applications

Is there a list of apps that are perfectly compatible with the ameo?
I have tried a few apps and utils such as wisbar advance and spb mobile shell but they seem to have side-effects which alter the the ameo's reliability.
I even had an issue where the camera wouldnt load while spb mobile shell was installed.
So if anybody knows what software best compliment the ameo please let me know!

on my side I am happy with the test with Pocket Informant, pocket slides.
Bad expertise with pocket hack master. Times bad expertise with the print software coming with the device, I think is due the wifi is a little special on athena.
Resco explorer last version creates problems -I think is due too much options on network- managing files in other network computers.
Expensepro runs fine, except the problem with the screen if you rotate it.
About hw, I own a jabra bt8010 and no caller id support, I think is a problem of the bluetooth stack that jetware doesn't solve.

I have manage to quite a lot of programs working, yes some have bug and side effect, but there is always a solution to it. Pocket hack master works too. Actually you will find most of the good application out there works fine with Ameo, there is only very small amount that doesn't work

functional applications...
The following is a list of programs that I've installed on my x7500 which haven't yeilded any problems:
- Vito Audio Notes
- CorePlayer
- PocketXMRadio
- SlingPlayer Mobile
- IM+
- pRSSreader
- Sniffi
- WiFiFoFum2
- WM6 Remote Desktop
- Google Maps (just haven't gotten the GPS to work on it)
- Microsoft Live Search
- Pocket Informant
- eWallet
- AE Button Plus
- Check Notifications (I think this caused ActiveSync to stop working so I would caution against installing this)
- Magic Button
- Resco File Explorer/RegistryAddon/FTP Addon
- SmallMenu Plus

- VGAToggle (buggy aesthetics but no system issues as of yet)
- VJBigPhoner
- Gentimer (just installed and testing still)
Edit #1: Just installed 'HIMILAYA WM2k5 Screen Rotate Fix v1.1' which so far works as expected.
Let me know if you need specific versions for any listed items.

maybe you made some special thing, maybe related other sw in your athena, with it. In my case extend aditional seconds the startup and frozen it. Tested all the possible configurations of speed and memory.
For me this program doesn't provide any help on speed or performance except nice rings when start -if doesn't frozen-. Previously, in my universal it was great, but not in x7500, but obviously is my case...

mine hasn't that option (or I can't find it). It is htc x7500 and local language. Rom is 1.25.412.2. I think it manages automatically the performance under battery and not needed aditional magmt.

Don't think so. Let me know if you're interested in knowing the version of any app in particular.

Wifi troubles
I don't know if this is your case but since I replaced the jasjar with HTC I have at home wifi network access problems some times. It navigates by internet without issues but when I try to access to other pc disks shared times it sees and times not.
Some infraestructure -pc, access points, ..., no changes-
with the last version of resco explorer was impossible to share information with other pc, with the previous one is intermitent. And same problem with the software for printing in the network, times see the shared resources and times not.

I'm using Resco Explorer 2005 and having no problems using WLAN shared drive etc (other than it not remembering the password for my NAS but it always did that.)

Phoenix Studio 1.1 works, but you need to make sure you're in portrait mode and exit it before attaching the keyboard, otherwise touchscreen input goes a bit wrong and you'll have to exit the application by starting another one and going to the "Running Programs" panel.
Sounds good, too, with the speakers in the Ameo!
Pocket Commodore Plus4 works quite nicely on it for BASIC, but the emulation drops to cripplingly slow speeds when any input is used - shameful for what should be one of the fastest devices on the market.

Can't use any third party keyboard software

I've tried to use several third party keyboard applications, but none of them will work.
The software installs OK, and the option to select the keyboard is in the dropdown box next to the keyboard icon on the screen, but I can not select the third party keyboard. I can select any of the other input options no problem.
I've tried five different third party keyboard programs now, and none of them work. Any ideas why?
Thanks

Maybe you are low on memory? Try to remove homescreen plugins, reset device and try again. Also you could find Default_IM_WM5.CAB on this forum in order to set default SIP (keyboard) automaticaly at startup.

I have exactly the same problem,
I tried resco keyboard and calligrapher, but impossible to use them (they apear y keyboard select and can select, but do not open)
it's not memory, as I use a XDA flame (2Gb rom /128Mb ram)
and Default_IM_WM5.CAB did't work
I removed spb pocketplus with no results
any other solution?
maybe some registry modification?
thanks

Same here.
Tried pmkeyboard, Spb Full Screen Keyboard and Zoomboard.

Same issue here
I've installed the spb fullscreen keyboard, resco, HTC softkey, and one other and I am having the same problem. I thing the registry is corrupted from all the adding and removing of kb's. Are you guys experiencing a very slow response when you hit the triangle to choose an alternate input method.

1. try upgrade to wm6
2. disable as many today items as you can
3. disable unused services in the registry
4. clean up unused startup programs
5. finally, if all the above won't work, backup and hard reset.

Yes, very slow response in the keyboard triangle selector,
but the rest of functions and applications go fast,
so it's not a memory problem
one more key:
if I choose resco keyboard with IMselector, and then uninstall IMselector, after next soft-reset I'm able to use resco keyboard (not callygrapher).
but in next soft-reset again the problem of impossible use of any third party keyboard ....
it's really extrange....

Finally I discovered the cause of the problem:
all the SPB products (pocket plus, phone suite, weather,...)
hope SPB fix this bug soon, as they are good products...

actually its more of a ms design bug than any particular product. the driver memory is quite limited by design - if too many service or dlls loaded, sip don't have the needed memory to run.

that has more sense....

I had same problem. After I updatet to WM6 moste SIP worked just fine. I strongly recomend to upgrade to WM6, the phone works a lot better since then (memory problems etc).

Yes, these are great apps, but I too have had quite a few problems with them - once requiring a hard reset after I tried their finance software.

SIP Change
The problem occurs because some AKU2 based service or process is changing the SIP back to the keyboard. This happens 4-8 seconds after startup programs run. As such, SIPChange is a workaround of sorts because when it runs at startup it waits 10 seconds before changing the SIP to your selected default.
This fixed it for me...

Palm OS emulator on Shift??

Hi,
I was wondering if any one has tried using a palm emulator on their Shift and if so which program. I tried running a program called styleTap on the Win Mobile side but o luck and the program just freezes up when opened. I am looking to run programs from a treo 680 which is one of the latest Palm software if I am not mistaken. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It's possible
StyleTab (shareware) works on the Shift!
To get it working you need QuickMenu (free) once.
Install QuickMenu
Install StyleTab and YOU CAN'T REACH OK on the nag screen!
Open QuickMenu and turn screen right.
The StyleTab screen is completely displayed.
Goto Optons-display size and choose original.
Restart StyleMenu
Turn screen back to narmal orientation
(Delete QuickMenu)
Install all your palm apps but hacks.
Enjoy your original size IIIc on this big screen.
Start paying after 14 days...

re
Thanks man I am going to try this and post comments.

Turn screen BEFORE installing StyleTab or the WM side freezes...
But after a restart from Vista side you can still turn the page and start StyleTab again.
I like it as most programs work (NO hacks, NO DA files)

re
I tried this and now I can see the OK button but for some reason I cannot click on it?? any thoughts? Also which version are you using?

I use the pocket pc version from http://www.styletap.com/downloads.php
The smartphone version uses keys only!
At the moment I'm reinventing my IIIc on the Shift...

re
Hi,
That is the one I am using, but not able to do anything, for some reason the alignment is off too. If i want to click register I need to click way higher than where the actual button is. What other software do you have installed? any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Map Button to Htc Task Manager

Hi everyone, I have been following this forum for a while but this is my first question:
I am happy with the task manager that comes with our Hds but... it only shows the running programs when one is at the home page.
I'd really like to be able to switch task from anywhere (any running program).
Can this be achieved in any way? I would be happy if I could map a button with AEBPlus to perform it.
Thanks in advance

I am wondering about this too. I find i have to switch from program to another program quite often. Not having to go to the home page to switch would be a good thing for me.

Try PBar 1.5,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483771&highlight=Pbar+1.5

Yes, I have successfully used pBar in the past with other devices...
...but it seems like a bit of a pity that we have to install yet another 3rd party application (no matter how light it is) to do something that software that is already installed in our devices is (potentially) capable of, ain't it?
I have tried AEBPLus with no luck, more ideas?

Any solution so far? Does anyone know what's the command line for htc task manager?

I'd recommend magicbutton (freeware). Its always the first app I install on a fresh WM device. It works in any application that isn't "fullscreen". So if you can see the system menu at the top of the screen you can use it. Has an optional simple single pixel battery power meter on the top of the screen too that I always use.

Screen Orientation

The one thing that irks me the most about my Imagio is that the screen will only go to landscape for the camera, the VCAST TV, and the Internet Browsers. With anything else only portrait is available. I would really love to be able to make it go landscape for other programs. I have found a couple of free routines that will set the phone to do this but they won't work because the Net Framework on the phone is the wrong version (go figure an older version of Framework would be placed in the most up to date version of windows). Can anyone tell me what is the best routine that will allow me to toggle landscape mode at will on the Imagio?

or just download the new .net framework

Thank you so much. I'll try what was listed. Does anyone know why the latest .NET CF isn't installed in Win Mo 6.5? Why would Microsoft not have the latest in the latest OS?

I have 3.5 installed on mine and I'm using Gyrator 2 to rotate my screens around
Great plugin

Well I followed the instructions for editing the registry and changing the orientation for the TF3D screens works great. Now what about the other programs such as Word and Excel? Do I have to do all the same registry edits for those or only part of the edits? Thanks for all the help guys. I'm about to get the phone the way I like it.

Was 3.5 already installed on your device when you bought it or did you have to install it? How do I find out what version of .Net CF is install on the phone?

I don't know what version I had

I found by using gyrator and changescreen for screen rotation is buggy, slow, and sometimes pages seem to get scrambled. I don't need rotation in all apps that's why I installed g trigger, available here. I have it set up to jerk the phone from side to side and this toggles screen orientation. I also set it up to have the dialer come up when you flick the phone forward and to close programs when you flick it away. It really works great, no crashing. And there are no accidental orientation change. Not to mention it saves you the "phone" softkey and you don't have to try to hit the "X" in the corner anymore. Try it, it is a cab install, and removes completely if you don't like it.
