Im tired of trying out appz for my Universal and finding out they are of no use. And the recommendations here run in 100's of threads.
Could you please, (in the following order) state your:
1. ROM version
2. Favourite Tweaks
3. Favourite Appz
4. Favourite Skin
and possibly
5. A screenshot of your today screen.
Thank You, Im sure alot of people will find this useful as reocurring applications and skins will often mean useful for others.
Greatly appreciated.
put some effort in and read the existing forums, your right, there are hundreds, so why would we want to do it all again.

This forum has a lot of information and a lot of input and applications and downloads. I recently started coming here a few weeks ago and little by little have gotten through quite a few threads and downloaded some amazing stuff. However, it's been difficult at best and quite slow and tedious and I know there is still lots of stuff I'm missing.
What I was thinking is how it would be great if we had one unified post that summarized and organized some of the most popular applications that are available here. Something like:
Best Music Players
--HTC Audio manager
--Mort Player
--etc.
Best Browser
--Opera Mini
--Picsel
--Skyfire
--etc.
Best locking program
--S2U2
--etc.
and so on, with the download links next to them. This would make referencing certain applications easy to find and download for all from various threads. With a few people in charge to moderate the thread, updates could easily be done as people post as they arrive or to alert others and then subsequently deleted.
I'm not sure if this has been brought up or attempted before, but I wanted to throw it out there. Please feel free to close or lock this thread if necesssary mods.
I would also add that some polls could be set up initially to identify some of these key applications to set up a "standard" list of applications that most users here should at least be familiar with and/or have on their devices.
Thanks and hope this idea helps out others if it's put forth.
Chain Fire's WMWIFI ROUTER
Slither's HTC CUBE Clone ( flash version )
Slither's HTC Cube ( C++ version )
Throttle Launcher
will add more later

Sorry, but before this thread becomes very crowded and yet another "must have" list that gets lost in the realms of the web: Wouldn't it be better to do this in the XDA-Wiki?
Here's a good starting point.
A sticky hint might be a good idea, though, you've got to scroll the Wiki main page for a while to find it...

Thank you. That's exactly the type of format I'm looking for. I didn't want everyone to just come and start posting their favorite programs but instead to have ONE post that combined them all. I just don't know enough of them and haven't been around long enough to even begin to compile it.
That wiki page looks great. I just hope someone that has a little time and the desire to do this could pull it off. I just don't have either nor the knowledge to put out something that would be helpful. Thanks for the reply.
best tweaker
schaps config tool
Nice looking interface - Wisbar Advance Desktop
Best theme bars and text color changer:
RC Mod v.2.1 by o3blig
We should have official polls on what are the best apps for each category.
That way, the best of the best will show themselves and those who are not yet enlightened, WILL be.
It will also clear up arguments and let popularity decide.

Agreed. Should be in general.

Agreed, red the wiki link above. Each person wants different apps to suit their needs so it is up to what you want!!
Thanks for the answers guys.
I guess part of my question was around what apps people felt that they could not live without. Reading through I know some folks like the ability to have multiple home screens etc.
But will check out the wiki!
Here are some "must-have" apps for your new HD. (my opinion)
1. HD Tweak
2. Advanced Configuration Tool
3. Pocket Mechanic
4. CorePlayer
5. Resco File Explorer
6. Sprite Terminator
7. Sprite Backup
Thread closed by request.
There seem to be enough "my favourite this and that" Threads around.
This can be seen by some as information pollution for Search Engines.
(it's actually a fact that it is information)
So that is why this thread is being closed, due to redundancy and no direct imrpovement of Development support.
Hi all,
I inherited an old Orange SPV m500, and found this forum while searching for a way to unlock it from Orange. It worked and was very helpful, so you have my thanks for that!
Then I see all this skinning business and I would love to customise the phone a bit more; there's several things I'd like to do including installing a bigger dialler, a better 'homepage', etc, etc. So I went ahead and installed what seemed to be the latest ROM I could use (the WWE_O3 Cottula rom, which is the last one with a working camera from the looks of it - I need the camera). That's all fine and dandy and worked nicely (although it often tells me I've just inserted a memory card when I haven't).
However, all this extra software is an absolute mystery. It's all circular references which isn't helped by the lack of clear English (no offence, I know it's not everybody's mother tongue). I simply can't seem to find a start point that explains what software does what, how to install it, etc. All the threads seem to assume that you already know the software and what it does. Even the 'wiki' for the magician is limited to descriptions of upgrading the ROM. JMLToday Touchflo Manilla 3d 2d etc. etc.
I don't have a very modern device, so I don't expect to be able to install all of the latest whizzbangs on it, and to be honest I don't need a huge bundle of features, but I'd love to make my phone easier and faster to use and I know you guys have put huge effort into software to do just that. I just can't figure out what I need or how to go about getting it.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to the forum xobby. First of all xda-developers is mainly a technical forum to help in upgrading and tweaking your device. There may be threads involving applications but , like you said, it's not very organized. So the first thing you have to do is use the search function to look for what you are looking for. If you can't find anything then you might ask nicely from the members in the forum for help. If you are looking for specific applications then there are other sites that is more suited for searching for applications.
I would suggest that you do a general search of the internet for programs, skins, etc that you would like to install in your unit and where to download them. It requires a lot of searching and looking I know but that is just the way it is.
Good luck!
By the way. Since you upgraded to WM6.1 by Cotulla, you will have no problem installing almost all of the newest applications available for windows mobile the same as those for the newer more expensive phones.

Thanks very much for the advice!
Please excuse me for not knowing the proper terminology for my question, but I'll try to make things understandable.
I'm using shadowline's titanium only ROM (most recent build). I'm trying to figure out how to remove "pictures" and "music" titles / links from the home screen, but apparently I'm not smart enough to figure this little task out.
I did search for topics that address this question, but without knowing the associated terminology, searching can be quite cumbersome.
Can somebody point me in the right direction please?
Thank you!
I don't use Titanium, but they are called "Panels" and there should be a program around here for adding and removing panels.
Its best to ask in your ROM thread.
In the standard WM6.1 ROM that shipped on my D2, I can go across to Settings tab, then select Customise Tabs. I can then choose which tabs I want to display.
Hey folks, quick question. I tried to read up on this but there is SO much information that I can't seem to get a good direction to start in.
I would like to make a market app, to change battery icons to what I have created. I would also like to make them compatible with most roms if possible and foremost, I would like the app to make a backup file within the app so users can flash back their old icons at any time and choose from different colors I have to offer.
I have read through this guide and looked at this as well. Is there something more streamlined to be able to do what I want to do or is the first guide sufficient enough? Thanks in advance, any help or input would be appreciated
I'm pretty sure to change the battery icon you need to have root access.
I would suggest having a look at the theming section of the forum, because what you wan't is what they are doing there, replacing stock icons/images and styles with custom ones.
I think there are even apps or programs to flash the themes for you
