Hello,
As i will be getting my Exec (hopefully) tomorrow, i thought this topic would not only help me greatly but also others.
What are the first ten things to do when you get your new exec?
e.g
1) Get a case
2) Install Software (name here) to use it as a TV remote
Thanks folks
Since this is going to be different from person to person, why not just check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31697
It covers most/all questions...
Here's what I did:
1). Get case - recommend Proporta Alu-Leather
2). Get screen protector - recommend Martin
3). Get GPS System - recommend BT-338
4). Get Car Mount - recommend Brodit/Proclip
5). Get SD Card - recommend 2-4GB
6). Get system tools software - recommend free software
7). Learn to tweak it - recommend XDA Devs - you guys rock!
8). Get desk charger
9). Get Bluetooth Headset - no recommendations
10). Kick yourself in the ass for spending so much on yourself and nobody else.
There you go. Hope that helps.

I think it's going to be for my husband: "Kick himself in the ass for spending so much on his lovely wife.."
For me, the top ten would be:
1) Get Screen Protector
2) Get Case (im using the soft leather case for the ordinary dictionary/translator... it's the same size, fits perfectly)
3) Get BT headset -- using jabra but i want the one with the lcd display
4) Pair BT with phone - Total Voice Commander
5) Install TCMPM and load your sd with movies
6) Personalize phone - change wallpaper.... Im using a hello kitty wallpaper-- got a right to be cheezy... Makes my dopod less intimidating.. Anyone who opens it says, "how cute..."
7) Load ringtones and Install PocketZenPhone
8) Sync phone with pc (i think this should be #3)
9) Install MSReader and load phone with ebooks
10) Show off discreetly to close friends... I dont want just anybody touching my phone with his grimy hands...
screen protector definitely.
A couple of mundane settings to change:
disable error reporting and
disable receive all incoming beams.
Get your activesync working to get your PIM data loaded.
Definitely consider a bluetooth headset (I use Sony Erickson HBH 662 and I'm happy with it).
Definitely helps to have some program to close programs instead of just minimize them (I use smallmenu).
Get your internet connection working.
Start tweaking, probably best to start with the appropriate section of the universal wiki.
Follow this forum and learn more and more.
Enjoy!!

Hi,
Would you tell me what is TCMPM, and how to get it. Thx
It is a media player. Go to http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/download to download.
Hope this helps

And it's utterly fantastic. a gazillion times better than WMP. Streaming movies over a wifi network without any silly pre-compression/reduction is fantastic.
Big Ups for TCPMP
And the most important thing for me on TCPMP is FULL screen!

On that point - why should we beg/borrow/steal/buy what we need to get a decentOS?
MS is getting lazy - THIS version of Windows Mobile should have come with WMP at least as comparable feature and performance wise as TCPMP. Also a decent task switcher and window closer, like GSPocketMagic, an RSS Reader like Egress, File Explorer like Resco, Pic viewer like Resco, Radio Streamer like Resco, decent Registry Editor, GPRS Monitor type program and so on...
I guess the good side of it is that other programmers are getting income from creating great apps.. apps which are better than MS' creation. It's healthy competition and in the end, we, the consumers, are enjoying the fruits of their labor
Merry Christmas!
Just a short follow up question.
The TCP media player seams to work great on AVI files created with the divx plug in, however, mpeg files play rather badly.
They hang every couple of seconds, jitters and jump.
However, they play nicely with win media player.
Are you others getting this?
Thanks,
Frode
When MS adds something and does something too well, they get sued for Anti-Trust, if they don't, they get complaint at, lose-lose.
MS have been known to put in some really basic software so 3rd party software developers can earn on the full version or better versions of the software.
so can't really blame them.
frodebass, try Pocket TV for playing MPEG. TCMP is really good for DivX, but why use MPEG when it's a space hog?
The first few things I would do are:
1. Don't charge the battery. Use it until its at 20% and then do a fully charge for 8 hours
2. Check for dead pixels on the screen
3. Take a few photos to make sure there are no dead pixels in the camera
4. Don't install a new ROM unless you need to. And if do want to make sure you hard reset before a ROM update
5. Don't install non-WM5 s/w at all. And if you want to install any third-party apps check here at the forum and always use the latest version. In general avoid apps that have Today screen plug-ins as they seem to the source of many problems from what I can gather
6. Show off your new "toy" to your friends/work colleagues!
Hello,
I know this is mostly a personal tastes dilemma, but I am looking to add a few specific functions to my Wizard and I just can't find some solutions to very simple issues. Of course I already searched through several boards and freeware sites, but most of the times I am stumbling on overcomplicated, unreliable, unstable or just plain not-working apps even for the most trivial tasks. Other times they work fine... unless you have any other app installed, in which case they bork up the system royally.
So, what are your freewares of choice for the following functions?
1) ALARM CLOCK
Yes, just a damn simple alarm clock to wake me up in the morning. No fancy tricks: just set it (possibly even on a week's advance), select the sound/Mp3 to be played and be sure it rings up when the time is right. If you want to get luxurious, a snooze function initiated by any hardware button would be nice.
I used M.Toda's AlarmClock 0.04, but it seems to be impossible to select a specific sound or buzzing mode (it's always an ear-splitting MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!), nor to keep using the Wiz when the alarm is set.
[Update: following Pat12's advice (see below) I downloaded the latest AlarmClock version (ARM version) and it works smoothly. No Mp3 alarms yet, though]
2) MP3 PLAYER
Just the very basic player functions: play the whole folder, add Mp3 to playlist, previous/play/pause/next buttons and a Mute function. What's the problem, you say? Well, all the players I found either blocked the phone functions (a player going on auto-hold on incoming calls would be wonderful), or would keep the touchscreen always active, making it impossible to put the Wiz in a pocket while listening to music.
[Update: The current best candidate seems to be Tcpmp, although it lacks a full graphic interface (meaning Previous/Next song buttons)]
3) WARDRIVER
Yes, I know. But WiFiFoFum hasn't any user-friendly way to select which available AP to hook to. HitchHiker does, but any time I launched it after the first one it made the Wiz unstable. That was on a non-updated ROM, though... I admit I have to check it again... unless you suggest anything better.
4) LAUNCHBAR
Nonononono... no l33t, gigacustomizable stuff, please. I simply need a self-starting thingie to have the icons for the Office apps and maybe the latest X opened apps always on my Today screen. If you've seen the "green" UK ad campaign for WM5 - that's exactly what I'm looking for.
5) ANTITHEFT APP
[edited: the correct name happens to be EyeOnThief, see below]
I used to use LockOnThief, which supposedly sends tracking SMSs to a hidden number list whenever a non-approved SIM card is inserted in the device. Great. Just one more thing would make it perfect: the ability to remotely wipe the device via SMS.
I know this is an AKU2 trick, but I've got no Exchange server so I'd like a simpler approach. Do you know any solution encompassing both the tracking and the wiping functions?
And, by the way, has anyone of you actually field-tested LockOnThief tracking abilities?
6) WI-FI "G" ENABLER
I'd simply like to enable the 802.11g protocol on my Wizard. The problem is: the Djvw Wizard Optimizer 2 seems to make my Wiz unstable, and Registry Wizard crashes on start (yes, I installed the other Cab too). What other layman's solution would you suggest?
[Update: thanks to Meschle (see below) now there is an optimal Cab-tweak for enabling the protocol!]
To give a little contribution, I can only give my undivided suggestions for four softwares I fully endorse:
SCROLLING - You guessed right, it's Smartskey! [And not "softkeys" as per my initial post...]
PERSONAL INFO MANAGER - EWallet. Not a freeware, but great in the way it synchs up with its desktop counterpart.
GAMES - PpcAtaxx (a much more interesting variant on the Othello/Reversi theme which is perfect while commuting) and PocketScumm, to play the old LucasArts graphic adventures
Thank you in advance for your help, I'll really appreciate it!
Hi I'll answer a couple of those
For an alarm see 'Wizard reliable alarm project' WRAPhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43692
where there is an english version of pocket wakeup
Enable 802.11G reg tweak
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
All values are decimal
What does this green WM5 ad campaign look like? We yankees have been hearing all about it.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/default.mspx

Can you provide a link for LockOnThief?
SCROLLING - You guessed right, it's Softkeys!
What is this? I'm having issues scrolling in PIE Plus since upgrading to AKU 2.3 and if this is an app i can try it may help. Do you happen to have a link to it?. TIA
Thanks for the first answers. Here are my first replies:
Meschle: I did check that thread, and it seems that Pocket Wakeup isn't very reliable at all... Also (but this is just an aside), the Italian translation of Pocket Wakeup was one of the worst apps I ever tried, totally borking the Wiz.
And about the registry tweak... I'm just a retarded farmgirl... no hacking tricks for me, please... I just can't believe there is no "download, run, forget" apps to enable the G protocol...
Mattucd & vijay555: Yup, that's it!
Romp: http://www.mycnknow.com/LockAppen.htm (My bad: the actual app name is EyeOnThief... I was confused by the actual filename)
Xandermac: Gah! I misquoted the name again! That would be Smartskey! I don't know if Smartskey will do anything for your problem, but it's right on this board, at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060
Any more takers, please?
Alarm Clock: AlarmClockE is the only alarm clock software that is reliable for me, at least for the time being...(until it fails, like all the other I tried including Pocket WakeUp)
MP3 Player: TCMP, it does pause the song or video currently playing upon incoming phone calls

Try mobialarm 3.2 then - I find this reliable and like it because it plays wma's http://guillaume.tristant.free.fr/
btw are you really a farmgirl? :wink:
Meschle: I am actually quite a bit of an IT girl, but sometimes I'd much rather go back to the farm. Case in point: MobiAlarm. To witness:
Installation notes :
- Uncompress the ZIP file in any directory in your PocketPC
- Run the CAB file, it will install a "runtime"
- Run the file called "install.app", it will install MobiAlarm[/url]
MobiAlarm link is located in \Windows\Start Menu\ or \Windows\Menu Démarrer\
The program himself is installed in \Program Files\MobiAlarm\
WHY?!? Why, I ask, should anybody need TWO installations for one godawful simple ALARM CLOCK, forchrissakes? And why does it end up tucked in a forsaken folder, with no icon anywhere? How should I be supposed to remind myself to browse up the Wizard to find a lone file among hundreds... just to get awaken on time?!?
And the punchline? I followed this guy's installation instructions: the runtime went smoothly, and his app simply never appeared anywhere. (my two cents: it found localized foldernames and aborted without any warning message).
Pat12: AlarmClock does the trick!!! No chance to get it playing Mp3s, apparently, but the ARM flavour gets the fade-in working. Thanks!

2) MP3 / video player:
TCPMP, www.tcpmp.org
I doubt better could be made
Thanks for the auto-tweak, meschle!
If only things were always so straightforward...
Kilrah: The link you provided ain't working, but I found this download page for other interested people: http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=53&release_id=224#r224 (the version you want is the "Windows Mobile Smartphone" one).
In fact Tcpmp is very close to perfect. I only found it strangely lacks Previous/Next buttons on the main screen... or is there a plugin or something to get it?
Just a little update to say I recently needed a tool to fix a storage card, and I was pointed to the non-free but very good SK Tools... yay for it!
By the way, any more suggestions for my initial search?
about TCMP, you are right:no next/prev button. But it's highly customizable and you can assign the otherwise useless softkeys to it. I did it and I can operate TCMP without getting the stylus out or using my greasy fingers on my clean screen
Well..I find it's much easier to have clean fingers
Just kidding. TCMP is a true gem.
Mortplayer is a pretty good free mp3 player. Also there is an alarm clock built in, so you can use ur mp3's to wake you up, and it's been pretty reliable for me. Good interface and not very processor intensive.

Hi,
I need testers for my application,
this is my first "full" application that has to do with both pc and mobile through bluetooth.
This is (as the topic states) a application that enables you to control winamp
from your device. (Other mediaplayers can be added too if that's something people want).
The only device it's been tested on is my HTC Artemis (P3300), on windows vista x64.
The windows GUI is very small, it enables you to set the device.
The windows mobile GUI enables you to control winamp.
Screenshots attached.
Links is:
PC App (Auto updating on start).
http://stigatle.net/uploads/blueamp/setup.exe
WinMobile app:
http://stigatle.net/uploads/blueamp/Blueamp_winmobile.zip
(Not auto-updated at the moment, needs manual download)
This is how it works:
1) Pair your devices with windows (as normal)
2) Start winamp
3) start the pc client, search for your cellphone (it will show in the dropdown)
4) Start the winmobile client, search for your PC.
If you find both, then it should work (in theory).
Things that is not finished:
Volume up\down
Playlist editing\listing.
I really hope someone feels this one is usefull.
Please post any issues that rises.
Thank you.
This is pretty cool. There is also a program called salling clicker that uses scripts to control winamp, WMC. itunes etc over blue tooth. I'll give this a whirl. Thanks!
i know also a tool that controlls winamp from the pda.... it is called "media remote" for winamp... it works over usb (activesync) wlan and bluetooth.
this tool also lets you search in your libary on the pc and shows you the tracks on the pda...
but i have to say that this is not a verry stable version
There's also an app called remote amp and it's like the one described in previous post but only over wlan i believe. But works fine.

RemoteAMP is amazing. Controls all WinAmp functions, including multiple instances, even over BT or 3G. I use it on my Vogue all the time. Very quick response time too. Doesn't do much to the battery. When you power off the device, it kills the connection, and comes back up within a second or so.
The only drawback is that if you load an insanely-long playlist, (like 30-40K songs, it can take 10 minutes for RemoteAmp to download the playlist.
RemoteAmp also lets you search your entire library and create playlists. I use this for parties.
I would also love to see an alternative, because RemoteAmp died years ago. I have just held onto my copy, designed for a much older version of CE, but still runs fine on my Vogue.
Hi again,
thanks for the response.
I do realise there are other apps that does this,
but I wanted to learn, and make my own.
Currently working on next version.
Making "Get playing song" now, so that it'll send the current playing song to the mobile.
Spending my weekend developing further.
I got the sending of current song to work now.
Really nice feature if you ask me
See attached screenshot.
I'll upload the new release later today. Need to clean the code first.
My 2 Cents...
You should consider supporting WIFI. I have about 7 computers on my network, all accessable via WIFI, however, only ONE of my computers supports Bluetooth. I'm sure there are alot of people who have WIFI, but don't have a single computer that supports bluetooth.
If you support as many connection options as you can, your application stands a better chance of becoming the defacto standard for Winamp remote control on the PPC.
Thanks for your efforts! Your hard work is appreciated.
Thanks for the input.
I will make WIFI support too.
The reason why i mainly decided to use bluetooth was because
wifi tends to use alot of power on the device.
Still working on the "send current playing song",
I have some trouble getting the string out of the array correctly.
(it adds a bunch of garbage letters to the string, and I cannot figure out where\why). But new release will be out as soon as this is resolved.
New version released.
Various bug fixes.
and added volume adjustment.

The "send to device" option is pretty damn cool!
Can you just stream it instead? I've always wanted a program that could both CONTROL my WinAmp, as well as stream it when I am away...
Does your software tap into the WinAmp library, or create it's own by scanning your hard disk?
Keep up the good work man!

It checks the playlist for current playing song, then get's the mp3 file and sends it directly.
I'm also looking into streaming the audio to the device, so that you can use your phone as a "wireless walkman"
First with bluetooth support.
as well as stream it when I am away...
Do you mean as in using a data connection? WIFI\GSM\3G?
Like stream over web?
thanks for the feedback!
This is a really cool idea. I have a suggestion which might broaden the usefulness of your application. Instead of limiting this tool to just winamp could you expand this to work with any application? On the PC side the user could specify which application (example MyVideoPlayer.exe) you'd like to control. On the PPC side the app could present a matrix of softkeys, each of them could be assigned an action to be delivered to the PC application. Example one of the keys could send a "P" to the application "MyVideoPlayer.exe" which would 'pause' my player.
Anyways just a thought.
Leon.

Personally, my main use would be to stream it over the web.
For controlling purposes, 3G would be ideal, with BT if available. I use 3G for RemoteAmp and it works great
Honestly, if I had to request a feature, I'd love to see a 'sleep' function, and an alarm function. I'd love to lay down to bed, and select a 20 minute countdown of music, all from the phone-without messing with the PC... and even if it were possible to set a wakeup time
I know the wakeup is not as desirable, but the sleep mode is amazing...

Sleep mode is a good idea, I'll look into this one.
The 3G mode has to wait a bit, first I'll continue to add features that are currently missing, then make it more "clean", and debug more.
When the app is fully stable I'll add support for more players.

Nice work. Now get it to work with VLC and you'll be my hero.

I note down the apps that people want it to support, and I'll add one at a time,
first up is windows mediaplayer.
here is another one. i tried it and it works good. also searching in mp3 directory is possible. wlan and bt support. works for me good with wlan
http://mediaremote.freeweb7.com/
Everything should be more in One and in one style and less than a puzzle-Operating-System. More handle, more flowing, more user-friendly.
0. There should be some possibility to Plug-In New Panels for Manila and to switch Panels Off. For example, I don`t need some weather-panel, cause i see this when I go in front of our house, some additional functions would make more sense:
1. Integrated RSS-reader/ news-plugin (like the Email-Overflow-View in Manila.)
2. Media-Player-Plugin for all kind of media (photos and Videos also like MP3, this should support Flv-Youtube-Videos and Livestream-Media too. The player should be aviable by browsing with the windows-browser, instead of mediaplayer and much more aplications.
3. Windows-Mobile-Browser: the scrolling-bar should be invisible! When you go right-edge of the screen with the finger over it, the scroll-bar should appear, it should have always the same size, finger-friendly fat and the background should be half unvisible (so that you see the bar visible in front of the window and the rest, in which the bar is moved, is blended over the window like glass.)
- there should be the possibility for saving Playlists by handling like in the core media player - direct, easy.
4. PDF-Reader: should be integrated in the opera-mobile-browser, scrolling and zooming should be possible also like in opera. The Opera-Browser should be aviable also offline for watching pdf-files. Some E-Book-Manager would make sense for Manila. It should be possible to set bookmarks for every PDF-E-Book with notes for them, which you can share later too and save common with the ebooks, it's uncomfortable to read ebooks with the Acrobat-Mobile Reader. That should be easy and flowing like the iPhone-View.
5. In Opera-Browser should be the function for saving a whole Websession (all opened Tabs in one boomark). You should can open more windows than 3 in one.
- there should be some integrated function, for printing webpages later wireless via bluetooth.
- There should be some possibility to syncronize opera boomarks with active-sync too.
6. It should be possible for the programm-panel to list every programm automated in the shortcut-view.
7. Also at contacts-shortcut, it should be possible to select, that every person has to be listed with a picture, not only some.
8. It should be possible at the phone, to select, that every answered call should be on loudspeakers opened. It should be possible, to select, that the scrolldown for viewing options while calling should be also on one view, without scrolling down, as a standart, so that scrolling isn't needed.
- Add a phonecall/ Number as an apointment should also be possible at Outlook.
9. The Option for Audio-Booster should be aviable also without using a headset.
10. There should be the option, to link the Youtube-Player shortcut at Manila with other Programms, there are Programms too, with which you can record and download clips.
11. Perhaps a shortcut for a painting-panel could be integrated too, so if you scroll to this, you can draw directly notes, like at a sheet of paper.
12. Listening to Music/ Watching whole SD-Card-Movies (insted of DVD) wireless over Bluetooth by streaming Audio and Video to your TV or the Home-Sound-System should be possible, also with Dolby 5.1 Quality and with HD-Movie-Quality (100HZ). That would be really cool to use the Pocket PC as Media-Player and for easy-connect to presentation-Systems like a video-beamer. For this there should be some better processors, better bluetooth, bluetooth-universal-media-stream-formate and recieving components for video and audio, who you can connect to your Home-System too.
13. For Fun, there should be some dejaying-programm for pda, for playing loops and sound-samples on the pda with different effects and on multiple bands at one time. And with synthesizers and a scratching-panel.
good ideas but most of them impossible unless you start programing yourself...
some solutions:
0. there is "manila 2d customizer" M2DC
3. if you meant the file explorer you can use resco's explorer its more functional & customizable
7. in contacts everyone shown with picture maybe you don't have pics for all ur contacts
8. with some programs its possible to set answered calls on speaker so probably there is some registry key for this & i didn't understood what you meant in "scrolldown for viewing options while calling" but everything while calling depends on dialer you have so you can install another dialer
9. for better audio install SRS WOW HD
13. dj programs exist i remember seeing something like this and there are also programs like cubase to make songs i dont remember names but if u search youll find
and the best solution to every problem is search...
I know this is more a developer forum, so can someone please direct me to the right place to post the following (and then lock this thread - or PM me & delete the thread):
As I get more comphy with Android, I'm looking for specific Android apps to match my most common ones I use daily on WinMo. I'm working on searches, but trying to avoid downloading many of the same types of programs to find the best fit.
With that said, I'm looking for apps on Android that match the following WinMo programs:
- Conduits Pocket Player (specifically being able to load a folder of podcasts directly w/o a library, and auto keep bookmarks where I left off. Pocket Player also has a ton of options - basically looking for a loaded Droid player. Oh, also select my location for music library & don't look in any other folder)
- Resco Photo Viewer (ditto on specifying what folder to look into, and the smoothness of having thumbnails of pix)
- Phatnotes for Outlook (haven't yet found out how to synch Notes off Outlook server)
- Yomomedia (currently using as my rss/web updated, but I don't believe that they support Android. I have no problems switching to another service that works for WinMo & Android)
- Phoneweaver (auto audio profile switching - saw a couple freebies on Droid, but have not tested. preferably one that shows current state (day/night/vibrate) on the bar at the top.
- Pocketshield (more powerful lock screen replacement where I can control what is showing and different ways to unlock)
- TCPMP (play divx movies, flash movies from youtube, etc)
Once again, apologies since I believe this to br the wrong place to post - just not sure where to post this. BTW, also in the wrong place since I have seen another thread locked for it - but would be interested in discussing *why* so many people think Droid is better then WinMo. I'm experimenting now, but more along the lines 'cause it's fun to play with something different!
Hi mate,
It might be worthwhile sticking a post in one of the Popular Android phones forums (Desire maybe?) - i'm sure the people there would be more familiar with whats available on the marketplace and better be able to help you with your needs.
Cheers
