Software suggestions?

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:

Programs That work in Jasjar

Hello :
Anybody can put a list of software that already tried and work in jasjar ?
Thnks a Lot
Luis.

I'll start:
Hudson IP dashboard
SPB PocketPlus 3
Tweaks2K2 latest build
Wisbar Advance 2 (latest beta build)
Resco File Explorer
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5

rilot have you tried Hudson Phone Dashboard. Does it work as well?
Thanks

Just checked.
Yes it does.

try looking at the lists of programs which works on himalaya and blue angel
in mw2005 mode it would be likely that compatiblity is os related and not
hardware related

Fax software for jasjar?
Any links appreciated

Hi,
Here is the link for working programs in WM5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20727&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
By the way, Anyone ever successfully installed Money 2005 for PPC?
I tried to install it. It installed successfully, but when ActiveSync 4 sync the money database, a box just came out saying "Reading device databases" and stays there forever. No sincronization at all...
Best Regards,

You may already know, but MS has released Money2006 for PPC.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...65-42f5-4dca-b301-9f05a8583692&DisplayLang=en
I haven't tried it, but maybe it will solve your sync issues? If not, then we ought to slap MS for not even preparing their own software for AS4 and WM5.

WM2005 and software working (not??)
In relation to these:
SPB PocketPlus 3
Resco File Explorer
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5
I couldnt get them to work. SPB works for "quicklaunch" on the today screen, but no forced "close", no battery indicator, no PIE tweaks etc.
Resco couldnt even see the windows directory, and all Icons were not displaying correctly, and MSVC installed but doesnt work properly, and now wont install as I cant even get the icon out of settings.
If somebody can help me to get these to work, wonderful, maybe I have old versions? I love these 3 products and would be grateful to anybody who can help get them to work.

use the latest versions of resco exolorer and spb produts(plus,weather,gprs). they works

SW use in Jasjar(tested all working)
Pocket Paint
Sound Editor
VT sketch
wordmateha
winzip
games
Flux challange
sky force
billiards

Well, I currently have:
Working perfectly:
SPB Pocket Plus 3.1
Pocket Weather
Resco Explorer
Resco Radio
Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide
Tweaks 2K2
SK Tools
One For All Solitaires
Worms World Party
Working and Usable:
Pocket Breeze (Some settings screens don't display perfectly, but it doesn't affect usability)
Pocket Music Bundle (Folder selection screens have some corruption, but after setting it up to load my entire music folder into the playlist at startup, everything appears in my playlist without any problems)
Morphgear (You need to fiddle about with the 'Orientation' and button mapping settings to get the up, down left and right buttons to actually 'do' up, down left and right, as Morphgear refuses to run properly in landscape mode)
Not working:
Contact Breeze
I've also tried out the SPB Weather & Diary which work perfectly, but I'm happier with Pocket and Contact Breeze (when it's updated) and Pocket Weather, so I've ditched most of my SPB stuff.

So far:
Pocket Plus 3.01
Planmaker - but beware you have to install in portrait mode
Textmaker - " " " " " " "
Calendar Plus from MohairSofa - a little dodgy doesn't quite line up the list right.

OK, I'll add my successes and failures:
Full Details click here
Very Good:
SOTI Pocket Controller v5.04 with my own skin.
WebIS Pocket Informant 2005 R3 Beta.
SBSH Pocket Breeze v4.3.18
Lakeridge WisBar Advance 2 v2.4.1.10
TCMP BetaPlayer v0.66
SPB Pocket Plus v3.0.1
Pocket Hack Master 2005 v3.15.000
Total Commander Registry cleaner
With some issue or disabled feature:
Pocket Music Bundle Pro v3.71 - but with landscape issues
VITO Sound Explorer 2005 v1.25 - No Today Plugin - Needs Hack Master!
Can't be installed yet:
Sprite Backup v3.1.3
SBSH Contact Breeze v1.1.0.1
CoPilot v5.0 GPS software
Rumored to work with some fiddling:
Tom Tom Navigator v5.1 GPS
Destinator 3 GPS

@Kevinnugent
In case of Planmaker have you noticed that once the available ram drops to around 15MB it stops working. The colourful circle spins for a short duration and then nothing happens. I do a soft reset which restores the available RAM to around 27MB and then planmaker starts working again till the available RAM again drops to 15MB or so.
I am using it on a JJ and this is a problem for me. For you and others I don't really know but would be obliged if you can test for me the operation of Planmaker at reduced memory conditions. Love to hear your comments.
Regards

This has been identified as an issue cause by PocketPlus, you should see whether you run the latest version 3.01 build 4036 or later.
An updated version of Planmaker is in the works though.

Do any Application from Pocket pc 2003/se work on Mobile 5 ?

I wanna know if anybody know any applications or software that work's or is compatible windows Mobile 5 on the Wizard ?
Am sure the Java Games or apps should work.
Any one tried any that do ?

Tried to install the latest versions of Pocket Informant and SPB Pocket Plus on my I-mate K-Jam but neither worked. Still waiting for replies from tech support departments, will post outcome when I know more.

Thanks for Reply
As soon as i get mine in a few days I will be testing it to the full. I will be downloading and installing many java games and apps and trying anything i get my hands on, on it. Tomtom Mobile 5 for definate !
I am sure many other Helpful people out there will be too, so Keep us posted All !!
Thanks to all those that do !!

SPB Pocket Plus works flawlessly in my BlueAngel WM5 machine, however, I feel that SPB P+ slowed down my device so I decided to use combination of iLauncher v2.2 (http://www.sbsh.net) and Wisbar Advance 2.4.1.9 (http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com) which runs awesome (much faster than using SPB Pocket Plus)
As for pocket informant, you need to download WM5 version from here:
http://download.pocketinformant.com/FTF/PI_Public_Build/
I hope this helps

there is a big list of progs that are known to work/not work in the himalaya forum.
what i dont understand though is if the program is known to work ok on wk2k5 himalaya, will the same prog work on a k-jam which has a different kind of CPU? or is it all like PC's now where the make of the cpu doesnt really matter and that windows takes care of all that kind of stuff.

there is already a warning that tomtom 5 will not install properly through activesync 4, (files have to be transfered without activesync 4) this may also be why some other programs will seem to be incompatable with wm5?
so if you can transfer the program eg by card reader that you want to test, then install it, you may get better results.
mine should be arriving tomorrow
changing the subject slightly, ordered mine from http://www.smartdevicesdirect.com/index.php
very happy with the service.

Post your results, share with the world.

Hi marto_martin,
Hope this helps sure it does, it ain't free though

Cheers, M

Here's the list of my must have's and how to's. To start with, installing the Big Storage ROM will make your device way faster, but ONLY IF you install most of the programs in Storage. This way, your free RAM will be 13Mb Prog/9Mb Storage most of the time!
The list of essential programs I don't do without:
1) SBSH Pocket Breeze: gives a lot of information on the Today screen and is not performance hungry. Very very stable. I installed in Storage.
2) Pocket Max PhoneAlarm: Today plug-in that allows you set profiles and assign MP3 tones to SMS as well.
3) Sprite Backup: Simply the best backup tool that also comes with Sprite Space Detective and a Today Plug-in for battery and memory monitoring. Using this plug-in I saved myself from installing SPB Pocket Plus (I don't want to run programs from a today plug-in, most of them are accessible from the Start menu anyway).
4) TKCreator: a theme editor that allows me to modify themes on the PPC and also select themes stored anywhere on the device without modifying the registry. FREE.
5) PSShutXP: a program that lets you soft-reset the PPC without having to fiddle with the stylus. FREE.
6) TCPMP (Beta Player): for those weird formats that WMP10 does not recognise
7) MemMaid: Mostly useful to delete Internet Cache and Mail attachment. You wouldn't need the Bad Installation clean ups if you stick to only the software you use and the only software that works. When I want to fiddle with some new software I just take a backup before I start and restore if I need to.
8) Microsoft Voice Command: ideal in the car, where I just say "Play ..." or "Call ..." at the press of a button.
9) Modified MS BT stack: at least this stack works properly with my wife's Nokia 6230. A2DP is also welcome with this stack.
10) MobiPocket Reader: a very cool RSS/News reader that I snychronise every morning, thus making my favorite daily readings available off-line any time of the day. (I'm subsribed (FREE) to CNN, BBC News, BBC Tech, The Register, Pocket PC Thoughts, MS Windows Mobile Team Blog, The Times of Malta and Soccer Net.)
Finally, with regards to closing apps as opposed to minimising them (one of the most popular features of SPB Pocket Plus), I found that with plenty of RAM available (after installing all progs to Storage), leaving the apps runnning in the background makes the Magician MUCH MORE responsive.
Since I installed the above setup I never ever had to reset the device. It's the best I ever had. Almost flawless.

I have only two apps running. Spb Pocket Plus and tAgenda. Between the two, I have all the information I need. I prefer to keep my memory useage low, so that when I open those two or three applications, they have lots of memory.

kta: I've searched, but can only find onfo on the Bluesoleil BT stack - not a modified MS stack. Can you please direct us to info on how to do this upgrade.

Best 10 Apps

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.
Apps I cannot live without:
WA2
Resco Explorer 2007 with all plug-ins
TCPMP 0.72RC or Coreplayer
David Andr 'Batti'
AE Button Plus v 2.51

WM5torage - must have
SKTools - must have
Resco Pocket Radio v1.60
Resco Photoviewer v6
RARLAB Pocket RAR
Windows Live
Zombienexus WM6 3G Video Calling Dialler skin
Silent Services btIO - normal audio through BT headset
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

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:
NewsBreak 2.0
SlingPlayer Mobile
WisBar Advance 2
Pocket Weather
TomTom Navigator (I run 5.21)
Opera Mobile
HTTPMail Provider
eWallet
You can Google for all these products, or else see the list with hyperlinks.
