Try to get this as a sticky---Best apps for different uses

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.

Designer desperately seeking developer to create TF3D RSS Reeder

As a frequent RSS user I still didn't find an RSS Reader which uses the snappy interface and touch friendly buttons of TF3D. So I created some screens hoping an enthusiastic developer feels challenged to create an ultimate RSS reader for TF3D.
Some requirements should be:
Import feeds from OPML file and/or sync with Google Reader
Update All, Update Channel or update Feed seperately (conveniant when using roaming abroad)
Auto update (every .. minutes/hours/days) and notify when new items arrive
... And more
A great wish would be to add the program in the tab structure in TouchFlo.
So the big question is: Which developer feels the urge to create this baby????
If someone feels this urge, I will make more screens, but I first want to know if there's somebody out there who wants to help me...

Hmm that's a good idea, especially love the "sync with google reader" part, browsing google reader on opera mobile is just plain madness.!
Love to see this becoming a real program! Hope someone will help you out nielsepiels!

yeah ! good idea !

Hi,
I'm waiting for it....
BYE, Bobo

hopefully it will become true..i know people in this forum are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really good idea!!!

Got my vote too - I could offer my services beta testing on my AT&T Fuze - I would definitely donate for this - Heck, I'll give someone a few bucks as soon as i see a beta!

same.. i would def donate some money for this, was thinking of something like this the other night.

anythings better than RSS Hub - buggy as hell with its constant freezes

maybe this is the right place to post it.......i would love to develop such an application (and other tf3d plugins) but i didnt find any documentation on tf3d development so far......the only thread where someone asked for a documentation is only available in google-cache with no answer posted....
maybe you guys or someone who reads this thread do know where to find tf3d-dev-docs...
thx!

TF3D is developed in Lua. D-MAN666 is one of the few guys who knows how to edit TF3D and develop TF3D applications, like his calendar application.

@ Nielsepiels & Mandragore: THX!!

wow, this looks cool. would be awesome if you could code this app. and props to the thread starter, nice screens!
I think we need more threads like this. that way we get more finger friendly and nice looking apps!

Hi guys , i'm sure it's a very useful idea.
I'm thinking about coding this (i'am learning on mobile coding) , waiting for any suggestion , so let's go for making this cool stuff.
ps: sorry for my bad english ;-)

Came across this thread and thought it was worth reviving

There was a thread about this a long long time ago, but I think people just forgot about it. Its such a good idea - and yet HTC havent even mentioned any RSS enhancements for the new version of TF3D on Diamond2, etc :s. I hope someone can make this - they would definately get a donation from me for it

Upping this to see if there are any developments.

I wonder if the email tab on TF3D can be "tweaked" to receive RSS headlines instead of sending and receiving from an email account?
I'm going to try and found out how that tabs is put together it might offer some ideas.
I'd love to be able to flick through the headlines/stories from my favourite feeds like you do with text messages or even better have a "ticker" running across the screen with the latest news..... that would be cool

What's with TF2D/manilla 2d and landscape?

This was my 3rd topic in Q&A, and my second topic in Q&A with plenty of views and no replies. I'm starting to think the developers don't even look at Q&A. So i'm posting here.
Hey guys, i'm currently using TF2D on my Tilt and i have the landscape settings installed, made by btprice.
I've noticed that it is about 60% functional. However the messages, contacts, music, and email tabs all display nothing.
Pictures,home, and settings all display their tab but are not scaled and positioned for landscape mode.
Weather and programs tabs are completely functional. I haven't tried location though.
Now, i was thinking of fixing the images for landscape mode. but upon reading the forums a little bit more, i saw the diamond gold blend theme. the author stated that manilla2d will never be fully landscape(I can link to the post if needed). Does anyone have an answer as to why this is?
I would really love to get TF2D in landscape, and i'm willing to help with the graphics. mbarvian's alternative(even though he did a great job) is just too slow for me.
thanks!

Some of the tabs don't have landscape support in the xml file, while some do. Best of my knowledge, htc never released a tf2d on a device with sliding keyboard, hence the reason for not having complete landscape support included or files to get it from. It would probably take someone rewriting part of the tf2d plugin to enable it. So leaves you where you are, either using a workaround(mbarvian style) or having some tabs that you can't get to work or can't get the layout perfect on.

whats with posting in the wrong section?
@other members, do not reply to these threads it encourages people to continue posting in thew rong sections, if you want to help you can pm a mod to remove it. Thanks for your cooperation.
QUESTION GO IN THE Q AND A SECTION. PERIOD.

[REQ/DEV] [WM 6.5] Titanium CStocks

WM 6.5 has really opened the doors for some nice development for panels. Much like the existing Touch Flo 3D, panels can be developed to show your favorite....well anything. Already great work on weather, fave people, opera, twitter, facebook, ms office, programs, settings...colors, themes...etc!!!
One of the things I love most about TF3D is the stocks tab. I have started to tinker with a stocks panel for Titanium, but wanted to get a tab started for any who may have input, or have begun development themselves. I have been playing around with the cprs, bronzeres, and colors for some time, but this is my first past at creating a new panel from scratch. The good news for me is many have laid some tremendous groundwork to help make this an easier process.
My plan is to link the existing msn finance widget in 6.5 to the panel. The plan is to show the details of each stock pick from msn widget to the titanium custom panel. I am in the process of mocking something up just to post what I am thinking soon.
Moderators...gods of xda...please keep me honest as I am not actually posting any dev just yet. If I am out of line, please accept my apology in advance and shut me down, but kindly please don't lock me out.
Thanks....more to come!

If I knew where to pull data from seperate program I would try this. Maybe in the next week or 2. Does anyone else wanna jump this one?

+1 for stock widget
instead of msn money should be better using yahoo finance, by far more complete... titaniumweather use mortscript to fetch accuweater data, will be possible make this widget same way?

This might work if you set it up like Showaco is doing his radar for TitaniumWeather.

i am with you here man... i would give away TF3d if I can get a stocks plugin for WM6.5 good idea.... great idea...

There is a FRENCH stock titanium panel.
You can analyze and modify this for your convenience.
Go to http://www.jmlacou.com/wpJML/?p=15

Is there any update on the app?

With the current advancements in plugin developments, this would actually be an easy one to make. it's just a matter of reading rss feeds from stock websites. I'll see if i can make some time next week and look into this.

The French version looks perfect. I only know basic French words. I poked around on the site some and I cant understand. I am going to try a translator or a friend who knows French. Does anyone have any pointers?

The new Forum GUI doesn't work on HD2

First of all: I like this forum, it is really a good place to find and exchange informations. Congratulations to the team!
But the new layout/GUI of the forum sucks! At least, when you try to do it with your mobile device.
Usually I go with my HD2 in the forum. Normally through a Post, which I have received through the RSS Feed. If I'm interested in the thread, I subscribe to it.
But with the new layout it is not possible to click and open the thread tools. Just nothing happens.
And especially for a forum which is about mobile devices, this is an absolute NoGO!
Some technical details - I use
- HTC HD2
- StockROM 1.66.407.1
- Opera Mobile 10
- CHT 1.8
Would be really good, if anyone could find the bug.

Hi,
when i use my HD2 with Wifi, i can read the board. It needs some time to load, but it is possible.
But when i'm on the way and try to load it over GPRS or UMTS (if available), it loads only some little parts and then stops. So i can maybe read the first one or two postings of a thread.
With the "old" layout all was fine and easy. So i think, the new layout is not really mobile-campatible.
For the users it should be possible to change the layout between the currently and a mobile-friendly modus.
Greetings
Hardy

I actually contacted the Owners/Mods about this, the reply was, in a nutshell, "A mobile version is on the list, but a lot of stuff going on right now, so it is not a priority" ...
I am sure they will get to it at some point, but I did see somewhere a way to switch back to the old view ... hmmm will have to look for that again ...
EDIT: under http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions , the very last option choose the custom skin ... it is the old version ...

Hmm. I can't recall having any issues with the new skin on opera 9.7.

Running also great here on Opera 9.7 .

I don't read it much on my HD2, mostly on the PC. One thing I hate though is the threads I've replied in don't show up as so when there's new post even though there's suppose to be a little down arrow in the thread icon. The icon does show if there are no new post though.
