New User - whats some good software titles?

Hi guys,
I am about to get an XDAII in the next 2 weeks. What are some must have software titles for it? I already have Agenda Fusion, Battery Pack 2003 and MS Voice Command lined up for it. What else is good? System utils? Office programs? Games?
Also, is there a battery pack 2004 out? Somebody told me about this, but I have no idea if it is yet available.
Thanks in advance!

completely agree, think a lot of people would

I believe this has been discussed and it is too integrated into the ROM to be extracted.

Beautiful and easy.

This is palm threaded sms. I tried vitos today but I don't like the design
6.1 SMS on 6.0 would be nice.

I suggest using the PALM threaded SMS app..

I have to ask the obvious, Why not just upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1? It is much more stable, for me at least, than 6.0.
No offense intended. To each his/her own.

Because some of us can't upgrade to 6.1 there is no 6.1 for my phone at the moment, for example.

I have a TOUCH CRUISE
- VITO SMS, doesnt work with the Touch Keyboard, the keyboard only rights numbers.
- When using the PALM THREAD SMS keyboard, the keyboard stays over the text of the message, wich is really bad to use
- There is no 6.1 for the TOUCH CRUISE right ?
Any other ideas

This is my biggest gripe with Palm Threaded SMS...

Is no one willing to do this?

VITO SMS-Chat vs Threaded SMS WM 6.1
Hi
Now that Vito has a promotion to celebrate their 7th year anniversary (SMS Chat at US$7 only), I was tempted to get it. But since WM 6.1 is coming soon... I was also wondering whether it's worth the money.
Has anyone tried both and can he/she shared the differences/similarities? What's the benefit (if any) of getting SMS-Chat?

I haven't tried other options except the Dutty 6.1 release and after experiencing the problems I had I had to revert to OEM. I installed SMS-Chat and for $7 I think its great. I am still on trial but plan to purchase. So far it has worked without issues for me. Threaded SMS nice layout. I suggest trying it before buying and make a judgement for yourself.

Hi
Thanks for the feedback. Personally, I would like to have it integrated into the default SMS application, so that it won't take up extra ROM and RAM.
But like you said, maybe I will give it a try. Before that, can you tell me whether SMS Chat is an application that needs to be launched all the time in order to access it or will it operate in the background, taking over the default Inbox, until you deactivate it?

It works in the background. I did a soft reset of my device to test it without previously launching the application and I had my wife send me a text and it automatically came through sms-chat. I like this apart from other modifications because I don't have to mess with the registry. I have full control by uninstalling it if I ever don't want the application. If you do try it let us know your thoughts.

I'm not sure whether I want to pay for something which will be made available to us free of charge eventually when WM 6.1 is out. That's why I am still contemplating about it.

What calendar app do you use?

i dont like wm calendar.
which one do you suggest? thanks

http://thumbapps.com/web/pages/thumbcal/overview.php

I use AgendaFusion since years for a perfect overview about every kind you like, categorie symbols, full colors changeable as you like it, and all details can be made on the road as on the Outlook for PC.
If you like it for easier finger touch try AgendaOne of the same developer (www.developerone.com)

Have you tried QuickCal ?

thanks guys
ill look into them and let you know!

I agree. By far the best agenda app. I'm still using 8.1, but will upgrade to 8.5 soon since it's said that it's more finger-friendly

new HTC messenger for Tilt 2 / TP2??

So, is this available for tilt 2?? Will it run without breaking it?
showthread.php?t=700495
on xda-developers forum because i'm a new member and I can't post links!
Thanks

Eh not sure but I say if the current native WM SMS client works, then why fix what's not broken?
I love the speed and simplicity of it ;p.

Well, my primary problem with the primary messenging software is that it is sooooo slow! It takes forever to open a conversation, and then the softkeyboard opens, closes, then opens again. so annoying.
ideas?

what are the specifications of the rom you are using?
is it using manila 2.5?

just tried it, hard resetting, I would say stay away from it

Thanks supernova, I think you saved a lot of us a lot of trouble lol!!!
Thanks a lot!

:-D no problem I was hopping it would work too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617142 that rom has virsion 1.5 built into it, it works grate.

What is the difference between HTC messenger and default WinMo messenger? Because my Tilt 2 has the HTC keyboard and stuff, idk if it has messenger though.
In your opinion, is it worth the ROM flash?? I've never done it before, and there's plenty of info to do it so that's nto a problem, but just wondering!
Regards
Smith

In my opinion it is well worth it, this is actually the 1st rom I have flashed that used this messenger and I like it a lot, my fav part is it actually closes and opens when you want it to insted of clicking it and waiting plus for some reason I perfer Windows 6.5.5 to the 6.5.3.

Your sig says you're using Cell Pro 8.1, but I only see up to version 1.3 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617142&highlight=cell+pro
Where did you get your ROM from?
Thanks

I am using fring...

Difference between hTC messenger and Windows
Windows Messenger uses iFrames (slow)
htc messenger looks like it uses program windows instead, but it does have problems reading from the Messaging database last time i checked(send a message and wont see it on screen for a little) but the Windows mobile messenger does sometimes freeze when its loading from the messaging database, and the program becomes unstable and wont open again without a softreset.
htc messenger looks like it belongs with sense, and Windows messaging looks like Windows messaging (outlook) blech..
htc messenger consumes a little more RAM and is believed to cause some lag problems, but Windows messenger isnt believed to exhibit either.
Im gonna install the new Htc messenger now and give it a go and ill repost here. Im using energyrom GTX

im am using 1.2, i dont update my sig a lot sorry for the mix up

Awesome
I'm pretty excited to flash to a different ROM, because I just had to do a hard reset today lol so maybe a custom ROM will be more stable

yea they usualy are more stable, 3 thinks you should test as soon as you flash lol 1: make sure you can send MMS. 2: Make sure you can recive MMS 3: make sure the data connection works.
nothing quite like getting everything set up and loaded only to figure out the MMS dosent work and you cant figure out why lol

Just updated to Cell Pro 1.2 ... INCREDIBLE!!!
SO much faster than stock, way more features, easier to use, and a lot less crap!
You guys rule haha thanks!
Regards
Smith

I have to say the htc messaging 1.8 (build 2015 and 2016 depending on what your rom needs) runs way way better then the old version. No more lag, pictures actually have a thumbnail preview in the messaging window, secure box... just awesome

Well I'm running Cell Pro 1.2 so idk if it'll take the new one??

Find out if the rom is using a 2015 or 1016 manila build. If so then yes you can use the new one.

Ok, my ROM is using manila v 2.5.20122227, so I cannot use the new messenger?
From the sounds of it, it would be a great thing to have, so if I cannot use the new messenger, how could I change my version of manila to be compatible?
Thanks
