I'm kinda curious which programs you got installed on your Wizard.
I'd thought it would be nice to exchange our experiences here.
I'll go first
SBSH PocketBreeze v5
Adds alot of the functions of your phone directly on your Today screen, like your agenda, tasks, notes, messages and you can add other functions like pcoket msn, tomtom, etc aswell.
Works very well!
TranCreative Magic Button
A taskmanager which adds the ability to add programs you're running to your startbar, close single or all running programs and some other nice features.
Has a few problems with closing down active sync and call application.
ScaryBear Software Check Notifications
Cleans up duplicate entries in the database of your phone to increase performance.
Can't life without it
C. Ghrisler & Co. Total Commander
Alternative file explorer which supports registery editing and much more!
Good alternative to the build in file explorer
TCPMP The Core Pocket Media Player
Mediaplayer which support almost every type of media file there is, runs very smoothly and very stable.
Can't life without it
TomTom Navigator 5
Navigation software for PDA, but works well on your Wizard. Support traffice, weather and much more (extra services).
A pain to get it installed on your Wizard, but when it works you don't want anything else. Running v5.21 now.
Worms PPC
Do I need to say more...
Still looking for a better taskmanager and a snes emulator optimized for the Wizard.
...
So, what are you using?
Have you tried SmallMenu? Works great on the Universal, should work fine on the Wizard.
It's a task manager and launcher in one. Commercial or free versions available. Wish I'd written it!

Hi,
is there some software that does the same with the Startmenu as Wisbar Advance? WA just bogs the device down too much, and I just loved that menu...
I like SmallMenu:

Looks nice, I'll try that, thanks...
Vijay, thx for the Small Menu tip! I too loved the functionality of WisBar Advance, but it was bringing my Cingular 8125 to a crawl, now I have cascading menus at least.
I noticed your screenshot and the Calendar|Contacts softkeys menu bar missing and the larger start bar w/ notifications, and wondered if that was the results of your uber programming skills. So I did a little investigation on the forums, and fournd out that of course it is. I'm guessing that VJToggleToday is still in alpha stage for WM5 judging by your latest post. I will try this out as soon as I get home (forgot my USB sync cable today) but I was wondering if the WM5 version of ToggleToday takes the place of both ToggleNew and ToggleStart for earlier version, and does it work in landscape?
And by the way, thank you for the great utilities you've already developed for the PocketPC, you're very a proficient and talented developer.
zoetrope - hey, thanks for that!
I'm currently on hiatus, Mrs Vijay555 recently popped out the little subversion, and so I'm getting used to his own copious releases.
However, yes, the screenshot is showing a very early screenshot of my PhoneAlarm skin (and custom SideX skin, right hand side, 4 little dots), and the old WM2003 ToggleStart etc.
However, I've just moved the skin over to WM5 yesterday, and VJToggleTodayII alpha is working well on my Mio A701 and other WM5 devices. Yes, it replaces both the old apps.
The functionality of the alpha is pretty much fine, I need to implement tray hiding, but I'm still deciding whether to go for a route to make a bigger, more bells and whistles app, or keep it simple and cleave it into two different apps.
Don't forget, VJToggleToday II can be configured by launching with the "-config" command line.
If you want more one handed usage, I also use VJOkButt to replace the Close Button etc.

Hello.
Im going to get my brand new Wizard tomorrow, Im really excited
Well, what to do when I get it? Update the OS? What "must-have" apps should I install?
Overclocking?
Remove any standard apps that steal performance?
Where can I find apps to this device?
Im relly newbie at this, only had an Motorola A925 with Symbian before, as much tips as possible would be fine. If this question been asked before please link it to me.
// Mikke!
It really depends on what exactly you want to do with it. Here's a quick list of apps I can't live without though:
PocketBreeze http://www.sbsh.net
iLauncher http://www.sbsh.net
Cash Organizer http://www.inesoft.com
Voice Command http://www.microsoft.com
Mapopolis http://www.mapopolis.com <-- For GPS usage
Total Commander (don't have a link handy)
Resco Explorer http://www.resco.net
I'm also running a "clean" ROM, with a few Cingular customizations installed. My extended ROM is completely blank, so I'm just picking and choosing what I need. Also a variety of reg hacks have been done as well.
Good luck with the new device! Make sure you're reading here a couple of weeks before doing anything to the ROM.
Cheers!
anyone? Going to get it tomorrow, so help me please
Mikke,
There are many threads on this.
Best thing to do is think about how you want to use your device, and configure it from there.
sk0t's apps are a very good start - remember, the main things you want to configure are the Today screen (the first screen you see, something like your desktop on your pc), and then the apps that run on top of the phone.
The more 3rd party apps you run, the more impact they have on performance, so keep them reasonable.
This is a good thread to start with, but there are many others:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57930&highlight=
This is a nice setup:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46855&highlight=
You will have to decide if you want to run Wisbar to dramatically change your Today screen. It's beautiful, but uses a lot of memory.
I can't use a PocketPC without PhoneAlarm. Other people like PocketZen.
If you want a good indication of some great software, check out the PocketPC Mag awards. I'm judging the awards, so they must be great :wink: (btw, check out their Best of collection: over $3000 of software for less then 1/10 of the price. PM me if you want it at an even better reduced price, or a free trial issue of the Magazine :shock

I would like to add a couple of large icons to my today screen to start a couple of programs i use in my car (mainly pocket player). Pocket player does have a today plugin, but its to small to hit when i am driving.
I have tried stuff like iLauncher etc, but i dont need all the extra functionality and find them to fiddly on the small screen. They also slow it down for me. I have resco explorer but the icon are to small and cant see a way to make them bigger (as big as the battery/storage icons).
I just want the most basic 'no frills' app that simply puts large icons on the today screen, nothing else.
Can anyone recommend anything?
I like claunch.

I don't think this forum is hardly the place to be advertising where you can get PDA software for free that you should be paying for. A lot of these users are software developers that SELL their software on the internet and some offer it as FREEWARE. There's a difference. I suppose you've also found cracks for Pocket Plus on the Internet, too??
To give newbie2's post context, I should add that stinkie pointed towards a popular p2p network as a means of getting this software. Now we all know how to use p2p, but I'm not going to endorse it as a way to take money from developers who might well be members of this board.
I'm not one to talk when it comes to intellectual property theft, since if t'were not for said half inching, I'd be a mental pauper, but still, let's try to keep the board as clean as we can.
Assassination contracts, prostitution, that's all fine, but no piracy if poss, m'kay?

Does Anyone have tweaks from any forum which will stop all running programs once they are closed. As if we forget the stop them through Memory> Running Programs> Stop. If there is a tweak and we put it in the registry for good then we can get good speed of the PPC and also use minimum battery. If we forget the battery gets worn in 6 to 8 hours only. If not minimum 12 hours max 18 hrs.
Please reply if someone knows anything in any forum to support this.
sbp pocketplus is the key :wink:
O2+
spb pocketplus is by far the best program you can get for a windows mobile device. it allows you to close programs with the close button as well as navigate through the open programs by "shift clicking" the close button.
no windows mobile user should be without any/all of the spb programs. spb makes windows mobile run how it should and microsoft should pull their fingers out and upgrade windows mobile to incorporate spb features. as usual though microsoft is happy to sell us second rate under finished products.
spb isn't the best. it's "eat" too much memory and too slow. maby you don't know other programs, for example ilouncher, magic button etc.?

It is possible to uninstall some pocket plus components you don't use. I strip it down to the componentes I often use !
A good combination is dinarsoft handyswitcher, batti and mcube safemode.
no it's impossible. only "all in one bottle"

And what features it has?
I've installed it and made XP after it. Not very fast, rather nice look (TouchFlo 3.0 build 31508). A lot of storage -- 133Mb!!! Only a few applications, so free storage is 125.9Mb (MS Office cut to Excel, PPoint and Word)
BUT free memory just after start is 43.4 Mb, after a little work - 38 Mb. Where is the memory?!
I think it's not my choice, thank you.
Good job !
It is working fine for me, indeed lots of storage memory and other mem is bit on the low side but still fast enough... im using the newest radio 1.59.44.02
camera and gps working and i have an extreme good and clean connection !
Bluetooth is working, Wifi is working, Volumecontrol is working,
although 1 thing is strange, on the right screenshot it says rom date: 12/11 but on my phone it says 12/05 while the rest looks the same....
probably a cookers thing to update their own phone every day

The dialer in the rom does not have video call support, however you can install a video call capable dialer and it should work fine. There are a few floating around as cab files that are easily installed.
