Hey everyone - now that many people are getting the HD (through the post, shop, stealing, whatever) I was wondering what programs that people are using.
If possible, please also state what the app does. eg;
Coreplayer - multiple-format video player.
Also, please post in Beards' topic with version numbers, screen resolutions, etc!

Yes there are. And if you take a little look around the forum you'll even find a thread dedicated to exactly that...
I looked through 3 pages fof topics... Though it's nice to see you post in all duplicated topics...

That tells us what programs work, not what the programs do and why people use them.
Different topics IMO. I'm interested in this thread.
Thank you for correcting my error constructivly, Beards. I don't venture out of BLACKSTONE or ELF, really. Will do, now.

The opening question clearly states:- "Ones that work well with the HD, that is."
What we don't want to end up having is two topics with members posting what works in this topic but not in the other ~ which after all is what the other topic is all about.

Your topic, as useful as it is for the elite, is also a big tease.
For example, I don't know what gsen is but I imagine i might want it! I guess I'll have to google.

Jon,
All you need do is go to the topic and ask......
Yes, the topic does list software titles working/not working but there's nothing wrong is posting anything specific about a specified program.
In fact I personally would recommend it.... The more information available is so much better.
Beards
This all stems from the fact software is a total mess on windows mobile - even looking at the biggest sites like clickgamer and handandgo none of them have support for the HD yet. As soon as microsoft bring out their software store the better - that's one thing apple got very very right with the iphone.

Couldn't agree more Jonathan.
At the moment it's a total minefield in ascertaining what does and does not work.

There, edited the first post. People can post in both topics. I think it would be interesting to see how many people, for example, used LunarTilt or that iPhone GUI - Beards, with your topic, if someone sees Coreplayer 2.5, they may not bother to list any other interesting apps they use.
Thanks for the link Acelister.
If I find anything of interst applicable for this topic I'll pass it back on to you.
Beards
one major problem and handicap windows mobile will have over the iphone.
The mobile osx is only one device (iphone), so it is a lot easier for developers to create and optimise software for the device, as for wm the developers have to think about the many different devices, thus full optimisation isnt really possible, that is why not all programs will run on all devices.
cor blimey - didn't mean to start anything off here, sorry!
The thread of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663 is fantastic, and very much appreciated.
If I ever catch up with you guys who have been playing with WM for years, and come across an unlisted app that works, please be assured that I will add to it
However - as a noob, short of Googling each and every one of them to find out what they do (ok, some are pretty obvious!), I have no idea which fall into the categories of "kinda vital" through to "dead useful if you want to do something dead specific".
What I was really hoping for in this thread (and I guess supersquash in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446128 and Philo25 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445543) was a sort of 'starter for 10'.
Looks like between the various posts we're getting there though, so MANY thanks to everyone
Well I've never really gone out of my way to install anything on my Touch Elf, so this was pretty new to me too. I've been getting the hang of it though.
I've installed:
Advanced Config (changes various hidden options),
Capsure (screen capture utility),
Coreplayer (video player),
Klaxon (alarm),
Total commander (better than File Manager),
SPB Mobile Shell (makes the Today screen look completely different),
iFonz (makes the Today screen look like the iPhone).
Those are all easily found using Google.
Nice one Sir - good to see there's a few of us in the same boat!
sounds like a good starter list - now I just need to start Googling where to get these from...
LOL - wife's gonna love me for the next few weeks...

I hear that... "You've not stopped playing with that since you got it!"
I'm supposed to be spending time right now trying to get hold of a Nokia 7510 (yes, I know, but she likes it!) - and instead I'm on here downloading stuff for a handset that hasn't even arrived yet LOL

I didn't want to post this in the ROM Development forum because it doesn't apply to a specific ROM, but this is a question about them.
I am looking for a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM that has Bluetooth and the OLD version of Pocket Internet Explorer. I really only use IE to stream MLB games, and the new IE is INCREDIBLY slow for that task. I use Opera Mini for everything else, but MLB requires IE. And I listen to the games through Bluetooth stereo headphones, so I need that too.
FingerMe Titanium's Lite version almost has it. There's a version with the old PIE but no Bluetooth, and a version with Bluetooth but the new PIE. I've looked around at all the ROMs in the Development forum but I haven't found a stripped-down one that has the specific combination I'm looking for: WM6.5, Bluetooth and old PIE.
I know a lot of people that read this are going to say, "Use a kitchen and build one yourself". Believe me, I've tried. I played with SuperJustKitchen and got close, but I think I just lack the required cooking skills necessary to produce exactly what I want in a ROM. About eighty failed recipes have convinced me of this.
Anyway, if someone out there can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks a lot.
I have to admit my first instinct was to jump your case for posting this. Technically it is a ROM development question, general though it is, and should be in that forum. No worries though, you did have some forethought on the matter instead of blindly posting wherever, so you get +1 for that.
However, you didn't look too hard lol, because illconcepts StripTease: Lots to Love edition is what you are looking for, and it has been around for a while now.

Wow, yeah, that is perfect. Thank you for the lead. I guess I stopped reading at the first version of that one when I didn't see what I was looking for. Oops. Looks like Black and Blue might work too.
I posted in the main forum because it looks like most of the posts in the development forum are for specific ROMs, and I didn't want to start a new thread that didn't involve one of those specifically. Turns out I didn't even need to post a question at all, just not be so lazy.
Thanks again.

Lol it's all good. illconcepts updates that thread periodically, so it may not have been there the first time you looked, although he hasn't edited the thread in a couple weeks. Glad I could help.
Well, it's more than just questions.
I have the HD2 and I really enjoy it. Think it's a great piece of hardware. WM6.5 gets the job done for the most part, but I can understand some of the concerns with the OS. It's good to hear that you guys are already working on WM7 and the port to this phone!
Truth is, I put my coin in google's corner, so I'm hoping that Android finds its way into the HD2 via T Mobile.
I'm a bit tech savy, been involved with computer animation and can build computers as well. I thought I ask about the learning curve when it comes to development on PDA's such as mine. With the drop of Android, I flirted with the idea of learning code.
Is Android Linux based?
You guys hear anything about Android getting a port to this phone? I've done the google search and can only find the sprint version of HD2 with Android installed. That does nothing for TMobile customers.
I read up a bit on XDA and they appear legit. My concern is code being used for identity theft. Anyone have bad experiences with XDA and the software that is released here for share? Does the software under go some sort of QA before it's provided for download?
I have no problem with donations, trust is what earns my donations...fair enough, right?
Ultimately, I really like this phone and look forward to further enhancing it...I hear XDA is the place to be!
Thanks guys/gals.
FAQ's and sticky threads are your friend as is google.
Try reading abit, get a feel for the site.. Then ask..
Yes Winmo7 is being ported to the touch HD, though at the moment it's sluggish due to lack of graphical acceleration (and not really something i"m excited by since it doesn't have copy and paste and no multitasking. IMHO it's really more like an iphone/toy meant for none-techy people).
I don't expect an official update/ROM for the HD2 with android to ever be released by htc/tmobile. However, I would be surprised if one wasn't ported by xda from other devices (like nexus/evo 4g).
Yes, android is unix based. (develepment done in java (for upper stuff) and C (for lower stuff)).
Anything you download and install from xda you do so at your own risk. However, I would argue that the risk is minimal (almost none existent) as long as you follow directions and read posts. The only thing that can brick your phone is a failed radio/SPL update/change. Anything else can be cured by a hard reset.

As unfriendly as my reply may seem, for a "tech savvy" guy you asked several questions which would have been abundantly answered if you properly used the search tools of the forum, or if you simply browsed through the most active threads

Thick skin...you grouches don't faze me
I've been through the site a bit, what can I say, life outside of the computer caught up and I got a little impatient!
I'm still reading through the forum. Have yet to find an answer to this question.
If I install Android on my HD2 (US), something goes wrong...will I be able to do a hard reset, or reinstall WM6.5?
I really think Android would benefit more out of this hardware. It seems as if everything Unix based always requires less resources and gets the job done!
I also would like to know how I can uninstall these game demos that are eating up space? Will this be a registry edit?
I feel as if Android would FLY on this device. WM6.5 is getting the job done, but it's to late for Microsoft with me. I've used Linux for some time and I just think it's better. Huge supporter of Linux!

oh, no grouches intended (and the "I have a life" excuse is old )
There's no way to install Android on the HD2, currently, that's why you couldn't find on these forums how to uninstall it from the hd2
Game demos were not included in my stock rom, if you're using a customized rom from a carrier, then either you find and delete the relevant files, if that's even possible, or you flash a clean custom rom from the rom dev forums which includes onyl the necessary software... but then again, I know all this info because I found it on the forums

Look at you, browsing through forums and stuff. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you.
Thanks for the info. I do have a custom ROM from TMOUS. Has games like guitar hero, prince of persia...more bloated ware. I estimate about 30 mbps of used space.

If they allow you to uninstall the games this is how you would go about it:
Go to the settings tab in Sense -> menu(lower right corner) -> all settings -> system -> remove programs.
Now the other option would be to flash your current rom to something faster and less bloated. T-Mobile US Rom Development Forum
I definitely recommend you read the Stickies before going about flashing your phone. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Would suck if you brick your new HD2 just because you didn't! This is what these forums are for despite what some members might claim.
As for your other questions yes Android is Unix based and is probably going to be available for the HD2 sometime in the future(don't ask when). There's already a dual boot app so when Android becomes available switching between the two operating systems should be a breeze.
Welcome to the forums and enjoy your new phone!
Hi,
A bit irrrelevant to reply here, but I did not any other place. Have been following this forum for quite sometime. Been around with windows mobile app development for sometime. But what really interest me is when people from this forum tweaks Rom image or port to other harware. Here things look quite easy. Is it really easy? I saw one single person tweaking a ROM image and porting to different hardware?
Hope I have not offended anyone.

Thanks. And no, it only allows me to uninstall apps I've installed after the initial setup. I've been through system files and the sorts and I can only find icons and other "blah" that's not the actual install directory. I show all the hidden files and still, can't find it.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Android. Don't need the dual boot. Just a solid port with solid drivers.
Sorry everyone for the irrelevant post again.
I was hoping that someone will reply saying - "porting ROM is not a big deal, this is how you do it"

Epic fail.
one thing that has been alittle pain is how the albums are viewed. i created an album for videos, yet when i view I can't have a name of the file visable, just a thumbnail. that doesn't work well at all. works fine with pictures cuz what you see is what you. videos start with a black screen; becomes a guessing game. am i missing something?
I had my hd2 for 2 months and i love it. But, im getting very disappointed that it's lacking in apps and community support unlike the andriod and iphone os. I see poplur apps that are available for android and iphone but not wm. i am starting to wish i never got the hd2 and really wish i knew about the evo thats coming out soon.
on top of that i see the phone on ebay has really dropped in price to about £270 ($411)
so is it possible to put android on hd2?
Wow
Before you get blasted for making a post and not searching let me give you some advice, Search! There are a LOT of threads about Android on HD2, it's not there yet but it is being worked on. Really, type Android in the search bar and you will see all the threads asking the same thing, good luck
*INSERT GENERIC FLAME HERE*
Your luck i just dont have the energy today

If you used the search functions (like most people) you would find your answer.
If you did this simple thing you would find that at this time, its not yet possible, HTC have the best group of developers on it but are having some trouble with the porting or something.

I bet your cooked ROMs will taste delightful!
Off: I succeeded in using my HD2 as a condom yesterday! Took me ages to port every bit of information...
On: Let's assume you haven't read the forum rules, thus you wouldn't know about the built in Search function. There`s Google. Why not Google for something (such as "android on hd2")? After all, it`s much easier to type and to read than typing a long post on a board where you need an account and where you need to wait for others to answer your question...
At least he searched the price of the HD2 on ebay...
i bet you guyz are unfriendly , help him if not *********** ,......,
anyway its still under development and needs some time i can say its 40 % to its full

It also really surprised me to see the price of HD2 drop down so quickly. Maybe mostly because not so many people can get on well with HD2, which is the best phone I've ever bought.
Easy on the flaming guys. Im sure he understands now. For all u know, u might just drive someone away from xda with negative thoughts......where as this is one of the most helpful community.
Like yourself I'm a new HD2 owner. I can understand why you might think there's a lack of apps for our device, when devices like the iPhone have 160,000+ apps. However I've found four different GPS nav apps out there (Igo, CoPilot, TomTom and Garmin), an app to make a flashlight out of your camera LEDs, a registry editor, a voice-dialler, a metal detector, a decent file explorer, a media player etc etc etc. The question needs to be asked, how many media players / file explorers / gps apps do you need on your device? For me, one of each is more than enough. Many of the iPhone apps are just double-ups of the same functionality.
After getting my phone I spent the next week on XDA searching for apps, themes, tweaks and games, trying them out and working out what works and what doesnt.
My HD2 is now running and looking mint, and I've got more games than I know what to do with. As the others in this thread have already pointed out, you do need to take the time and use the search function.
As for support, you couldn't be more wrong - it was the emmense wealth of knowledge of XDA-developers that gave me the confidence to buy the HD2. It will take you time to find the info you're looking for in these forums, but the answers are there, and you'll end up with a superior phone to the iPhone if you're prepared to give it a chance.
Drop me an email on [email protected] if you'd like to know where to find the bits you're after.

i hate to correct you but if you refer to an old question, please provide the answer with it,

Multiple Questions -
Would like a solution for all of them but will be researching on my own and posting updates about what I find as well. I want to begin by first asking you for your patience, and Thanking you for everything you guys do here at XDA. I sctually feel kinda cool, being a part of it. I cant wait to learn and master the world of Android and use it in my career field - Technology - IT
Also, trying to start a new discussion thread. (after my questions are closed out finished here, Id like to see it become a place where people come and are looking for a general place to look at cool ideas for your Android and PS3 and what you can do with them together. First, since I looked at all my questions and found sever closely worded scenarios that weren't what I wanted, You need a little background on me and the actual scenarios to get the full grip.
Okay, here it is. Ive been looking for a= for all the cool things I could do with my Android (Droid X2 - 2.3.5/Rooted- Eclipse 2.0.4) that involved my new PS3. I just got the PS3 and I was a hardcore Playstion fan since my early childhood. My first console as a matter of fact, was the PS1 with Gran Turismo 1. And while looking through the OS3's capabilities, I was Astounded... Yes you may like the Xbox 360 and I will give you that it is a very good gaming system that has many great and popular games (and you can play music saved on the local HD whilst you play {I havent quite gotten that done yet on the PS3 but I hope to.}) The Sony is much more.. You can do many interesting and by definition awesome things via Networking, Bluetooth, Internet, etc.. I recently graduated with my Assoc. in Networking and Im always thinking of all the things I need to make happen and what all will be required to preform, thus my occupation as a Network Admin (a beginner, but with excellent troubleshooting skills and quick learning). I hope to go back and BS in it as well and eventually master it (I want mo money) but while I am in my BS program, along with some other essential Cert's I will be needing, I want to completely and thouroughly learn the Android world and get a cert in it. I love the Android technology and capability.. :0 So, instead of reading forum after forum, like I usually do, Ive decided to join many of these forums and actually start, I figure you help me, I help you, we all get better. And, I'll be able to ask specific things, in my own words and have intelligent, Android users/devs to answer me and teach me (something Google cannot do.)
Now that you have a background on me (cause you may see me a lot), I must digress and get o with it. After Running through all the forums looking up ideas for my Droid X2 and how to use it to do a ton of cool things with my PS3, I will admit I had my heart set on a few specific things, but I found that there are a few threads about these kind of things and some are duplicate and there isn't a lot said.. Im opening this thread to get an answer to a few good questions of mine and then to leave it open for a discussion thread for anyone looking for the same kinda stuff one day so itll be all here, instead of way out in the cloud in bajillions of different places..
So, FIRST: I wanted to save a little money on a Playstation 3 remote (the one you use to wathc movies, like a T.V. remote) and use my android somehow via an app communicating with the Sony via bluetooth, network (since my phone is rooted and basically on the same Network as the Sony) anything. Is there anything like this out there? I am in the process of researching CM for the Droid X2 and Im learning about it, apparently the only app out there to do this with is Blueput droid I believe and its only $3 in the market but, Im an android/IT/hacker mod kinda guy, as long as its smooth stable and WORKS, and I believe that there is usually always a free way (on most things small like this esp) Blueput came out in beta for free but it only works for certain devices DX2 not being one of them, unless... You have CM7 any and all information about anything In my post would be saved and studied and used to learn with. So I can Own and be like you guys, a developer. So feel free to answer any and all of the trillion things you notice me wondering about and you happen to know or have an idea, I will work with you too} Now, I think CM7 will work on the Dx2 now, Ive been seeing so many people talk about how awesome it is, and that takes me to the second--
SECOND: Cyanogenmod {7} -- I have seen people raving about this, and from what I've gathered its a ROM with certain features. Can anyone tell me why this is so popular and whats so cool about it. Note: I'm also curious to any bugs or issues with the Dx2 as well.. Something good to know BEFORE you tackle a project. However, I thought I remember reading somewhere that there was a problem getting CM onto the x2 because of the Bootloader was locked {and still is according to what I read} I know that I may not seem like a computer idiot, I am capable and I can learn anything, but Im about to ask a stupid question, but I wont know til I ask so, will someone attach a link or something tell me in human words, what the boot loader actually is or does? My learning method was usually from the ground up and when I learn all the angles of something I can effectively troubleshoot or combine technollgies to make some cool capability, I should know what a damn bootloader is by now, but whatchya gonna do... *Face Palm
THIRD: Ok so this one is IMPORTANT -- I just got the PS3 and ofcourse I got Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. {Black ops has that cool zombie level you play to pass time with friends or when you're baking up some good *greens the delicious way lol but it was $30 bucks already and MW3 was still 60 and more popular and IMO one of the best ever made to date, and thats considering all games in my lifetime, back to the 90's. So what I wanted to do is somehow use my phone as a head set for the Sony in MW3 so I could talk to the people {I can hear them when they talk and its pretty funny lol} Until just recently I didnt know that online play with the Sony was free.. *Face Palm again... So I immediately got on and started getting my own ass placed at my feet bu children..... I then found that you can hack the game, but I couldnt find any of the hacks online except one password protected rar folder that my rar password recovery program will take it 30 years to crack... smdh I would assume that linux has a method that is MUCH faster. Not that I want to cheat, just use on the campers. and other lobbies full of actual hackers that cheat.. My sole intention is to get very well off at the game and just do free for all. awaiting better stats..
When I looked into this one, I see no hope; but thats where the gurus can help. I know that the Sony and my x2 both use Bluetooth 2.0 but I did see something someone said that the Droid cannot be used as a mic There has to be a way. If not Bluetooth the over the Network or internet or something! Anyways, yeah, that was top priority when I thought of it.
Blueput Droid and CM7 I believe give me the ability to use my phone as a wireless mouse and keyboard, If so then awesome. I still want the DVD Player remote (like the tv remote) function.
I know that the headset or something like it, has to exist. I've even been as far as to say that if I used a remote desktop app (in Android it may be ssh or something, if Im right and remember it being, different and weird.) and when you are in control of said dev, you have access to the system, your external devices such as USM and even, the microphone {tada!} would be an input for the machine I was remoted into. Anyway, I also through the network out their (LAN) bc of DroidMote Beta and that with that capability out there, I know I can remote play my PS3 with a PSP and probably a Rooted android, if so, I can join the Dualshock3 controller to my phone, and then I can play it on my phone with the controller, and using the mic, and speakers and screen! and having said all of this.. A book for goodness sakes.. I may also just be crazy. and wrong, which I am not afraid to admit.
Now I know that this was EXTREMELY long winded, as Im sure you can tell that I took my medicine this morning lol this is one add man that is not hindered by the slow, sluggish effects of having ADD. So, excusing my massive post, I hope that I have started a very useful thread that will attract other posters in the future and will evolve into a PS3:Android discussion forum, saving oodles of people time when searching for this fantastic sorcery I hope I have helped and contributed, as I plan to do for all of you as I can.
Given the information above and the questions I had swarming around that I put on this post, could you help me with these? Thank you in advanced for all that spend their time on this. I appreciate all the work Ive seen you do in the years past and now Im here to help as well.
PS: Since you know I am not to new to forums, meaning that Ive read them ALOT and know how they work basically, I never actually participated (How weak of me; what a drain) So I may not have the method down quite right. I will remember to keep the post's smaller than this one and post in the right place. I am open and begging for any and all tips and information on the forum, Android, and the inquiries above. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
