No.  Hacks worked by patching into Palm OS and replacing standard Palm
OS routines with their own.  OS5 removed the facility that allowed
hacks to run, so almost *no* hacks will work.  It substitutes
"notification" apps, which can respond to messages sent by the OS5
notfication  manager.

Tealpoint Software has a utility that allows some hacks to run on OS5
by converting the system calls the hack tries to make to OS5
"notifications", but many hacks do things for which corresponding
notifications don't exist.  Tealpoint has a table on their site of
hacks that can run under their utility, but LapTopHack isn't one of
them.

A Russian programmer named Igor Nesterov discovered it was possible to
write OS5 hacks in native ARM code, and run them via an undocumented
interface, and there's an OS5 version of his Yet Another Hack Manager
program, with a few hacks available. See http://yahm.palmoid.com
I use an OS5 version of Fonthack under YAHM, but there's not a lot out there.

You probably want to look ar pToolset instead.
