Hi, just wondering if anyone has one big cab that would install a nice amount of free and handy software? Be good if one exists that has the best of the useful like converters, music player/media player, games and system utilities?
Obviously I could spend the time searching for and installing each individually but wondering if someone has compiled an application pack containing a load of good software like those found pre-installed in cooked roms.
Thanks!
Define what do you mean by goodies?
Hi thanks for replying. Basically I have flashed a rom that didn't come with that much with regards to extra apps and so although I could install extra stuff individually, wondered if someone had complied an application app pack with useful apps like a converting tool, decent media player (like core player), gps tools, photo editing tools, ring tone making mp3 trimmer, games etc.
Essentially, all the essentials!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973 it's not a pack but you can find a lot of good stuff here.
thanks for that!

I've searched around and found a few posts but so far nothing has worked.
Here's my scenario. I've got a PBX with Unified Messaging capabilities, these messages are encoded using ADPCM, now the distributor for the PBX includes a coded for windows machines to play the ADPCM format they use, however from what I can tell there is so far (that i've found) no coded for windows mobile.
What options do I have for playback of these audio files? I can't really change the output of the PBX (i could but then file size would become an issue since ADPCM is really good at compressing telephone quality voice). As I mentioned earlier I do have the windows codec, is there anyway to port it to work on Windows Mobile 5?
I have tried a few of the players listed here, however they don't want to play those Wav files... so I wonder if its a customized ADPCM codec their using...
Anyways I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks~
I know what your looking for, and more importantly, due to extensive research I know where to find it.
Yes you are looking for the legendary G SPOT.
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
Its a great little app, no install necessary. It identifies the codecs used for audio and video files.
My advice, have a play.. you cant go wrong.
Ahh, thankyou very much.
Looks like its using Dialogic OKI ADPCM which I kinda doubt has mobile support but I'll dig around and see what I can find.
I dont really understand the sytem you have nor what your trying todo with the audio files it produces.. I assume to semi automated retreival/listening to them.
From a quick scan of the codec databases people are having huge problems obtaining this OKI thing for regualr windows. no mention at all of a mobile codec for oki.
Or there is this , which isnt really automated but it will allow you to play and convert the OKI's to a format your ppc can use.
http://sox.sourceforge.net/
As they have the soruce code available, you could spend the summer modding a ppc version ..
Or another option, they have the atariST executables, which you could run on a atari emulator hither. http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=767
Good luck keep us posted.
Thanks for the link.
Your correct, the system automatically attaches their voicemail and emails a copy to them. conversion's not really an option but I might just have to go that route. OKI makes some pretty small wav files (200-250k per min) so thats what makes it great for this application. Im also going to pester the distributor of this voicemail to see if they've tweaked it any for such an application.
I´ve been thinking this for long but since I cant code anything I decided to make a request on this forum. Everyone who played Wario Ware on the Nintendo DS knows what kinda fun it is for touchscreen devices to play short quick minigames. My idea is to create something similar like this. As example a minigame appears for about 3-5 sec and then a loading screen switches to the next minigame which could be done in "modules" so the community can also create their own games There are billions of different ways the games can have. I have some nice ideas in my mind which I tried to draw in few cheap screenshots. I also made a video to demonstrate the interaction.
So is any programmer/dev interested in doing this? I guess Im not the only one which would appreciate the work
Thanks for future replys and feedback!

I was impressed with the funny and inovative games that the DS came up with.
Flash would be a great tool for this on future machines, on the current ones its simply too slow for the animations.
a DS emu wouldnt hurt either.
The concept looks amazing.
+1 for this thread.
Wow, yesterday i was playing wario ware and was thinking the same thing...
It would be great if someone makes this
3 months and still no useful progress?
Come on guys...
No progress because nobody is working on this ;/
The easier way to do this is in Flash, there are a lot of online flash games out there already. Just grab a few examples and stich them together.
Like this example...
FINGER:
TO USE:
--------
- Just copy the EXE into your device and run it.
- Up or DOWN to change quality, ENTER to exit application.
- The time is still buggy... :/
This is not my game, its a online game I found, I just changed it a little for our devices.
Needs flash 7 (not lite, not buggy lite, not lite and a half, seven!).

Nice. How do you convert flash games to run on ppc? (btw, why is it not that smooth?)
Thanks for the quote, I would never understand what you ment whithout it, lol.
I use SOTHINK DECOMPILER to turn the SWF into FLA
Then FLASH CS4 to optimize the file, rotate it/add more options/sounds/bigger buttons/etc
And finally Bryht FlashApp Builder to turn the swf into a WM EXE.
Its kinda smooth on my 400 mhz machine, not as smooth as it is on my PC, of course. Flash isnt great on low mhz devices or bad video drivers (hint, HTC)...
Oooh... that explains a lot. I'm using a HTC Touch HD. Absolute horrendous video drivers.
Now i'll go try and convert some games
@ twolf:
Thats a nice Game / flash and exact the kind of stuff I was looking at... Well the idea of using flash is brilliant!
Maybe someone´s able to create a main executable which loads those flash modules so it can be a fluent game switch as like in "wario ware"...
Im thinking big of this
hey, twolf, for some reason the bryht flash player couldnt convert the swf to ppc exe format it only converts it to PC projector format. Could you say, help me convert this
http://www.funny-games.biz/paper-toss.html ?
You need to export it on flash 6 or 7.
Yeah, its a flash 7 swf movie. However when I publish it on bryht flashapp builder, it comes out as a PC .exe file which cannot be run on my ppc
Would be nice to have a collection of Flash Apps converted to our phones. Flash is a powerful thing. I love working in flash. There are also some great apps to be made. Most of the apps on the iPhone are basically flash based.

yeah, maybe you could provide a list of games which are ppc friendly so they can be converted?
Again...
Is it possible to create those games as kinda like "modules" so we dont have to exit and run each time to switch the apps ?
A simple "gallery chooser" can be done, but the flashes would need to follow certain rules. So, yes its possible, now bring it on...
Hello everyone.
My wife recently picked up a Tilt2 and is migrating from her Palm TX.
She is looking for a replacement for Pocket Money, Pocket Quicken, and something else I've forgotten the name of but she's looking at SPB Pocket Plus, Pocket Finance Diary lite (from mobile9.com), and CryptoWallet, none of which did I find listed in Apps thread.
If anyone has used these apps are they not worth the cost? Are there any simular apps that perform better for less or free?
For games she is looking at Happy Lines, Uno (it is in the Apps list), and Matching Hearts; and would love other recommendations for any Bejeweled-like games. She also would like a music player which has a random play feature. I see several listed in the Apps thread but didnt research enough yet to see which has that.
Thanks for any and all help or comments.

Hey Popa, welcome to this corner of the forums
The only question you asked that I can help with is the media player..I can tell you that the built-in HTC music player has a random play option, and it's a nice simple option if she doesn't need much flexibility. However, most any of the commonly used 3rd-party players (coreplayer, TCPMP, nitrogen, etc) certainly can do that as well, so you just have to gauge what else is important in a media player for her. WMP is also built-in of course, and also not half-bad for basic use.
One more thing to help you out...I'd highly recommend running the two cabs I've attached on her new phone. They change some settings in window's memory management that free up memory much faster when apps and processes are done using it...they'll save you a lot of headache when she would have come to you complaining because her new toy is running like molasses (which could still happen...keeping this phone running smoothly especially regarding memory can be a real challenge). The 3rd cab is up to you, but it's a very helpful utility written just for the Tilt2 called CrudScraper that lets you rip out a bunch of the stock apps (only the ones you choose) and crap that AT&T was nice enough to load it up with for you. It's not a cab though, just run the .exe from her SD card and it's self-explanatory from there. Let us know if you need instructions on running the cabs too.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll get some answers to your other questions soon...but if not, you might want to post in the general windows section of the xda forum since most of those programs will work on a lot more models than just the TP2, and you might get more exposure and response that way
SPB Pocket Plus works fine and syncs with Money. I liked the old money client you used to get better but it gets the job done.

Hmm, are you sure you're not confusing Pocket Plus with something else (e.g. SPB Finance)? Pocket Plus is more of a system utility, that doesn't sync with anything. Besides, not all features of Pocket Plus are compatible with WM6.5, so that's something else to take into account.

i have a question:
1. NoPushInternet_v2.CAB - where do you install device or storage and do you do anything after install, also do i leave the installed cab on my device or can i uninstall it with its done?
2. SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab - same question?
thanks

Install them both to the device, they're very small, and then once you do that you can delete the cab if you want...though I recommend keeping a copy on the SD card of any cabs that you use, so you can reapply them easily if you ever hard-reset. These automatically run in the background once installed, no need to manually start anything.

I have been running these cabs for a few weeks now. it seems they stop working after a while. I have noticed my mem usage was in 65-70% again and even after a soft reset, stil up there. Only thing that works is reinstalling the SSK TP2 cab then miraculously back down to 49%. Am i missing something on keeping these running in the bckgrnd? i mean i dont mind reinstalling but feel kinda silly doing it over and over.
Thanks

Hi Folks,
I hope I am not being lazy here, but I have looked around for a few days through many of the related forums to the HTC HD2 and Windows Mobile forums.
What I am interested in would be adding functions to the music player on the HD2.
I listen to a lot of audio books and have tried some of the (rather useless) audio book add-ons or stand alone apps for the phone. One or two of them just showed a list of books that would not or could not open; others just would not open at all or could not load on the phone.
Thinking laterally, as I do, the issue is I don't want a new app or an add-on to the tabs already available, just a change / addition to what is there already.
The Music Tab, great place to start. Why can't we have a little button the rewinds the book, or any other audio file, back 30 seconds every time you tap it. And why does the player not hold on to “where you stopped listening" and start from that point when you start play again later. A media book mark if you like.
So here is my request;
1. Can these be added to the music player? I do not have the skills to even work out if it is possible.
2. Could one of the many well accomplished coders who frequent the site manage to take this one. would it be a allot of work? Can it be added as a cab install?
I wish I knew the answers to at least one of these questions. You guys seem to be able to tweak and mod everything else on the phone. Or do I just need to learn coding, hacking or making .aa files from mp3s.
Hope someone can answer this, I for one think it would be a great addition to an already great phone.
Thanks guys (non-gender salutation)

i am using cloudy 0.7 wm6.1 with manila 2.5.20183025.0 and i never really used the music tab before, in fact i deactivated it and always used coreplayer to listen to music and books on tape.
now i decided to give it another go and face some questions about that tab/player:
1. how do i exclude folders from the library or define certain files to be the sole library? i don't want hundreds of tracks from my audiobooks in there, just music.
2. i read of people mentioning sense's capabilities of downloading album art but i can't seem to find any option for that.
btw. if anybody knows a nice freeware/open source program (for windows pc) for automated sorting and renaming mp3s based on internet databases like cddb, where you have to check and do manually as little as possible, it would be very nice. unfortunately, most of my music is highly unsorted, and all programs i tested so far need to much work on the user side to not totally mess up and that way it would take me ages to get my stuff sorted out.
thanks
Tony
EDIT: additional information:
i realize, not exactly many people seem to use that rom these days, so to further clarify what version of the player this is all about, i attached some screenshots, so basicly anybody with the same version could drop some advice here

I cannot help with the HTC sense stuff, but i can recommend MP3tag I have used it for years to keep my music library in order.
It does need a bit of user input but i have found it very helpful, it is especially good at making sure all tags follow the same format & making sure that all data is in the correct fields, it can also import album art from a number of places.
I agree about mp3tag (I'm using it for years too), but...
mp3tag helps if music archive is at least partially organized... or you have a lot of time
But once you organize it... man, you can do with mp3tag small wonders...
I have never seen mp3tag downloading album art from anywhere
Still, I'm highly recommending mp3tag (check screenshot)
