Hi. I'm currently waiting för my Qtek S100 and now I'm interested in what software I should buy to get what's missing in Windows Mobile. I currently use an iPAQ, så I have some knowledge about common programs, but I would like to know what programs are suggested for the phone part of the Qtek. Money is not an issue.
Regards
Lobo
I use
Smart Filter,
MyProfiles,
Sunnysoft+ phone edition
PhotoContacts
Thanks for the reply. What are the programs for? Any other suggestions? Come on I know there are a lot of ppl out there
indeed a good suggestion. Maybe we can make a list of essentials.
My top 10 apps are,
1)Spb PocketPlus2 <--- Close button that really closes. ZIP support in File Explorer and many more.
2)PocketZenPhone <--- A phone profile. A MUST HAVE!! better than JGUI buggy apps (no hard feelings dude :lol: )
3)Dashboard Minute Tracker <---- Track Phone minutes on a daily/monthly basis. Includes configurable plans, alerts, graphs, call log export, and signal strength!
4)PocketMusic <--- Nice interface and it plays OGG too. :lol: i love my oggs.
5)Bejeweled2 <--- Drive me NUTS coz i cant beat my GF high score
6)MorphGear <--- Awsome Emulator
7)Bryht Flash Player <--- Play your flash clips and game in full screen.
8)CabInstl <--- Makes installation in the chosen place, instead of by default, as standard installer.
9)RealOne Player <--- ...must i say anything?
10)Hope someone will make a camera apps or games. B4 the magician, i used to own a NK6600. I juz missed those camera games like Mosquitos, Killer Virus and etc.

SPB only unzip. Pocket RAR unzip and unrar. RAR has better compression then ZIP. Maybe some prefer RAR rather then ZIP. As for me, i prefer RAR
Nice! Now I have a ton of new stuff to look up and try. If I get my freakin phone!
RAR files are sometimes much smaller than ZIP files, but in the worst case, they become same size as ZIP, but never larger!
RAR is much more better than ZIP, also it does support archive recovery & its possible to fix damaged RAR files easily. :wink:

Help will be greatly appreciated.

Phone dashboard - good for statistics

Here's the description

The Collectorz.com programs for Windows let you enter your collection with ease, then Ilium's ListPro software lets you view your collection data while on the road, in the store or at a fair. Never buy duplicates again, you will always know what you own.
About ListPro by Ilium Software
ListPro is a multifeatured list manager for use on your Palm or Pocket PC device. Great for everything from simple to-do lists to a database for your favorite collection.

I've tested it out, and it works very well. If you have access to a barcode scanner, you only need to scan your book's barcode, and then you get all the info about the book from websites and inputed in the fields of the program. Amazing time-saving stuff. You can catalogue hundreds of books in less than an hour.
Hi ak123456, here is link to some of the mentioned above programs with discount for forum readers.
Without a doubt, the best app I've found for the Pocket PC is SBSH's PocketBreeze (details here).
It is a Today screen plug-in that makes the default Calendar, Tasks, Contacts and Messaging apps sing by providing an intuitive interface and quick access to features. It can also work with Pocket Informant which I notice you already have. Spb Diary is a copy of PocketBreeze and lacks a lot of the customisation features.
Aside from that, I've tried Spb Pocket Plus and while I found it quite good, it slowed down my device and had more features than I needed. I replaced it with SBSH's iLauncher (details here) which I embed in the PocketBreeze muti-tab interface and find it much leaner and snappier.
Other apps I use are:
- Dinarsoft MemMaid
- Dinarsoft Handyswitcher
- SBSH's PocketWeather
- Resco Explorer.
agree on PocketBreeze but nothing on Notes
PocketBreeze is by far the best application (after 10 years of Palm, HP, Toshiba, Axim, SPV C500 and now Qtek S200)
Since Notes were uncategorized on PPC, I search for a nice application to organize them. Phatnotes is great but not on my S200. Support says it has to do with security and certificates. After installing it ActiveSync produces an error on synchronization, uninstall and everything is fine again on the best pda I have had so far.
I am wondering what apps/games you really really reccomend that are essential. Like an essential Today launcher is iLauncher, an essential application is voice command, and an essential game is marble worlds.
just list them, i really need to know. thanks.
- Batti. Get a good look at the battery status in the wizard. [freeware]
- Birthday. Get ur contacts birthdays in today screen with age etc. [freeware]
- SPB ToPlay. Play WMP playlist from today screen. very simple apps. too bad doesn't support shuffle option. [shareware?]
- TCPMP. Divx player for windows mobile. [freeware]
- InClose Mobile. Best task manager I've seen to date. Switch to tasks. Close All, Turn off screen (cool for listining to music), landscape switch without sliding open keyboard. and other features. [freeware]
- E-TEN Dialer Vista skin. Cool dialer skin apps (unfortunately only English compatible and u lose smardial if u use it. [freeware]
- BatteryStatus. Overclocking the wizard in one simple touch, also continues overclocking. [freeware]
Most of the software can be found via Google or search the forum.
Cheers,
Shah
I use a few, but the must have's for me are;
Opera - PIE just can't handle java script as well and it has faster page rendering and tabs.
TomTom - The best GPS software.
Conduits Pocket Player - The best MP3 player, gapless playback, streaming, great format support and plugins. I dont think there is a better music player for WM5.
TCPMP - The best video player but dont use it much now i have a PSP.
iLauncher - Today program launcher. The MDA does not have the resolution or screen real estate for the clutter other today plugins make IMO. I only use it to launch TomTom, Pocket Player and Memory Map when i am driving.
inClose - Like magic button, but better, more options and has never crashed like MB always did for me.
Resco Explorer - The best file management app by far. If you own a WM5 device, it should be illegal to not have it.
Memmaid - Cleans up temp files, caches and registry. Not without it's fault, but there is nothing else that can really do what it does as far as i know.
Voice Command - Great for voice activation but when the hell are they going to update it for bluetooth and reading text/emails?
here are mine
iLauncher - Today launcher
PocketBreeze - Today launcher
Voice Command - Voice activation?
Magic Button - Closes applications (freeware)
Marble Worlds - Great Game (similar to marble maddness on NES)
Virtual Pool Mobile - Pool hustling simulater
OmapClock - overclocking
Pope Battery Status - displays battery status at top (made by somebody in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21699&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
(except it does have 2 problems, you can't turn it off without uninstalling it, and it shows up on every page, not just the today screen... bad during movies).

On the HS850, the gateway closes if you push the button. But pushing the button again reopens it. So it just takes two pushes to activate VC--one to open the gateway and one for VC. It's usable on the Motorola.

If you use latest version of WM5Newmenu (version 2.0.0 beta) happened to me the same but solution is easy..
Create a shortcut like this in which folder you like
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -To ""
Don't forget the quotation marks and create a new menu Item and point the shourtcut you have created. And If you just want to check mail in the background (won't popup the email client screen) shourtcut is like this
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -Sync
:wink:
Thats great, thanks for that. I used the paramaters option in Newmenu rather than create a lnk file, but it still works fine.
Much appreciated.
Glad to help you , sure it works without a shortcut but I am used to create a shortcut for to use as a today item too. :wink:
Hello all,
I've just bought a shiny new Ameo. Overall, I'm very happy with it. The keyboard is a bit of a challenge when your hands cover as much acreage as mine, but im sure i'll get used to its idiosyncratic layout and lack of num lock. in time.
So now i'm thinking about which apps to install.
What do you guys think are the essentials? The apps my ameo shouldn't be without?
cheers!
Tomtom 6
MS Live Search
Voice Command
live search - good shout. installed it.
built in gps; i'm lovin it.
Coreplayer (check the other threads in this forum for how to setup) for DivX/XVid playback.
iGo2006 (instead of TomTom6, it's much better ;-) ).
Avantgo client for News/RSS.
Mobipocket Reader for Books.
Also:
AEB Buttons 2.5.2
WM6 Remote Desktop
Skype
Some that I forgot because I'm so used to them being there:
SPB Diary 2.0
SPB Weather
SPB Time
Skype^^ - definately - the VOIP functions of skype actually work using the Athena, the processor in the Wizard wasn't quite good enough.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned ozVGA or MrTrueVGA.
It HAS to be the first thing you install (I prefer ozVGA), closely followed by VJBigPhone and WA2.
Then of course it all depends on what you do with the device, or intend to do.
I really like coreplayer, Resco Explorer and the reg. edit addon
I wouldn't mind some suggestions for an instant messaging program that handles both MSN messenger and Google talk. IM+ 4.33 and 4.35 keeps crashing for me.
Edit: As for num lock. Yes you can do that. Takes a lilttle fiddling with the special button though. 4 presses in a row to lock the "blue keys", 4 presses to "unlock". A little silly, but you get used to it.
my apps...
- IM+ I'm running this without any issues.
- pRSSreader as it's free. I disable the today plug because it makes my phone run slow and i think sometimes lock up.
- WiFiFoFum.
- WM6 Remote Desktop, much better than the WM5 Remote Desktop client.
- TomTom6
- AE Button Plus
- Magic Button
- Resco Explorer (ftp addon, registry addon and works great to connect to other computers on your network.
- SmallMenu Plus
- Sprite Backup
- Total Commander
- VGA software already mentioned above
- Pocket Informant
- BlueTooth and Wifi icons for tray. Someone posted them to the Athena forum recently.
I want to hear what others have installed also. I want to add more and more and more.
Edit: MortPlayer (just an awesome and FREE audio player)
Best photo editing?
What's the best photo editing software for the Athena/WM5? Just looking for something with a lot of options when editing pictures.

apphoen...thanks a bunch for an excellent tip. iGo 2006 with UK maps is absolutely brill! I much prefer it to TomTom 6 and have already uninstalled from my Ameo. I much prefer the options in iGo but lack the speed camera warnings. Will test it out some more and if all goes well, will probably invest further.
Thanks again for a great heads up.

WA2
Resco Explorer 2007 with all plug-ins
TCPMP 0.72RC or Coreplayer
David Andr 'Batti'

WM5torage - must have
SKTools - must have
Resco Pocket Radio v1.60
Resco Photoviewer v6
RARLAB Pocket RAR
Windows Live

iGo 2006 (just converted from TomTom 6.1)
int13 PacMad (looks sweet on the 5" screen and plays beautifully) as does the following VGA games:
Spb Brain Evolution
Spb Xonix II SA VGA
Real Dice Dominoes, Sudoku Master II & Mahjong
Acky's XP Breakout

I use the default WA2 skin. Then I just take my favorite tsk and adapt it to VGA (96 dpi), and maybe change a few colors. I don't do to much since the default is nice enough.
I really like the look of iGo, so I installed it after a hard reset and configured it. Since synchronising with my Exchange account to get my contacts, it now loads up saying it is searching for contact addresses and performance might be reduced. No matter what I do, it then exits the application after around 30 secs or so. Any ideas? I really don't want to go back to TomTom!!

Christ! No idea! I'm not on an exchange server so it found my contacts fairly swiftly with no problems.
Sorry I can't help with that one.
Here's my pick of the top Pocket PC Apps:

SlingPlayer Mobile
WisBar Advance 2
Pocket Weather
TomTom Navigator (I run 5.21)
Opera Mobile
HTTPMail Provider

You can Google for all these products, or else see the list with hyperlinks.

I use push mail from an exchange account and haven't had this problem, although come to think of it I haven't added a further contact recently. Will try and report back.

I'm new to the windows mobile world but I'm loving my 8525. After a few days of reading I successfully upgraded to vp3g WM6 rom.
Now I'm wondering what are some of the must have apps that I should install?
Must have APPS )for me at least( .. Wisbar Advanced, Pocketbreeze, Phonealarm, PocketRSS, Madden 2006, Call of Duty 2.. Weatherpanel, Virtual Pool.. um .. yeah thats pretty much all I need..
Great choice, I have the vp3g 2.0 on my 8525 as well.
Currently I'm running (must have):
New Kaiser HTC Home Plugin
IM+ (for aim and google talk)
Opera browser
Resco Explorer
SPB Backup
Other junk:
SBSH Weather (not sure if its my favorite or not)
Slide2Unlock (dont know why I installed it)
Tweaks:
shogun cingy threaded sms hack (threaded sms conversation like on treo)
I need all these:

Got a link? did a search with no results.
My favourites are - Opera Browser, SPB Insight, SPB Diary, SPB Mobile Shell, SPB Backup, 1-Calc, Monopoly, Scabble, Microsoft Reader, TomTom 6, Google Maps, PHM RegEdit and Snails. Hope this long list helps.
If you like adding software - the first thing above all else to get is a full backup application. I use SPB backup but there are others. It will save you from having a miserable time when you have to do a hard reset (which you will at some point!)

I have been through alot of programs, and the one I can seem to live without is SPB Phone Suite. I find with the last 3 roms I have tried from here, this seems to work on all of them. And that makes me very happy.
I lke SPB Mobile Shell too. 23 years of being a jet aircraft mechanic, my fingers aren't what they used to be.
For IM try Octro
Others are The Core Pocket Mobile Player, MobiBlgr, Pocket Mechanic, and Nine Hole Golf.
I am still working on mixing and matching, but these I use the most.
I did alot of searching around and have a good compilation of programs. I had a Toshiba E740 when I was stationed in Japan, and I still have a few cool things from that stuuf I would like to find new versions of for my 8525.
Since this is both an unusual device (bigger screen, vga and lots of memory) and a brand new OS (WM6), I thought it would be a good idea to have people chime in on what applications they are using on their WM6 Athena.
Try and let us know whether it is a Game or Application, Freeware or Purchased, and if you can, provide a link.
Hopefully we can all help each other get the most out of these fantastic multi-purpose devices.
I will start.
RealVGA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830
First off, I love the huge VGA screen so my first search was for a great Resolution modification utility to get the most out of my screen real estate.
I have to hand it to Tobias, he has done a fantastic job with this one. Thanks a lot!
After screen res comes my necessary info:
HTC Home - Can't remember exactly where I got it, but it was from here somewhere.
eWallet - http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/ew/ewallet.php I love the way this application syncronizes my information with my desktop and lets me divide into categories for easy retreival
ListPro - http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/lp/listpro.php - Another great app from these guys. I am very project oriented, and this application lets me create my own types of lists and then syncs them with my desktop.
Mobipocket -http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp?Language=EN - Still the best IMHO for reading all the books I want to read (that aren't PDFs).
wmIRC - http://wmirc.com/ A great IRC app!
TCPMP - http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/ Simply the best media player for our platform IMHO
What I am looking for:
A good Financial Program that Syncs with MS Money - I am trying Ultrasoft Money... I'll let you know how it goes.
Good Memory and Tweak Utilities - Have always loved Pocket Mechanic, but the graphics are horrible on the screen with RealVGA - looking at MemMaid
GAMES - I really want some good puzzle games! anyone that has any suggestions, please let me know!
Look forward to seeing what others have on their devices... Let me know!

My X7501 Apps...
Here are my apps... All are commercial unless otherwise noted.
AnywhereMap (aviation GPS moving map/navigation)
FlexWallet 2006 (personal data manager)
Mapopolis (backup to TeleNav when no data connection is available) Free but maps cost. Now defunct.
M$ Remote Desktop for running my server/PC from the X7501 (free CABs here)
Skype (VoIP calls/chats) Free
Spb Backup (backup/restore)
TCPMP (Swiss Army knife media player) Free
TeleNav (subscription GPS navigation; simply the best IMHO)
TheSky Pocket Edition (for the astronomy geek in me)
YaRPNcalc (RPN calculator for the HP geek in me) Free
Sorry for no links; Google is your friend...
OziExplorerCE - moving map application
CorePlayer - much better that TCPMP for only 25 bucks
Tomtom 6.030 with WWE maps
Blackberry Connect version 2 - my corporate push-mail system
GenGisCad - An AutoCad files viewer
Google Maps - Now it works with internal GPS
MemMaid - Quite dangerous tunning program for your PDA
pPod - A program that simulates a iPod in your PDA. Difficult to find because Apple put its makers into Court. Better used in portraid since in landscape mode some important key is left outside of the screen. (drop me a private msg with an email address if someone want it)
psShutXP - A program to reset/shutdown/shut screen the PDA
PHM RegEdit - Must have if you need to access the registry
VisualGPSce - Simple GPS application. Just show you information about GPS
WM5torage 1.73 - To use your Microdrive or MiniSD as a USB key. Use 1.73 don't install 1.75 yet since this new one has some bugs on it.
PPCFinder - What do you do if you need to find a file in your PDA? Running this program. Very useful when I need to find a missing DLL or EXE file.
Pencilbox - a program for my daugther to draw on the PDA. Great for your children.
pPod
