This forum has a lot of information and a lot of input and applications and downloads. I recently started coming here a few weeks ago and little by little have gotten through quite a few threads and downloaded some amazing stuff. However, it's been difficult at best and quite slow and tedious and I know there is still lots of stuff I'm missing.
What I was thinking is how it would be great if we had one unified post that summarized and organized some of the most popular applications that are available here. Something like:
Best Music Players
--HTC Audio manager
--Mort Player
--etc.
Best Browser
--Opera Mini
--Picsel
--Skyfire
--etc.
Best locking program
--S2U2
--etc.
and so on, with the download links next to them. This would make referencing certain applications easy to find and download for all from various threads. With a few people in charge to moderate the thread, updates could easily be done as people post as they arrive or to alert others and then subsequently deleted.
I'm not sure if this has been brought up or attempted before, but I wanted to throw it out there. Please feel free to close or lock this thread if necesssary mods.
I would also add that some polls could be set up initially to identify some of these key applications to set up a "standard" list of applications that most users here should at least be familiar with and/or have on their devices.
Thanks and hope this idea helps out others if it's put forth.
Chain Fire's WMWIFI ROUTER
Slither's HTC CUBE Clone ( flash version )
Slither's HTC Cube ( C++ version )
Throttle Launcher
will add more later
Best Music Player:
Pocket Melody
Best Browser:
NetFront Browser 3.5
Best contact App :
-- PocketCM 0.19b !!
I can't find the pocket melody thread... can some one gimme a link...
Thanks
Sorry, but before this thread becomes very crowded and yet another "must have" list that gets lost in the realms of the web: Wouldn't it be better to do this in the XDA-Wiki?
Here's a good starting point.
A sticky hint might be a good idea, though, you've got to scroll the Wiki main page for a while to find it...

Thank you. That's exactly the type of format I'm looking for. I didn't want everyone to just come and start posting their favorite programs but instead to have ONE post that combined them all. I just don't know enough of them and haven't been around long enough to even begin to compile it.
That wiki page looks great. I just hope someone that has a little time and the desire to do this could pull it off. I just don't have either nor the knowledge to put out something that would be helpful. Thanks for the reply.
best tweaker
schaps config tool
Nice looking interface - Wisbar Advance Desktop
Best theme bars and text color changer:
RC Mod v.2.1 by o3blig
We should have official polls on what are the best apps for each category.
That way, the best of the best will show themselves and those who are not yet enlightened, WILL be.
It will also clear up arguments and let popularity decide.

Agreed. Should be in general.
Hi gps-lover!
I'd like to post some ideas here to make "task facade" even better:
Pocket PC Version:
It would be nice to ba able to add a task to the "banned task"/"banned window" list from within the application - for example from the dialog that appears after doubletapping on a task.
Smartphone Version:
In the current Version (3.7.7) ist is not yet possible to close a task with the facade. This would be a nice feature.
Regards
Silent_R
why? why open a new thread for this?
you JUST replied to the original thread.
read the rules..
it was my idea.
the problem is, that thread is too big, is used mainly for problem reports and is hard to track for feature requests.
so the idea was to have a separate thread for feature requests only.
sorry if it's against the rules.

it's just that... imagine that every other app has a thread only for requests...
this section of the forum is already drowning in new threads... that's why the questions and answers section was openned.
If i were you i'd ask people to give in suggestions with the title "Suggestion" and then you can search your thread for all posts containing "Suggestion"... and get only those posts. go through them to get an update for your app.
just an idea
cheers.
p.s. sorry for sounding blunt, it's hard to pass on the tone of voice..
might i request margins between the screenshots so they arent sharing the same borders ala xperia style??? i believe that it would look better and more eye appealing without losing functuality
thanx for your hard work

That's already an option.
I have the HTC Touch Pro and the program will not allow me to close any open applications. Is there a fix for this yet or do I need to do some config to get the tap and hold feature working to close any open tasks?? I got hooked in when I saw the youtube demo video. I believe the phone used was either Diamond or TP and it worked flawlessly on the video. Did I do something wrong?
Any way to mimic the vista aero task switcher? So you could flip through the open tasks with finger swipes.
Scroll Support for Tilt/Kaiser
I'm using Task Facade with the AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser). When I start Task Facade, I usually see two columns of two or 3 panels each. The scroll wheel will move up and down the column that is originally selected, but will not move over to another column.
Would it be possible to make the scroll wheel "loop" through the columns, so that when it reaches the bottom of one, it moves to the top of the next?
Can anyone let me know how to take screen shots and post them on the forums? i've seen a lot of people do this.. but i don't understand how it is done.. or what program they use.. any help would be great.. thanks
Three are a few programs that you can use.
My preference is ShakeAndSave . It's quick and it's easy.
Spb Imageer also comes with a screenshot function. As does BsB Tweaks.
If you're looking for something PC based rather than on your device, then check out MyMobiler. It's brilliant! ... and does so much more than just screenshots. It's dead handy.
perfect... thanks man
You're most welcome
+1 for shakeandsave. super easy to use
I'm fairly new to programming but I thought I would have a go at an app that could help people flash roms, radios, change themes, find new apps etc. The app is simple (and I meen really simple) at the moment but I am hoping to extend its functionality soon. Basically what the app does is provide you with the tools, download links and instructions that you will need to flash a rom/radio/spl etc to your device.
I have also tried to include links to the best apps, mods & tweaks that your device has to offer, this part of the app is in early development at the moment but it is quickly growing.
I am programming this in c# and I'm a bit of a nuub at it so if there are any developers out there who like the look/idea of the app then please feel free to contact me, I will glady give the source code to anyone who wants it as I would like this app to be as helpful and usefull as it can.
Feedback is much appreciated and I would love some requests or ideas?

i cant believe over 100 views and no one has any ideas or feedback for me, i know its not the best program in the world but a few replys would be nice.
This would be ideal for looking into things instead of using the lame "search" feature (no offense) or keep looking through the pages .
But the tile is a lil bit misleading, as ROM Helper doesn't actually describes what does the app do . I mean it's just my opinion to change to something more informative, like ROM instructor for instance, title .
Also you won't draw attention in here, try posting it in a more specific section : ) .
Such a good app, keep up the good work because that what our community should do ! I wish i was a developer, even a noob one : ), cuz i have lots of apps' ideas but they're just in my head !
Keep it up

thanks for the words of encouragement, your feedback has been very helpful
I think you have a typo. You wrote KernAL insead of Kernel.
Its a great programm and i was looking for somethink like this a long time ago.
i know its a hell of work, but a start screen where you can search according to things like "6.5 or 6.5.3" and "cookie or "non-cookie", etc. I think its impossible because its just to much work as i guess you are connecting all the face manually.
Anyway, thanks a lot, i like it!
OT- Edit! I just noticed your Шапка-Ушанка - have u been to russia lately?

thanks and cheers about the typo, i will change it now, new version is being uploaded as i type this. and i wanted to add a search function but it wasnt working for me, im sure ill get round to it tho.
also i have been to russia but not recently, got my hat from outside the big museum in st petersburg, ive been learning to speak a bit of russian too for a hobby. dont know how you spell it in russian but i can say it ok "boy apinima paruski" lol
This is a great concept and could be a fantastic alternative to searching through the forums for what you need.
I'm sure you're still working on it, but at the moment some of the ROM headers link only to their download page (i.e. hotfile), and not to a description.
It looks like a lot of work, but it would be great if it becomes a comprehensive resource. Thanks for all of your effort!
