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!

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.

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?

thanks man happy holidays

after deleting omega battery is all ok

I've done a hard reset. Did a fresh install of everything
I've the ff: Today Plugins in Main memory
SBSH PocketBreeze
SBSH PocketWeather
SPB PocketPlus 2.5
Still my BT icon get's lost after soft-reset. If I disable SBSH PocketBreeze my BT icon can be seen. Is there anyway for me to put a link to BT icon on startup folder? So that the icon will still be loaded even if I have PocketBreeze active?

BTW I also have BTtools installed

What's On Your x7501?

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
Hi, it is really intresting to see pPod program.
Can you send it to me please?

This is a must have on everyone's Jade. Why I say so ? Because I nearly bricked my phone doing all those customising and registry hacking. Restoring from last backup save my day. DO BACKUP ONCE IN A WHILE AND EVERYTIME BEFORE MODIFYING SYSTEM FILES !!! Don't take things for granted.
