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.

Hey guys,
I've been trying really hard to get a games folder or button in my programs launcher, but the menu doesn't exist under Spb Customise Menu.
I can only Add "My Menu" and then under that a games directory, but i've read many other posts where people say they have it already in their Customise menu list and just need to tick the box to get it.
I'm currently using Greatbal's Diamond theme for SPB MS 2.1 on an HTC Touch Dual.
Any suggestions?
I'd really like to have one folder with all my games as some have installed in weird places (when I haven't been able to tell it where to install).
Any help or advise is appreciated.

as cruel as it sounds- you shouldn't post an entire new thread for something like this..instead try searching like the person who did it for you in the above post

i acknowledge that, and if it's appropriate i have no dramas with this thread being deleted.
i did happen to look at both of those links before posting. all 1 million posts. haha. and didn't see the answer i was looking for.
i probably just missed it i guess. but i really didn't post without having a look first.

what he means is that if you encountered a problem regarding a specific program, it is more promptly suitable if you post it in the same thread/s regarding the application instead of opening a new one.
i know a new thread will gather more attention but surely it will not guarantee instant or faster answers than replying onto an exsisting thread.
also, there is the Q&A thread so if you have specific (and isolated) questions, you should post it there and hope that someone answers.. that is why it is called QUESTION and ANSWER.. not ANSWERS are here thread.

sincere apologies guys.
i'll delete this one and put it in the Q&A thread

Newbie question about Touch HD

Newbie here, please be gentle!
Recieved a Touch HD the other day and really happy with it.
But would like to add new themes and things like that, maybe instead of using the TouchFlo that is on there.
I don't know what to look for though or anything like that.
Can anyone give me a link to a idiots guide or something?
I can install apps ok. But whats all the stuff about ROMS etc?
Thanks,
Craig

Best advice I can give you is to read the wiki and most if not all your questions should be answered.
If you don't like Touch Flo other options are available like SPB Shell etc.
For themes etc do a search in Themes, Applications and Software
Always do a search before you ask questions as generally most newbie questions have already been asked
i.e. the thread at the top of Blackstone [REF] Don't Start A New Thread - Blackstone Questions & Answers Here!
EDIT
This thread also has info on TF3D vs SPB

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.

How do i install themes on my touch hd?

Hi
Please could someone tell me how i install themes on my touch hd? If someone could tell me what sofware i need and where to get them it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Please use the find function first, there are several threads on this...

i have treid and i still dont understand, maybe ive been lookin in the wrong places.

First of all, your query is theme related so should be in the Themes, Applications and Software forum.
Secondly, once you're in this forum go to search option and type in 'Theme' or 'themes' etc and you'll be presented with theme options!! The wiki also provides info on how to modify your HD's appearance.
Thirdly, in future try a little more searching!!

firstly - thank you
secondly - i did do alot of searching
and thirdly -

Well obviously you didn't search very hard as the Themes, Applications and Software forum is full of themes and installation methods
Just did a quick search and found Maxycy's theme maker v2
Also, no need for language. People in this community do share knowledge and help each other. I pointed you in right direction and you throw it back in my face!! Then you say you did a lot of searching? I for one don't believe you!! Tried searching myself and after 2 secs after I found something!!
Mod Edit: Removed Negative Comment

adz_rolls no need for the comment you made. You were pointed in the right direction. Consider this a warning in the future it could result in a temp/perm ban. Thread closed

Let's play nice, no need for name calling
Question answered - Thread closed.

What Fallen spartan is trying to do, in his own way is try to get new members onboard of the XDA spirit of researching and reading to get done what they are trying to do.
Sometimes there just is no anwser to a question but most of the time you will find it documented somewhere.
It is known that the Forum search is not the best in the world.
That's why there are some tips to be found on the forum on how to search XDA using Google.
Or you can try the custom XDA search Plug inin my Signature.
The good thing is that Fallen Spartan did not need to resort to NameCalling.
