POCKET HACK
Features
Control the speed of your processor
Save your favorite speeds so they can be accessed quickly
Easily change the speed from the today screen
View which processes are running
Get a view of the processor load in real-time
Control the speed of your CPU
Pocket Hack Master allows you to change the default speed at which your Pocket PC's processor runs. Make the processor run faster to speed up the operation of your device, or turn it down to increase battery life (the faster a processor runs, the more battery power it uses).
When you first run Pocket Hack Master, you run a series of tests on the device to work out which speeds your processor will support. Once this has been done, pick which speeds are your favorites, and they will be available at the touch of a button to change at will.
Use the CPU load screen to find how much processor speed your favorite applications are using, to work out what processor speed you want to use as your favorite.
Use the process viewer to find out which programs are running in the background on your Pocket PC.
Pocket Hack Master runs in the background, so you can quickly change the speed of the processor from the today screen with just a tap!
WARNING: Overclocking (increasing your processor speeds) can make some devices unstable and can lead to loss of data on the device. Always backup your data before using an untested speed. Some devices overclock better than others and therefore support different highest speeds.

dialer skin for wm5 ....enjoy
It supports Smart Dial?
Thanks Navjot for such a quick response.
However, before installing this cab, I want to confirm whether this skin supports Smart Dial feature. I am asking this because in many threads I read, it was mention that certain skins do not support Smart Dial or that one has to disable Smart Dial before installing that skin.
Once again thanks a lot for your support.

Very nice...can't wait to take it for a spin
It's amazing ! I really want this ! Good job !
Thos application seems to be verry good.
nice!!! quite tired of the normal todays screens..too much cluttered plugins...
hope you could share with us soon very much interested to try out...
nice work keep it up =) hope it is also support VGA..coz many developers develop QVGA soft huhu
looks good, keep it up!
I'm begginer in programming. So dont promise a VGA version. I wrote it with Windows Mobile 6 SDK. I think it will work with 5.0 and 6.0 of coarse.
Actually I doing it for my personal using (QTek S200, WM6).
Will be glad if some one else will can to use it
hi MaxKysh, im a beginner too. Is possible to use grafic libs like XFlib in your project?
Don't know I use only API functions.
Please, try it
Here it is if somebody want to try Please report of your try.
Tested on QTEK S200 - works well.
Tested on Asusu p525 - don't work BlueTooth swith (will try to fix it).
WiFi switch don't realised yet.
Place into Program Files on your device.
The balance USSD request message stored in HKCU\Software\MaxHome\Balance\Message.

I've got an normal htc elf p3450
And the program doesn't work correct, the background doesn't load therefore the transparant icons doesn't show.
I can enter the settings tab but i don't think any of the settings work.
I know you are a starting programmer (and i can't program anything so i have deep respect for you) but could you concider something like total customization
Greetz
Did you extract it to Program Files? (I meen Program Files\MaxHome\, and not to Storage Card (!)). Don't promise full customize but will work on it

As i have a dutch elf i don't have the program files folder but i made one by hand and copied the whole MaxHome folder to that directory but it still didn't work.
Greetz,
Hmm... That is my big mistake Will try to fix it
hi, just tried it, unzipped to device/Program Files/Max Home
tried running MaxHome01b.exe and comes up with error:
"the file 'MaxHome01b' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
I clicked on accept when it said it wasnt signed...
Not working for Wizard
Date and time displayed correctly, the "Comm Manager" displays correctly but the Bluetooth button is the only one functioning, the rest do not have any effect.
Icons at the bottom do not work at all.
Anyhow, good idea, keep the good work!
Forget to say:
realized at this moment only:
- Clocks
- BlueToot, GSM, GRRS switch (WiFi - not yet)
- Balance Update
The bottom icons just for full view They are not working.
Please tell me, which Software to programm do you use??
Can you post the source code, so that we can help you to make a realy realy good home screen?
Thanks
So I just got my Mogul, and trying to find software for it is really annoying. no list of programs with screen shots, each program type has about 40 different homebrewed versions, most of the stuff doesn;t have a lonk to download anything, no homepage reference so you don't know if you're downloaded a version 4 versions older than the current, piss poor instructions on howw to actually use it, etc.
Is there an actual list of software links, that is updated with the most recent verion, of sotware for this phone? For example, I'm interested in adding that "Cube" menuing system, and doing a Google search returns 50 different versions of 20 different pieces of software linking to pages with older versions of the software that doesn't even work.
Is there a commonly accepted "best" cube type mening system out there? how about a commonly accepted "best" iPhone like interface?

Um, there are literally THOUSANDS of programs that work on the Titan. It doesnt take a lot of work searching to find programs that are awesome. Try using the search feature of this website or ppcgeeks to find what you need instead of asking someone to deliver it to you.
Searching is your best answer. Making a list of the most currnet builds out there (some of which the most current isn't the "best") of software out there would be obselete in a months time. I've got the best results with trial and error in finding what works with my setup (hardware, rom and radio).
Thousands? I've downloaded about 20, and TWO work. the rest do NOTHING, due to obscure compatability problems, some random patch being required that no one seems to have, or it just flat out won't work, period. It;s incredibly frustrating.
Most have said it. You need to do your own research and on top of that what's good for you may not be good for someone else. In a way this is the fun part - the searching for the good stuff. Also, I take much advise from the experts on this and other forums.
In any case, you can't *****. The source of this software is coming from thousands of people/companies. Some write something good and just dump it on a server for others to download and offer little to no documentation. BUT... you pay nothing in many cases (can't ***** there). ANd it's almost always "run at your own risk!".
Want something stable, documented, and supported by a company... stay stock (OEM). Wait... my stock software was not stable, not well documented, and hardly supported (Sprint). As a matter of fact an alpha ROM I am running now is much better than the OEM software that the phone came with.
Willing alpha and beta tester,
tsp
Mogul w/ 6.1, 3.16, 3.27, 60711, NexVision Alpha ROM.
YMMV
make sure you are downloading ppc applications and not smartphone ones, and that you are downloading applications for WM6. If the app doesn't work then search the forums to see what other peoples experience is with that program.
while some of the responses here have been a little abrupt, you need to understand that your request is literally impossible. Nobody could possibly compile of a list of all the software that can run on the mogul.
Here are some things to try, though:
Search the forums for "best programs" and such things
Download different windows mobile apps and try them -- I've rarely found any that don't work.
Figure out what functionality you're looking for, and search specifically for that.
At the very least, if you want to post a query such as this one, you need to specify what exactly you're looking for. Our friend above wasn't exagerating when he said that there are thousands of apps that run on the mogul. If you're new to windows mobile, it'll take some getting used to. Be patient and read a lot. you'll figure it out.
Most people on this board are happy to help you with problems, but they do expect that you exert some energy on your own. If they feel like you haven't, they get touchy.
This thread might become a little more useful for you if you were to say what you are looking for (for example, if you're looking for a good program for maps and such that uses a data connection, I recommend Google Maps (visit http://m.google.com from your mobile phone)
Hope this helps, and good luck!
id say VITO SMS CHAT v1.0.1 is almost a must have if u text alot and have a stock ROM...most the custom ROMS have some form of threaded SMS added for u...but stock ROMS dont and this is a very nice program...i dont use this site much, but im on ppcgeeks 24/7 and i know we have a thread about it there...
also if ur looking for a nice web browser check out netfront browser 3.5 is pretty quick and it loads full websites not just the mobile version...and if u use myspace it actually loads the persons page background...its in beta now till may 31st, but if u search hard enough u can find ANY ppc program for free
I tried searching for a while now. After a failed ROM update I lost all my apps so I am re-customizing everything. How do you change the Title on the Home page? Right now it says: 'TELUS' but that's a little tacky. Can someone guide me to the right post?
Titan Apps
I have quite a few apps that I have been collecting would be happy to contribute to the list let me know...also in the development and hacking section there is a huge list of HTC apps that are pretty much always a go on the Titan.
I am new to this site.. I have a moguel.. and I would love to know what programs u have..please contact me at [email protected] with the info..please and thank u.

i'm a noob as well but i read a bunch.thing is there are terms and titles that make reading these threads as bad as reading the bible at times.i tried a bunch of stuff since i had my mogul.i removed a bunch of stuff as well.but right now i use spb mobile shell,pocket plus,fun contact,s2play,s2u2,weather panel<-------- wich is cool as hell but takes a bunch of tweaking imo to get to run right.(still haven't got my radar images right)gpstoday,thumbcal,and a bunch of games.i'm not an expert by far but i know these apps work fine on my device.
this is pretty confusing but this is the index i use to keep track of all the apps that both work and are user-friendly(to an extent).
its kind of hard to understand of you havent written it but what ever
if you have any questions feel free to ask.
EDIT:btw i have all of these stored. (as in .cabs, .exes....)

By the way, the cube isn't all its made out to be. TouchFLO is worth it, but I find myself constantly bringing up the cube on accident, not to mention that its stays in the background after launching. (eating up 8-9% of memory) It's nice to play with, and its great for showing off the capabilities of the phone but in the end, for me, it just wasn't worth it.
Then again, to each their own. Truly, TRY programs out. People like different things so you can't always trust a stranger to give you accurate advice.
I was once a "noob," having switched from Palm to come over to the "dark side" (remind me of the Mac vs PC thing). I have the VZW XV6800 with DCD's 2.3.2 rom onboard. I have thrashed and trashed my poor PPC many times before getting it stable the way I want. I have the following recommendations to all "noobs" who want to see "what works and what doesn't."
1) Don't fear the hard reset. If things go completely screwy, simply start from scratch. I store all my cab files on the card for this purpose. BTW, I have never needed to call Verizon after a hard reset. I simply *228 to program the SPL and "everyting is irie mon."
2) Make every effort to find the answer yourself before posting a question anywhere. You are likely not the first person to have whatever problem you think you have. To coin a phrase, "the truth is out there." If you don't have the time to search for the answer, you probably shouldn't be putsing (a technical term) with your phone. Check here and over at PPCGeeks.
3) Figure out which base application you cannot live without. ake sure that each works with the other by soft resetting after each install and working the phone a bit before loading another. My base for instance is: SPB Mobile Shell 2; PhoneWeaver; WisBar Advance; Live Search; Google Maps; Opera Mini 4; Resco Backup; Resco file Explorer; and SK Tools. I know they work well, and work together. I always load these first after a hard reset.
4) Get a good backup program (Sprite, SPB Backup, Resco), and use it daily or at least before each new testing round.
5) Backup your registry and save the backup in a safe place (card) in case.
6) Test new applications one at a time, with soft reset after each installation. Do not load another new app, until you are sure that you're happy with the previoous one or have fully uninstalled it.
7) Have fun! Be happy! Don't forget that it's just a damned phone with benefits.
those are some nice tips for someone who is new jgilfor. do you mind if i quoted you in my sig or something? (pm me)
warez i use
After going through this thread, i decided to add the apps i run to my sig. When i get home i'll add some more.
I don't know if it's a good idea or not but maybe i could throw up a page with links to the software? Unless i can upload them all here.
What do you vets think?
It's probably a better request to ask for the programs that each person uses. That's more useful than trying to get a list of every single program out there. With a program name and some patience, then you should be able to find the right install file. If not, then this phone was probably not meant for you, sorry. =( Maybe a Nokia? lol, j/k!
Anyways, I like GhettoBSD's idea! I keep a list of programs that I use so that I know what to reinstall after a ROM flash:
Nilisco Flashlight
HTC Voice Recorder
HTC Home and emunutz HTC Home Customizer
HTC Audio Manager
Skunkworks FlashVideoBundle and TCPMP
Lordsmiff Battery Level
Jorrit Jongma WMWifiRouter
JRebeiro EsmertecJbed and Opera Mini
Stroths-Codyppc Led Killer 3.1
Oxios Memory
CooTek Cooperation Touchpal
GoogleMaps
PPCpimBackup
TomCo Solutions Stopwatch
Do you have a link for the HTC voice recorder that works with Mogul, I tried some but are not working. Cab installs the application, but when trying to record, always get an empty fie of 6b. No matter how long I record always have an empty file named voice00x with size of 6b. Or whay Im doing wrong? I installed the same file in a tytn and works perfect.
Here is what i use
Opera mini (great little browser)
DinarSoft MemMaid ( cleans out junk and temp/ frees memory too)
DinarSoft Handyswitcher (awesome taskbar app with cpu /memory usage that can be on top toolbar in every ap)
Shape Services IM+ ( great instant messanging app )
PPC geeks battery and performance reg hack
acbPowerMeter ( shows how much power apps consume, good for measuring 3g versus no internet use )
Blue Frog Touch Dialer, (htc diamond style dialer , skinable , bigger button layout very cool )
Led Killer 3.1 ( disables annoying flashing green service led )
HTC home plugin schen 2.10 ( nice gui mod, for weather and apps)
Youtubeplay
Total Commander
lokmeup IE Slow Scroll Fix
Google maps
Cloudyfa EsmertecJbed ( java)
PocketCM keyboard
RARLab pocket rar
Sipchange ( change keyboard tool )
someguy sMMS ( adds ability to send picture sms , providing you get your key from the sprint website)
PocketIRC ( mirc application)
Oxios memory ( free tool to free up unused memory)
TRE Pocket PC (free registry editor)
Added a quick fix file for users with 0.95 installed
-Fixes the huge weather icon
-All programs including subfolders show up under programs
-volume control under settings just controls flipslide sounds not pda volume.
-also an option in flipslidelaunch.ini to turn of sound always just add false to the bottom.
-Tasks are organized properly and tasks with no due date don't display 1/1/01
Just unzip FlipSlide_0.95_Fix.zip below and copy to your \program files\FlipSlide directory on your pda, also delete your flipslide.ini and flipslidelaunch.ini files in the home \ directory.
Enjoy.
The new version which is dedicated to speed and size is coming along nicely, I may be able to finish it this weekend. It is about 7 times smaller in size and should hopefully be atleast 5 times quicker for load time and runtime.

WOOOW this is a great program, i installed it on my kaiser/tytn II but its QVGA, are you willing to make a QVGA version to, because i really love this, if it was commercial i would pay for it. the vga version works on kaiser.
Thanks in advance for considering..
greetings

Is there any QVGA version??
It seems very great I want to try it out..
Works good on my Axim X51V using WM6.1 but can I customize it? Don't use Media Player for example.. Also on the first page it shows tasks but no appointments! Anyway it's a great thing, one of the best I've tested so far!
Just in time to get nominated for the awards!Of course,without a QVGA version.....
Thans for the feedback
About the calendar, The calendar button on the front page is your daily planner. It shows only appointments for the day, you can press the arrors above it to go forward and back days and pressing the center bar returns you to your current day. If any on the front page icons have a green bar under it then that means you have data in it.
For the QVGA option, I do plan on building one however it's a little difficult because i only have a vga pda and I want to design it differently for QVGA, this program was designed to not have to use a stylus and take advantage of the large display. I want to use a diffent touch interface for QVGA that better maximizes the space for it's specs. But yes, it's in my plans.
For the video link, i've have problems getting one uploaded because i can't find the software to retrieve it from my camera an they don't allow you to download it. And software recorders for the PDA always seem to make it look choppy which it i not. If anyone doesn't mind recording a short vid and put it on youtube or somewhere i can access it I would be very greatful.
About customization, My next release I plan to allow changes to default programs for media, contact, tasks, dialer and such. I also plan of making this skinable. I definately agree withyou, I also don't use media player as my default player.
Thank you very much for all your feedback. I will keep posting more, I usualy create new releases each week or two.
:>
Chet Striker
thank you very I will test it and give you feedback!
about the calendar again, it has a green bar but when I press it doesn't show any entry! the tasks icon works for me!
It looks nice. I will try it.
Curious G
This is only for the VGAversion????
Thanks...
Might bring some competition to PointUI in later builds!
Feedback
Hey TacoLoco, I was wondering if you could give me more info about your calendar problem, like do you have appointments in microsoft calendar for the day? and if so are your appointments a single occurance or weekly, monthly or yearly appointments that are in microsoft calendar but not in flipslide?
also i was wondering what PDA and OS your using.
Any further feedback would be very helpful.
Thanks
72% download only
HI, The download stops at 72%.. can you upload the file in this forum
thanks
The download finishes at 3.75MB plz seee pictures
good work
qvga version pleassee
Same problem here...
My Touch is QVGA...
QVGA project started
Ok, i'm starting the QVGA program today, It will probably be by this weekend or at latest by next before it's up. But It seems enough people are interested.
Since I don't actualy own a QVGA PDA, and virtualization runs unrealistically slow, I may need testing help from people along the way.

So in an effort to contribute back everything that I have found int he month of using this wonderful Device... I would like to give back to the forum and go over.. everything I have got on my device and why.
Device is Touch HD on the AT&T network (Edge) in California, USA
[size=+1]Applications (in no particular order) :[/size]
ApptoDate : Keeps my applications up to date so I dont have to monitor the various threads to figure out if i have the latest version of the wonderful software that people here devleop. I think it is a SIN for people not to make their apps apptodate compatible.
Micorosft Office Communicator : For work
Alpha Facebook app : new facebbok app under development
CorePlayer : The only way to watch videos on the Touch HD
Flashlite 3.1 : Adds flash support to SOME websites, mainly YouTube
Google Maps : Get the 2.3 version, it also has Streetview
Gyrator2 : Once configured properly for inclusions and exclusions, a wonderful tool
Live Search : The new (beta) version will use cell tower signal to find my location and speech recognition is awesome... within 30 seconds i can open the app, have it locate me and say burger king and it will give me all the burger kings close to me on a map. AWESOME.. does movies, restaruants, flickr phots near me and lots of cool things. Definitely one of my daily use applications, with location services
MyMobiler : To get my phone screen on my desktop with the Touch HD skin
MusicID : Works very welll for identifying music that is playing. Definitely a crowd pleaser
Opera : Browser.. nuff said
PhoneAlarm : My must have app. This app does so much, but I only use it for automatic profile switching, location based, calendar based and time based.. so at night it goes to silent by tiself, when im in a meeting it vibrates itself and when i go to the mall it goes to super loud itself.. no user intevention... super useful. Also switches off bluetooth and wifi and push mail if battery goes down below 20%
Pocket Sportcenter : To keep tabs on my Sports
Registry Editor : for the times you need to edit registry
SKTools : Lots of cool utilities here for when you need them
SlingPlayer Mobile : Use this to watch stuff on my tivo when im away or travelling.
SpbTime : The most finger friendly and nice looking app for setting alarms and timers and stopwatch
Sprite Backup : Automatic backup scheduled for 4:0am on sundays. sweet
Total Commander : Useful utility to put files where they need to go, specially manila files
TouchOff : Gives me the option to soft reset when i i hold down the power button
WIMP : So i can track my phone. I send an SMS to it it locks a satellite and sends an sms back to me... for when it gets stolen or lost
S2U2 : Tricky. Not using it for the unlocking as it was absolutely KILLING my battery. Using it for the caller id feature which is very nice
Second Today : Need this to run phone alarm mainly
Homescreen++ : To measure how much battery is being drawn at any given time
MortScript : Script application which allows me to have an automatic wallpaper changer (among other things).
Schaps Advanced Config : Very cool lets me tweak a bunch of things :
HD Tweak : See above
Diamond TF3D Tweak : See above
JetCet Print : Ive used it and it actually does print to my shared printer. Cool for printing webpages, directions or emails
[size=+1]Visual Tweaks :[/size]
BackGround4Alltabs : While this is cool, it does give all the tabs a background of your choice, on the Touch HD it also has a bug where it messes up your manila screens, so your programs list, your stocks, music player all that will have a 160px transparent strip at the top, which beceoms very very annoying
Prophecy Glass Clock : Very nice glass clock
Darklord Battery meter : For the battery using percentage
Darklord Taskbar
LumOS : Because it is better than the stock one and it uses less battery
15 Tabs : Adds tabs for calendar, comm-manager, call history and sound profiles
TFL3DIcons V3 : Nice icons on the tabs in TF3D
NisseDilliaf's No curtains : Removes the top and bottom curtains for a much cleaner look and makes the homescreen look bigger
Panosha Black Dialer : Much improved Dialer

noProgBK : This removes the ugly grey buttons from the programs tab and their icons. much cleaner look
[size=+1]Other Tweaks :[/size]
SD Tuneup : Makes for faster SD performance. Very useful
.net 3.5 : need this for certain apps. make sure you go in the registry and change 3.5 to be the default .net one. Apps run faster
(Im sure im missing stuff in this section)
[size=+1]Games :[/size]
Teeter : Very good use of the G-sensor
Resco Bubbles : Also good use of the G-sensor
Astraware Casino : Mainly for my Hold em Poker fix
Astraware boardgames : Chess, checkers, backgammon
I will keep eidintg this post as things that I forgot come to me and I will also try over the next few days to add links to threads and programs within this list, as well as more screenshots.
I would also be willing to take any questions if anyone had any about the above post.
Useful, thanks.
Quick q: which do you feel benefit in speed terms from being in internal memory?
Did lumos cause you any problems? I read that it interferes with some applications, specifically Opera. Thanks
i installed Darklord Battery meter but nothing happens, no change what so ever, even after a shot reset, am i doing something wrong?

This may not be the most scientific approach, but my decision factors on what to install to main memory are :
1) If the install size is below 50K, and is a phone related install and not an app... it goes to main memory
2) If its something I need in case my SD card crashes or gets lost... it goes to main memory (e.g total commander, registry editor)
3) If its something that my phone really needs in main memory as suggested by either the application or forums and research, it goes to main memory (.net 3.5)

That is weird, did you also install the sdkcerts.cab file i dont know the process quite well yet, but I do know that was a required cab before doing icons and I beleive also the battery
A bit of a pain in the neck, but might be really useful if you had links to the sites to get the apps.
Okay, I'll bite. Here's my equivalent list (without repeating what's already posted):
SoftMaker Office 2008:
Replacement for Pocket Word/Excel. Pocket Word is okay for minor uses, but if you use spreadsheets as much as I do, Pocket Excel is comically inadequate (especially after the backward steps it has taken from WM5 to WM6).
PhatNotes:
I use textual notes/lists a lot, too, and the built in software in WM does not cut it for me.
SprintDB Pro:
Relational database. I find this to be the best way to maintain my movie lists.
BackCountry Navigator:
A GPS mapping/tracking software based on map downloads on the fly. It gives me peace of mind against getting lost when I'm hiking or mountain biking in the middle of nowhere (at least in those cases where I might have a network signal).
Pocket TOPO:
The pocket version of the National Geographic TOPO! topographic map software. Does route planning and GPS tracking as well. (Unlike BackCountry Navigator, only works with limited maps exported from its own desktop PC version.)
Pocket Stars:
Good sky guide. I can't say I'm even close to using it regularly. But it's still there for the rare occasion when I might need it.
TapBirds:
Bird identification field guide. Do you see a general "outdoors" theme here?
Pocket Player:
I use it mainly for audio books. It has a good resume feature and very good bookmarking capabilities.
AIDEM File Explorer:
Just a free File Explorer replacement that I find capable enough for my own needs, for those occasional cases where the original File Explorer is a bit too restrictive.
TomeRaider:
Book reader. It allows me to carry around with me a whole bookcase of books and reference sources, including an almost complete IMDB movie database and two (count 'em, two) offline full-text copies of Wikipedia. (One is slightly smaller and older than the other but includes images...)
Viigo:
Very decent RSS reader, though it's been diversifying into a ton of other useful features lately.
Calc98:
Much more capable free replacement for the built-in WM calculator. Good for some scientific calculation, base conversions, and unit conversions, too.
DirMap:
Utility for displaying directory subtree sizes. Also features graphic display of space usage. Very handy when trying to figure out what's taking up storage space.
FTP Client:
Very useful when I need to access some file that I don't have with me but is available on the FTP-accessible server I run at home.
Opera Mini:
Always a good idea to have additional browsers handy, for cases when one goes haywire or has specific incompatibilities with a particular website that another browser might handle just fine.
Pocket Gforce:
Poor man's vehicle dynamics analysis tool (G force measurement, acceleration/deceleration, 0-60 mph, etc.) I haven't gotten to play with it yet, but it might be a fun distraction during my next autocross event.
Resco Photo Viewer:
I had bought this for an earlier WM PDA, but it's still got more features than any photo viewing/slideshow software that comes with the Touch HD, so I still use it.
Pocket Streets:
My 2001 version still works with the Touch HD. It's still the most handy (virtually) free offline map software, if you ask me.
PocketLock:
File and directory encryption software. Quite strong encryption. I love how intuitive its integration is. (Double-clicking a file, first launches PocketLock to decrypt, than the host app to open the file. Closing the file automatically triggers PocketLock to ask you whether you want to encrypt it again.) I've been using this on every version of Windows Mobile since "Pocket PC 2002"!
Storage Tools:
I use this to fix storage card file system corruptions, and the occasional storage card defragmentation.
WMStopWatch:
At one point, this was the only free stopwatch program I could find for WM that would not stop when I turned off the device--a crucial requirement when you want to time anything longer than a few minutes.
vxIPConfig and vxUtil:
Some nice old-fashioned free networking utilities that I like keeping under my hand (trace route, port scanner, DNS lookup, ping, finger, whois, etc.).

Hi,
I am wondering about the battery drain after installing all these, can you please enlighten me..... and links to those applications will be appreciated
phone alarm itself is a magical program for preserving battery life. I use it to turn off connections, bluetooth etc etc at various times of the day (don't need anything at night when I'm in bed but I still use the alarm so putting it into flight mode can save hours of battery life for example). I can get my battery to last 3 days or more using this piece of software.
First of all thanks taimoor for this thread good one,

Hi people,
I have just got my new Touch Diamond 2 and it's beautiful. I have spent several days googling looking for the best place of expertese for tweaking and customising, and it seems this is the place. I have never owned a Windows Mobile device or a HTC before, but I'm PC savvy and I want to tweak my new phone.
Among other things, I want to:
Be sure my phone uses Wifi when available instead of contract internet
Tweak the TouchFLO home screen (including analogue clock and RSS)
Find a list of the best and/or most popular mods/software
Where do I start and what do I need!
Congratz
As I've heard and noticed from my own TD2 is that it always uses wifi over data. But if you really want to be sure you can disable Data Connection in the Communication tab whenever you want to surf.
You can also in All Settings => Personal => Buttons configure that long hold button disables Data Connection.
As for tweaking I would download Diamond Tweak and Advanced Config
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html
http://montecristoff.webs.com/diamondtweak.htm
First law of windows mobile: keep the internal disk clean!
Install every new piece of software on the memory card.
For my TD2 I got a 16Gb microSD card and started with Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 to tweak all storage-related paths to folders I created on the memory card.
A good place to start looking for tools is freewarepocketpc.net. A lot of more than decent free applications. The ones you don't like can always be removed in settings/system/remove programs, and replaced by commercial tools.
I disagree.. I used to install everything on the external card; and found two major disadvantages:
- some app will run a lot slower!
- if you use your sd card to store music video and other stuff
you better not have to change it...
I m more inclined to install less apps that filling the memory card with it.
The main use I have for the memory card is to store backups, documents, music, and install cab files.

Yeah I saw those button settings but couldn't work out what they meant. What is this long hold button? Is it the dial button that if you hold puts it on speaker phone? And how would you configure it for disabling a data connection, I don't see and option that would allow this?
I have seen that freewarepocketpc website, and had a snoop around. I have an 8Gb card coming today (hopefully!) and I was waiting to get that to install software on it. I read that might slow down some apps, now I'm not so sure what to do. However I want to avoid installing a load of software to try it out, then uninstalling it. It is windows after all. That's why I wanted some recommended software from people on here.
Question: Will that configuration tool allow tweaking of the TouchFLO stuff? Has anyone changed the clock on the TouchFLO Home page thingy?
Thanks all for your help
You have to chose the tab "End Key" under the Button setting menu and then chose the "terminate data connection" option
Ahh I get it now, had a look at those keys thanks. Going to use Advanced Configuration Tool when I get my memory card (still not here yet!)
The best single piece of advice I can give any TD2 owner is to ditch TF3D and at least try living without it. Your rewards will be more available memory, faster operation, increased functionality, full use of applications' today screen plugins, less (or no) bugs, and the cost is it doesn't look as nice.
In a couple of months' time, WM6.5 will be out and then even the looks will be there.
After much research I have ditched TouchFLO and got SPB Mobile Shell 3. I keep hearing about bugs but I am yet to encounter one. I have to say that SPB Mobile Shell 3 is what I would have expected to have on a phone like this. TouchFLO looks good, and I have a friend that loves it, but you can't customise it very easily. Simply having the widgets in SPB Mobile SHell 3 makes it a better, mnore customisable and quicker interface.
I currently have Total Commander as an explorer replacement. I'm not sure if this is the best, but I have yet had time to do proper research. It's supposed to have a registry editor in there, but for the life of me I can't find it :/
Had some serious fun with video playback. I wanted to play full quality (not HD) dix files, DVD rips and the like. After much fun with different software I found that Coreplayer blows everything out of the water. My expectations had dropped about what I might be able to watch on my phone after having problems with other media players, but Coreplayer can play full movie DVD rips with no stuttering and it looks awesome.
Still some fun to be had tweaking, for example finding out if/how java stuff will work, trying to find something for email/sms, and some "cool" apps to impress my gran.
I'm no expert but purely from personal experience the first steps are:
1) Install Resco Explorer
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp
2) Install HTC hotfix for Diamond 2
(http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=563)
3) Install .NET Framework 3.5 (requirement for a bunch of 3rd party software)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en
4) Install SKTools (needed for many things but especially for next step)
http://www.s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_products.html#tools
5) Use SKTools to disable ActiveSync (results in huge improvement of battery duration)
5a) Disable the repllog.exe (which is the application behind ActiveSync) associated with ""AppRunAfterTimeChange"" in Notifications Queue
Alternative way is to install Dotfred's Task manager and kill repllog.exe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175757&postcount=50
5b) Follow the steps 1-7 in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288352
5c) Install eLiAs_ASyncKiller.cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3048077&postcount=40
6) Install HDTweak for various tweaks (eg for improvement of TouchFlo response)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505)
7) Install sdkcerts (needed for "cosmetic" interventions eg Hall Feica fonts in TouchFlo, slpashscreens, topbar etc)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471604
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3661976&postcount=80
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3861405&postcount=2
8) Install Diamond D3D Video drivers using the first attachment from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475493&highlight=ATI+3d+driver
Before installation download and run the fourth attachment (Lights.exe)
Install the drivers and then run Lights.exe again to see the huge improvement
9) Install G-Config (for forcing applications to go into landscape mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3848546&postcount=3
10) Enjoy your Topaz
P.S.: Backup your Contacts, Calendar etc frequently

According to htc europe:
If you move to the Settings tab in TouchFLO, the top part of the item descriptions under Communications (WiFi, Bluetooth, phone, data) are slightly cut off. If this happens, please download this hotfix to solve the problem.
So I think the answer is yes
Oops I forgot the very useful CleanRAM from htcaddicts:

I use its embedded scheduler so it runs automatically every 3 hours claiming back megabytes of RAM
Mark it as step 11

Double click on "\\Plugins" and you'll reach the hidden options including the registry editor. I've been using Total Commander for years on various ppcs, it's all you need for registry work.

Hiya, great post~!
I have the Diamond2 as well... wouldn't I want to install 'Diamond Tweak' instead of 'HD Tweak'? Are they essentially the same thing, or does HD Tweak offer more functionality for the Diamond2?
Cheers,
Diamond Tweak is for the older version of TouchFlo, use HD Tweak.
