A guy like me prefers a diffrent sort of app campaign than most ppl
On my tytn.. before it went for a swim i had app along these lines:
Emulators
Media player close to Winamp.. Gps player or sumthin like that, it was capable of streaming internet radio was well as playing mp3's
Instant messenger program.. i was using octrotalk because it was free and offer many of the same features of Im+ and Agile messenger. although i woudl have liked the send picture feature that Agile has!
Google Maps... with the Kaisers GPS i cant imagine how sweet It'll be
Alternate camera App.. i forgot what mine was called but it booted up much faster and offered a couple more options that the stock camera app
Java and Flash for Internet Browsing
Finally tons of custom Today screens and Dial pads.. i wasnt to into the lakeridge software apps because they required me to pay, and they ran off of my windows mobile OS as a completly diffrent OS (almost)... but the dial pads i found at zombienexus were pretty sweet
If anyone has gone ahead and found their favorite apps along these lines for their Kaiser i would apreciate it if they could post this findings for me and the rest of the forum users!

Emulators - None
Media Player - Tcpmp with flash enable hack
Instant Messagner - IM+ Ver 4.45
Map - Micorsoft Live Search with GPS
Jave/Flash - Built in Java, Flash lite
Today - Using HTC Home ver 2.0
Well, Lucky me just got a free Kaiser, nice upgrade from the hermes I must say.
But I'm having one slight problem. TCPMP won't work on Kaiser or WM 6.1 (Not sure what is causing the prob) (Yes Tried several versions including the latest RC)
So what other FREE if not Easy to get Media Players are there?
I Wish to Watch the show "scrubs" on the train to work each morning and coming home in the evening.
Recommendations?
get tcpmp rc3, do a search on this board.
look for this heading

Hi Everyone,
My HD7 arrived today and I have started to set it up etc. (I am in the UK)
Any questions you want to know fire them at me.
I am coming from a Galaxy S so it does seem a tad limited for now until the apps catch up.
So far I have noticed the following oddities.
OS based Issues MS need to fix
Video player does not play audio via A2DP. (music does)
Bluetooth settings lack any options for type (Headset/Stereo) settings (no real issue)
Mobile IE does not render Toodledo/slim well so not sure about other sites.
Zune software - Podcast section does not appear in market in UK have to add rss feeds manually to the app.
No custom ringtones/other sound settings
No option to connect to WIFI with hidden SSID
Only syncs main calendar from any source not any additionals.
Media HUB only remembers the location of the last video in the play list that is "paused" once you move to other items of music or other videos it forgets the place.
Other issues not OS related. (all will be fixed over time with good apps)
Lack of apps is a real issue on day one. This should change.
No TODO app with push notifications available! big issue for me.
YouTube App just loads the m.youtube.com so its really just a player engine once you pick a video from the site.
Videos get converted on the fly during sync which makes this a slow process. Should kick off the conversion as soon as you say sync to phone.
Other than these points the phone itself is really nice and fast, no lag at all.
Takes some getting used to but I am trying hard to make it all work.
Russ
No connection to hidden SSID? That sucks!
Can you categorise imported/synched videos into any album you want and rename the albums? So I could have say one video album labelled FAMILY, one labelled, FUNNY, one labelled MOVIES etc
Thanks for the input. What's your opinion of the screen coming from samoled? How is the ringer volume compared to the Samsung?

I got mine today, just sold my Galaxy S, still have my iPhone 4.
Screen is almost as good as iPhone, nothing like Super AMOLED sadly.
Biggest issue for me is speakers are terrible.
Kev
Oh okay thanks for the info. I had an ip4 so if its close to that I am cool. I hate to hear the speakers suck. That's big issue for me. Especially since I can't add my loud ringers I usually add if speakers suck on the phones I get

I thought the HTCs had Dolby Surround or whats it called How can they be worse than the competitors?
I may be mistaken but Dolby Sound and SRS only work when headphones are plugged in. Maybe someone can confim.
i Can confirm that both SRS and Dolby mobile work through headphones and through the speakers, when putting on Dolby does make it sound slightly louder and clearer for me!!
That's great to hear

As far as I can make out on my Zune software I can not group videos into playlists so there does not seem to be an easy way to get it to auto sync unless you pick the ALL option.
Still messing with it though.

Agreed, the screen is nowhere as good as the Galaxy but if you have never had a Super Amoled then I dont think you will be disappointed.
Speaker volume is very low compared to my Galaxy also. I thought the grills at top and bottom were speakers but they are just for show.
The speaker is next to the camera on the back.

This is not true, without the Youtube app you can't play Youtube Videos from the website. The App contains necessary Code/Drivers which allow you to play Youtube videos whethere going through the App/Link or from IE.
Also the Front Mounted Speakers are still being questioned. HTC seemed to have advertised the phone to Reviewers/Critics as having "Front Mounted Stereo Speakers" however atm they are either not used (software update required from M$) or HTC were lying. I'd like to hope it's teh first one but you never know
The Screen on mine is brilliant when the brightness is set to High. When on Auto it seems to keep screen brightness on Medium which is a bit rubbish and doesn't show it off very well. Get it on High and you'll notice the difference. It's (very) hardly noticable from the HTC Desire's when they're side by side, but the fact it's massive far outways that.
Thats was my point about it being just a player engine (codecs etc). I was comparing what I know from Android for a youtube app and was suprised it was not a full in app experience.
But being able to play the videos at all is a big plus.
Agree on the screen, set on HIGH it looks very nice and anyone will be happy with it but I am not sure what impact the battery is going to take. Side by side with a galaxy S though you do see the difference but if you never had a super Amoled then you wont care at all.
What is a score with Low - Med - High anyway, wheres the slider for brightness. Seems like a miss that should have been easy.
Russ
Ah apologies I misread you on the YouTube thing. I've left my screen brightness on high for a few days now and I must say I haven't even noticed a difference in battery life, although tbh my battery life is terrible anyway. Why HTC chose a 1200 instead of a 1500 is beyond me.
Waiting on my new HTC HD7 arriving this afteroon, been using an HTC HD2 with hacked Android and love it apart from the bugs etc...
Have 14 days to decide weather its worth it or if i need to switch carries to the Desire HD...
Hurry up DHL!!!
Did you already try to install on your HD7 some .CABs developed for WM6 ?
There are a couple of apps (SPB Wallet, iGO8) I couldn't live without, and losing them under WM7 would be a big problem.
Thanks

1) Absolutely, positively no possible way ANY Windows Mobile apps will run on Windows Phone 7 as it exists today.
2) What is this "WM7" of which you speak?

...you mean that NO existing app running on WM6.x will run under WM7 ?
No backward compatibility ?
Apps have to be completely rewritten ?
Please tell me I'm wrong
PS WM7 = Windows Mobile 7
exactly, WP7 and WM6 are 2 different pairs of shoes. You also cannot run a Windows program on a Commodore C64 Btw. there is on Windows Mobile 7, it´s called Windows Phone 7,
cheers
Hi every one i hope you guys could help with my hd7, i just got it and very happy with it but there is some stuff i dont understand like for example why i cant not stream online radio like on my hd2 if is a windows device and its thru windows media player. no flash, i feel like windows 6.5 could do more and after using android on the hd2 im cosidering going in to a tmobile g2. but i love windows more than android because of the online streaming, is that something they working on or should i go back to hd2. thanks
You could get a Zune pass and stream music not free though but very good

I found several apps that will stream music, you can try "iheartradio" app. It has you select a region and has local stations (a bit behind the actual broadcast if you listen to both simultaneously) and there are specialty stations. There is also "Slacker" I like "iheartradio" a bit more though.
Hi Guys.
I am quite new to the XDA website, and i have searched high and low for a thread with a solution to what I am looking for.
I I am currently using a Galaxy S4, and I have installed versions of the Walkman App dating back to April/May 2014 that had Music Unlimited integration built in. But because the app was outdated, it would refer me to Update Centre to update the app before I could successfully sign in and use the Music Unlimited Integration. Otherwise the app was working fine.
I have searched the internet high and low for a newer version with working Music Unlimited but i cannot find it anywhere. Everything seems to be the music player itself rather than the Music Unlimited functionality. Has anyone got any suggestions?
Again, this needs to be latest version of the app on either respective Xperia Z phone (i dont really have a preference)
I am currently Un-rooted and on standard Kitkat build for the S4.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
