I would like to have following softwares on my windows mobile 5 phone (imate SP5). I don't know if any freeware software exists or not but if they don't i may give a try developing few of them.
DISCLAIMER: If you think some of these are already present in WM5 or don't make sense, don't laugh, just let me know. I am a newbie for windows mobile.
1. A basic notepad.
2. A feature/hook which would enable copy/paste operation in every textbox. 2a. A feature that would allow to paste frequently used text/phrases in every textbox.
3. Word, Excel like application with view/edit facility (of course, cannot develop this one
4. Software to explore files on my PC from my mobile. Ability to setup networking share over a bluetooth/WiFi connection between a PC/mobile and a mobile/mobile would be good. Ability to copy/paste the files.
4a. RDP from PC to Mobile and vice versa.
5. Chat over Bluetooth/WiFi between PC/mobile and mobile/mobile.
6. Video/Audio streaming between PC/mobile and mobile/mobile over Bluetooth/WiFi. Ability to use mobile as a web cam/mic.
7. A good todo list manager with reminders etc. (I don't know why but the Tasks application inbuilt in my mobile is totaly featureless. I can enter a new task but cannot set its priority, reminder, start/end dates, etc.) Synchornization with Outlook.
8. Tabbed IE Browser.
9. A wallet type application to store personal data.
10. Following app: Based on specific tower id (mobile network tower), changes the profile of the mobile from normal to silent and vice/versa.
11. Software similar to command prompt or Run Command in windows.
12. Call recorder.
13. A better task manager.
14. Expense manager.
15. Stopwatch.
16. Better calculator than provided by default in WM5.
17. Registry Editor.
18. RSS Reader.
19. Use mobile as a remote control for TV (over infrared)
for PC (like playing stopping songs on PC) over bluetooth/WiFi.
20. Bike/Car Odometer recorder.
If applications exist, well and good. If they don't, as already stated, I might give them a try. However, I would like to have pointers on how to develop. I know .net but am poor in native code.
Anybody out there with a reply to any of the above items???

please ask google first for those questions. and I'm sure if you had, you had seen this wonderful site:
www.pocketpcfreewares.com
I did google. That's the first thing anybody would do. But could not find much.
And the site link you have sent is in a non-english language. Is there english version?

there are two flags....one French and on English...if you press the English flag the French site,magically,turns into an English site and vice versa... Man,you are too lazy....don't ask others to find what you want.... Also if you have searched google,as you say,you would have found,that if you type for example "notepad wm5 ppc",a nice notepad would appear on top of the list "Pocket Notepad"...
Thanks man.... I did look there for such thing... just didn't notice...
Most of the apps you requested do exist.
I am not going to do the search for you but here are a few hints:
1) SoftMaker has very powerful Word and Excel replacements and I remember them releasing a smartphone version a while back.
2) Total commander is free and works great on PPC should work fine on SP as well for file browsing locally and over WiFi.
3) Pocket Controller for RDP from PC to SP and try LogmeIn for SP to PC.
4) Minimo is slow but practically the most powerfully browser for Win Mo. and it has tabs. (Also free)
5) PHM is a free reg editor.
And there are plenty of other apps.
He who seeks shell find!
Sorry to say this but a Windows Mobile phone might be too advanced for you if you can't figure out search engines.
***MOD EDIT***
LINK TO WAREZ SITE REMOVED... while alot of us probably use that site, xda does not condone links to warez.

But I'm serious. Also why sign up for a more advance PPC forum like this and ask a question in the Development and Hacking forum?

Instead of making this post he should have spent some time in the SP5 forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=285) and read before asking questions.

I know, and I agree. I just found the way you said so amusing - I had to reply I really did lol
Thanks to all of you but I found the post by levenum the most useful. I can google but was looking for some pointers like he gave. and yes SP5 forum would have been a better place to ask this.
I got the idea to make a application finder software for Windows Mobile. Specially designed to HTC Diamond, with many G-apps & games and other nice apps. It's under development now, and i will release one screenshot for you.
This app will not be just an styled IE-frame, like many "appstore" like apps that have been released before.
19. October 2008:
New Screenshot of the start screen.
Development stopped, becouse of the Gecko project.
I think this is a phenominal idea. The idea that went around recently was an internet based solution through ie explorer and it just was not device friendly. To have a device based solution is much more sensable. If you could create a server that developers could upload their most recent programs too that would be the best.
Maybe contact the system admin on this site and see if he will give your program to access the sites FTP server or something. Then a user could use your device based program that would seemlessly connect to the interenet in the back ground, poll the server for software, sort it and place it into a thumb friendly interface on the phone by which it could be sorted into categories of games, utilities, themes, programs etc etc....
Of course the admin would have to create those categories on the site's side and the developers would need to upload their program to the correct one but I think everyone has been in such a need for this that they would be willing to do it without much arm twisting.
Or, you could create device user interface that interacts with Orb.com... But then you would have to get the updates of programs and upload them to ORB for your program to work. But ORB does already have a sorting feature that your user controls on the device could be made to access for sorting etc. It even has a video section that a user could download tutorials of different programs that someone took time to make.
All just ideas. Some you may find good or not. I am excited to see a device based program though. It make user intereaction easier.
Curious G.
yes
Its a good idea, keep working on it
seems to be a nice idea
I like the idea but this really depends on what will be offered / how updated the actual site behind the store application is. Have you had any thoughts on that yet?
i second that.
at this time i browse via opera tho xda to download stuff... but having a app that simplifies things would be even better...
maybe all the downloads here could be managed and put upto "youre" server in an automated way..
I remember seeing this article a few weeks ago about Microsoft creating their own app store.
http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/n.../job-advert-reveals-microsoft-skymarket.phtml
Either way, it's certainly a good idea!!
I forward the notion. An app that has all the apps at hand for easy download by category would kick some serious asss..
If I can help in any way let me know.
Greetings to all.
Love this development. Maybe this progress will open up eyes on new skilful programmers and we will see an increase of good looking apps and games. Not that I don't just love the things going on here at xda. But the more the merrier, right? The only complaint that I might have on this forum is the all the threads with wallpapers and especially the ones with half-naked women...But that's me...
So an app store (or two) is going to make it easier for us to sort out what we are interested in and only that.
If needed count me in I can help develop..
Great idea.
In the spirit of AppToDate, which I found worked very very well. But with YouTube-app like interface, all connected to database were latest apps can get installed.
Great idea!
I'm working to figure out how to connect to MySQL from a windows mobile based device, does anyone here know?
double post****
i think if these two threads could be incorporated
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428480
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433913
that would be a good way to do storage
each developer could use have there own account and then whenever they updated there app they update the wapps link via web or give it like some type of flash capabilities that would be really great
or there could be a generic account that ever one uses to upload too
looks like this is in the works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436127
maybe some collabo might be nice
Nice project!! GoOd Luck!!
If there was a way to advertise this app when it gets made. the diamond would sell millions
Why not just modify a RSS feed reader?

Maybe Sqlite is more accurate for a mobile device ?
And you just download the sqlite file available on a server, this way requests would be very fast.

Yes, every time you start it will update from the web or you can click on a button to update (or an 'update every x minutes' function
please keep up the hard work!!!!! love to see this appstore happen!
I am a formula 1 race fan and the official website provides a rich and powerful java app for PDA's that is truly cool. It provides live timing, circuit data, weather conditions etc
See http://www.formula1.com/mobile_services/live_timing.html
The application detects I am downloading this to my HD2 and it installs well and runs quite well. However everytime I shut it down I have to go to the website to download it again !?
It doesn't appear in my installed applications list and I can't find the formula1.jar file it downloads.
Can one of the code gurus on here help track down where this app goes so we can have it all the time?
The only clue I can see is that it shares the same icon as the jblend application found in the tools section.
What is JBlend???
When I click on jblend I get the F1 2010 application appear with several options (one of which is local install) but nothing other than going to the full download works.
Can someone help please I am obviously not across the java implementation here
JBlend is a Java emulator.
Open it and your F1 app will be on list. Mark it and run - thats all.

Hi Franq, I get "Uncaught exception!" when trying that. Thanks in advance of any additional help you can provide.
A lot of people have had problems with the F1 live timing, the issue is Jblend. Install Myriad Java then download the Living timing again and it should work properly.
In fact I'll just upload the stuff

xavierdemon thanks for share! I did'nt know that there is some other Java emulator. I need it for emulate Java apps, which use Bluetooth - JBlend can't do that. I hope this one can. Thanks
Many thanks. I'll give it a go. Didn't realise the HD2 had such a crap Java emulator.
Myraid is the best java emu ^_^

Hi I installed it and can't find it anywhere in my programs list though it is listed on my installed apps list.
Also I deleted the app from JBlend but when I go to download the app from the website again it choses JBlend to use for the install.
When I go to run the app I get the same problem in JBlend.
What am I doing wrong?
Reset after installing Myriad and then just unzip the attached file and copy the contents to your device and run it.

Brilliant ! A nice shortcut in the program group has appeared!
How did you do that ??
How did you guys get hold of the Install file and how did you setup the install to ask the extra questions such as where to install the app so it appeared?
Why did the application writers not write it to do this!?
LOL lots of question there but as I said before it's a well known problem caused by Jblend being frankly just utter rubbish .
The Live Timing is awesome though adds a whole new dimension to the races .
Agreed re the awesomeness of the livetiming. I always watched the races on my PC with the full web version of live timing running side by side to the broadcast. Now I can sit in front of the big screen and just watch the live timing from my PDA.
Many thanks

Hey xavierdemon, I am getting prompted that a new version of the app is now available for download. I wonder if you could create a package like you did previously for my HD2 using the updated version?
I'd love to know how you did this so I can do this myself and I can stop hassling you my friend.
Just use this link
http://mobile.formula1.com/download/start/HTC-HD2/Formula1.jar
Thanks very much
quick question on the java side of things. Is there a sun java version for windows mobile still? i remeber having it my artemis but i can't seem to find a copy of it anymore.
The living timing app does sound cool, though. I think i'm gonna go get it and try it out this weekend. I'm also wondering if there is something similar for the Le Mans 24 hours. On that note check out radio le mans. I used it last year for the commentry and it was so much better than eurosport.
I also had problems with Formula1 and JBlend.
So I installed Java Myriad
With Myriad no problem using Formula1 (2010 App)
But I can not run.
When I open Myriad, I have my application but I do not know how to run it.
So every time I pass by the formule1.jar which retry installation, then launch it.
How to run it from Myriad or better make a shortcut to launch my application directly
coooool!!!!!

Good Luck with this post.
You can't just put up a cab and say "Please add these ridiculously complex features to this peice of software that I have no rights to. And, oh yeah, it is for an operating system that hasn't been developed for 3 years."
How about this:
Does anyone know of a file management program for windows mobile that allows you to send files over bluetooth and to upload files directly to...(?)?Then you might get a response like this:
Hi azhee1314, I use Resco File Explorer 2010 (V8.10) and it allows you to send files over bluetooth, can connect to network shares and to ftp. It really works great for me and I have used it for years.

Morning all,
I have never created an app, but decided to look into it late last year. I began work on an app around September 2014, did a little work every weekend, and haven't really touched anything since November.
I have experience with HTML, CSS etc (I can write them). I can also have a basic understanding of other codes such as PHP, JavaScript, Java, C etc - basically, enough that I could take some code and edit it to suite.
I was hoping that creating an app would a) help grow my current business and b) give me a new challenge to learn new code.
Anyway, I'm really stuck on what to do. I downloaded Eclipse at home, but my laptop is on it's last legs. I have been creating the app at the office, using Adobe Flash Builder 4.7. I read a few tutorials, and downloaded some sample apps to learn from (as part of some of the tutorials). However, none of them have what I want.
My App Idea
So, enough waffling on, I'll try and explain my app without giving away what I want to do.
Basically, the app will be one where users can enter an error code, and press search. The result would be a page showing the description of the error code, and then what the solution is to fix it. There is then potential to add a "buy this part from" link which will suggest suppliers to visit.
So, as an example, let's say a user got a Blue Screen error code on their PC of "ABC1234". They would enter that code into my app, and the result would say something like:
Code: ABC1234
Description: RAM Error - overheating
Fix/Solution: Replace RAM
What I Have So Far
Other than a couple of test files that I've been learning with, I don't have anything solid in terms of an app. What I do have though is an Excel file with 889 error codes and what each code means.
What I Need
So, I guess what I need is either:
some help/guidance on how to create an app that in it's simplest form is a home page with a search box, and then 889 pages in the background that return depending on the searched error code.
or, someone willing to help me develop such an app
Firstly, download Android Studio - Don't use eclipse anymore
Secondly, here is a tut on using an older version of Android Studio
Have a go, see how you end up. Let us know, if you're really needing help, ask here again
Thanks,
I'll have to try that once I get home as the IT Administrator at work has to vet everything that gets installed.

Thanks sir but do we have a highly compressed Android Studio? 800mb+ is such a big file to download.
Like minooch said, install an IDE, understand how it works and then try some tuts on Internet to learn how Android works. What you want to do isn't really hard, you'll manage quickly to do it but you will be prouder if you do all by yourself.
Some hints : Don't go coding directly, try to organize your project (data structure, classes, methods) before starting to code. On a small project, it's not as important but if you start doing things well now, you'll thank yourself in the future
