Yeah the size of pocketplus along with the fact it seemed to slow my universal down.
Re games:
Gamebox Solitaire my favourite, but also have:
Also have Age of Empires
Concentrix (Like Tetris but with circles)
G-Prime (Like Galaxian)
Invasion (Like Space Invaders)
Jewel Hunter (Like Boulderdash)
Personality Pro ( Asks loads of question to reveal your type of personality)
Pocket Sudoku
Shanghai (Mahjongg)
SimCity 2000
SkyForce (ShMUp)
Tower Mogul (Manage an apartment block)
Transport Tycoon Deluxe (Doesnt quite work yet - waiting for the next update)
Warring Nations VGA
Zuma
Have Licences for (But dont work with WM5 or universal):
Candy Train (Puzzle game of turning sections of railroad)
Cropped Out (Match three or more the same to remove shapes)
G-Pod (Collect a pod and traverse caverns to escape with it)(No button remapping - impossible to play)
Odyssey (ShMUp)
Rayman Ultimate (No Button remapping - Gutted as not playable)
Matt
here's mine:
1.Wisbar advance(i like the look)
2.ILauncher (smaller than pocketplus + other featus covered by other programs)
3.pocket breeze ( i can see my appointments and task on the today sceen plus i can add other today utilities)
4.Weather panel (i like the look )
5. gprs monitor
i installed all the above to the extended rom (thanks to buzz)
6.TCPMP
7.Cash Organizer
8.opera (better than pie, builtin tabbed browinsing and better webpage view. could use a little speed upgrade though, and the ability to scroll using stylus and be able to save images.)
9.pocket rar(cant live without it
10. flexi mail formerly webis mail
11. scicalc (standard calculator replacement)
12. total commander
games (i don't have much)
1.arvale 2 & 1 (rpg)
2.hexacto tennis
3.text twist
well it seems like im the only one putting up with pocket plus, i will have to do a full backup and hard reset and try and install the programs you are all using instead of pocket Plus features.
Opera- i have been interested in using this as i think PIE is very feature-less, but i have been worried about the size of the install, do you know how much resouces it takes up installing and running?
1) Pocket Informant - superb
2) Batti - does what it's supposed to do
OT slightly, is there a general consensus on the best Alarm Clock (pref with maximise to full screen option/screen buttons) for the Exec?
Thx.
Here is my list.
VJToggleTodayII alpha0.1.5 (to hide top & bottom bar for real estate for today screen).
PWSLauncher (to see power & ram status without wasting any space)
HandySwitcher (closing task)
HandyMenu (easy access of utilities like reset, today..etc)
filedlgchgs (to allow save/open to folders 2 or 3 levels down)
Caldendar + (calendar plug-in)
Tasks+ Today plug-in (plug-in)
Oxios (to free memory)
Birthdays (to remind important dates)
Jab1a,
I don't know how much memory opera consumes but i think it depends on the website. the merrier the web site the more it consumes memory (i think ).
ok Slaughter, thats good enough for me, i will try it out when i get a chance.
Im still looking for a game that can realy show off the ability of our Universal?
I used to have Batti on but I found my exec crashed every night while it was on charge (I've got the latest exec ROM on which to be honest, I find pretty unstable)
The main thing I would miss about pocket plus would be the close button menu thing - I've got it set so I can tap and hold on a close button a bring up a menu of what's running.
I know magic button does this but it screws up the display slighly and\or uses non-VGA graphics which I don't like.
Is there a way around this as I also find pocket plus to be a bit bloaty and slow...

Hi,
Not sure what you mean by screws the display?
I use magic button, but dont show the task bar (the program icons) unless needing to switch apps quickly - and havent had any issues.
Matt
I believe what LordSmith meant was Magic Button shows a small blank square on the right upper corner where the "x" or close botton appears when you open an application, if you have for example a gray colored menu bar or task bar. My solution for this is just simply stay away from the gray color and use sky blue or the default windows blue color. Aside from that Magic Button is great and shows all my running apps nicely.

No wonder
No wonder most of guys in here think their JJ is slow!!!! :wink:
All i use for day2day use is SPB, and i think it is too much though.
I use PIE, Email, Sync, Excel, WinWord, Tasks, Calendar,
Basically all the available options, and i don't (IMHO) think i need all these extra stuff.
just my 2 cents

Here's my list:
Wisbar Advance (Vista mobile skin)
SPB Diary (Using SPB Weather as add-in)
TCPMP (and the AAC plugin)
Resco Explorer (Today plugin, Registry plugin and the FTP add-in)
Alfa & Ariss SecureW2 Client (when i'm at school and need wifi )
Bluetooth tray icon thingy
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.

Thanks again for a great heads up.

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.

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 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.

Resco Explorer w reg editor (everyone needs this)
1-calc
Conduits Pocket Player
Ringo (ringtone Manager)
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):

LOL!
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.
because we all have different needs for applications and programs on our phones, i was curious to see what everyone has installed and uses most often on your HD2. i myself haven't done much installing, but what i DO have proves to be extremely useful. here's my list and what each program does:
palringo - multi protocol IM program, i had this when i had an HD1...love it
facebook 1.1.0.17 - a deent update to the og app, use this over touch.facebook.com now...
shazam - recognizes nearly any song playing when allowing your phone to 'listen'.
bsb tweaks - many useful tweaks
total commander - use it for registry things and as a better file explorer
gui:
co0kie's home tab - love the 4x4 quick links and the amount you can have
mini hd2 lock screen - haven't tried s2u2 yet, but this is simple and clean
that's about all i have for now. interested to see what other apps, games, and gui tweaks everyone else has. screenshots would be nice, too, if you have them.

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634951 to get finger friendly TCPMP, and after installing it go to options and change setting under video to GDI and under orientation change it to left handed. Tap screen for full screen landscape.
