Ok this thread is for you guys who keep asking for programs, games etc, all over the forums! Most of these can EASILY be found withough posting a new thread simply to get a solitare game! I'll give you a few tips on searching and where/how to find what your looking for!
First off, a great majority (if not all) programs and games, are installed through files called Cabinets! These are what we refer to as .CAB files. .CAB files are one file that contains multiple files, hence the word "Cabinet". These files are normally easy to find.
The easiest way to find a program is by using a site im sure were all fimiliar with! GOOGLE! Simply go there, if you know exactly what program/game your looking for type it in and add a .CAB on the end! (Example: Office Mobile.CAB) And right there under the first link, is a XDA thread with the Office Mobile download that ive seen asked for all over this forum!
The second way is thru the XDA Forum Search, and guess what! Its google again! Though this ONLY searches the XDA forums! Just be specific with it! (Example: HomeScreen PlusPlus)
The third way I've found is from Freeware For PPC this site hap PLENTY of freeware! Games, Programs, Themes, Etc! Use it!
If you still cant find what your looking for, post it in this thread or another dedicated thread for programs/games! Id be happy to assist in search, let's just keep these threads clean! Happy hunting!

How about on this thread,we answer two things ,which may helpspread awarness of apps & prog out there maybe also help see what your exec can do and achieve
If the above idea is ok I'd like to ask two things
A
If you just got a brand new shiny out the box exec,what would you do too it and what would you add.?
I Intend this weekend to save and compress any memory,by using another ROM and other software,but I have no idea,so ill search the site this weekend
secondly maybe we can post up here ,things you'd like,your exec to do,
hopefully if your request isn't too OTT,someone may know a way or provide a link
for e.g.
I'd like my exec to watch tv is this poss?
reply
either pre load your memory card with compressed films and use a dvd software,like this
www.alink.com
or install slingbow and the relevant software,this is there homepage
www.homepage.com
a one thread resource for a how to,regards the limitations of an exec
jaceuk - we're having this discussion over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56072&highlight=
But basically, the wiki lives, and is used as a repository for knowledge. Anyone can access/update it. That's the best way to distribute this type of information.
Regarding what to do with your Exec, there are several threads on the subject... eg what software to install etc.
OTT requests - just post them. People will respond if they can!
Very few things are too OTT

Thanks as always ur the gent,i was unaware of the wiki ill look

But any questions, search first, but do ask. That's why we're a community

Hey I'm new to this forum (as shown in my post count).
What programs do you use on your Hermes?
Small problems I would like to fix are:
-A little speed boost. I feel like it lags behind sometimes
-Programmable sms tones. I dont just want to use those 1-2 second long sounds.
-A good free multi-chat program. For example, AIM, ICQ, GoogleTalk, Msn, Yahoo... all at the same time. Personally I found AgileMessenger to be quite nice, but it costs 45 bucks to buy... i may resort to that though.
Actually onw last thing i would like and wondering if it is even possible, probably only by some awesome hacker. I want a program that gives me the passkeys of locked wifi networks, are there any of those available?
I have more questions about t-mobile but ill start a different thread.
This site is a support forum for xda enthusiasts. using this site, you will find lots of tweaks for your phone, OS upgrades, fixes, etc. but we do not condon anything illegal here. That means even if some hacker finds a way how to do something that is illegal, the moderators will immediately delete it. That also applys for cracked programs, etc. Im not accusing you of anything, but since you are new here I just wanted to give you a quik breifing on what we are and are not about.
Also, before you post any questions, or screw up your phone, make sure you do lots of reading and searching (search bar at top right), there is also a google search tool for this site in the other section.
Welcome and good luck

ok then ty for letting me know. Seeing as how many programmers are on this site I though that non-legit might be fine here.
Thank you for the warning, Im not a computer noob, but new to the wm phone world. I'd be sure on reading up before installing anything.
Well then the same questions are still up... I never said I wouldnt pay for these programs but if the freeware is just as good, why not?
Please do not start new threads to request repeated information.
Thread closed.
This forum has a lot of information and a lot of input and applications and downloads. I recently started coming here a few weeks ago and little by little have gotten through quite a few threads and downloaded some amazing stuff. However, it's been difficult at best and quite slow and tedious and I know there is still lots of stuff I'm missing.
What I was thinking is how it would be great if we had one unified post that summarized and organized some of the most popular applications that are available here. Something like:
Best Music Players
--HTC Audio manager
--Mort Player
--etc.
Best Browser
--Opera Mini
--Picsel
--Skyfire
--etc.
Best locking program
--S2U2
--etc.
and so on, with the download links next to them. This would make referencing certain applications easy to find and download for all from various threads. With a few people in charge to moderate the thread, updates could easily be done as people post as they arrive or to alert others and then subsequently deleted.
I'm not sure if this has been brought up or attempted before, but I wanted to throw it out there. Please feel free to close or lock this thread if necesssary mods.
I would also add that some polls could be set up initially to identify some of these key applications to set up a "standard" list of applications that most users here should at least be familiar with and/or have on their devices.
Thanks and hope this idea helps out others if it's put forth.
Chain Fire's WMWIFI ROUTER
Slither's HTC CUBE Clone ( flash version )
Slither's HTC Cube ( C++ version )
Throttle Launcher
will add more later
Best Music Player:
Pocket Melody
Best Browser:
NetFront Browser 3.5
Best contact App :
-- PocketCM 0.19b !!
I can't find the pocket melody thread... can some one gimme a link...
Thanks
Sorry, but before this thread becomes very crowded and yet another "must have" list that gets lost in the realms of the web: Wouldn't it be better to do this in the XDA-Wiki?
Here's a good starting point.
A sticky hint might be a good idea, though, you've got to scroll the Wiki main page for a while to find it...

Thank you. That's exactly the type of format I'm looking for. I didn't want everyone to just come and start posting their favorite programs but instead to have ONE post that combined them all. I just don't know enough of them and haven't been around long enough to even begin to compile it.
That wiki page looks great. I just hope someone that has a little time and the desire to do this could pull it off. I just don't have either nor the knowledge to put out something that would be helpful. Thanks for the reply.
best tweaker
schaps config tool
Nice looking interface - Wisbar Advance Desktop
Best theme bars and text color changer:
RC Mod v.2.1 by o3blig
We should have official polls on what are the best apps for each category.
That way, the best of the best will show themselves and those who are not yet enlightened, WILL be.
It will also clear up arguments and let popularity decide.

Agreed. Should be in general.
Hi All,
Just got my nice new blackstone shipped over from Australia running on 3G in Canada! Which is very cool!

Any advice really appricated!
Thanks,

Agreed, red the wiki link above. Each person wants different apps to suit their needs so it is up to what you want!!
Thanks for the answers guys.
I guess part of my question was around what apps people felt that they could not live without. Reading through I know some folks like the ability to have multiple home screens etc.
But will check out the wiki!
Here are some "must-have" apps for your new HD. (my opinion)
1. HD Tweak
2. Advanced Configuration Tool
3. Pocket Mechanic
4. CorePlayer
5. Resco File Explorer
6. Sprite Terminator
7. Sprite Backup
Thread closed by request.
There seem to be enough "my favourite this and that" Threads around.
This can be seen by some as information pollution for Search Engines.
(it's actually a fact that it is information)
So that is why this thread is being closed, due to redundancy and no direct imrpovement of Development support.
Hello,
i noticed that a lot of apps out there for reading news - are extracting new from various sitesand put them in their app.
Is there an easy way to do this, in order to select which sites i would like the app to bring me the titles of articles, and then when i click on it to read the article?
I am not into programming at all, so i dont know how all this works, thus it may be a silly and easy question for some, but unfortunatley i couldnt find elsewhere an answer!
Thank you
