Best utilities and programs to use

Hey all,
Can anyone refer me to previous posts where people were posting what they thought were the best and useful programs used on their imates/xdaIIs? I remember reading some and now can't find them using search. Or if anyone would like to add their 2cents.
thanks in advance.

My favs (and not all of them are stuff you have to pay for either) are:
Pocket Plus 2.0
WeatherPanel
KitaraGenesis
JournalBar (kinda)
SPB GPRS Monitor
RealOne Player (great for Simpsons episodes!)
Some of the JGUI stuff is good too though I have limited space on my today screen thanks to the above!

best
This is what I have...
PocketZenPhone 3.6.2
Pocket Informant 5
SPB Pocket Plus 2.0
SPB Full Screen Keyboard 2.0
Microsoft Voice Command 1.01
Resco File Explorer 2003
eWallet 3.1
Sprite Pocket Backup Plus 3.0
Dictionary-to-go
Intellsync 5.3
EzWap 2.5
Ummmm, I think that's all I use! :shock:

I find the following apps very useful:
Worldmate 2004 Pro
SPB Pocket Plus 2.0
SPB Full Screen Keyboard 2.0
Super Cleaner
Calendar Plus
Storage Tools
Real One Player
Agile Messenger

pocket mechanics is also pretty nice and somewhat an alternativ to storage tools but it benchmarks aswell and have the possiblity for you to compare your sd card speed with other cards and other devices using the same card as you

Caligrapher
Pocket Informant

These are the Utilities and Applications that I have kept.
Since I only have a device with 32 MB RAM I have to be selective in what I choose to load and keep, so here they are:
PocketZenPhone 3.6.2 (Okay, has no frills, but small in size and it works well)
Agenda Fusion (Had informant but didn't really care for the way it was setup)
SPB GPRS Utility Monitor
Grundle File Explorer 2003
AirScanner Mobile Anti-Virus
Weis Soft Fast Drive Cleanup
Applian Virtual Wallet (Great to keep all you CC and ID info)
Applian Picture Perfect (Great for keep digital albums on your device)
Applian Cool Clock (Great Alarm Clock with LARGE LED Display)
Applian Pocket Status (Only to see free space on my SD Card and Internal Memory)
Macromedia Flash Player
PHM Task Manager
PHM Registry Editor
Pocket Workout Journal by Bigman Software (Great to track your workouts and chart your progress)
SBSH.net Pocketweather (Great to keep track of weather in 5 different locations)

You can also take a look at this thread where some of us have previously listed our apps including top 10's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11941
Ed

Quite a few
I guess it depends what you want, it would take too long to re-type my list - look here for my personal favourites.

imate JAM english BT icon missing from Navigation Tray

My BT icon is missing after installing some apps!? BT can still be activated via going into Settings>Connections>Bluetooth any ideas?
I emailed imate and they said I should perform a hard reset?! is this advisable?

What "some" applications? They are applications out there that install icons in the tray and some of them don't place them correctly. Uninstall them one by one and see what happenes.

I have the following on my imate JAM... have you experienced any problems with any of this apps (are there known issues with any of the apps I am using?) If I uninstall the 'malicious app' my BT icon will return or do I have to do a hard reset?

What version of WEBIS Mail? I tired V2.22 Beta and keep getting exception errors when I try to run it.
Thanks

The list of Software here is from a different site . short cut to that site is on the bottom of the list.
If the version is not there, then am sorry but i dont know myself. i can only guess the latest version of the program may work.
I personally have not test them but have installed over 6 in the list and they work ok. one thing i have noticed is when some programs come to uninstalling they dont get completly removed, i have hade to brouse to there directiry and remove that and the short cuts myself. then using pocket mechanic to remove and registry problems or missing short cuts.
If you find any of them not working or causing problem then feel free to update us with you findings.
the list is a rough guide to apps on windows mobile 5 tested by someone. but not 100% garanteed to work on the wizard.
hope this helps

WEBIS Mail V2.22 works just be sure if you select not to keep the msgs in local folders that you select the data directory in main memory and NOT Storage Card, otherwise it will crash.
:roll:

There's a site here: http://www.wm5fixsite.com/
..attempting to consolidate all of this information in an organized manner.
Are all your findings already there?

Handyswitcher ignore list
Somehow i cannot add programs to the ignore list in handy switcher. I have found the corresponding registry key, but nothing i enter shows up in the program.
I would like to add the phone application to the ignore list, since it cannot/shouldnot be closed.
Anyone who knows the correct syntax (or got it working another way?)

MOST USEFUL & COMPATIBLE APPS FOR THE HTC UNIVERSAL

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and will soon get my brand new untouched O2 XDA EXEC, as soon as the seller (Gaurav - very nice person) sends it via FEDEX to the United States.
Anyway, this topic is dedicated to COMPATIBLE applications designed for windows mobile 5 and the HTC UNIVERSAL. My aim is to compile the applications by category. Please post with a small description of the software and what it does, WITH LINKS PLEASE, and I will update this first post of mine to add all the sites. Any more suggestions as to what other category to add to the list is also welcome.

Sorry for this stupid question. What is clear type?
I took the asterisk off the Tiny E Book Reader.

Cleartype is a subpixel rendering technology to make fonts more readable on lcd displays. Basically, is like antialiasing but for fonts.

It sometimes just makes things look slightly blurry. I find at VGA resolution on the universal it's worse, not better. But others may disagree.

I just installed PocketZenPhone on the Jasjar last night and works great. This app is a must have to do phone profiles. Works great from my testing so far:

I am also using Pocket Weather from SBSH software which integrates nicely into the Homescreen and has VGA icons:

And Newsbreak for your RSS reading works great on the Jasjar:

I have a question about defining WM5.0 compatibility. Instead of just being a yes or no answer, I lump applications in three categories:
1 - Fully WM5.0 compatible (explicit mention from the developer)
2 - Not specified as compatible, but working on WM5.0
3 - Do not work on WM5.0
What are your thoughts on giving the applications a rating along these lines to give a little more detail on where an app stands? I know a few of the apps I'm using now don't specify WM5.0 compatibility but are working just fine. It would be nice to know about these apps that are working, perhaps with a "use at your own risk" caveat.

Cool with me. I'll integrate it now.

Please do let me know if I mislabelled anything.

I have a couple readers:
