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:
Hi Guys,
i've been using 612c for a while... it's quite slow compared to Microsoft Voice command which i've been using since my last ipaq 6515, i want to ask how to replace Cyberon Voice commander (since it installed inside rom) with Microsoft Voice Command 1.6?
thx..

Maybe it's a good idea to post a request to some of the rom cookers see previous threads. You can just install the microsoft voice command and assign the button for voice command but it didn't work for me properly. Maybe it needs some more tweaking i don't know - assigned the "hold record button"
for starting the program but it didn't work. I don't really use voice command so i just uninstalled it and didn't try to make it work at all. Guess that the idea of talking to the phone while in office seems odd to me. Maybe it's useful while driving but i usually only take calls while in the car.
Vito Voice Dialer
There is an application by VITO - voice dialer, if voice dialing is what you need. Give it a go and post comments if you want to
i found an awesome voice command program for all windows moblie phones. It was designed on a WM 5 verison. i tired it on my X1, it worked well, i could use all functions like calling a contact, starting up and app, finding out my next appointment and so on but just giving simple voice requests and the it use to reply back. the only problem was that when i recieved a call..the voice would not work (as its suppose to tell me who's calling).
does anyone know of a full voice command program fully compatiable on the X1 as this one works brillantly on HTC's and omnia's but not the X1.
Please let me know how it works or if anyone knows of a better voice command program for the X1 or WM6.1 specifically. thanks.
Care to share the name of that "awesome voice command program for all windows moblie phones"?
They are talking about Microsoft's Voice Command. The issue of not announcing incoming calls is well known on the X1 and, as far as I know, there is not fix for it.
Sadly, while other companies have tried to implement voice control software of their own, they are never quite as good as Microsoft's version.
OMG giefv plx !!!
wait a second, i feel a disturbance in the search function
thanks for the replies..it is the Microsoft voice command. but i did some research on it now and yes the incoming call annoucements are an issue on the X1. also after i installed the MSVC..my screen started flickering non-stop even after a soft-reset. i had to unistall it and reset..after 4 restarts it worked fine again.
its an awesome program if it worked 100%!!
ive used MVC for a while now on my x1, its cool i have it set up on right hardware button. Best feature for me is it reads text messages outloud ( turn sms ringtone off) great program
Anyone ported this yet its soooo badly needed =[ cant believe ipod 3gs and blackberries both have this functionality but diamond doesn't!! anyone know of an app that can do this?
as you can see on the website http://www.vlingo.com/ there is a beta test for win mobile
if you looked closely would see is for only selected windows mobiles, not for diamond, does not allow install ^^
I'm just wondering whats the difference between vlingo and other voice to action software that is already available for WinMo?
Such as:
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial
Microsoft Voice Command
because they are both basic and dull for instance windows voice command can do the odd task taking you to some application or opening up your contacts but vlingo is allot more intelligent.. so you could say "text david, hello i will be there soon" and it will write a text saying that to david... its awesome =]

Probably the difference is that Vlingo is more shiny like everything for iPhone.
I have MS voice commander from my old phone so have installed it on my hd2 and most of the functions work. Searching around i hoped i might be able to "launch" it by creating a shortcut to the voicecmd.exe and then renaming it long_send in the windows directory.
Sadly this doesnt do anything. I tried a soft reset and even tried calling it long_send.ink and another soft reset but each time i hold the make call button nothing happens.
Am i missing something? Is there another way to assign the hardware buttons on the hd2?
It's long_send.lnk with an L for link - not ink.
Thanks, DOH! Works a treat now.
Can you explain how you get the Microsoft Voice Commander working on the LEO/HD2?

Pretty easy, by installing it using the CAB file you can find on here.
Just do a Google search for "XDA HD2 voice command" but I recommend Cyberon Voice Commander which you can also find here on XDA.
The reason i went for MS voice commander is that i had the cab from my last install and like the extra features not just voice dialing.
Does cyberon support music / calander / silent switching etc?

Hmm, not sure if it has all of those since I don't use it much. If you get Cyberon Voice Commander it will have more than just voice dialing, because Cyberon also make something that's just for making calls.
It does have music capability, which I don't use because I don't like WMP.
Edit: Here's a screenshot of the program, showing you what you can say.
I hear you about WMP. If only i could get MS voice commander to use core player!

Yeah, it would be great and I've searched high and low for a fix but there doesn't seem to be one. If only there was a simple reg hack...
It's funny, voice command was a big deal on WM maybe over 5 years ago, and then it seems the developers just gave up on it. But now that the iPhone has it and Android is adding it maybe some new voice programs will pop up for WM.
