thanks for the video, quite nice!
Could you post up the names of the apps and URLs here too?
Another question:
Do you use any special version of TomTom 7 or does every Version work with the WVGA resolution ?

Orb - http://www.orb.com/
What was the last one, the one you said was a service, that streams from your PC?
And i assume Skype doesnt have any problems with WVGA?
Orb was the last one ... and skype has no problem in widescreen
thanks for the writeup
what about tomtom 7, do i need a special WVGA version or is it just normal TomTom 7 ?
This is the version of tomtom I got TT Nav 7.450.9028 QVGA Black

Brother no joke I do that from time to time to check in on the misses.
Wait, you use your Xperia as the Webcam or you use the Xperia to view the webcam? I'm confused, can you explain the setup?
He has a webcam at home and watches it from the road with his x1.
you can use it as both ... but I use it to view my home webcam with orb

I really like it and you can use wm skins, of which there are some corkers. The reason I used it on my old athena though was that I could get all the buttons of the HTC remote working with it.
as the remote doesn't fit the x1 and tf3d works so well I haven't bothered with it.
Sound is fine from it, there's quite a lot of equalizer and boost options.
Is there an app that would allow me to syncronize files? For example I would create a folder on my computer and assigned it o sync with my WM phone, so older files (same file, different date) would get deleted either on my phone or computer and the new ones loaded. The point of doing this is, that I would have to drag my computer everywhere with me. X1 would suffice for small editing of office files and such. I know any serious work would still have to be done on my computer.

i use it with the exec and it works all fine. just that under the drop down menu for webcam settings, i cannot select my old webcam so decided against it.
vapor,
The program has no problem working on my QTEK9000 and I have no problem using my existing webcam on my PC as well
No need to select any webcam. Just plug-and-play my existing webcam
From memory, isn't this app just taking Photos and streaming them across? I've never tried it but read that elsewhere...

Damn, I thought this was gonna add a vidcam for the Pocket PC version of MSN Messenger..
This is pretty cool. If it was high quality and had the option of using both the cameras (not at once) on the universal I'd defo consider the €5 registration.
JAmes
i welcome donations too
I wonder if skype will be supported
this is good but it would better if you could use the camera near the screen on the Universal instead of the main camera...is there a possibility of this?
If this works with WLAN, then you have in your posession a wireless IP camera (of sorts) - haven't tried it myself yet, as have only just read about this app and I'm at work.
Does it only work with MSN or can you use it in any video capture apps?
Thats exactly what you have, although i wouldnt leave it lying about
Its not of good enough quality video (if you ask me) to pay for yet, if this could be improved it would def. be worth paying for.
being able to use the video camera would be good too.
Its seen by windows as a capture device so I imagine it should be able to be used with capture sw.
JAmes
It works with LxCamView.exe on the desktop....
However, if I launch any other application (Trillian, VLC etc.) the app on my PPC fails to pair up with my desktop and throws an error...
Am i missing something???
(Otherwise, its awesome over wifi!!! A poorman's spy camera )
Cheers,
S
tried with my dopod with new rom...
doesnt work
installed the simcap.inf file on my PC but when i try to run the Lxcam application, i get an error msg saying "is not a valid win32 application"
can anyone shed some more light on this as i'd love to have this app up and running.
thank you

If you guys read the installation instructions and readme of the website, its clearly stated this is a known problem. The fix is: (taken straight off the website)
If there are problems with a second webcam in MSN Messenger
If you have selected the LxCamView webcam and it is impossible to switch to another webcam, close MSN Messenger completely (choose Exit in the menu of the MSN Messenger icon in the system tray). Then go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager. Under Sound, Video, and Game Controllers, select SimCap. Choose Deactivate, and the LxCamView webcam will not appear any longer in MSN Messenger.

HELP
I am wondering what apps/games you really really reccomend that are essential. Like an essential Today launcher is iLauncher, an essential application is voice command, and an essential game is marble worlds.
just list them, i really need to know. thanks.
- Batti. Get a good look at the battery status in the wizard. [freeware]
- Birthday. Get ur contacts birthdays in today screen with age etc. [freeware]
- SPB ToPlay. Play WMP playlist from today screen. very simple apps. too bad doesn't support shuffle option. [shareware?]
- TCPMP. Divx player for windows mobile. [freeware]
- InClose Mobile. Best task manager I've seen to date. Switch to tasks. Close All, Turn off screen (cool for listining to music), landscape switch without sliding open keyboard. and other features. [freeware]
- E-TEN Dialer Vista skin. Cool dialer skin apps (unfortunately only English compatible and u lose smardial if u use it. [freeware]
- BatteryStatus. Overclocking the wizard in one simple touch, also continues overclocking. [freeware]
Most of the software can be found via Google or search the forum.
Cheers,
Shah
I use a few, but the must have's for me are;
Opera - PIE just can't handle java script as well and it has faster page rendering and tabs.
TomTom - The best GPS software.
Conduits Pocket Player - The best MP3 player, gapless playback, streaming, great format support and plugins. I dont think there is a better music player for WM5.
TCPMP - The best video player but dont use it much now i have a PSP.
iLauncher - Today program launcher. The MDA does not have the resolution or screen real estate for the clutter other today plugins make IMO. I only use it to launch TomTom, Pocket Player and Memory Map when i am driving.
inClose - Like magic button, but better, more options and has never crashed like MB always did for me.
Resco Explorer - The best file management app by far. If you own a WM5 device, it should be illegal to not have it.
Memmaid - Cleans up temp files, caches and registry. Not without it's fault, but there is nothing else that can really do what it does as far as i know.
Voice Command - Great for voice activation but when the hell are they going to update it for bluetooth and reading text/emails?
here are mine
iLauncher - Today launcher
PocketBreeze - Today launcher
Voice Command - Voice activation?
Magic Button - Closes applications (freeware)
Marble Worlds - Great Game (similar to marble maddness on NES)
Virtual Pool Mobile - Pool hustling simulater
OmapClock - overclocking
Pope Battery Status - displays battery status at top (made by somebody in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21699&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
(except it does have 2 problems, you can't turn it off without uninstalling it, and it shows up on every page, not just the today screen... bad during movies).

On the HS850, the gateway closes if you push the button. But pushing the button again reopens it. So it just takes two pushes to activate VC--one to open the gateway and one for VC. It's usable on the Motorola.

If you use latest version of WM5Newmenu (version 2.0.0 beta) happened to me the same but solution is easy..
Create a shortcut like this in which folder you like
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -To ""
Don't forget the quotation marks and create a new menu Item and point the shourtcut you have created. And If you just want to check mail in the background (won't popup the email client screen) shourtcut is like this
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -Sync
:wink:
Thats great, thanks for that. I used the paramaters option in Newmenu rather than create a lnk file, but it still works fine.
Much appreciated.
Glad to help you , sure it works without a shortcut but I am used to create a shortcut for to use as a today item too. :wink:
Hello all,
I've just bought a shiny new Ameo. Overall, I'm very happy with it. The keyboard is a bit of a challenge when your hands cover as much acreage as mine, but im sure i'll get used to its idiosyncratic layout and lack of num lock. in time.
So now i'm thinking about which apps to install.
What do you guys think are the essentials? The apps my ameo shouldn't be without?
cheers!
Tomtom 6
MS Live Search
Voice Command
live search - good shout. installed it.
built in gps; i'm lovin it.
Coreplayer (check the other threads in this forum for how to setup) for DivX/XVid playback.
iGo2006 (instead of TomTom6, it's much better ;-) ).
Avantgo client for News/RSS.
Mobipocket Reader for Books.
Also:
AEB Buttons 2.5.2
WM6 Remote Desktop
Skype
Some that I forgot because I'm so used to them being there:
SPB Diary 2.0
SPB Weather
SPB Time
Skype^^ - definately - the VOIP functions of skype actually work using the Athena, the processor in the Wizard wasn't quite good enough.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned ozVGA or MrTrueVGA.
It HAS to be the first thing you install (I prefer ozVGA), closely followed by VJBigPhone and WA2.
Then of course it all depends on what you do with the device, or intend to do.
I really like coreplayer, Resco Explorer and the reg. edit addon
I wouldn't mind some suggestions for an instant messaging program that handles both MSN messenger and Google talk. IM+ 4.33 and 4.35 keeps crashing for me.
Edit: As for num lock. Yes you can do that. Takes a lilttle fiddling with the special button though. 4 presses in a row to lock the "blue keys", 4 presses to "unlock". A little silly, but you get used to it.
my apps...
- IM+ I'm running this without any issues.
- pRSSreader as it's free. I disable the today plug because it makes my phone run slow and i think sometimes lock up.
- WiFiFoFum.
- WM6 Remote Desktop, much better than the WM5 Remote Desktop client.
- TomTom6
- AE Button Plus
- Magic Button
- Resco Explorer (ftp addon, registry addon and works great to connect to other computers on your network.
- SmallMenu Plus
- Sprite Backup
- Total Commander
- VGA software already mentioned above
- Pocket Informant
- BlueTooth and Wifi icons for tray. Someone posted them to the Athena forum recently.
I want to hear what others have installed also. I want to add more and more and more.
Edit: MortPlayer (just an awesome and FREE audio player)
Best photo editing?
What's the best photo editing software for the Athena/WM5? Just looking for something with a lot of options when editing pictures.

apphoen...thanks a bunch for an excellent tip. iGo 2006 with UK maps is absolutely brill! I much prefer it to TomTom 6 and have already uninstalled from my Ameo. I much prefer the options in iGo but lack the speed camera warnings. Will test it out some more and if all goes well, will probably invest further.
Thanks again for a great heads up.

WA2
Resco Explorer 2007 with all plug-ins
TCPMP 0.72RC or Coreplayer

I use the default WA2 skin. Then I just take my favorite tsk and adapt it to VGA (96 dpi), and maybe change a few colors. I don't do to much since the default is nice enough.
I really like the look of iGo, so I installed it after a hard reset and configured it. Since synchronising with my Exchange account to get my contacts, it now loads up saying it is searching for contact addresses and performance might be reduced. No matter what I do, it then exits the application after around 30 secs or so. Any ideas? I really don't want to go back to TomTom!!

Christ! No idea! I'm not on an exchange server so it found my contacts fairly swiftly with no problems.
Sorry I can't help with that one.
Here's my pick of the top Pocket PC Apps:
NewsBreak 2.0
SlingPlayer Mobile
WisBar Advance 2
Pocket Weather
TomTom Navigator (I run 5.21)
Opera Mobile
HTTPMail Provider
eWallet
You can Google for all these products, or else see the list with hyperlinks.

However, I'm still sure that its a great phone, and has tons of potential.
The thing is... before I got the phone, I had so many ideas of what I wanted to do with it. But now that I have it... I'm completely blank o_o
What have you guys been doing with your X1s?
How are you enjoying it?

lol, well this is my first winmo phone, so I really dont know what I'm doing
No clue how to flash a new ROM and dont wanna risk bricking my phone by screwing up >.>
In addition to the regular texting and im'ing. I use it to listen to music watch movies, do quick editing on office suites, streaming with orb.Also used for taking photos and videos and uploading to facebook.
It all comes down to the apps I suppose.

It's like a little computer. There's not much it can't do. TV on demand would be nice.

Yep, and pRSSreader will do all your podcasts if you enable 'download enclosures' in the settings.

That is awesome!!! Being a .Net developer myself, i'm excited to try this one out...
the best thing i do is to unlock everything on my rom without flash them so i dont have to void my warrenty and got touch flo 3d pannel, coreplayer to watch high quality movies, i got a 16gb to store all of them!
I currently use on my X1:
-Subsembly FinPhone (real mobile banking from all over the connected world)
-TTQV Pathaway (Moving Map and GPS Tracking Software)
-Basic4ppc Version 5.80 (BASIC IDE for PPC)
-complex Pocket Excel sheets i.e. for forecasts, financial calculations,
budgeting, event planning
And: I'd really like to try vsNotepad (by VirtualSpaghetti) but it suffers from an uncalibrated UI

Please let me know about more about this IDE which sounds like to be one running on the PPC.
so short

Wow, sounds like you guys are all doing such professional things with your X1s

I use the following
Online:
Orb
Logmein
Windows Live Mesh
Google Maps

Well it's a C# IDE. Very nice too. Get it from here, and see what you think. It doesn't need to be installed: it just runs.
Speaking of cool apps for PocketPC, PocketBlender is a great idea, but I find it unfinished and unstable. Does anyone know of other free CAD viewers?
TrackMe is nice. Again, I'd be interested to hear of alternatives since Trackme depends on .net and an SQLserver.
Nicetrack looks to be brilliant, but it doesn't work on the X1. Apparently only a minor source-code tweak is needed to fix this.

I just think what I want, then enter it into a search engine along with the words "for Windows Mobile" or "for PocketPC"

This seems like a good place to mention OBD II on the X1. Somewhat of a challenge since we need to use the MicroSDIO for a comm interface, and www.obd2cables.com have a minimum order of 250pc for custom cables. OBD II is the thing which mechanics use to look at what's gone wrong with your car. I've not had any luck starting topics on the subject.
Nice one Pyrojester
I didn't realise LogMeIn was available for windows mobile. Now I can work while i'm away from work/home.

I use it to access VNC computers or remote desktops. It's quite useful for FTP access too.
You can do pretty much what you want with it.
Though WVGA is great for VNC, remote desktop, FTP browsing, Corecodec, Xnview, TomTom, MSN (IM), and of course mails.
nothing as i amm still trying hard to tweak it LOL
Hi all,
I'm about to get my HD2, and I've been trying to track down a list of recommended apps for the handset. I've seen all the tweaks listed on XDA and so on, but I was looking for something more in the way of programs that would enable a better experience on the HD2. For a brand new phone, what would be recommended? Some I've picked up already, such BSB Tweaks, but what else could ppeople suggest?
Thanks!
David
Hi!
One thing in upfront. Please be gentle to your new beloved HD2 ;-)
You can use search and in the theme and application thread but here is some I use and don't wanna miss on my HD2 in future....
Resco File explorer (best explorer ever)
Core Player
Skyfire (for embedded flahs)
SPB Backup
Nimbuzz / Skype
BSBTweak as you said...
TomTom
Cheers,
LEE
hi Lee, i,m not brilliant with this sort of thing, where do I find Tom Tom and how do I apply it to my phone, hope you can help me
cheers aby
Hi there,
Thanks for your reply. What is a good program for doing the registry tweaks? I know Resco can do it, but what are the other options? What is a good program for backing up and restoring Data? What other suggestions do users have for a new phone?
Thanks!

Alternative to Resco Registry wourld be PHMRegEdit (free) but Resco is really a musthave !!!
For Backups i recommend SPB Backup (Best one in my opinion). Full Backups, PIM-Backups, Self-selected Backups etc etc
Rather than ask for random lists of 'best programs' you would be better using your new HD2 for a while and then seeing what you would like to add.
There are many thousands of programs out there, and there is probably no software class or profession that isn't catered for in some way.
As the previous posters have said, a good backup program (Spb or Sprite, with Spb being the better one at present), a better file manager (Resco or TotalCommander), a better media player (Coreplayer), an automated profile switcher (SBSH Phoneweaver) etc, etc.
But, try it 1st, out of the box. It may well do all you need
I´ve got TOMTOM 7, Torch (flashlight) and the most cool things is clear backgrounds, so that i can see my wallpaper better.
Searching: Core Player, Need 4 Speed, and a guide to use total comander.
If you're a Twitter user then I recommend Twikini - http://www.trinketsoftware.com/twikini/

Cool! I didn't know about that one.
At work, I have my phone connected all the time - and I always thought it would be great to be able to control it from the computer.
Can you also type your SMSes with computer keyboard?
total commander, pocket rar,pim backup are also very handy.
Hi all, thanks again for all your help. Just got my new HD2 now - it's sitting in its box - I can't wait to open it!

Yeah - mouse and keyboard control the phone on the PC. It's very handy indeed!
