I am wondering what apps/games you really really reccomend that are essential. Like an essential Today launcher is iLauncher, an essential application is voice command, and an essential game is marble worlds.
just list them, i really need to know. thanks.
- Batti. Get a good look at the battery status in the wizard. [freeware]
- Birthday. Get ur contacts birthdays in today screen with age etc. [freeware]
- SPB ToPlay. Play WMP playlist from today screen. very simple apps. too bad doesn't support shuffle option. [shareware?]
- TCPMP. Divx player for windows mobile. [freeware]
- InClose Mobile. Best task manager I've seen to date. Switch to tasks. Close All, Turn off screen (cool for listining to music), landscape switch without sliding open keyboard. and other features. [freeware]
- E-TEN Dialer Vista skin. Cool dialer skin apps (unfortunately only English compatible and u lose smardial if u use it. [freeware]
- BatteryStatus. Overclocking the wizard in one simple touch, also continues overclocking. [freeware]
Most of the software can be found via Google or search the forum.
Cheers,
Shah
I use a few, but the must have's for me are;
Opera - PIE just can't handle java script as well and it has faster page rendering and tabs.
TomTom - The best GPS software.
Conduits Pocket Player - The best MP3 player, gapless playback, streaming, great format support and plugins. I dont think there is a better music player for WM5.
TCPMP - The best video player but dont use it much now i have a PSP.
iLauncher - Today program launcher. The MDA does not have the resolution or screen real estate for the clutter other today plugins make IMO. I only use it to launch TomTom, Pocket Player and Memory Map when i am driving.
inClose - Like magic button, but better, more options and has never crashed like MB always did for me.
Resco Explorer - The best file management app by far. If you own a WM5 device, it should be illegal to not have it.
Memmaid - Cleans up temp files, caches and registry. Not without it's fault, but there is nothing else that can really do what it does as far as i know.
Voice Command - Great for voice activation but when the hell are they going to update it for bluetooth and reading text/emails?
here are mine
iLauncher - Today launcher
PocketBreeze - Today launcher
Voice Command - Voice activation?
Magic Button - Closes applications (freeware)
Marble Worlds - Great Game (similar to marble maddness on NES)
Virtual Pool Mobile - Pool hustling simulater
OmapClock - overclocking
Pope Battery Status - displays battery status at top (made by somebody in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21699&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
(except it does have 2 problems, you can't turn it off without uninstalling it, and it shows up on every page, not just the today screen... bad during movies).

On the HS850, the gateway closes if you push the button. But pushing the button again reopens it. So it just takes two pushes to activate VC--one to open the gateway and one for VC. It's usable on the Motorola.

If you use latest version of WM5Newmenu (version 2.0.0 beta) happened to me the same but solution is easy..
Create a shortcut like this in which folder you like
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -To ""
Don't forget the quotation marks and create a new menu Item and point the shourtcut you have created. And If you just want to check mail in the background (won't popup the email client screen) shourtcut is like this
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -Sync
:wink:
Thats great, thanks for that. I used the paramaters option in Newmenu rather than create a lnk file, but it still works fine.
Much appreciated.
Glad to help you , sure it works without a shortcut but I am used to create a shortcut for to use as a today item too. :wink:
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

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.

I thought this would be a good place to keep a collection of those apps which are not available on mainstream PDA sites but are actually freeware.. just not well known.
For e.g.:
MenuKeyHelper (lets you use softkeys in old apps with the wm2003 menus)
FileExplorerExtension (adds functionality to built in explorer)
http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Cupertino/2039/
GSFinder for wm5 (softkey support for wm5)
http://www.geocities.jp/gsfinder_wm5/
JUCrab (allows you to place a menu for your soft keys on today screen, i find this useful as it allows me to quickly launch settings/shortcuts/new sms kind of things).
http://aimakidechi.hp.infoseek.co.jp/jasjar/0070_create_apps/JUcrab.html
Vijay tools are ofcourse great.
PocketAge is good but I can already get tabs from spb diary.
HButton, smartskey etc are available on these forums anyway..
Anyone know any other gems?
must have app's
batterystatus (to overclock your wizard)
x-button (closses programs for real
startclean (cleans memory after reset)
total commander (file explorer, also usable for registry)

I have also been looking for good apps for my Touch. I don’t want to install and remove tones of apps and clutter up my Touch. But if there are apps out there that really shine I would love it if people would post it. Perhaps we can turn this thread into a comprehensive list of great apps for the Touch?
I know we can find these apps by searching but maybe we can turn this thred into a one-stop shopping center for the best Touch apps along with URL’s of where to get them? Maybe even screen shots?
I love Google Maps. Very slick and useful. If you have the $7/month unlimited data package from Bell Mobility (apparently Telus has something similar) then download Google Maps.

It's a keyboard. I love it and can't live without it now.
I currently have:

HTC Home customizer

Windows live search
opera mobile (trial)
Documents to go (trial)
HTC Audio Manager
KeySwop

I would also recommend getting invisibleshield for the touch to protect it.
Here are some of the critical software that I cannot live without.
Ultimate Launch

Schap's Adv config
MS Voice Command 1.6 (modded to announce calls over BT)
A few other custom tidbits
It took a little work, but now, my phone puts an iphone to shame! WOOHOO!
Apps
Cant forget about shogunmark Threaded SMS, also cube config
SPB Pocket Plus is on my UC lineup. I love how it adds the extra 'hold' button mapping feature to all ur buttons (great on my Kaiser, but the Vogue only has one button?!?!) Also, the tabbed plug-in feature for PIE is a must have!
Yes, Advanced Config. is a necessity too but it won't let me map 'long press send key' or 'long press end key,' whatsup with that? I am running v2.1.
Has anybody been able to map those keys? The Vogue doesn't have that many buttons and it'd be great if we could get the most out of them. I was able to map them on my Kaiser, which had more button options than I could imagine.
I would give a vote for the best soft kb I've tried: ftpro
From the developer's site (www.fingertouchpro.com):
"""
What makes Fingertouch the BEST? Video tutorials
Fingertouch PRO has 5 layouts (5 keyboards in 1)!
It offers FAST Text Input using our patented technologies!
Comes with fT9 Technology, T9 improved system!
It supports multiple languages including Russian (Cyrillic) or Greek!

The keyboard size can be changed, including FULLSCREEN!

I don't even use half of these now.
Softs
At first, i was pretty scared to try some softs, but now, i try'em, and delete them if they dont do the job.
A couple of month ago, i knew nothing of Mobiles powered devices and now, gosh, thanks to some months of learning in these forums, i tweak my device a lot!
THANKS XDA, you made me HAPPY
Stupid question, but are these apps easy to install and remove? do i need to use my pc or do i just download them from the phone itself? are the majority of them free?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I'm about to get my HD2, and I've been trying to track down a list of recommended apps for the handset. I've seen all the tweaks listed on XDA and so on, but I was looking for something more in the way of programs that would enable a better experience on the HD2. For a brand new phone, what would be recommended? Some I've picked up already, such BSB Tweaks, but what else could ppeople suggest?
Thanks!
David
Hi!
One thing in upfront. Please be gentle to your new beloved HD2 ;-)
You can use search and in the theme and application thread but here is some I use and don't wanna miss on my HD2 in future....
Resco File explorer (best explorer ever)
Core Player
Skyfire (for embedded flahs)
SPB Backup
Nimbuzz / Skype
BSBTweak as you said...
TomTom
Cheers,
LEE
hi Lee, i,m not brilliant with this sort of thing, where do I find Tom Tom and how do I apply it to my phone, hope you can help me
cheers aby
Hi there,
Thanks for your reply. What is a good program for doing the registry tweaks? I know Resco can do it, but what are the other options? What is a good program for backing up and restoring Data? What other suggestions do users have for a new phone?
Thanks!

Alternative to Resco Registry wourld be PHMRegEdit (free) but Resco is really a musthave !!!
For Backups i recommend SPB Backup (Best one in my opinion). Full Backups, PIM-Backups, Self-selected Backups etc etc
Rather than ask for random lists of 'best programs' you would be better using your new HD2 for a while and then seeing what you would like to add.
There are many thousands of programs out there, and there is probably no software class or profession that isn't catered for in some way.
As the previous posters have said, a good backup program (Spb or Sprite, with Spb being the better one at present), a better file manager (Resco or TotalCommander), a better media player (Coreplayer), an automated profile switcher (SBSH Phoneweaver) etc, etc.
But, try it 1st, out of the box. It may well do all you need
I´ve got TOMTOM 7, Torch (flashlight) and the most cool things is clear backgrounds, so that i can see my wallpaper better.
Searching: Core Player, Need 4 Speed, and a guide to use total comander.

Cool! I didn't know about that one.
At work, I have my phone connected all the time - and I always thought it would be great to be able to control it from the computer.
Can you also type your SMSes with computer keyboard?
total commander, pocket rar,pim backup are also very handy.
Hi all, thanks again for all your help. Just got my new HD2 now - it's sitting in its box - I can't wait to open it!

Yeah - mouse and keyboard control the phone on the PC. It's very handy indeed!
