i just got a xda couple months ago and i was wondering if any one had good sites for free software :?:
thanks in advance
xda*
sure...
www.ppc4you.com
www.ppc4all.com
www.jumbo.com
www.download.com
basicaly, just search the web for ppc/ipaq/pocketpc/pocket pc software
and... for anythin else, get them the same way you get ur mp3s
allthough i hightly suggest supporting the programers, to motivate them into making more and better softs
Also keep your eyes in www.pocketpcpassion.com, both the web site and the discussion forums, they have heaps of links etc.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any other great sites or forums that are Magician specific (or good PPC sites for that matter) that I can check out.
Thanks in advance.
Todd
There was the other Magician site, compactjam.co. But noone seems to have used it recently. This is the best there is. Of course there are lots of pocketpc sites.
Try www.buzzdev.net - it's run by one of the moderators of this site.
A handy site for programs is

Just change the "sort by" to what you'r after. I use "price low to high" if I'm looking for free software :lol:

2 more forums....
http://www,imate-user.com
I'm a mod at this one, very handy for user-end problems rather than the real advanced stuff. That's what this site's for!
http://www.mtekk.com.au
Australian Pocket PC site. There's a dedicated Windows Smart phone section that has many Jam and Mini users there. Similar sort of content to the one mentioned above.
Between those 2 and this site, I know everything I could possibly need to know about my phone!
Thanks everyone for your replys, I will check them out.
Hey I'm new to this forum (as shown in my post count).
What programs do you use on your Hermes?
Small problems I would like to fix are:
-A little speed boost. I feel like it lags behind sometimes
-Programmable sms tones. I dont just want to use those 1-2 second long sounds.
-A good free multi-chat program. For example, AIM, ICQ, GoogleTalk, Msn, Yahoo... all at the same time. Personally I found AgileMessenger to be quite nice, but it costs 45 bucks to buy... i may resort to that though.
Actually onw last thing i would like and wondering if it is even possible, probably only by some awesome hacker. I want a program that gives me the passkeys of locked wifi networks, are there any of those available?
I have more questions about t-mobile but ill start a different thread.
This site is a support forum for xda enthusiasts. using this site, you will find lots of tweaks for your phone, OS upgrades, fixes, etc. but we do not condon anything illegal here. That means even if some hacker finds a way how to do something that is illegal, the moderators will immediately delete it. That also applys for cracked programs, etc. Im not accusing you of anything, but since you are new here I just wanted to give you a quik breifing on what we are and are not about.
Also, before you post any questions, or screw up your phone, make sure you do lots of reading and searching (search bar at top right), there is also a google search tool for this site in the other section.
Welcome and good luck

ok then ty for letting me know. Seeing as how many programmers are on this site I though that non-legit might be fine here.
Thank you for the warning, Im not a computer noob, but new to the wm phone world. I'd be sure on reading up before installing anything.
Well then the same questions are still up... I never said I wouldnt pay for these programs but if the freeware is just as good, why not?
Please do not start new threads to request repeated information.
Thread closed.
Hello friends,
Im a new PPC user. I have a T-mobile Wizard. There are a lot of freeware available for the Wizard. Since there are too many pages to read and a lot of freeware to compare, I need some help from Wizard users who had their Wizard for a while now. There are only a couple of things I need from the Wizard.... Outlook Email, Internet, and a good Iphone Theme. Does it makes sense to upgrade to the WM6? What are the benefits of WM6? Other than that I just need my Wizard to be really quick.
Thank you friends in advance and I really hope you can help a new windows mobile user.

Well, you will need to spend some time reading if you want to glean anything from this site.
Anyhow, I would recommend upgrading to WM6. A few reasons being is it has HTML capable Outlook (since you mentioned you'd be using that). It's also less buggy, faster and just more stable than WM5 too.
So, you can leave it as-is, and have a perfectly usable device. Or plan on spending a lot of time reading, reading, and reading some more to upgrade and customize. I'd say it's quite worth it though.
Start in the WIKI. It has links to everything that will get your phone unlocked and upgraded.
Just please keep in mind that this site appreciates those that help themselves first. If you do get stuck on something and can't find the answer, don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck!
Maybe more time reading and less time on the '!' key would help.
I'm going to disagree with TaurusBullba on WM6 stability and speed. I tried a number of WM6 ROMs on my G4 Wizard and found them to have a more issues than my original O2 ROM. That's not to say the O2 ROM didn't have issues, but I found most WM6 ROMs to have more / more serious issues. My advice would be to look at a thread for a ROM you might like to install. You will almost certainly find users stating any issues they're having.
Furthermore, on the ROM front, it requires a lot more reading and a lot less '!' , so I would sit back and be content with WM5 for the moment whilst reading the forum.
You will find the most comprehensive iPhone threads in the General board of this forum, although I believe there is a thread in one of the Wizard boards too.
If you don't mind paying, I've found Opera is a good replacement to Pocket IE.

Thank you for the information. Im actually very familiar with opera. I had it installed on my blackberry and is so much faster. I think I'll Stick with WM5 since everywhere I read they mention that it has a lot more bugs I think I'll wait untill I get more familiar with my wizard and also when the fix the bugs on the WM6. Thank you guys for the replys.
Hi everyone
I just purchased this phone or pda off ebay and I am going to be signing up with att. Right now I can use it because I have been given 30 day trial. I love it but I am having trouble with some aspects of it. There is so much to know. One of the problems I have had is sending email through ebay. I bougth this to do business. If i try to answer a question through my ebay messages when I push to send the reply message nothing happens. I also try to access tmobile to make a payment and when i enter password and log on it wont log on, the page just sits there. Are there tweak for this. Also on craiglist I tried to post an ad an when I went to post it I got a message that said unable to process request. Any help or suggestion fo my new phone in reagrd to tweaking it will help. I have also noticed that aol messages loads slowly on egde. Are there any tweaks for this. It can take forever. I know I have a lot to lear and this is my first smatphone and I am excited about it but I am also lost. Thanks in advance for any sugestion or help

first thing to do is to start looking at custom Roms, the operating system of your device, and find one that will do what you are looking for.
then if you decide to upgrade, then read this very closely and follow the instruction to the letter,
http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/forum...-unlocking-cid-unlocking-wm6-your-8525-a.html
I am using this one and it works great, it resolved all my issues.

the search on these two site are great, BTw welcome onboard .
most of the problems that you mentioned could just be a browser problem, lots of pages dont work the same, but the general consensus is that PIE blows, you might want to try a different browser. opera, and opera mini seems to be very popular. I feel obligated to mention menneisyys' guides on browser which you can find in the wiki (otherwise he's gonna butt in and mention it himself in this thread ).
Thank you so much. I believe I have WM6 on my device Im not sure if it came from att or was downloaded. How would I check to see if WM6 is on my phone. If it is do I go to the next step and install Olipro v7 2.10 I guess this replaces PIE if im right. Im learning but slowly. Thank you again this is helping me tremendously

Thank you for the great tips. I am starting to feel better. I had heard about these tweaks but did not know how to go about them. I needed to ask. Do I need to activesync my device to upload these programs. Thank you in advance for the help it truly is greatly appreciated and what is bicking your device mean. you can be sure I wont be doing anything till I understan what im doing fully.

those links are all about flashing roms, and i dont think you want to go that route yet. learn how to use your device first, only then you can start looking at upgrading roms.

I will definitly take your advice on that and stay clar of that.
Another great tool to use to learn, is to click the "New Posts" button at the top, and read posts that related to the (8525) Hermes forums, even if you do not understand just what they are discussing, in time you will pick up a lot of a useful info.
This is what i do several times a week in the evenings.
I am looking for something to automate my email settings after flashing. Sashimi seemed to be the software that would do the trick. Seems like it dropped off the face of the earth. Author is banned here and the winmob experts website that he moved to is gone altogether.
Anyone know if this software is still available or is there something that will do the same thing that is current.
Thanks
Paul
Am also wondering. Have the experts on xda transitioned to something other than Sashimi?
It's your lucky day, a guy just near there have posted a modified version :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9303770#post9303770
Disclaimer : I haven't tested this one, so i can't tell if it's crap or not...
Sashimi still standard??
Is Sashimi still the defacto standard being used ? I know SPBclone is the pro cloning/imaging sw, but i figured developers would constantly be tweaking a similar solution.
FYI some Tutorial Vids that might be of interest to anyone in my point in this learning curve. I found them of interest @ least These will have links to the rest available on Youtube
oops - seems as a new user i cant share the links w/u but search for 'winmoexperts' on youtube and u will see
thnx again all - site has been very educational
very nice, thank you buddy
