somebody may think it's quake2
somebody may think it's bluetooth tools
asking what the best in general is like asking whats the best pc program or the best movie and book and .......

I'm looking for a plugin/app that can run as a quick-dialler for last few numbers called/received calls from.
The only plugin I’ve been able to find with anything like this is phoneAlarm by pocked max, but the rest of the functions I'm not finding that useful and having such a powerful tool on my home screen for one tool seems overkill.
So can anyone suggest a plugin or app that can do this?
thinking abou it the only thing I would like that phonealarm has is the ability to show if bluetooth is enabled/diabled
anyone got any ideas?
Hi.
How about Redial, a nice little piece of freeware, also from pocketMax?!

Thank you for the link, I had overlooked that on the pocketmax pages
From some trial and error I managed to find a way to get a few more megs of ram available for everyday use.
First and foremost, when disabling the Phoneskin on a WM5 device makes a big difference, disables the phonepad dial and speeds up the device. Still, by looking within the services running, the I noticed that the PhonePad dll files are still registered in memory and taking up space even if the skin is actually disabled.
Thus removing the HKLM/SERVICES/PhonePad key freed up some extra RAM.
I suggest making a copy of the key if you ever need to use the PhonePad later.
After a reset the PDA should have a few more megs ram available
Let me know of how much ram it freed up for you
Hey eman,
What exactly is the phone pad? The soft keypad in the phone application that mimics a regular phone pad? Seems right, I'm just double checking.
Cheers.
No difference for me. Also I was still able to dial numbers on the regular phone pad so I cannot see what this registry is about?...
yeah what does this do? do u mean u cant se the telephone on screen pad??
I think it means that instead of loading the phone operator's skin for the phone it uses the default one from HTC. I had disabled the operator skin a while back but I'm trying this now.
First of all this is a well-known hack for a long time. If somebody need it look after it in this forum.
This hack just turns out the customisable graphical dialler skin but you have left the original HTC dialpad which you can see always when you enter your pin-code if your SIM-card needs it when you turn it on.
And yes, it is true, that it gives us some free megabytes to the RAM, but it has to be noticed that after this hack you have to forget the video-call function, because this is a skin-related function.
I've been using this hack since I bought my universal. It worths for me.
I have usually from 21MB to 27MB RAM without soft reset with installed lots of application and I can increase it when it is lower with 'refresh today'-function and Oxios Hibernate (the earlier version, because it is faster without the screen note) application.
So, if in your country video calling is not a famous service you should activate this hack.
Oxios Hibernate
Would you share the old Oxios version or can you post a valid link? I couldn't locate it on the net.
What tool do you use to refresh the today screen? SK, Mortscript or something standalone?
Thanks

There is 1.4 version now. I suggest to use an earlier version, because this new is more complicated, and when you push the shortcut you created, the execution takes a bit longer than with that previous version, and it writes to screen in a small window the released memory which is unneccessary, because all of us are using a today meter for memory i'm sure. So that was enough in the version i use just pushing the shortcut and receiving more memory without anything to do.
I refresh todayscreen with Dinarsoft HandyMenu.

free memory
Is memorymaid the kind of application, or am i wrong?
none memory difference detected
hiya
getting a t-mobile w'n'walk for £42 a month, phone for free. Good deal
So whats the first thing, apart from changing the today's screen should i do
whats the programs you think are essential?
just to let you know I'm more a web browser, texter sort of person
ta for all ya help and opinion much appreciated ;-)
ps: how do i get the smiley in the actual msg? and how do i record my phone, rom details at the bottom
That's a tough one, everyone is so individual in what they want, what they find irritating in the initial set up, what they like and how much they want to spend.
Personally the first thing I always want to know on my device is that all programs are closed down when I think they are, how much battery I have left, and how much storage room I have. So, my first install is usually a task manager with the above. Personally I use Spb Pocket Plus, which also gives me memory/power indicators, task manager, PIE additions, safe mode and program shortcuts. But, you can find free applications that do all these things. Ilauncher is another good one, but that's not free either.
My second install is something to show me, on my today screen very efficiently my diary, contacts, messages, birthdays, notes, tasks etc. Two good ones are Spb Diary and SBSH Pocket Breeze. These are not free, but to me they are essential.
After that, I would think most people would install a 'proper' diary program like Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion, or recently Agendaone. These make using the diary easier and give you sometimes more options than on Outlook!
After that, it's up to you, most people have a book reader eg Mobipocket or Ereader, a input tool eg Calligrapher, Fitaly or Tengo.
Maybe a phone profile manager eg Phonealarm.
The choice is endless. Make sure that you use the x days of free trial with each application to make sure it works for you correctly on your device and it does what you want.
Most important have fun
thanks
thats a useful list
i have a program on my P910i called phone secure
if i lost it and someone try to put in another sim card it sends a msg to a designated number and locks the phone
does pocket pc have something like that
I have seen something like that, it's quite recent. Best thing is to look on the software sites eg Handango, PocketGear, Mobihand. I'm sure they have something like that.
I must concur with marrisa4755. Start with spb, and see how you like it. It'll give you a good clue as to what is out there, and it's my software of choice. Also, look for Resco Explorer as your file browser. It's apparently the best file browser.
By the way, have a look at the spb unithemes. very nice, and you get them free if you register!
Don't forget to check out my app reviews here at the General forum either - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256
phone secure
hiya

thanks for all the advise
oohh just found this on
its called Eye on the Theif Pocket PC from Mobihand

Install everything you think you might need and everthing people tell you you can't live without...
... then after a month of problems, slowness, hangs and conflicts do a hard reset and install nothing!
IMHO
PSS ... no!
Phone Security System has a problem: First data connection works, but if you disconnect or you get a phone call you will not be able to connect again until re-boot.
So beware. Develooper did not fix this so far... I was using a registered version...
And it took me 3 days to find out. Erro message will be "APN cannot be found", where APN in my case is "web.vodafone.de". Have fun...
When my computer haven't no much free ram, i tap "ctrl+alt+canc" and i delete all useless process...
Can someone do a program to do the same thing on diamond?
I tried SKTools, but it make 2% ram free only...
