Any sugestions welcome. 8)

Coolest App
On top of what has already been said...
After spending weeks on this forum and on Handango this is my hit parade:
DVD:
mMedia: to convert DVDs or any other videos in almost any format. (I haven't tryed yet as I am waiting to buy a large memory card, but from the specs seem the most complete programs while other limits you in term of input or output format)
Games:
Monopoly is gorgeous
Other interesting games are Chopper Alley, TombRider, when anyone finds a decent first person shooter please let me know
There is a C64 Emulator which should enable you to play old commodore 64 games (they where good) unfortunatly I didn't manage to get the app to work on my XDAII, but I haven't tried too hard... it should be possible
Usefull SW:
Ringtonez: to get personalized ringtones by caller
A profile manager: to change the phone settings according to your envirronment and much more... I am still trying to understand which one to choose between PocketZen and Phone Profiles... I have dedicated a post to it but with few responses... help anyone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10168&highlight=
MS Reader: English or foreign language to english dictionaries
HP Mobile Printing
iMove Messanger: Universal Messanger
PocketLingo: if u need a specialized dictionary
ConverterCE (usefull and free)
Must have utilities (they are not cool, but they would make a difference):
-BT Tools: when you face yourself with the limits of the units BT app.
-SpriteBackup: must have back up utility... your device would hardreset, no matter how carefull you are, and even if your contact might be sync a lot of other info and settings are not, so u want to back up and xBackUp is just too slow to be used)
-PocketNav: Close bottons function that really closes apps (free or cheap; does just that and does it well)
-ScaryBear (fix a PPC2003 bug that slows your XDA after every reset, free)
-Wakeup Tweak: fix another bug with PPC2003
Have fun!

well there is doom 1&2 and quake 1 and 2 wolfenstien3d and the second version forget the name spear of destiny or something
and then there is heretic (really got a kick out of that back in the day in MP where you could hex your opponent into a chicken) and hexen (heretic2)
then there are some Fps rpg's around
suppose since counterstrike is based on ½life which is based on quake2 engien it could be portet and i have played it on my laptop in 320_240
it could be possbile to port it and even play online using wifi or gprs
Bf1942 or unreal though i dont think we'll se ports of untill they release windows CE 5 with a directx mobile and mobile mmx

are u loaded with money like i m?if yes,just buy any software n try it out man..wats the worry..
Is there a way to run this game on Omnia 2?
I dont think so, the game is designed for QVGA screen (the only resolution available at the time of its development) and now its too late for Microsoft to update it. I was in love with this game too on my HTC P3400i. :|
You just need GAPI draw for the older windows games
There is a GAPI for wm6.5 cab here in the forums make a search.
Basically before directx for mobile became a working reality, Microsoft worked with another company to produce GAPI draw and this was use by a lot of games.
However MS in its shortsighted wisdom (perhaps to force developers to use directx mobile) removed gapi support in wm 6.5.
Not thinking that many users still have their old games or are about buy older games. AOE III is an excellent example of a great older game.
Asides from this AOE3 maxes out at VGA resolution so use WVGAfix (i forgot the exact name) which is also floating around xda dev so use search.
Im sorry i cant post the links for you as i didnt bookmark them.
Try this software GxPatcher

my tp2 in the tmobile one unlocked so use orange and has an April 2010 version of athenos. are there any games 3d racing, fps, rts and other wise that suport the hardware keyboard and run well on this phone? i hate all the touch only nonsence trying to be an iphone. the difference between hermes and tytn2 with 2button press support was fantastic and if i can use the H/W keyboard it would make up for not having a dpad. I tried tony hawks 2 but runs upsidedown for me and about 5fps which is sad with little discernable difference after i renamed the dll in windows and moved the one in the th2 folder there.
im also gutted hardmarks scrabble doesnt work properly where the botton of the letter tiles is cut off.
finally is there opengl or 3d compatibility with the tp2? experience to date has been a little dissapointing and mobile shell 3.5 is a little laggy
thanks for any help you can throw my way
I've been disappointed by the amount of 3d games for our phones much less windows mobile .
Remember the phone is designed for business, but you can try an emulator. I use FPSEcE for PlayStation games. If you do enough reading on their forums you can get some good games running pretty well.
games
Well there are some fun games but not console type go on google and type
SuperMarioBros windows mobile
Xtracts windows mobile
Gears of War windows mobile
games
Ok there not much games right now for windows mobile but go to this website they have some freeware games made by independent developers like SuperMarioBrosHD , SuperMarioJump,Different pong versions, and Gears of War lite. Its located here
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com
thanks alot for the replies and the links. i found air hocky again something i had on the the tytn 2 but it never played great but it was playable but i was surprised to see it run slower on my tp2.
id love an accerlerometer controlled game like the ps3 game with ducks on a tray whatever it was called it was strangley addictive and great fun to have a try each when its cold n wet out side.
i also really want hankmark scrabble as it is the only properly playable version out there it allows you to move tiles arround freely, look up words the lot all other versions fall way behind but the tiles dont display in their entirety so you cant see what letters you have! such a shame. anyone know a work arround? wvgafix doesnt work just makes it worse.
finally tonyhawks. how DO i flip the screen the other way?

I am in the same shoe as you! I had handmark's scrabble on my old I-Mate JAMin, but when I upgraded to Touch Pro 2 the CD wont install at all. So I bought a new Scrabble off Amazon and that wont work either. It needs "Palm Software" before it can install on my device. Handmark suggested I use a desktop running the XP but that did not work either. Handmark is essentially dancing around the issue of continued support for their Scrabble Software. When I asked them about the Scrabble being sold through 'Handango-in-Hand, they did not respond on that. If anybody here know how to make it work, please come to our aid.
Hi,
So iv asked this question in a few places now and no one seems to even address the question, looks like Genymotion is a none fully working software...
my problem is with Genymotion installed on windows 8 64bit, Arm 1.1 and Gapps installed. the game "Game of War" installed. nothing i do can make this game work ! it simply starts the game and a few seconds later the game shuts by its self... no error given.
I also tried different android versions (4.4.4 down to 4.1.1) from deferment manufacturers (nexus, Samsung, sony)
I would much appreciate any help !
attached you will find the logcat
Genymotion is an emulator. It doesn't have to support all hardware features. Your game most likely is using OpenGL. Genymotion simulate it with hardware that your PC has. Probably there is a problem
DuOS-M is commercial software developed by American Megatrends for Intel x86-based computers using the Microsoft Windows operating system to provide a "dual operating system" environment in which the user can simultaneously deploy the Android operating system in tandem with Microsoft Windows.
DuOS-M supports key hardware peripherals in Windows including cameras, audio, microphone and sensors such as ambient light sensor, accelerometer, gyrometer, compass and orientation sensors. It also supports various screen sizes, resolutions, and screen orientation (portrait and landscape) along with 3D acceleration and HD video playback.
The first version of DuOS-M was released in June 2014. The software is available for download for a free 30-day trial, and is available for purchase for a complete license (currently $9.99 US).

I'm surprised there's no discussion on this in xda developers, so I thought I'd start one.
Personal experiences :
I wanted to find an alternative to Andy and Genymotion which rely on VirtualBox since the VirtualBox's ndis filter drivers make my Windows 8.1 desktop regularly bluescreen. There's also Bluestacks but that always seemed to run poorly on even powerful computers.
DuOS-M is based on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean). They've stated they have no slated support for KitKat since they don't see it as a significant upgrade, but are looking into Android-L support. It comes pre-installed with the Amazon Marketplace. It can run both native x86 android apps and ARM apps out of the box. After installation it takes you to a page that explains how to easily install the Google Play Store / Services:
Installing Google Play Store:
http://amiduos.com/nextsteps
If you scroll down on the above link it also has instructions how to root your installation, which is dead simple.
I really like how Google Play, ARM Support, and Root support are all baked into the process.
Unfortunately I was unable to run this on my Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition desktop since it's running the Hyper-V role which DuOS-M doesn't support (shows a warning on startup that virtualization isn't enabled and then hangs when you OK the warning). I could disable Hyper-V (via removing the role or adding a boot flag option with Hyper-V disabled) but I develop too often with Windows Phone 8 to do that right now.
I next tested it on my ASUS VivoBook 11.6" (1366x768) Touchscreen Laptop which has a Celeron 1007U Dual Core CPU and 4GB memory running Windows 8.1. It runs surprisingly well, better than Genymotion in most cases. It's not perfect, Word With Friends for instance has weird missing textures. But it has been able to run things I've never gotten to work in Genymotion or Bluestacks, such as video streaming in Qloud Media player. Since this is a touch screen laptop all gestures and touch controls seems to work great, in addition to the keyboard/mouse controls. I like how DuOS-M doesn't install a new virtual network card on the host machine and seems to support Internet access transparently.
They recently just released a 32-bit beta version which I'm eager to try on my Dell Venue 8 Pro 8" Windows tablet. At $9.99 I'll probably purchase a copy before my 30-days are up. I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts on DuOS-M. Hopefully with more users/feedback they can continue improving this great Android virtualization alternative.
I've recently purchased DuOS-M.
Compared with Bluestacks, DuOS is a Ferrari. I'm using it on a Lenovo Yoga and i'm very impressed.
My Lenovo has a mobile core i5 processor but this is no problem at all.
All apps and games are running without lag. I did see some glitches but nothing serious.
Overall i'm very pleased with DuOS-M.
It would be nice to see what happens if XDA modders and cookers shine a light on this one!
It's nice...
Really lightweight and fast to install...
Has some limitations like no resizable window, but great overall.

DuOS will not launch in Full screen when the System RAM is less than 3GB, even though full screen is set in Configuration tool or 0 is set in xml configuration file.
This is known issue and this will be fixed in future release.
Seems like the latest update has fixed the fullscreen issue! Runs quite well on my Asus T100.

Does DuOS have a Lollipop image yet ?
Just wondering if anyone found a way around the syscheck (in particular, the 1GB ram). I'm running this on my Surface Pro and it blows Bluestacks out of the water. So I was thinking of running it on an HP Stream 7, a cheapo Windows tablet, but it only has 1GB ram. Getting a "Unfortunately you do not have enough memory to install DuOS-m." error.
DuOS vs Bluestack vs Genymotion vs Andyroid, which one better?
Isn't it VirtualBox also?

Fun fact: This version uses a custom build of VirtualBox. If you dig around, you can find the VHD files and VM config.
Unfortunately, without some reverse engineering, you can't just mount the disks in a VBox VM and go, there's some local host-only networking going on that I'm assuming helps authenticate to the licensing server or something, because trying to launch it gets it stuck after initializing the network interfaces (probably waiting for UDP packets).
Since the virtual nics are in NAT mode, I'm assuming that's why your PC isn't bluescreening, since NAT networking doesn't actually hook your interfaces but is translated from within the VBox software.
I am curious as to how this will work if I install VirtualBox side-by-side.... (it's currently on a separate vanilla test machine).
DuOS is really great, i just installed it and fell in love with straight away. but Has any one tried windroye, it seems to perform well and also has a mobile companion... I'm using it in high end machine so cant really tell the difference. so anyone who tried can you share your opinion ?

Do you mean using integrated graphics? If so, yes. Works perfectly with my built in graphics card on my laptop.

no
I mean without graphics card!
For those who've run it on a 32-bit device (older laptop or maybe the Dell Venue Pro 8), any chance you guys can provide the msi installation file? I'd like to try this on an HP Stream 7 which only has 1GB ram.
Apparently AMI is/ will be announcing DuOS 5 at MWC, obviously hoping they have bumped it up to lollipop.
Does anyone has available the keyboard shortcuts list, for zooming and multitouch actions? I can't find it anymore on the official website
