The Ultimate set od Programs (I think)

I think I may have settled on the final set of programs I need for the XDA2....
On today screen:
SPB GPRS monitor (nice even if You have unlimited GPRS)
Bluetooth Tools 1.1.0.0
Phone Dashboard (IP dashboard was better but caused the system to hang too much)
Pocket Plus
OmegaOne Journalbar with expansion pack
Other programs:
OmegaOne Calc-1 (great calculator)
ThemeKing
Pocket Controller
Resco Explorer & Registry editor
VO Shopping list
Pocket Informant 5.02 ( still not 100% sure) may try ACT or Fusion
So whats everyone's opinion? Am I missing something? or are there even better programs to be had?

Well great pack but i guess it just depend on oyur main exploitation of a PDA phone
some will prefer communication software for emailing browsing or connecting to their office
some other will use it to enhance navigation with GPS or trafic assistance software
some other my be more oriented in office suite....
or why not games, who knows.
But i m sure your right on one point there are a set of software that are significant for a pda phone
i think of gprs monitor, soft like pocket plus and BT tools of course.
my personnal softwares are
pocket plus
gprs monitor
BT tools
pocketirc
pocket informant with the PIToday plugin
ezwap 2.5 (cause i work in mobile site developements)
Tomtom navigator
and that is nearly all what i need
anyway you make me discover a new calculator i didn t know about thanks
That ll be great to have an exhaustiv list of all softaware and brands cause that 's not that easy to buy the right one, so small but so expensive
and sometimes i discover freeware that are much more powerfull thant sofwares i paid for.
Well that was my long point of view
cheers

Applications that actually work on the o2 xda mini s

Could somone suggest some decent applications that I can actually get to work on this device:
I need: -
Sat nav
like a hiking nav
tv remote (if possible)
and any other decent applications you could suggest.
Thanks in advance,
Ross

I have an XDA MiniS and have loads of 3rd party apps and today plugins working. Any application written for WM05 should work!!!! I do not use sat nav (the car has one already) so cannot advise on that - however I use:
Pocket Breeze
Pocket Weather
Avantgo
Battery Bar Pro
Journal Bar
True Toolbar
WisBar
Convertor CE
Eval - Scentific Calculator (Not specifically for WM05 but works fine)
Stop time - Fancy Stop watch alarms etc (Not specifically for WM05 but works fine)
Empheris - Moon phase calendar etc (Not specifically for WM05 but works fine)
and various other file management and backup tools. :?
In fact the only application that didn't transfer from my old device (Windows 2003) was tAgenda - shame as it was a handy little app. I use Pocket Breeze now for this function.
Search on Hanandgo or Pocketgear sites for applications.
Here are some TV controllers:http://www.handango.com/SoftwareCat...=add&N=4294967089&Ntt=tv+remote&Ntk=All&Nty=1

TomTom Nav 5 does work and very well too. You just have to set up the GPS receiver according to the instructions on this site.
Dave

Sorry, I just realised that you wanted hiking GPS - "Fugawi" should work.
Dave

If you like hiking and walking try memory map...
http://www.memory-map.co.uk/
I found version 5 on edonkey and had have the full ordinance survey maps for kent and the south-east. Very good for walks. You can even use a bluetooth gps and plot the route you walk and upload it back into the PC.
The software fully installs on your PC and has an option under one of the menus to install the pocket pc version. You then send the maps you want to it (again via the software). The London A-Z I have installed is 312mb. Better invest in the 2gb San Disk SD card. (goto froogle, its £55 inc del and VAT)
Resco explorer is another great app and comes with an FTP client, reg editor and allows you to connect to shares on windows PCs/servers.
Thanks

Most applications for free. getjar.com

TomTom Nav 7 works well on XDA Mini S.

Killer Apps, get help making a list?

I just found Microsoft's Windows Live Search app for Mobile 5.0 and was blown away.
http://wls.live.com
It works like Google Maps but it doesn't suck like the Java based Google Maps I found online; it features optional Bluetooth GPS support, street and sat maps, it's free, it shows Traffic, helps locate local items like Resturants and helps with directions.
Is this the killer app? What are your favorites? Maybe we can make a list for other people to find programs they'll love as much as I love this one.
Rob
Summary so far...
Kevin Baker - My killer apps have to be Resco Explorer and Microsoft VoiceCommand.
Brian McGuire - Must install: Newsbreak 1.2
Lucid - Reperion GPS app
Ellistyle - 1-Calc is a great unit/currency converter (oh--and calculater) & Pocket Informant is a must
SINC - INESOFT Address Book, one handed contact lookup
Dandie's list...
PocketBreeze - best today plugin for a good overview of your appointments, notes, tasks, birthdays etc.
SPB PocketPlus - Still the most complete collection of must have extensions for Windows Mobile (TastManager, Today launcher and much more)
GPRS Monitor - A must if you have to count your GPRS/UMTS traffic
PocketZenPhone - The one and only phone profile switcher. Feature monster!
SpaceTime - More than a calculator. This is almost a math software. Competes with the most advanced scientific calculators on the market (like TI-89)
Pebbles - Very nice and free tool to remote control your pc. Can work like a touchpad
TCPMP - The one and only video player
MortPlayer - The one and only music player
SKTools - Very good collection of system tools
SpriteBackup - The classic backup tool
BGjr - Another *BIG* vote for mortplayer here. It's the only player that I can I get to work completely
Mviana - Felxmail 2007
lajson - I would higly recomend GSPlayer for mp3 and acc audio and internet radio station lissening with a tons of settings and equalizer
srmz - Another set of great applications from Softmaker which is Textmaker (Word Processor) and Planmaker (Spreadsheet).
music man - GoodLink - exchange server sync
wwwes - mapopolis GPS app, pocket stars - very nice star chart software
armedmetallica - Jetware Hands-free Extension provides additional functionality to the built-in Windows Mobile support for the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile
hotnan - Cash Organizer
dny238 - Windows Live Messenger Beta this app fixes all my problems syncing with Hotmail
I've stopped maintaining the above list...
Look here instead. Keep adding to this post, or add your stuff to the Wiki instead. I like the Forum's email alert feature.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Must_have_tools

i cant wait to give this a better shot tomorrow, this thing looks freaking awesome!!! i wish iguidance would give real time traffic updates like this

It's also very fast and works so much better than Virtual Earth Mobile, particularly when searching for something.

i wonder who made this program.. its to good of quality for a MS product but then again i havent given it a full trial yet...

The only issues I have had with it are related to the GPS connectivity and occasional lockups.
If I leave it running while I go into a store, frequently when i return to the car I can't get it to start communicating with the GPS again without quitting the entire application and starting it back up. Seems like simply unchecking GPS and rechecking from the Menu should do the job.
No other killer apps out there?
Rob

My killer apps have to be Resco Explorer and Microsoft VoiceCommand.
Resco Explorer... easy viewing of available memory, quick access to a (much better than the built in) file explorer, and a nice registry editor.
Microsoft Voice Command... fantastic! Never before have I used voice recognition that works so well, and doesn't require training!!

Follow my software reviews here at the Generic forum; there're a lot of killer apps I've reviewed.

Just tried WLS and you are correct - it is absolutely brilliant! What an amazing piece of software. Kudos for finding it.

Which Browser
So -- which browser do folks use? I have been playing around with Opera Mini -- which looks good. Can't figure out how to reprogram my upper right button to select it though (since, as a midlet, it does not show up separately in the program list)

I am not sure if this would qualify as a "killer app", but its a must install for me.
- Newsbreak 1.2

Pocket Informant is a must

RE: Windows Live Search Mobile
How the heck do I enter specific addresses for directions? It only lets me get directions from city to city, no directions to specific streets.
edit: I'm not using a GPS and I was testing on Wifi btw. I guess I'll try it out using Edge tomorrow at work, I get a weak GPRS connection at home and can barely connect.
Also, some searches seem to work, other searches don't. Maybe it'll work better over cellular data

I am a big fan of "INESOFT Address Book". Its fantastic to be able to look up contacts with one hand, and be able to choose to SMS them or call them with one hand and have big picture displays with clear big buttons when you get phone calls from people. Integrates perfectly and is by far the best thing i've installed on my Pocket PC.
I can now call, look up, and get around most of my communicating hickups i was experiencing before with 1 hand. My pocket pc is starting to feel like a mobile phone again. YAY!

i assume this only works for the usa - just downloaded it and it looks very good however im in the UK and then GPS couldnt download the data to support this - is there a UK version?

Agreed, it seems to be fantastic, but I can't seem to be able to do searches for files anymore, has that happened to any of you?
edit: i should rephrase that...now that the original search program has been replaced with live search, how does one search for local files?

I can recommend:
PocketBreeze - best today plugin for a good overview of your appointments, notes, tasks, birthdays etc.
SPB PocketPlus - Still the most complete collection of must have extensions for Windows Mobile (TastManager, Today launcher and much more)
GPRS Monitor - A must if you have to count your GPRS/UMTS traffic

Another *BIG* vote for mortplayer here. It's the only player that I can I get to work completely with my iTech R35 clip (full A2DP and AVRCP) on the SPV M3100 (TyTN). Combine it with a large memory card and the QVista skin and you have an unbeatable combination.
Unfortunately Mort's website forum database appears to have died a death right now, so I can't post links. However the version I'm using is 3.31RC6, and it works a treat.
That GPRS Monitor software looks interesting - is it free and where can I find it?

No problem Adamo. Download the file, copy and paste into your phone. After a click and install on your device. Simple as it should be...

Am I missing something?
This file is .zip, not .cab... When I copy to the phone and execute it opens as a zip file.
I tried to change the extension to .cab but no luck as well... I'm lost here...

I think to get YouTube its easier to open: m.youtube.com/app on your mobile phone.
It will download the .cab file so you just have to install it.
Or just download the cab file from here

Enjoy...

Great Idea Bobnaldo !
We should keep this thread alive and add more apps and games. I noticed you created an alphabetical order, may i suggest adding a few words describing each app, or arrange them by categories.

Here is a list of programs that I have encountered to work on the Treo Pro:
Treo Alert PRO 9.0 Beta 10:
-Manages LEDs to when events occur
-Manages vibration when events occur
-And More! A Must Have.
- Here
RealVGA:
- Switch between 96 DPI and 128 DPI.
SPB Mobile Shell:
-Works with default theme. Haven't figured out how to customize yet.
S2U2:
- Slide to Unlock Screen. Customizable like it's another Today Screen.
- Need to disable Treo Pro's default Lock Screen. Search!
SKtools:
- A Must Have. Many Tweaks that make Treo Pro faster plus it has Backup/Restore that works very well.
Advance Configuration Tool:
- Another Must Have. Many tweaks.
Androkkid:
-Customizable Today Screens with Plug ins, haven't figured out how to use yet.
Today Agenda:
-Displays Appointments/Tasks plug in for the today screen. Customizable to unlimited list.
WeatherPanel:
-Customizable Plug in for weather with icons and themes. Look for PhatPhinger 320x320 Theme. Looks Great!
Wisbar Desktop:
-Homescreen builder right on your touchscreen. Just about Anything is possible! It just takes forever.
Phone Alarm:
-Customizable Alarms, eventsm etc. with skin support.
Enjoy! Anyone please add to this. Looking for 320x320 supported Themes & Apps!

FDC Soft Task Manager

HookMgr

- v11.5 compatible ONLY. Any other version of pcAMobile, including 12, is NOT compatible. Runs but will have screen tearing in main menu; remote operation fully functional

ICBM
- Missile Command clone
Kevtris
- Tetris clone, with upgrades

SmartMahjongg

Change Skin
Change Skin:
If you have SPB Mobile Shell, here is an app that allows you to change skins without a soft reset.
http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php
As far as I know this is the only way for SPB Mobile Shell to work on the Treo Pro as it supports 320x320.
I am having trouble with adding new widgets to the themes. I have the list of them but when I try to add the new widgets in Mobile Shell the list is not there.
Anyone can help me?

Moar apps!
BTW, all apps I mention have been personally tested for functionality on a Sprint Treo Pro ("STP").
Also, I am still using all apps mentioned except Kinoma [Free]Play and CleanRAM, both of which I did not like and uninstalled (Kinoma after much hair pulling over the decision). I was trying to give Kinoma the benefit of the doubt but all it did was try my patience every single time I (was sometimes 'forced') to use it.
GPSWeatherRadar
- GPS positioning enabled satellite & radar weather
WMStopWatch
- stopwatch and countdown timer functions. 'Digital' (rather than faux-analog) time readout interface, can play WAV file (only format supported) at end of countdown

Weather to Go
- Today screen weather plugin. Graphics, multiple locations, etc.
WeatherPanel
XDA-developed Today screen weather plugin app. Graphics, multiple locations, historical weather graphs, choice of Today plugin theme formats and looks, etc. IMHO the best weather for WinMo devices. Download the WeatherPanel app plus the PhatPhinger 320x320 theme as well as the Phat+48+Classic theme mod to get all Today plugin options and correct format for Treo Pro.

more apps
Since the official Opera Mini 3 was released a few weeks ago, it has been great. So glad I could finally set it as the default browser on my treo pro, it's like it breathed new life into it!
Here's a few other apps that I have installed in my Sprint Treo Pro.
WMWiFiRouter - never could get the HTC wifirouter to work on my treo pro, but this is solid and steady.
BeyondPod - RSS feed reader and podcast manager. Easy download of your favorit podcasts.
Yomomedia - another RSS feed reader and podcast manager
Kinoma Play - A little expensive but good piece of software
KeePassPPC - mobile passwords, wish it was more finger friendly, but do like it because I can copy the password file to my desktop and use the desktop version.
DCP Enable Roaming - enables roaming button on Sprint treo pro. Great for me, because the Sprint signal is weak where I work and I sometimes have to flip it to roaming to get a good verizon signal.
Endomondo - GPS tracker. I tried SportyPal, and it didn't work, Endomondo is pretty good though.
Gmail 2.0.6 (java) - I don't really like the way WinMo Outlook works with gmail, but do have ActiveSync pulling in my Gmail contacts.
Bolt Browser (java) - When Opera Mini doesn't work, Bolt usually will.

Stick Thread!

Tell me, Treoprodragon, how is Kinoma Play full (paid) edition? The fact is, the STP came with Kinoma FreePlay (the no-cost version) from the factory...and I hated it SO much that I deleted it, even though it was free and OEM.
FreePlay's worse offense was when I went to open up an image, say from the SD card - Kinoma would open, display the picture and overlay "Preparing" (I can't remember the exact wording)...sometimes for over 1 MINUTE. Sometimes it would NEVER give me back control of the app, just staying locked on "Preparing", and I'd not only have to kill Kinoma but do a soft reset because of the ensueing memory leak. Grrrr
I did a reg hack to get my picture viewers back to MS OEM...but the I found FreePlay shows fewer YouTube results than the actual YouTube player, contrary to Kinoma's claims to the contrary.
In other words, Kinoma FreePlay simply seemed to do everything WRONG.

Mass Storage for Treo Pro
nueMassStorage seems to be working fine.
I am using version 1.2 installed via CAB file. Just tap new icon (not old one) inside settings -> connections -> USB to PC, select Mass storage, while advanced networking will be disabled under inactive Activesync part.
tested on GSM version T850UEU-1.01-VFU
