Ok...
I currently have the Alltel PPC6800. Magnificant device. (in my opinion) It's loaded with all kinds of goodies and as a facility manager, recreational tinker'er and hobbyist, I have my phone well equipped to make it operate smoothly and still utilize it for task managing and fun stuff.
So I was curious as to what everyone else had on their device's in respect to their lifestyle, work habits fun likes and device compatiability...
Here is the list on my device running Custel's V1.1 Rom:
HTC Home Plugin - Large Clock display/Organizer from Touch
HTC Home Customizer - Customizes Home Plugin
HTC Dialer - Optional Dialer from Touch
HTC Audio Manager - Optional Media Alternative from Touch
HTC 10 Button CommManager - Optional Comm from Touch
HTCustom - Another Customizer
Office Mobile - Stock
Windows Live - Removed
Voice Dial - Removed
AutoUpdate - Removed
TaskMgr - Task & Application Management tool
TCPMP - Needed for You Tube'ing videos
TCPMP Plugin V0.4.2 - Needed for You Tube'ing videos
Skunkworks VideoBundle - Needed for You Tube'ing videos
PCM Keyboard - Optional Touch Keyboard
Total Commander - Optional Registry Editor
SKTools 3.1 - PPC Cleaner, File Management & Registry Tool
Pocket Plus 4.0 - Today Plugin Organizer
Flashlite 2.1 - Allows for various animations, etc
Macromedia - Allows for various animations, etc
Touchflo V1.4.1 - Touch UI
TouchfloConfig - Configures TouchFlo on/off, gestures, etc
Google Maps 2.0 - Terrific Mapping Application
TouchPadVibrate - Vibrates Dial pad When Dialing
MS Voice Command 1.6 - Voice/BT Voice Command Application
This sum's the very accumulation of what I have compiled that works with each other, is stable with VERY little memory leak and allows for exceptional battery life (1-1/2 days) with about ~1 hr Internet/~1-2 hrs voice/~1-2 hours application running per day.
What does everyone else have?
I used to use the TCPMP and flash plugin for youtube videos, but I found a nice piece of software, that is much better, its called vtap, just type vtap.com in IE on your phone, and install it. It has a really easy to use interface, and searches more than just youtube (all kinds of sites). Much better than youtube and TCPMP. Plus you can show off your phone, saying it can do things just like the iphone.
So I will not need Videobundle, TCPMP Core or TCPMP Plugin?
**Update**
I downloaded and I like it! I was able to remove the other three and althought it may take a little load, it searches and plays wonderfully. Thanks for the lead!
Interesting concept but the quality is severely inferioir to tcpmp. This looks like it was designed to stream on a MUCH slower connection. Running the original flash video with TCPMP flash bundle is much clearer.
I have been playing with the Vtap for a while and while the interface is really nice and easy to use, I agree with what Dishe said in that it may have been designed to stream on a slower connection. TCPMP loads faster, has less interruption and has many more settings.
But I will watch this product as it develops more as i am always looking for an alternative to TCPMP.
To get off Vtap, if you like Google Maps/MS Live Search type tools, try out Yahoo GO 2.0. Slick interface, Navteq maps and decent flickr interface.
I was just wondering, with so much software on the internet, what is the best free software people use? I have been doing so much customizing and tweaking I just wonder what more is out there.
I use:
amAze GPS
Google Maps
HTC Home Customizer
Live Search
My Mobilier
Skyfire
youtubeplay
GPS Today
Pocket SNES
Unfortunately some of the best ones are not free:
TomTom7
PocketInformant
GeoScout
SBP Mobile Shell
Sprite Backup
Sprite Terminator
Code Wallet Pro
Free ones that I have are:
Google Maps
Microsoft Live search
HHC Home customizer
Opera Mini Browser
PHM RegEdit

Cool, it seems most people use the same programs but your right some of the better ones are not free...

Free:
Calendar+

* Sorry this is so long... but recently I sent an email with apps & links to some of my friends who also have HTC phones, so I figure it's just easier to simply paste the text heree. *
Hello HTC friends!
I'm sending this email to some of you who I know have HTC PDAs, or may be getting one at some point. Over the few months that I've had my phone, I've received a few tips on good applications from some people, and have discovered several myself. So I thought it might be a good thing to send out an email to my friends that summarizes some my favorites, in the interest of sharing knowledge & experience for those who might find something you're looking for (or didn't even know you were looking for!).
First of all, it should be noted that I've found several of these tools / applications / customizations at a website called xda-developers.com. It's a site dedicated so HTC -branded phones *specifically*. I mostly use it by searching their forums for answers to questions, and looking for applications or basic tweaks:
http://www.xda-developers.com
Another good site for Windows Mobile devices is ppcgeeks.com:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com
I recently upgraded my phone to Windows Mobile 6.1 with the latest ROM update from HTC & Sprint, so a lot of these are still fresh in my head. It is also worth noting that all of the apps listed here are free; that is usually a criteria of mine when searching for new software especially for my phone.
nueLED: Turn on / turn off / redirect LED lights on your phone
This was one of the first little apps I installed. After I got my phone I noticed that it was always blinking to let me know it was "alive," and since I have bluetooth turned on all the time that light was blinking incessantly as well. I installed nueLED, configured it to disable the service LED and bluetooth LED, and now if my phone is blinking at me I know it's because it's *actually* trying to tell me something (missed call, voice mail, etc.).

Opera Mini web browser
It couldn't have been more than 2 days of using Pocket Internet Explorer before I got fed up with it and started looking for a new browser. Maybe I was spoiled by playing with my friend's iPhone, because the web browser absolutely blows away any browser I've seen for Windows Mobile. But Opera Mini is at least a step in the right direction, until someone develops something closer to the iPhone's Safari browser. I have high hopes for Firefox's version of a mobile browser, but that won't be out for a while. And although Opera Mini runs as a Java app,let I've found out how to create a shortcut for it (as well as Gmail's Java applet) so that you don't have to go through the annoying Java menus.
http://www.operamini.com/
* There's also "Opera Mobile," although I haven't tried it yet. They have a beta (currently v9.51) that is free, although I think their non-beta releases (currently v8.65) are only free for a 30-day trial. If anyone has had any experience with these, please share the knowledge!
http://www.opera.com/press/reviews/mobile/
Google Maps
This has got to be one of the coolest apps for mobile devices; a must-have. Good interface, relatively fast, great searching, and it's easy to check traffic at a glance. It also has the ability to interact with the GPS receiver if your device has one, and can give you driving directions. But it's not the best for turn-by-turn directions as you navigate if you're trying to use it with the GPS. And also be aware that any software which accesses your GPS will suck on the battery pretty good when it's turned on, which is why I only turn on the "Use GPS" feature of Google Maps sparingly.
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/maps/
Microsoft Live Search
Google Maps pretty much has the upper hand in most aspects: Map GUI, usability, searching, etc. However, one area Live Search seems to have Google Maps beat is turn-by-turn directions. While it doesn't include audio guidance (I haven't found a free app that does), it integrates pretty well with the GPS and will even prompt you if you go off course. Not bad for freeware. The same caveat applies for battery usage if you turn on the GPS locator.

iContact: A more "finger-friendly" contacts manager
A better UI for interacting with the contacts in your address book. Originally started a while back by someone named "larna", and version 0.6 (April 2008) was good. Then after that developer didn't have any more time to devote to it, "supbro" took over and made it way better (July 2008). Now "burt" has made his "Burt Edition 6.2" (August 2008) and made some additional improvements, and now I think it's a great app. I would have recommended it even with larna's versions, but definitely now with supbro and burt's new features. It's light weight, responsive, and highly customizable. I can tell you how to set it as the default Contacts viewer, too.
http://burt.vndv.com/index.php?ind=downloads&op=entry_view&iden=1
OggSync: Over-the-air sync with Google Calendar
This is a nice little app which synchronizes the Pocket Outlook calendar built into your device with your Google Calendar, via the internet connection on you phone. I looked at a few other solutions, and went this one because it is free, accurate, and doesn't use a 3rd-party server as a go-between. The free version is good. They also have a paid version (yearly subscription) which includes a few additional features including scheduled syncs and multiple Google calendars. The scheduled sync would be nice, and multiple calendars maybe (maps each Google Calendar to a category) -- but not enough for me to pay for it. If you don't use Google Calendar then OggSunc is probably useless; but if you do, this app is a big winner.
http://oggsync.com/
Total Commander: A more feature-rich file explorer
Although the interface looks a little bit "old school", I use this app more than I thought I would. More options when browsing & interacting with files (geez, you can even see the actual file extension for once!), plus you get a registry editor and the ability to interact with LAN file shares (if you're connected to a network via WiFi) without having to jump through a bunch of hoops.

PPC PIM Backup: Backup personal data
This is an easy way to back up contacts, call logs, calendar entries, tasks, messages, and other files, etc. to your storage card. It's pretty light weight -- in fact there's no installation process, you just run the .exe and you're off and running. There is an optional scheduling mechanism for automatic backups; but I prefer to just use the manual backup periodically. It came in handy after flashing the latest ROM update last week.
http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm
TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player)
This is a nice alternative to Windows Media player, that actually plays formats beyond WMV. Fullscreen works great, and it is pretty customizable. Link to WM 6.1-compatible version below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387
There are also a codecs to play WMV files:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/local_links.php?linkid=61
and other audio formats including AC3, FLAC, Vorbis, etc.
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
Flash Video Bundle: A way to play YouTube (and other) Flash videos
My friend Scott told me about this one. It is a cab installation that includes FLV codecs for TCPMP as well as a plugin for Pocket IE that allows you to save Flash videos from the youtube.com website (the non-mobile version).
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FlashVideoBundle
YouTubePlay: Another way to save and play YouTube videos
My friend Mike showed me this other alternative. Not only will it play Flash videos like the TCPMP plugin, but it serves as a front-end for searching & saving YouTube videos. The player is good (fullscreen works nicely like TCPMP), and it seems to be a better alternative for finding YouTube videos than using a web browser.

SPB Full Screen Keyboard
I haven't tried this because the device I use (HTC Titan / Sprint Mogul) has a slide-out keyboard. But for devices that don't have a hardware keyboard, I've seen other software keyboards that are supposedly better than the ones that come standard on the ROM. One that is mentioned often is SPB Full Screen Keyboard. They have a free download, although I don't know if it's a limited functionality version or a limited time trial of the one for purchase.

Change # of vertical lines on new SMS reply screen
Windows Mobile v6.1 comes with a new "threaded" view for text messages, but the default space for replying to messages on my phone was only 2 lines. You can increase this if you want by simply editing the the thread_sms.htm file:

The next few applications are clones/extracts/repackaged versions of some of the software that comes standard on the HTC Touch and similar devices. So for the Touch, Diamond, etc., I think these are already baked in. But for others, here they are:
FTouchFlo version 1.4.1
Software that mimic's the HTC "TouchFlo" functionality, which allows scrolling with your thumb or finger rather than having to use scroll bars. It also allows for some nice customizations, including the ability to launch different programs via directional finger swipes.

SCLPC++: Cloned version of the HTC Cube
There are a few cubes out there, and this is the one I found to be the most useful & responsive. It's also a 4-sided cube, with the last face being an additional program launcher. In truth, I don't use it as much as I thought I would now that I have it all set up and configured, but it's still pretty cool.

HTC Home Plugin / HTC Home Customizer
Large digital clock, favorite contacts, program launcher, weather, etc., on your Today screen. This can be used to configure, customize, and backup settings for the stock HTC Home as well as the custom one. Install "HTC Home Customizer v1.0 Final," and upon first use it will prompt you to install the HTC Home Plugin if you don't already have one.
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html
If your interested, there are also several other HTC applications and skins extracted from the Touch ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533
I also have the .cab file installers for all of these programs if you need them. If anyone has other applications that they enjoy, please share! In particular, I am looking for a more "finger friendly" alternative to the default UI for the Calendar. I very rarely use my stylus, as I find it more convenient to just use my finger or thumb nail. That's a bit more difficult with the default Calendar interface, and there are other things I don't like about it as well. If you've seen the Calendar interface on the iPhone, it's pretty good. Don't get me wrong, I'd still rather have a Windows Mobile device than an iPhone, especially since you can get more "under the hood" and customize it, etc., and there's a huge community of developers making apps for WM. But there are some things that are much better on the iPhone, including web browsing and overall touchscreen responsiveness. But hey, at least we're moving in the right direction. Maybe Windows Mobile 7 and beyond!?
By the way, I recently found this site:
http://www.touch-innovation.com/
It contains links to several different kinds of "finger friendly" Windows Mobile apps, including some of the ones I've listed above. There's a link to an older (free) version of "ThumbCal" on there, and I may give that a try at some point. But it looks like the more recent versions of it are no longer free.

I tried out nueLight, and although the high beam and morse code functions are fancy and cool, I will still use Nilisco flashlight as my default flashlight. The reason is that I can easily bind it to a button (comm manager) and flick it on and off. The nueLight will only turn on with the button, but will not turn off.

I use Smartgear. It emulates NES, GameBoy Color, and Genesis. It has a free trial version, but it is WELL worth the $10 it costs to register.
Find it here:
http://www.bitbanksoftware.com/SmartGear.html
My favourite freeware:
1. Today Agenda: A rather simple Today screen plug-in that allows very flexible customization of information from your calendar and tasks to your Today screen. multiple-day agendas in collapsible line items on your Today Screen. Useful for precisely deciding how much real estate you want to give up for it. I love this program.
2. Amaze: Free voice navigation. Works pretty darned well.
3. S2u2: Slide to unlock program that allows you to dump your unlock line on your Today Screen, provides a bunch of useful info on your lock screen, allows calls, and is highly customizable.
4. Skyfire Beta: I really like Skyfire Beta. It works with most websites and provides full web experience, including streaming sound and video (you can play Youtube right on the browser).
5. Youtubeplayer: A nice means of searching, playing, and downloading you tube videos.
6. Pocket Music Lite: Free music player. No fancy coverflow interface, but a nice skinnable finger friendly interface. Only plays MP3s, but you can just get a converter program for your desktop.
7. Vade Mecum: Nice little ebook ready that reads plucker format. I read downloads from www.projectguternberg.org all the time. Has bookmark, search features.
8. VS Painter Lite: A nice draw and paint program that is free. Useful to annote pictures, draw maps or dungeons, etc.
9. Total Commander: One of the best file explorers out there.
10. Set Volume: Full screen volume controller. Skinnable and nice to hard key so you don't ever have to fart around with some tiny onscreen volume control.
11. Pocket Screen: Just a screen capture program, but very nice at that. Useful for showing off your stuff on forums.
12. Beyond Pod: A nice podcast player and RSS feed reader.
13. Google Maps and Live Search: Indispensible. Must haves.
14. Icontact (Burt's version): Very nice finger friendly contacts manager.
15. PCM Keyboard: Very customizable, essentially gives you the iphone keyboard experience on your ppc. Disable the annoying dictionary and word complete functions however.
Those are my favourite non-game freeware apps.
A shout out to shareware SPB Pocket Plus for having a very stable and nicely customizable Today Screen and Launcer experience. I tried Ulitmate Launcher and had all sorts of errors and problems and have read nightmares about HTC Home and HHC.

No problem Adamo. Download the file, copy and paste into your phone. After a click and install on your device. Simple as it should be...
Am I missing something?
This file is .zip, not .cab... When I copy to the phone and execute it opens as a zip file.
I tried to change the extension to .cab but no luck as well... I'm lost here...

I think to get YouTube its easier to open: m.youtube.com/app on your mobile phone.
It will download the .cab file so you just have to install it.
Or just download the cab file from here
Enjoy...
New .cabs added
bobnaldo, YOU'RE THE MAN!
Great Idea Bobnaldo !
We should keep this thread alive and add more apps and games. I noticed you created an alphabetical order, may i suggest adding a few words describing each app, or arrange them by categories.

tito12 will do this, thanks for the suggestion.
Here is a list of programs that I have encountered to work on the Treo Pro:
Treo Alert PRO 9.0 Beta 10:
-Manages LEDs to when events occur
-Manages vibration when events occur
-And More! A Must Have.
- Here
RealVGA:
- Switch between 96 DPI and 128 DPI.
SPB Mobile Shell:
-Works with default theme. Haven't figured out how to customize yet.
S2U2:
- Slide to Unlock Screen. Customizable like it's another Today Screen.
- Need to disable Treo Pro's default Lock Screen. Search!
SKtools:
- A Must Have. Many Tweaks that make Treo Pro faster plus it has Backup/Restore that works very well.
Advance Configuration Tool:
- Another Must Have. Many tweaks.
Androkkid:
-Customizable Today Screens with Plug ins, haven't figured out how to use yet.
Today Agenda:
-Displays Appointments/Tasks plug in for the today screen. Customizable to unlimited list.
WeatherPanel:
-Customizable Plug in for weather with icons and themes. Look for PhatPhinger 320x320 Theme. Looks Great!
Wisbar Desktop:
-Homescreen builder right on your touchscreen. Just about Anything is possible! It just takes forever.
Phone Alarm:
-Customizable Alarms, eventsm etc. with skin support.
Enjoy! Anyone please add to this. Looking for 320x320 supported Themes & Apps!
FDC Soft Task Manager
- very advanced task manager
NoData
- saves you monie$ if you're not on data plan (disables GPRS, EDGE, etc. connections)
SoftReset
- because Treo Pro needs it once in a while ....
VAlert
- lets you set up your own vibration templates for incoming calls, e.g. pulsing vibrate. HookMgr required - see below
HookMgr
- fixes the bug which causes the KeyGuard to malfunction with some apps running in the background (e.g. Fring, VAlert)
all Resco apps (File Explorer, Contacts, Photo Manager, Audio Recorder)
- very useful suite of thumb-friendly apps
Iconsoft PhonEx
- thumb-friendly and eye-candy dialer and contact manager, huge RAM footprint though (2MB)
Adobe Flash Player 7
- self explanatory
pcAnywhere 11.5 Mobile
- v11.5 compatible ONLY. Any other version of pcAMobile, including 12, is NOT compatible. Runs but will have screen tearing in main menu; remote operation fully functional
CleanRAM
- RAM "compaction" and "cleaner". I prefer to just do a SoftReset instead of wasting time on RAM "compaction"
ICBM
- Missile Command clone
Kevtris
- Tetris clone, with upgrades
Distant Galaxies
- 2D vertical scroller space battle game. Can sometimes mess up Today screen's carrier plugin (especially when using Treo Alert Pro). Go into your Today screen settings any time this happens, turn off Date then re-enable, then exit, for instant repair.
Pocket UNO
- classic card game
SmartMahjongg
- run with screen scaling disabled
Google Maps
- GPS mapping system, will run on Sprint Treo Pro without difficulty. GTP may require GPS bootstrapping first using GPSStarter, etc.
Bing
- GPS mapping, net search, local business directory, etc. Runs without difficulty on STP
Trapster
- P2P traffic, road hazard and speedtrap GPS-enabled reporting system
IEToggle
- small menu program that allows IE to run in either Pocket IE (single column read) or IE6 mode.
Kinoma Play
- media and YouTube player. Acquired taste
Microsoft MyPhone
- cloud backup system
Ministumbler
- 802.11 WiFi network scanning tool
Opera Mini 5 Beta 3
- internet browser utilizing server-based compression
Opera Mobile 9.7
Opera Mobile 10
- 'full featured' internet browsers
Pandora
- streaming music. Requires simple registry fix to repair incorrect TCP MTU setting
PHM Registry Editor
- name says it all
Skyfire 1.0
- internet browser utilizing server-based compression
STB TV2
- streaming video player
WeatherBug
- Today screen weather plugin. Graphics, multiple locations, severe weather warnings and more
YouTube v2.4
- streaming video player
Change Skin
Change Skin:
If you have SPB Mobile Shell, here is an app that allows you to change skins without a soft reset.
http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php
As far as I know this is the only way for SPB Mobile Shell to work on the Treo Pro as it supports 320x320.
I am having trouble with adding new widgets to the themes. I have the list of them but when I try to add the new widgets in Mobile Shell the list is not there.
Anyone can help me?
Moar apps!
BTW, all apps I mention have been personally tested for functionality on a Sprint Treo Pro ("STP").
Also, I am still using all apps mentioned except Kinoma [Free]Play and CleanRAM, both of which I did not like and uninstalled (Kinoma after much hair pulling over the decision). I was trying to give Kinoma the benefit of the doubt but all it did was try my patience every single time I (was sometimes 'forced') to use it.
GPSWeatherRadar
- GPS positioning enabled satellite & radar weather
WMStopWatch
- stopwatch and countdown timer functions. 'Digital' (rather than faux-analog) time readout interface, can play WAV file (only format supported) at end of countdown
ScanLife
- 2D barcode scanner
Weather to Go
- Today screen weather plugin. Graphics, multiple locations, etc.
WeatherPanel
XDA-developed Today screen weather plugin app. Graphics, multiple locations, historical weather graphs, choice of Today plugin theme formats and looks, etc. IMHO the best weather for WinMo devices. Download the WeatherPanel app plus the PhatPhinger 320x320 theme as well as the Phat+48+Classic theme mod to get all Today plugin options and correct format for Treo Pro.
more apps
Since the official Opera Mini 3 was released a few weeks ago, it has been great. So glad I could finally set it as the default browser on my treo pro, it's like it breathed new life into it!
Here's a few other apps that I have installed in my Sprint Treo Pro.
WMWiFiRouter - never could get the HTC wifirouter to work on my treo pro, but this is solid and steady.
BeyondPod - RSS feed reader and podcast manager. Easy download of your favorit podcasts.
Yomomedia - another RSS feed reader and podcast manager
Kinoma Play - A little expensive but good piece of software
KeePassPPC - mobile passwords, wish it was more finger friendly, but do like it because I can copy the password file to my desktop and use the desktop version.
DCP Enable Roaming - enables roaming button on Sprint treo pro. Great for me, because the Sprint signal is weak where I work and I sometimes have to flip it to roaming to get a good verizon signal.
Endomondo - GPS tracker. I tried SportyPal, and it didn't work, Endomondo is pretty good though.
Gmail 2.0.6 (java) - I don't really like the way WinMo Outlook works with gmail, but do have ActiveSync pulling in my Gmail contacts.
Bolt Browser (java) - When Opera Mini doesn't work, Bolt usually will.
Stick Thread!
Tell me, Treoprodragon, how is Kinoma Play full (paid) edition? The fact is, the STP came with Kinoma FreePlay (the no-cost version) from the factory...and I hated it SO much that I deleted it, even though it was free and OEM.
FreePlay's worse offense was when I went to open up an image, say from the SD card - Kinoma would open, display the picture and overlay "Preparing" (I can't remember the exact wording)...sometimes for over 1 MINUTE. Sometimes it would NEVER give me back control of the app, just staying locked on "Preparing", and I'd not only have to kill Kinoma but do a soft reset because of the ensueing memory leak. Grrrr
I did a reg hack to get my picture viewers back to MS OEM...but the I found FreePlay shows fewer YouTube results than the actual YouTube player, contrary to Kinoma's claims to the contrary.
In other words, Kinoma FreePlay simply seemed to do everything WRONG.
Mass Storage for Treo Pro
nueMassStorage seems to be working fine.
I am using version 1.2 installed via CAB file. Just tap new icon (not old one) inside settings -> connections -> USB to PC, select Mass storage, while advanced networking will be disabled under inactive Activesync part.
tested on GSM version T850UEU-1.01-VFU
