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.
I have started the task of getting my head round UL and how it works. There is quite a bit to learn and a whole shedload of threads dotted about all over the place with useful information.
Some of these threads are about UL, others about icons and/or their use in UL. The purpose of this thread is to act as a reference point for all of the threads on UL related matters.
The intent is to save time trawling through the site by having all the links in one place.
Feel free to add to this; however it would be useful if you could ensure that you don't duplicate a thread already mentioned here.
Cheers

Great list, but it would be great if you could tell what each thread contains?
yes it will be a good starter for those who wants to use ULtimate launcher theme hopefully there will be an indication for each link that you have given
but anyways this is a great thread and greater is the one who has started this
Thanks a lot for saving us time
it will be better if someone can make a thread for battery status theme that they have used in coordination with the Ultimate launcher
I do believe they go hand in hand
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510
NOTE: there is a thread here but still to many pages for a reader to read but what I am asking is what theme that you are using in coordination with your Ultimate launch
-> aurora is a good alternative but it sometimes get too complicated ( I have done it though) for the other members to make IMHO

UL Customization
Word to the wise, don't change the background color of UL unless you have your device backed up or better yet, you can boot in safe mode and disable UL from your today screen. I changed the background color and it locked up my device. I did 3 soft resets and I couldn't boot in normal mode. Luckily I had a safe mode tool installed so I booted into safe mode and disabled UL.
However, this is one of the coolest launchers I have ever used. It's a little rough around the edges. Hopefully it will get better as time goes on. I just wish their was an English forum to post bugs and requests to for the author of this cool software.
I have changed my background color many times and it never locked up my device.
I'm under the impression that it may be rom related sometimes, and not UL. On some roms, I can use youtubeplay, and others I can't or it'll install, but wont open. On some cooked roms, I can use igo, Tom Tom, and others I can't. You'd believe that if you have jbed installed, you'd be able to use Opera Mini. As it is well documented on this site, many are having issues with it and having to tweak this and that create/install mortscripts, blah blah, blah. Sometimes it not the app, it's the cooked rom. Some have had to remove and reinstall UL because they were having today plugin issues. Just my two cents. My point is that the user maybe doing all the right things, but still encounter minor glitches that others may not experience.
good idea. Robo !
Robosiris,
I believe you have hit the nail on the head there. You are already aware of the problems I have had wth UL and plugin deinstallation.
I love this forum because it is all about helping each other out and sharing experiences; one reason why I thought a reference thread would help (I need to ask the mods to make it a sticky).
What I find really annoying is knowing I have followed all steps to the letter, don't get the result I am looking for, then someone comes along and tries to be a smartarse rather than being helpful!
I too am looking forward to the next version of UL where hopefully some of these bugs would have bee ironed out and the software will be compatible with a broader range of roms.
Meanwhile I hope we can all continue to share our knowledge here and help each other out.

In my thread, I tried creating UL manual (if you will, lol) because it's so customizable and almost impossible to write everything. So I just hit the finer points.
Creating this thread is indeed a smart move and good idea. I can see this thread (or Sticky) becoming a Wiki for UL. I think this is one of the many applications that needs a Wiki.
Update: you can now download all my icons, INCLUDING .ICO (see first post here for link)
@ Admin or whoever, please delete the link to the "iphone glossy", its not uptodate, thank you.
this thread is a very good idea - has introduced me to both UL and rltoday!
A thought - people should post what themes / skins they are using with either (or both) UL and rltoday, they work really well together.
I am using the skin by Focaldesign:
http://www.focaldesign.be/HTC/?see=Focaldesign-Pi3cH
skins UL and rltoday. it is brilliant, but would like to see what else people are using....
I have a quick question too - how to i change the font for UL?
I have copied the font to the \windows\fonts directory, and then in the options changed the font name (under the font tab - typeface name)
but doesnt make any difference.
Any thoughts?

You'll need to change the entire system's font, there are cab installers in the forum, I use Segoe.

I love UltimateLauncher for all of it's customization options, but I already bought SPB Pocket Plus 4 and I'm not sure how to integrate UltimateLauncher with Pocket Plus. Seems like over-kill. If anyone is running both together, I would love to see a screen shot as well, or at least an explanation of how both complement each other.
I don't think it's overkill at all. I have seen some people's setups that have UltimateLaunch running in full screen "virtual page" mode, with Pocket Plus running on one page, and Weather Panel or SBSH Pocket Weather running on another, and Today Agenda on a third.
UL is one of the best mobile purchases I've made.
I'll second that Robo, UL is money, for the first time in a WHILE, I didn't mind spending.

My question is who gave you the right to upload other members work?????? The gears theme is mine I can speak for it and I would Imagine the other artist are not to happy either. Why dont you post links to the work instead of uploading theme to rapidshare?? I'm asking you now to remove the gears theme and show a little respect for the ones that spent countless hours on these themes. I mean you don't even give credit to the artist at all. Try to be respectfull.

i would be happy to remove the gears file and any other that would like it down, This has not been discussed in any of the threads you guys posted though. those threads are all for of theme custimizations that require you to move each piece of the theme to the gfx folder and make allot of changes to the clock, battery ect..., the example files I uploaded was to show that you can have a SINGLE save file for a theme (not 40 some png files) and just click load and change your theme on the fly. No disrespect intended, I downloaded those themes along time ago and did not know whos they were, however i did state I IN NO WAY DESIGNED THEM. was just trying to show a cool feature that no one seems to take advantage of in s2u2.

I understand and agree. I have been looking for the single file theme solution files that he talks about. It would be nice if this thread was dedicated completely to single theme files because it is impossible to find those in the massive threads (if they are even there). It would be much easier to use these instead of having to move multiple files and what not.

I understand your intent and I agree with you on the fact that it needs to be explained how to arrange the files. But there are other ways to do this.
You got the gears theme from www.skinzone.org if you read the first page it states any thing you download is for your personal use only not for redistribution. Again I ask please remove my theme.
Here it is from the first page copied and pasted:

i would like to add something to this.
first, as a part of skinzone.org myself there are a ton of posts there on a program called s2u2c which allows you to download numerous parts, and creat one theme.
secondly i can vouche for holdem when i say he will gladly make a cab file for quick and easy install.
the biggest complain we have (where holdem is coming from) is our work is all over without credits given. and thats where all of us get ticked.

So I removed the gear theme as requested, I was just trying to contribute, however I really don't see the point of that now, And since the gear theme was actually made wrong, and I redesigned the notice ping to work correctly ( it was missing an icon and was made in wrong dimensions) I would be happy to upload that without any credit. Ill post a few themes I created later tonight for download, anyone feel free to use as they wish as well. And yes I get it, I just don't agree with you. Also that program that makes cabs is still a pain for most people. It is very simple to make the themes then save them into a single s2u2 file, it lets you have as many themes on your ppc as you want, and is a 1 click load to change it. have a nice day.

actually, it wasnt made wrong.. it was made for an older version of s2u2.
and you need not agree with me. u just simply need to realize you dont own it therefore its immoral to post it under a rapidshare link.
Can someone help me install an HD Wallpaper, that shows up on all tabs... I have installed the patch as well as an HD Wallpaper, and it is only on my curtains (task bar and bottom)... It does not show up on my background on any tabs and my default wallpaper remains... I have used HD Wall on my TP2, and it was easy, but now it is not working on my HD2... I am sick of these animation and weather wallpapers, haha. Thanks in advance...
You need to SEARCH the forums for numerous threads that contain the information you're looking for.
I'm not being rude, I'm just saying that most folks don't have the time to provide links to every individual with questions.

Hello,
I am a huge fan of the sense roms over here, but I discovered a problem in almost all roms(this happends to me atleast), I have used the Energy Rom, and the hadric sense rom, and a couple other sense roms. When I want to set a wallpaper, I go the the backgrounds tap, there you have this flippy wallpaper preview, where you can slide through the wallpapers, All wallpapers are grey, like they can't preview, so are the Live wallpapers. Anyone else having this problem too?
Thanks in advance.
Well I would definitely suggest searching next time friend, posts like this leave you open for flaming or bashing. This is a well known and documented issue with Sense 3.xx roms since the beginning. If you want to see them just select menu then grid view.

I always search for items, but I couldn't find something about this, and I've never found something in a thread about the tabs. If a similar thread like this already exists, I am sorry for this. I am just interested in making a rom perfectly . Thanks for your advice btw.
