Here you go!
Looks useful. Very quick to load and easy to use. Though I love PocketCM, it sometimes gets frustrating trying to select a contact.
Is the attached cab file a demo?

The cab on - is fully functional, but time-limited.
The cab I posted is straight from the above website.
I really like this software, but I cannot find anywhere on your site to buy a license.

Though I was expecting it to be about $10 when released, if you actually use it, and compare it to what's around, you'll find it's worth every penny/pence/shilling/etc of the amount now being charged.
And I don't even use the GPS function. The "contact search and use" function kicks all others out there arses IMO. And then factor in its speed and very small memory footprint, and you have what some consider the best custom WM app of the year.
Is the cab a trial so we can test it 1st and for how many days? Thanks.

Because the author has turned greedy and is using this post as free advertising instead of paying for a spot on xda-developers like all the other ADVERTISERS of commercial software do.
Your website does not display option 5 (Purchase) in FireFox which is why I couldn't find it.
$14.99 for this app? ahahaahaa
VGA ??
Quite expensive for an app without VGA-Support
Compare it e.g. with the VITO-App (link below, $9.95) or PocketCM (free)

For Jahnotto - it is all about making profit !!
Well, her is the cab file for version 1.00 beta 2 - from the time when it was a non-profit projekt, and it deserved its place on "Development and Hacking".
After beta 2, came the beta 3 - that supposedly also was just an improvement in the GPS area. But after installing it, a new change have been added - because suddenly a new menu appears with "Manage license".
So one take advantage of all the alpha, and beta testers - for the sole purpose of profit.
My comment:
At first, this started out as a hobby project. I intended to make a better contact app for myself and posted about it here on xda-developers. It turned out that lots of people loved it, and thus I spent far more time than expected on doing development.
As I spent more and more time, I decided to charge a modest sum for it. You can hardly get a meal for $14.99. That way, I can defend spending even more time on making it even better.
If you don't like it, don't use it. If it's too expensive for you, don't buy it. But please respect my time, my efforts and don't spread beta versions with bugs in it. You're just making problems for those who are using it. It's a reason why there were two more betas after beta 2.
Beta 2 works great.
I was trying to find the best games or apps for wm5 or 6 that are freeware.
Any suggestions? And the most helpful would be a free p2p program. I found winmobile but it costs 20 dollars and I would rather use a freeware alternative if possible. Thanks

um, for freeware programs use http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ it has some really good stuff. check it out
http://www.freecabs.de/ is formatted to browse from your phone. German-hosted site in English. Good mix of free for life and trial-ware.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ sikol121 already mentioned it, though...but it bears repeating.
http://www.freewareppc.com/ Very current.
http://www.modaco.com/ make sure what you download is made for your PPC.
http://www.pdagold.com/ Czech site, very current.
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/ I like this site a lot for its ratings by the author. Site can be sorted by rating, allowing you to ignore a lot of drek software.
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=58687 This is just one amazing (although somewhat dated) list of software for phones. Not all freeware, mind you.
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_top/bestsites.asp A somewhat dated list of websites catering to PPCs.
As to the question of what's best, that isn't a question people like to tackle. What I like best are things that pack a lot of function, and freeware is usually the world of the one-trick pony. I have selectively used a great deal of freeware, but if it's a unitasker, I usually look for something else that does the job along with a few other jobs I need done. That may not be how you define best, so my advice is try stuff, and if you don't like it, delete it.
P2P
http://www3.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/research/projects/siemens-mopi/
This site is a research portal for a project that's attempting to port eMule over to ppc protocols. It's interesting, but they don't have any downloads from the front page, so I doubt that anything happened.
P2P isn't really friendly to PPCs. All that data xfer would really wear out the battery fast. Easily as fast or faster than calling people. Also, even with an SD chip, you're limited to 2GB of storage, so it's not like you're downloading movies, or more than a dozen albums. Not sure why you'd want this functionality in a PPC.

MOD EDIT: The site you posted is a WAREZ site. This is a breach of forum rules.
I have also removed the link to "Cracked" software in your signature. WAREZ is the enemy of the developer and we are a site that promotes development.
hello,
i was hoping to get some help on disassembling windows mobile applications and infoormation about the tools i need to patch them, etc.
i have the windows mobile emulator setup and i am experienced with x86 reverse engineering, i would love to start hacking windows mobile apps now...
any help/links appreciated.
i will use this information only for learning purposes.
no replies...
does nobodt know or is it against the rules to tell me.
im sorry if its against the rules... mods can close this thread if it is.
no warez in this forum, hacking shareware/comercial apps is considered warez too. also u asked the wrong question.
He didn't ask if he could HAVE the software, but information as to what he needs. He could be wanting to buy the software for all we know. That's not a warez issue, me thinks.
Not to be an arse, but if hacking commercial apps is considered warez, then why has the Mobile Shell thread reached 90+ pages?
I think if you purchase a program and would like to hack it to allow customization then what is the big deal?
Besides, how is this ANY differn't then disasembling Windows Mobile and cooking it on our phones - I doubt MANY of us have the official version of windows on our phone!
dissasm is taking a bin file and making it into asm == the instruction mnemonics
the lowest form of code
some other tools can then make it or try to make it into readable c++ code
one needs alot of skills to do anything with the pure asm
and even portet back to c++ it's in horrid sematics as few of those translaters do a good
code struct job
it's not illegal in itself unless the ULA of the program state that it is which most comercial apps does

the mobile shell thread has 90+ pages and all... but noone haked the program... the program (as is) has not been altered in any way... just the graphics that the program uses
IDA will disassemble winmo exe files.
and i dont think this thread is against the rules because you dont specify what program/s you want to disassemble. for all we know,you want to disassemble free open source programs .
...hacking doesnt mean malicious intent. If he wanted to "hack" a registry code he would be cracking. Hacking means taking things about, figuring out how they work, putting them back together to work better, etc.
The term was originally coined to refer to the programmers that sat there and "hacked away" at the keyboard to create a program.
I will point out it is used to mean malicious intent these days, albeit incorrectly.

Someone "hacked" the password to get to those graphics now didn't they?
By no means am I faulting what has been done. I have enjoyed many hours of MS customization over the past month, and appreciated your help on many occasions pcarvalho.
If we speak so, then.... changing graphics in an app is already a hacking. You just don't understand this word, and go away from this thread, please.
As someone earlier replied, IDA Pro is capable of disassembling binaries for almost every processor

hi, please post the mobile shell thread url. i tried to search but only ended up with spb mobile shell. thanks in advance.
I think SPB Mobile Shell is what they where referring to...
Ok... I know I'm not one of the elite here, but I've been a PPC Admin creating custom ROMs with kitchens for a number of devices for the last 4-5 years. I love this site and everyone here has done an excellent job developing for our devices, but its time we organize this site to make it easy for noobs to get involved in our world. The big problem I see when I try to help people get into WinMo is that its really hard for them to find the right apps and previews of what is possible to do. The biggest complaint I have from friends who use this site is that there are often different threads for the same app and often they download the older version by mistake. I also see what happens to developers like A_C who have their apps ripped off and sold as a "bundle of freeware apps". Its wrong and I'd hate to see him or any of the other developers not get credit for their hard work.
So here is what I'm proposing... Why don't we create an app store right here where free and for pay apps can conveniently and easily be searched and organized. We could even setup rss feeds for the different applications so people could be notified when a new version or even a update to the thread has occurred. I know Microsoft is coming out with their app store, but come on. when have they gotten anything right for a community at this level of capability right at the start?
Either way.. I think it would be a great idea for us to build this and expand the Win Mo community. Thanks everyone for your hard work.
Feel free to comment.
Using RSS from a new sub-forum that XDA could setup would allow a dev to pull the threads and information. If they're formatted properly before submitted to the App Store forum, the first post in the thread could be App's description and preview including any youtube previews. The second post would have the cab file.
There would also be a string of text in the first post which would define device compatibilities so Raphael users don't try and download Kaiser specific software and vice-versa
A pre-approval process would take place in a seperate forum and PPC veterans and forum senior members could assist in evaluating the posts as well as the software?
I see a more community based solution in this idea. Very nice. BUT.. will it happen? I'm no longer in the programming side of the biz, but if someone could come up with an app that would take the RSS from a forum, I could setup a test forum on a site I run just for proof of concept. Anyone interested?
Sounds like a great idea! I think a forum isnt the best solution for the matter but at least there would be some kind of order...
(App2Date support for more programs would be helpful then as well)
I only say forum because this database is already in place, easily tweaked (I run a few vBulletin sites so I know how easy it can be) and the authors can update their applications easily without having to reinvent the wheel from the ground up. With the proper required fields we could easily organize everything nicely
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488610
okay that sounds better.. im not experimenting with forums much
is is possible to filter things then? i cant really picture it
when i look for an app i always download all available of a kind (e.g. 5 minesweeper) and in the end not even 1 works ^^

why not have 3 more...
i think before u can update ur apps u first need 2 download them... and in order to do that u need to find them first and thats what this thread is mainly about
have u ever heard about apple app store? its not about selling devices whatsoever but to FIND SOFTWARE (easily)
Yep, there are a few being built already, but maybe a more "Official" one would get more development and community support?
Here's another one too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471576
I'd really like to see one of these Appstore ideas to also track UI customizations. I can't tell you the number of hours I've spent reading through hundreds of posts to find the perfect SPB Mobile Shell UI... lol.
I have tried all of the above mentioned 'portals' and I use DeviceUpdate, but it's the same 97 or 98 apps! This would be a direct tie-in to this site. Developers could submit their apps to the community for approval and they'd be moved into the proper section of the app 'vault' and would instantly be available in the Mobile Application which would generate its list via a direct RSS of the App Vault forum..
Why create a new database and userbase when XDA's is already so huge?
I second, third and forth this request. XDA dev's deserve a store for app releases and use the forum as a dev/feedback forum.. Vbulletin can only do so much... If revenue sharing is the major hurdle I would hope the webmaster can work out an agreement with the devs who want to submit apps. Another hurdle could potentially be copyright infringements.. Unofficial ROM's and other promoted/sold "clone-apps" could bring unwanted publicity to the site. This simple chaotic forum might be the perfect element to keep XDA under the corporate radar and safe from hungry lawyers.

I disagree that 'vbulletin can only do so much'.. XDA-Developers.com even uses a basic 'stock' theme.. this site isn't customized very much and is a very basic implementation of the software. An app on the phones that pull the information from a sub forum of this site could load up previews, videos and the download links. If you want to add in 'dontation' links, that's also possible, but I think that's better left to PCs.
I agree that staying 'under the radar' is essential, but being able to access all of the software that can greatly improve your device from anywhere at a moments notice is key... I'm currently browsing to a forum on my phone to get a piece of software and it's taking at least 3 minutes to do it when I can get there in less than 10 seconds on the PC.. put this stuff in an app and I won't even need the PC other than to find the dev and discussion threads....
I see vBulletin in a different light from just a chat enabler.. but it might be because I know the back end so well.

All valid points, but if the webmaster has no desire to expand this sites complexity, who are we to say add this n that when we are typing on a yellow/brown forum with minimal VB enhancements (no knock to XDA ).
What I see working is XDA allow a spin-off site which is the visual/functional app paradise we all crave.. The alter ego of Cydia and the evil empire. All discussion/dev related questions feed to their respective XDA threads. XDA mods can then port the data to XDA-apps when they feel the release is deemed safe. Developers who want more press/ad exposure pony up $$, and can then charge for more fully functioning software... I dont think anyone doesn't want an app store, its will you get official XDA muscle behind it?
There's a way to charge for threads, so if people want to sell the apps, they need to buy a premium spot for it on the XDA App listing.. *boom!* XDA is interested!
If a spin-off site is required, then that's cool, I'd be really interested in assisting with it. It would be possible to use the same user database.
Thanks everyone for opening feedback on this topic. I think we should look further into finding a way to make this happen. Any volunteers? l3it3r and Norkoastal have done a good job in taking the lead on this so far. How do you feel about making it happen Norkoastal andl3it3r's?
I would recommend getting some official support from XDA before beginning to compile resources for this effort. I really think there should be input from the owner/mods here who want to see this happen, & also get their take on maintaining the upkeep of this proposed rollout. I would be glad to throw my two pesos in, but wouldn't want to step on any toes or other efforts already in process, namely gecko..
I will be releasing a new more complete version of this very soon. Its a freewarepocketpc.net client working off the existing database online.
That's sweet! I use fwppc all the time because it's easy to navigate on the phone. I still think that XDA is the #1 name in Windows mobile development and that we could truly shine, but what if we were able to come up with a publicly agreed standard for thread creation down to the descriptions and layouts. Could you tie in an RSS feed from an XDA forum into that?
That's exactly what I was thinking l3it3r. A standardization for this site that is just setup for apps. If rss feeds were tied into it anyone could build an app that could go out and find the latest updates for their subscribed applications. Noobs wouldn't know about the applications used for downloading apps, but would know generally how to view a web forum. Its all about making it easier for the noobs to get interested in exploring the capabilities of WM and not to intimidate them. A good standardization of the layout would go a long way to expanding the user base and increase interest in our work.
What do you guys think?
With all things considered, I think it is better if this is done as a separate site as Napbree has done for finger friendly apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380748).
So if any legal issues should arise or site adjustments/enhancements that needs to be made, it can be dealt independently from XDA. This also can bring apps from other places into attention that isn't developed within XDA.

Look for a webite called olivetree and look for a program called Biblereader for Windows Mobile. Some of the stuff on the website is free and some isn't. Look for a section called free items along the top of the page. There are around 150+ programs free to download.
I've been using this software since I had a nokia N95 several years ago. Highly recommend it.
BibleReader from Olivetree works on the Rhodium, this is what I use with AT&T Tilt 2.

Pocket e-Sword has some interesting issues with WM 6.5 & WVGA. It takes some playing, but you can get it working pretty nicely. Olivetree is good & has lots of free resources (along with some excellent paid tools). I've also heard Laridian's Bible app works well -- although, from what I've seen, none of it is free. There's also a free "finger friendly" Bible app being developed in the WM Apps & Games forum, here, that works pretty well for reading & following sermon passages -- not enough there, yet to use it as a study tool.
