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:
Ok...
I currently have the Alltel PPC6800. Magnificant device. (in my opinion) It's loaded with all kinds of goodies and as a facility manager, recreational tinker'er and hobbyist, I have my phone well equipped to make it operate smoothly and still utilize it for task managing and fun stuff.
So I was curious as to what everyone else had on their device's in respect to their lifestyle, work habits fun likes and device compatiability...
Here is the list on my device running Custel's V1.1 Rom:
HTC Home Plugin - Large Clock display/Organizer from Touch
HTC Home Customizer - Customizes Home Plugin
HTC Dialer - Optional Dialer from Touch
HTC Audio Manager - Optional Media Alternative from Touch
HTC 10 Button CommManager - Optional Comm from Touch
HTCustom - Another Customizer
Office Mobile - Stock
Windows Live - Removed
Voice Dial - Removed
AutoUpdate - Removed
TaskMgr - Task & Application Management tool
TCPMP - Needed for You Tube'ing videos
TCPMP Plugin V0.4.2 - Needed for You Tube'ing videos
Skunkworks VideoBundle - Needed for You Tube'ing videos
PCM Keyboard - Optional Touch Keyboard
Total Commander - Optional Registry Editor
SKTools 3.1 - PPC Cleaner, File Management & Registry Tool
Pocket Plus 4.0 - Today Plugin Organizer
Flashlite 2.1 - Allows for various animations, etc
Macromedia - Allows for various animations, etc
Touchflo V1.4.1 - Touch UI
TouchfloConfig - Configures TouchFlo on/off, gestures, etc
Google Maps 2.0 - Terrific Mapping Application
TouchPadVibrate - Vibrates Dial pad When Dialing
MS Voice Command 1.6 - Voice/BT Voice Command Application
This sum's the very accumulation of what I have compiled that works with each other, is stable with VERY little memory leak and allows for exceptional battery life (1-1/2 days) with about ~1 hr Internet/~1-2 hrs voice/~1-2 hours application running per day.
What does everyone else have?
I used to use the TCPMP and flash plugin for youtube videos, but I found a nice piece of software, that is much better, its called vtap, just type vtap.com in IE on your phone, and install it. It has a really easy to use interface, and searches more than just youtube (all kinds of sites). Much better than youtube and TCPMP. Plus you can show off your phone, saying it can do things just like the iphone.
So I will not need Videobundle, TCPMP Core or TCPMP Plugin?
**Update**
I downloaded and I like it! I was able to remove the other three and althought it may take a little load, it searches and plays wonderfully. Thanks for the lead!
Interesting concept but the quality is severely inferioir to tcpmp. This looks like it was designed to stream on a MUCH slower connection. Running the original flash video with TCPMP flash bundle is much clearer.
I have been playing with the Vtap for a while and while the interface is really nice and easy to use, I agree with what Dishe said in that it may have been designed to stream on a slower connection. TCPMP loads faster, has less interruption and has many more settings.
But I will watch this product as it develops more as i am always looking for an alternative to TCPMP.
To get off Vtap, if you like Google Maps/MS Live Search type tools, try out Yahoo GO 2.0. Slick interface, Navteq maps and decent flickr interface.
Hey guys,
I'm new around here and I just got myself a P4000 from Telus (Mogul equivalent). I've seen many apps and while it's all personal in the end, I'd like to know what you guys have to suggest as in apps and games for a PDA user.
As we speak, I have those installed:
HTC Home
cody battery tweak
TCPMP - Still have to figure out how to use it for streaming...
HTC Streaming - Can't Make Youtube work
Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX
HTC X-Button
Google Maps
Thanks for sharing.
LiveSearch (the voice recognition is the bomb)...way better than Google Maps as it does so much more.
HTC Home was a memory hog for me. I ditched it.
WeatherPanel
HTC Task Manager
S2U2
Threaded SMS
PocketCM
Actually, I'm keeping HTC Home for the Weather but it seems I'll have to check WeatherPanel.
Also, would you guys mind giving a short description of what an applications does? This way, I and other people looking at this can learn and pick what's good for them! Thanks
Hallo,
I'm new here, in 5 days i get my htc p3600 and i don't have any software for it , so i want you to ask with software is a must have for this device.
i need something for weather , navigation, music player, skins .....
thanks
Here is a single piece of software that does it all, better email, music player, skins for everything, maps, it may even make you a taco!
ALL GREAT THINGS!!
i already use the search but i don't know even the name of the software
Hi [email protected]@,
Here's a short list of all you should get for your Trin, if you're the one I think you are ;-)
- MobileShell 2.1 + patch to make it your today + skins
- PocketCM Contacts 0.25 + PocketCM Keyboard
- Schaps' advanced settings
- A_C's S2U2, S2V and S2P
- Tomtom 7 + maps
- Estermec Java JBED
- Opera mini 4.1 + patch to make it default browser
That should fill some gaps already.

I had to switch to the Ozone from the Alltel Palm Treo Pro in order to make a change to my rate plan. Much faster phone than the Treo Pro. There are a few setbacks.
Let's see, what do I have installed?
Microsoft's Bing App
Facebook App
Google Maps
Youtube App
Thinking about Skyfire or Opera Mini
CHome Configuration (can't edit new panels... bummer)
I got my yahoo, gmail, & hotmail accounts synced with no problems.
I'd like to find a new alarm clock. Being able to create new documents would be sweet too.
Good phone. WinMo 6.5 could make it better.

Weather watcher is what I use, you have to use Chome Config to create a custom panel for it if you want the weather on your home screen though

Can you give us new users instructions/link on how setup WW as a panel?
I also tried to use NRG's mini Chome Weather. It works fine on the Ozone, but I can not get it to work with the HTC panels.

I didn't do anything special. Just installed NRG Mini Chome Weather 1.3 + Monitor HTC Version.cab and chose the appropriate Home Screen layout. Awesome app, I love it. Much better than HTCWeather.
My problem is when I try to modify NRG's Home Screen to add the HTC Panels, they simply don't show up. Chome Config shows them as active, just not there. I'm assuming we need an updated version to work with updated HTC Panels on the Ozone.

i ran into the same issue with NRG's weather.
i guess we're just gonna have to wait and see whats produced..
i need a FREE real calendar for the maple the one that you see like a real calendar not no bs thats on the phone
