I have also been looking for good apps for my Touch. I don’t want to install and remove tones of apps and clutter up my Touch. But if there are apps out there that really shine I would love it if people would post it. Perhaps we can turn this thread into a comprehensive list of great apps for the Touch?
I know we can find these apps by searching but maybe we can turn this thred into a one-stop shopping center for the best Touch apps along with URL’s of where to get them? Maybe even screen shots?
I love Google Maps. Very slick and useful. If you have the $7/month unlimited data package from Bell Mobility (apparently Telus has something similar) then download Google Maps.

It's a keyboard. I love it and can't live without it now.
I currently have:
PocketCM
Touchpal
Pocket Informant
Pocket Breeze
spb finance
spb backup
resco explorer and registry editor
HTC Home customizer
Advanced Config
Touch Settings
Google maps
Windows live search
opera mobile (trial)
Documents to go (trial)
HTC Audio Manager
KeySwop
psShutXP
Pocket Player (trial)
I would also recommend getting invisibleshield for the touch to protect it.
Here are some of the critical software that I cannot live without.
Ultimate Launch
PocketCM
Touchpal
Pocket Breeze
Resco Explorer (with Registry Editor)
Opera Mobile
HTC Audio Manager
My Current Lineup...
Pointui 1.02b Test 2 modded with black skin
Spb Fullscreen keyboard
Spb phone suite
PocketCM
Opera Mobile 9.405 beta
Polen's 4 sided vista cube
S2U2
htc streamig media
Coreplayer mobie
Resco Explorer w reg editor (everyone needs this)
1-calc
Conduits Pocket Player
Ringo (ringtone Manager)
Schap's Adv config
MS Voice Command 1.6 (modded to announce calls over BT)
A few other custom tidbits
It took a little work, but now, my phone puts an iphone to shame! WOOHOO!
Apps
Cant forget about shogunmark Threaded SMS, also cube config
SPB Pocket Plus is on my UC lineup. I love how it adds the extra 'hold' button mapping feature to all ur buttons (great on my Kaiser, but the Vogue only has one button?!?!) Also, the tabbed plug-in feature for PIE is a must have!
Yes, Advanced Config. is a necessity too but it won't let me map 'long press send key' or 'long press end key,' whatsup with that? I am running v2.1.
Has anybody been able to map those keys? The Vogue doesn't have that many buttons and it'd be great if we could get the most out of them. I was able to map them on my Kaiser, which had more button options than I could imagine.
I would give a vote for the best soft kb I've tried: ftpro
From the developer's site (www.fingertouchpro.com):
"""
What makes Fingertouch the BEST? Video tutorials
Fingertouch PRO has 5 layouts (5 keyboards in 1)!
It offers FAST Text Input using our patented technologies!
Comes with fT9 Technology, T9 improved system!
It supports multiple languages including Russian (Cyrillic) or Greek!
The keys can be moved, entire layout is configurable!
The keyboard size can be changed, including FULLSCREEN!

LOL!
I don't even use half of these now.
Softs
At first, i was pretty scared to try some softs, but now, i try'em, and delete them if they dont do the job.
A couple of month ago, i knew nothing of Mobiles powered devices and now, gosh, thanks to some months of learning in these forums, i tweak my device a lot!
THANKS XDA, you made me HAPPY
Stupid question, but are these apps easy to install and remove? do i need to use my pc or do i just download them from the phone itself? are the majority of them free?
Thanks.
I just installed this, and i must say its much nicer than the default that comes with the TP2. But theirs a few things.
1. I cannot find the program to launch it again after i close it. When i look under the drop down of programs running, all thats listed is "Java FX", which when clicked, does take me back to the browser. Is their not its own icon? Or is their a way to link the new one to the "internet" tab in Touch flo?
2. Is their any way to keep it from poping up its own software keyboard?
[edit] Ok.. someone posted this solution::: Disable Inline Editing in Settings\Advanced...
3. When i type in the address bar, it sometimes, double types letters. Very annoying.
never mind
beta 5 unfortunately has problems with switches from landscape to portrait and vice versa.
when i pull out the keyboard in oder to type something of course the screen rotates. In about 50% of all cases the browser UI does not follow the rotation, but the screen just turns white.
opera 4 has no problems with screen rotations.
Java
Posted this question in another thread too but seems more appropriate here:
I came from the Mogul to the TP2 so I'm not so sure how to install and run Opera Mini 5. I'd like to try it, but do you still need a Java applet launcher to run it? Or can you just run it on the TP2 if you put the .jad and/or .jar files somewhere? Thanks.

Follow the instructions on the opera website:
"To try Opera Mini 5 beta, simply visit the address m.opera.com/next, using your phone’s default Web browser."
in case the OEM of your phone pre-installed a suboptimal java runtime environment (or even none) try this:

LOL, that link redirects us to this topic...
That said, I also have some minor problems with the new opera mini 5 beta. It look way more slick then the standard version of Opera, but there are a few things:
1. Just like Lyian stated, I as well hate the opera interface keyboard popping up and would really like to turn off this feature.
2. When I slide out my keyboard, the java applet notices this action and tells me to restart opera mini 5 :S (using JBlend, standard application deliverd on my tp2)
3. I would really like to have the possibility to make a shortcut to opera mini beta 5 in the start menu.
4. Everytime I restart the mini-browser, it asks me if it may connect to the network. I would really like to have the mini-browser never ask me this again.
Now I do remember that there were some solutions to my little problems mentioned above. With the old opera mini there were some tweaks that offered an solution to point 3 and 4, but I can't find them anywere. Does anybody know if they work as well for mini 5, and where I can find them? Does anybody have an solution to the other problems?
Thanks in advance,

use jbed instead of JBlend. JBlend can not handle screen rotation at all (no matter whether the java application can or not).

use jbed and make a link in the startmenu folder to the jbed executable with the parameter "-run s0_".

When I use the keyboard for typing an URL it results in a URL like xda-dddddevelopersssss.com or xdaaaaa-devvvvvelopers.commmm. I don't have any problems with the keyboard in other programs.

Found the other post someone posted.
Disable Inline Editing in Settings\Advanced...
I just started playing with Mini 5, and it's freaking awesome with esmertec jbed. It's got the speed of Opera Mini, but it has some degree of flicking and it can copy/paste text! Mini 4.2 allowed you to copy and paste text when you switched to text entry mode, but you had to change the keyboard to the old full keyboard to utilize CTRL C and CTRL V. I can now highlight text on pages. Plus tabbed browsing! Remarkable.
I looked for a signed version of 5, but I couldn't find it (I was able to install the signed version for 4.2). Is there a trick I'm not aware of?
Mini 5 works for some of the forums I visit. I was unable to post in the Yuku forums with 4.2, and it would format oddly unless I was in mobile view. Screen transitions are a lot snappier.
I've never had any luck with screen orientation transitions with Opera Mini, so it's not a big deal for me. I'm used to using it exclusively in portrait mode anyway.
I think I've found myself a new browser. Anyone have any tips or tricks to share?
ETA: I'd love to get the flicking speed higher.
Does anyone know how to get the clock/time to show on the top border/frame? It's on Opera Mini 4.2 and it'd be cool to have it on this browser also. Thanks in advance !
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.
Hi, newbie to winmo 6.5....
is there anyway for ms words to rotate to landscape mode for our leo/hd2? well not only ms words but the whole office apps eg. exel, ppt and other apps like the notes etc.

Look here
Grtz,
Edit:
look at this post to see how you can add a specific program to the whitelist.
Degake
you can do this using a program called BsB Tweaks, which is available in the themes and applications section. It seems to work fine with word, excel and onenote, no need for it in powerpoint as it's always in landscape when you open a powerpoint file.
dekage beat me to it, you can change the registry as mentioned above or use bsb tweaks which can help you rotate other programs too.
degake & mndl632
wow that was really fast...thanks bros for the help. will tweak tweak tweak hahahah.
so happy...
because we all have different needs for applications and programs on our phones, i was curious to see what everyone has installed and uses most often on your HD2. i myself haven't done much installing, but what i DO have proves to be extremely useful. here's my list and what each program does:
palringo - multi protocol IM program, i had this when i had an HD1...love it
facebook 1.1.0.17 - a deent update to the og app, use this over touch.facebook.com now...
shazam - recognizes nearly any song playing when allowing your phone to 'listen'.
bsb tweaks - many useful tweaks
total commander - use it for registry things and as a better file explorer
gui:
co0kie's home tab - love the 4x4 quick links and the amount you can have
mini hd2 lock screen - haven't tried s2u2 yet, but this is simple and clean
that's about all i have for now. interested to see what other apps, games, and gui tweaks everyone else has. screenshots would be nice, too, if you have them.
