hi, i am getting my HTC wizard, hopefuly, tomorrow morning. can you tell me if there are any things, apps ect i should instal/do on my new wizard?? cheers, matt
A few things:
- Get something to make the OK/Close button *actually close* things rather than just minimise them. Various apps including vBar, Magic Button, etc. I use Smartskey by Water: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060
- Get a free registry editor (I use PHM Registry Editor), & have a look on this forum for different tweaks to do. Or, get a free tweaking app, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 . Or a paid-for tweak app, like tweaks2k2.
- Get a nice big 2GB miniSD card.
- Get TCPMP media player, handles divx, xvid, & more. http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
- Get PocketDivxEncoder for your PC, to shrink videos down to PDA size http://divx.ppccool.com/
- Get a launcher app, like SBSH's iLauncher, or SPB's Pocket Plus. I use iLauncher.
- Get something to replace the crappy buit-in Calendar & Tasks plug-ins on the Today screen, like SBSH's Pocketbreeze.
- Have a general search of this forum for stuff.
1) purchase and install [or have someone install] a screen protector
2) purchase a better case [optional]
3) purchase a better stylus [optional]
4) purchase a memory card [go big if you intend to use the wiz as your media device]
5) if it doesn't have the latest ROM update it.
6) download AS and sync with your desktop/notebook.
7) browse over the manual for some info.
8) install software to improve your experience. install only what you need and will be using.
9) when you have it setup and synced do a backup
10) ENJOY!
- Make a Rom Upgrade to 2.1x (can't say it often enough :lol: ) for more speed and stability
- Brando Display Protector
- 2GB MiniSD
- ActiveSync 4.1 or newer (i think v 4.0 is delivered, it's realy sh**)
- register mail2web live service for free hosted exchange
- WMStorage for using the Wizard as a USB Stick on Computer w/o activesync
- TomTom 5 for Navigation
- Bluetooth GPS Mouse for Navigation
- If you are a network freak, you need vxutil

firstmost and absolutely - get a backup app. SPB Backup, Sunnysoft backup, Sprite Backup are some of your options there. Quite possibly one of the first things you'll want to get - do a backup right after you set things up the way you like them (and installed maybe a few apps), so you can always go back to that clean slate without having to re-enter/tweak everything after a hard reset (hopefully you'll never have to, but odds are that you will). After that, regular backups to help protect your data.
Edit: actually - check what ROM is on it, check what ROMs are available, and upgrade to the latest (unless there's good reason not to) - or your 'clean slate' backup is going to be pointless after the ROM upgrade
Does voiding the warranty constitute a good reason?

Just to be clear - Upgrading an O2 Mini S with the latest O2 ROM won't void the warranty. Likewise for other flavours. This is jolly good thing to do.
Unlocking your O2 Mini S and flashing a, say, iMate ROM would.
Sorry to point out the bleedin obvious.
Wait, I don't think summitters' test ROM's (which is what I thought was being referred to) would be included. I'm sure that would void any Cingular or HTC warranty.
Woah nice thread especially WMStorage tip.
Getting mine today Cudo!
So I've started a top ten things to do WHEN I receive it !!!!
>>>
Hopefully I'll be able to "flash my ROM" ( I love that saying!).
Currently it is on T-mobile, but I want to use my PAYG o2 SIM.
Then I'd like to find my wifi home network and surf the net
I've already got a 1g mem card, so will try that
Will try to copy my tomtom files to the new mem card and test that?
Will order a screen protector
Will text all my m8s, just to show off
Will put me Nokia 3230 on eBay
Will look for a new case asI don't want the T mobile branding on it
(Any ideas ??????)
Finally I will continue to look and read posts on here and not forget to thank everybody for their help!
Cheers,
Scutter

i also got my on sunday, my 1st ppc.
how would i overclock?
and how do i turn it into a GPS/
thanks
Do a search for omap :lol:
And get Sling Box Mobile. Of course you will need your own SlingBox or have access to a friends.
This will allow you to watch cable tv on your phone with the unlimited data plan.
What kind of screen protector is the correct type? What about a link to a decent case too?
Do you guys keep your wizards in a case or just keep it hanging around in your pockets? Worried about damaging the thing but getting it out of the case to answer a call is a tad annoying.
install Smartskey
install DKToday for keeping track of your free minutes and sms counts.
install AEBlus button mapper for more functionality of the buttons

The best Screen Protector in the markt is "EXiM" there are two types of it, one is "Ultra Clear" and the other is "Ultra Protect".
I purchased "EXiM Ultra Protect" and it kicks the Brando's butt :lol:
Once after you install it, you won't notice it, and when you use your stylus to write, you can feel that you are writing on a paper.
I got mine from an Online Shop in Germany, here is the website http://www.nexave.de/displayschutzfolien/

Hi,
I just bought the Qtek S200 ( It has Windoes mobile 6 professional on board ).
When I play mp4 Videoclips they get stucked and are not liquid. How do I have to encode them ( I have encoded the 320 x 240, but what bit rate........) ?
Is there a way to overclock the prozessor?
There is touchflo on board, but what is this and how do I use it?
Thank you in Advance;-)
The Prophet only has a 195Mhz CPU you will be lucky to get any 320x240 H264/MP4 video to play smooth.
You can overclock it but i dont think you will be able to clock it enough for smooth playback. Try XviD or DivX.
Play with the formating a bit, I got mine to play pretty smooth in full screen.
And how do I activate the touchflo? I only have the option to enable sound for scrolling, but nothing else.
Another question - has anyone found a IR remote control Programm that works with the xda Neo? Vito remote for Windows mobile 6 does not support the processor.
Another question - is there a good programm available to read pdf Files? Adobe Avrobat does not work for me. I click on the Icon, but nothing happens.
Please, anyone?

These questions seem pretty unrelated...
To activate TouchFlo, slide your finger from the top bar (with the windows icon on it) to the bottom of the screen.
I don't have an IR Program as I don't use it, but I'm sure there are some somewhere.
Adobe Reader LE works fine for me. What ROM are you using? Attached are the files for Adobe Reader. Copy them across to your device and then run the exe in the folder.
Thank you for your help
I have tried the english version of Adobe and it worked for me-the german one does not work.
I was frustrated, because Touchflo did not work for me so I installed Spb Monile shell. Now Mobile shell opens for me when I slide from the top bar.
I have Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1948 (Build 18548.0.7.2) german Version - is this the rom version? Sorry, but I am totally new ( but happy ) with my Qtek S200
What is the name of the ROM for example: Coffie roms (ENG/DAN/NOR/SVE/NLR/FRA/GER/ITA/PTG/ESN/PLK)
Try downloading Adobe Reader from here (select the german version): http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_mobile.html and installing it.
I think my Rom Version is shadow series cloudyfa.
Rom Version: 5.2.19.48 WWE
Rom Datum: 7/10/06
Funkempfängerversion: 02.07.20
Protokoll Version: 413.1.03
ExtTOM version: ShadoW 1.0 GER
I have another question: I tried some simcards and now I have all the contacts in my Qtek. I tried to delete them, but when I hold my stylus a few seconds on the contact there is an option to delete the contact, but it is only grey and I can not choose it. How do I delete contacts? Is the only solution via outlook on my desktop PC? That would be dissapointing.
Are they stored on your device, or on the SIM card?
On the device, you should be able to delete them through the normal contacts application. To delete SIM Contacts, you must use SIM Manager (it might be called SIM Toolkit) and delete them through that.
Thank you for you quick answer.
I have no Sim card inside the Qtek now. All the contacts were copied automatically to the qtek. I tried everything, but when I open a contact and mark it, I can not choose to delete it.
Is there another application that I have to install?
No. The built in software should be able to delete contacts.
In the contacts, click and hold on a contact (don't load it) and see if you can delete it there.
--or--
Load a contact. Tap menu, then select delete.
Thank you for your answer again
I did as you said: When I click and hold on a contact, there are the options send contact, copy contact, delete contact......., but I can only choose send contact. Delete contact or copy contact are grey, so I can not choose this option.
When I load the contact and choose Menu, I can only choose save contact.
I am confused, because I have so many contacts, but I van not delete them.
By the way, do you know if the technissin 4GB SD card silver will work with my qtek, because I wouls like to by it.
SD (no HC) should work. SDHC cards up to 4GB should also work but may need a driver.
I think that these contacts are not stored on your phone as you can save them... Try saving one and then see if you can delete it.
I am really confused. I can save a contact when I open it, but then I have two contacts. I can delete only the saved one - the other remains on the qtek when I go to contacts. Does that mean that each time I put a simcard inside the qtek it automatically copies them to the phone and then they remain there without any option to delete them? That is very strange :-(
By the way - I have no Simcard inside it now. I only tried some simcards to test the telephone feature.
Hey guys,
It's me yet again, I've got some more questions I'm not sure if I should split some for the other forum area or not. Either way, let's start. Note that I'm migrating from a Nokia N95 so ignore my lack of knowledge I'm trying .
1. What programs would you guys suggest for sending text messages from my HD to another phone via my laptop, bluetooth or USB are good, Nokia PC Suite had something for this but I've not found anything for WinMo.
2. I'm used to having a the ease of changing my profiles so my ring tones and what-not for different situations normally at will, WinMo does this very differently is there a program that I can use to just pick say 'Work' and it goes to vibrate?
3. Is there a newer version of the Opera mobile? I'd like to update it as it think it has a few bugs.
4. My contacts are Sur, For how do I change this for all contacts? I have far too many to change them all by hand.
Sorry about the length and thanks again.
For such a large forum it amazes me that hardly anyone posts to my topics.

Yep - you can download the Cab for DDrivers 15 Tab TF3D changer for HD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450278
This allows you to have 15 tabs on the bottom of the screen - one of which is a profile manager. There are loads of applications out there which also do a profile manager and can also do it for time of day etc.

One way is to use Outlook or Outlook express and import your settings from your Nokia to this. Then update what you require in Outlook - surname/first name or vice versa (means you can use the keyboard and mouse). Then connect your device to the computer and update contacts through active sync.
Or get a different contacts program: Something like this:

Thank you very much .
I've installed the Outlook add-on and look forward to using it. What other profile programs would you suggest as I'd like to ring and vibrate at the same time or just vibrate but with the ability to listen to music (vibrate turns off sound WTF?).
Also which is newer the Opera beta or the Opera on the forums? I'm a bit confused as to which to use ...
Lastly will these contacts programs replace the HTC variation or simply add my changes to the HTC version? I rather stick to the inbuilt one as my main contact storage.

Yeah - bit of a pain that one. I use S2U2 and S2P
http://www.ac-s2.com/
- this allows me to set different levels for the volume of the ring and the audio. You can do this on the standard volume control on the HD by clicking the top tab but I prefer the S2U2 version where you see both volume levels in the same window.
You have to go into the settings of S2U2 and turn volume control ON under the phone settings.
If you don't like the S2U2 thing there are loads of other apps with volume control settings. Think of your phone as a phone and a music player hence 2 controls! S2P = Slide to Play. Is a bit like the iphone's music player - get the open GL version as it is better for touch HD.
Also which is newer the Opera beta or the Opera on the forums? I'm a bit confused as to which to use ...

Hard to say - the beta may be newer but will have issues with stability (hence beta as it is not a real release and intended for testing). Best to find someone on the forums who has a stable version. I'll have a look but so far mines kinda still got issues.

It will replace it. May have to bite the bullet and go into outlook or sort them individually. Good thing is - once you've done it - it's done. I spent an hour sorting mine in Outlook but I'm glad I did as it now means I have a very tidy contacts list in both applications and they are synchronised together - so if my phone/outlook lose data I can just put it back again. Plus outlook can backup the settings to a .PST file or to excel etc for importing to other programs and computers.
Main thing is. So long as you have backed up your contacts you can always put them back on your device the way you like em!
Hope this helps? If you need more help just ask - I'll do my best.....
Sorry missed a bit....
A large number of people use SPB as their profile tool.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/
May be able to find it on this site for testing but if you like it you should buy it.
I'm sure there are loads out there just have to go through and install some and then take them off is they don't work as you like.
Good thing about the phone is if you think you've messed your phone up you can do a Hard Reset which boots the phone back to how you got it when you first turned it on!
Look at this page for some good ideas and tips
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
Thanks for your help.
Can SPB Mobile Shell be used with TouchFLO3D? I enjoy using the interface so not looking to change any time soon.
Thanks about looking into Opera for me, I've seen a version posted round January but that's it.
No SPB Mobile Shell cant be used with TF3D. Or actually TF3D cant be used with SPB Mobile shell. You can technically keep TF3D running, and then use SecondToday software to add a second today screen that is easily accessible by tapping one of the 2 bottom soft keys. I have this very setup. I have mobile shell and pocket plus as my main today screen, and SPB Diary and SPB Insight as a second today screen. This allows me to have SPB Diary as a full screen as it starts at the very top and ends when it ends (at 300 because thats SPB's max alignment).
For profile auto switching, try Inesoft Phone. It can coexist with TF3D.
Agree with everything above.
Should have asked you - What issues are you having with Opera?
This will help me to troubleshoot for you as it may be options.
Thanks for your help again guys.
Inesoft Phone seems a bit slow and I can't seem to find out how to delete some of the profiles as well as release the contacts (I only wanted the profile application NOT the others).
Regarding Opera it's mainly because the keyboard seems to type very slowly on webpages, the URL bar and stuff is fine it's only when typing say a username or password on a website that it has problems.

Can't say that happens on mine - Have search XDA-Dev forums and also Google and some people report it is a bit slow and have tried using Opera Mini.
It may be worth doing a post specifically for this as someone will be able to help (hopefully)
Personally I'd stick with Opera mobile, I used Opera Mini on my N95 once, it was good but the power of Opera mobile is still by far the best in regards to mobile internet experience. If anyone finds a newer version of Opera please send it my way .
Just to point out that I'm still looking for a profile application, Inephone installs the Address Book which I don't want. I've recently enjoyed using SSMaPa so I suggest it for anyone who needs it.
Thanks for your help again guys.
Any more suggestions?
i just get my htc touch diamond original in malaysia with touch3d ver 1.1.34571.0_1630.38. my diamond is new with original softwares.Previously i used symbian smart phone. But i found some trouble when i use win mobile because i do not understand it well.
i have a few question, i will be glad if seniors in this forum can help me.
my questions...
1)my touch diamond have only 80++mb for my device, remain 3.2gb is internal storage.i found problem when i install software because the message said not enough space. so can i install the software on "internal storage"? or can i do a new partition that make my device 1gb?
2)how to use .cab files?
3)if certain software that come in .rar @ .zip format, how to install in my diamond? (just extract it in paste into the diamond or have to install using active snyc?)
4) my original set come with activesnyc cd, but can only work with window xp, but my os is win vista....how to solve it?
5) i found that my diamond is damn slow, i found the forum " List of Diamond Tweaks " that can increase the performance of the diamond, but i can't found registry editor in my diamond.
6)the g sensor seem very great, but actually how to use it?(i only found it work in opera browser, how to use it in games likes need for speed undercover?)
7)the footprint add-on, i like to have it on my diamond. it is ok to work on my touch diamond?
8)the gps softwares, the pda shop give me the QuickGPS. but how about other like Papago , copilot n navitel?actually how it works?
9)i saw the new touch diamond2's ui, with is better than the one in touch diamond1. can i install the diamond2 ui into diamond1?(worried about it because the RAM n ROM in diamond 1 is smaller than diamond2, screen size also smaller)
thank you very much for reading my post.
Ok, welcome and use the search button up ther that it will solve almost all your future doubts...for now, i'll tell you what i know.
1)YOu can install the softwares on the internal storage, but not the "System" ones, like Opera, Touchflow 3d and others. You will see, if you install it and it doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it on the device
2)Just tranfer than into the memory (any, storage or phone) and click the file on the phone.
3)Extract it on your computer, if it's a cab, do step 2. If it's a folder with an "EXE" file, double click it. If it says "not a valid win32 aplication", just transfer to the memory and execute the "exe" through the phone explorer. If it's a windows installer, connect your phone through the activesync and install it.
4) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx
5) There is no built-in, download and install the PHM Registry editor or TaskManager or any other. This is my personal favorite: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmanager.shtml
6)The first one is my favorite:

7)Can't say, never used it.
8)On my diamond i have Igo 8 (http://www.igomyway.eu/product_4.html) and works perfect, just like a Gps-only tool. I also know that some others like Destinator and TOMTOM work really well.
9)Not yet finished, but it's being ported:

Well, if you do official HTC update from their site with your own S/N you'll not loose your warranty. In my opnion cooked rooms are better, but i won't tell wich one. That depends on the programs you like and how you like your diamond, is really personal and it's a "Forbiden" discussion here. It's up to you to read the posts and see if it's worth it a try.
If you have any more doubts, you can PM me for opnions, but i don't think this thread is a good place to discuss this, cause the matter already been discussed several times.
As you see the title! Please put some apps for HD2!
Thanks a LOT
Appreciate it!!
Wifi remote access for file transfers (if you have wifi in the house) because it's faster than a usb cable.
The newest version of the facebook app from MS marketplace
Pimbackup
dutty's task manager
I have more but they aren't for day to day use (except for maybe coreplayer but that's not free). Also search for tips and tweaks and have a read.
+1 Wifi Remote Access
G-Remote ($9) if you watch TV/video through your PC and want an ace remote control
TCMPMP Video Player (free) - so you can just drop videos straight on to your phone (like Divx and Xvid) and play them straight off (or CorePlayer but it's $30)
AlReader2 - The BEST ebook-reader bar none
Google Maps (obviously)
TomTom or iGo (both paid) are both great GPS navigators
FPSECE (I've not tried it since it came out of beta) which, for $10, gives you a frickin' PLAYSTATION on your phone!!!
MyPlayer (free) is the WM iPlayer equivalent - plus other freeview channels and live TV (assuming you're UK)
And down the line, consider looking at how to flash ROMs etc. if you want more tabs/newer features/better speed and stability (if you choose the right ROM!)
There's a Torch application (free) which uses your flash as an emergency torch - very bright and very handy!
Oh, and Windows MyPhone is (imo) the best way to back-up contacts, texts, etc.
Lastly, need a game for the bus? Try Experiment 13 - it's free and the graphics/physics are great!
Oh, and want to replace the basic mp3 player? Try S2P, very colourful, and fast to navigate, very similar to the iphone music player if you've seen that - although it's just left beta and is now $4 (although probably an old version about)
---
All of these are findable on XDA. Finally, welcome to the forum!!
Hrs of fun ahead

I happen to know that there are some major issues with cookies home tab 1.8. Don't you think recommending a piece of know buggy software (no matter how good previous versions were) is a bit reckless?

There seem to be serveral crash bugs in it, major slow down issues and from what i can gather it's a bit of a mess. All the custom rom threads are on fire with request for 1.7 cabs (fools should have kept backups) and declarations of wishing to wait till 1.8.1
Personally i think sense is perfectly fine for my needs. It just need s kick in the butt to make it faster when it's after it's first boot.

I've not had no problems with cookies 1.8. I think it actually runs much smoother and is far more customizable than previous versions, no issues so far from a mess, anyways he was asking for opinions on apps & I gave mine
I like Bing for movie times. It also has turn-by-turn directions. Map-wise, I think Google Maps looks better, but Bing is a far sleeker application.
No issues from 1.8 for me... But let's keep this thread on track for our newbie friend, right?
To newbie : Cookie's Home Tab is a fantastic modification to your homepage, which provides you with many more shrtocuts on your homepage and tons of other configurations (such as a music player, task-list etc), but as you can see, the latest version may be buggy. Previous versions are stable as anything tho.
Thanks!
Thank you all for your quick responses!! LovE YA ALLLL!
i think everyone forgot to mention office mobile 2010 and i forgot to mention the following:
Leo Cpu speed
Chainfire's 3D driver patch
BSB tweaks
SRS wowhd 2.1
myriad java
vncviewer
And if you like gaming and a bit of nostalgia try out fpsece. It's a playstation emulator
just about to type BSB tweaks and saw the post above..
Fpsece - a must
skyfire - for browsing flash sites like tvcatchup.com
xda shutdown - handy for a quick reset
HDWalls - full screen wallpaper
JWMD icon changer - change all icons in start menu etc.
LeoCPU speed
world cup app - www.mobilepractices.com
Scilors Groove Mobile/Downloader - stream or download any tune
G-Alarm - not free but very good alarm app
mem maid or SKTools - to clean up your HD2
my Player - great bbc iplayer and live TV app (in the UK)
Sky - (if you've got a sky box you can remote record)
Games....
Mini Golf Wacky Worlds
SPB Puzzle
Experiment 13
Pool Rebel
Ivy the Kiwi
Morphgear
Fpsece (so good I put it in twice!)
that should keep you going for a bit!
if your gonna suggest the world cup application then i'll suggest the F1 live timing application. Watching the canadian grand prix on sunday with it was amazing.
My essentials are:
1. Dial-up Enabler/Disabler
2. NETCFv35
3. RegEdit
4. Remote Tracker (with MyMobiler on the PC)
5. SPB TV
6. WunderRadio
7. Total Commander
Navi: MN7
Other: GPS Weather Radar, mobiPocket Reader with Wikipedia (2008)
Works fine alltogether!

Hello All, thanks for this thread, very useful. One question, what is the right regeditor?
I have used TCM, but can't figure out how to import reg keys (tweaks exported to save effort next time I hard reset). PHM regeditor seems to have the import keys greyed out. Mobile registry editor and Tascal seem to import files, but the keys don't actually change. Am I just a n00b and missing something?
Figured it out, simply copy the reg file into the registry root. TCM does it all then!
i use remote desktop client to log onto my pc im suprised more people dont use it as often as i do to control their pc its so easy to set up
all u got to do is right click my computer, properties and enable remote connections from there.
then when ur on your own wifi just connect to the pc's hostname or ip.
forward port 3389 on ur router to your desktop pc and you can do it over the internet too by connecting to your external ip / hostname
i use it a lot to do stuff i cant do on my phone, also if i want to download something when im out i can set it and it will be done when i get home etc
.........
i also play emulators and just installed as many tower defense games as i could find.
tomtom and igo... both installed to memory card and the shortcuts are set up to reinstall when i flash. the settings DO save, but i have addresses set in my contacts anyway and tomtom has the feature to look up from your addressbook
i use torch on my shortcuts, but a different one that doesnt have a user interface its just on and off.
i have my brightnesses (both) set to dimmest, and i have the app autobacklight as a shortcut so i can switch between dark and auto (which is always bright enough). its usually on auto unless im in a dark environment. 1 click dim mode lol
batti is another good one. there are lots of programs like batti that let you put your battery level accross the top of the screen, but batti is the best to me because it lets you customise the colours perfectly so you can match it to whatever colour theme you got going on or just have it how you want it.
i used to use s2u2 because you could change the background randomly and show lots of appointments on the main screen. and read texts check missed called etc. dont even have to unlock your phone half the time...
i just installed omarket and that has unlocked a lot for me. you should def do that. i had to make an account on the website but it was worth the hassle.
metaldetector is a great app. so wierd how it actually works.
i have various guitar tuners, im still looking for the best one though...
lmt is another good one that basically makes your phone way more useable. i dont use all the features, but its still added a lot to the way i can use the phone
i read some pdf's on my phone now that it doesnt take ages to render pages...
ive used wififofum in the past, i should have that on my phone now really its v useful when you wanna see all the networks around you.
msn to chat once in a while
mostly been using energyrom

the most common way is to plug your hd2 into your pc via usb.
then copy the files you have downloaded (usually its .cab) and paste them onto your phones sd card storage (via my computer)
then unplug your phone from the pc
then on your phone, use file explorer to find the cabs and run them. that will install it.
then to run it, find it in the start menu...
as for what to install first, system stuff.
but really, if you install a rom you will wipe all your data, but dont worry about flashing and roms yet, just try out different apps and customisations you like while you pick it all up.
i install things like s2u2 first (lockscreen app) when ive set my phone up i use it for a while before i install the next thing, so that if a problem pops up its usually because of the last thing you installed/modified.
read a lot of stuff. dont worry if it doesnt make sense at first.
After you install all those recomended applications above,try a keyboard called Swype,your head will hit the roof with amazement!! so be careful.
