

zAlternator was original.

I left a permanent redirect to here like I have for all other zTools, since pretty much all zTools are close to Hacks
