ok been using site for awhile, love it, just been searching around, reading, downloading, hard resetting, getting everything the way i like it except 2 things
btw i have att tilt wm6.1
1, contacts, i like the look and feel of icontacts but its just a .exe
doesnt integrate with other apps any suggestions
2, podcast, audio podcast app
love the site, searching around has helped for all my needs but feel i need
some further suggestions, lastly for all the tilt users or kaiser im come to
find it called if your bored and want to help a new plus gloat your app
list, list what you have here for suggestions on any cool program
im running skyfire browser, the youtube app from here, htc touch dailer
s2u2 for locking and answering, thats about it.
Checkout inesoft (contacts and dialer)
iContacts doesn't integrate???
Works great with M2D "All Contacts" and can be even assigned to a hardware button.
for podcast BeyondPod http://www.codeplex.com/beyondpod is great..(i think)
nice scheduler app built in.. i have mine turn my wireless on at 1am, download my podcast and then turn my wireless off that way im ready to go in the morning...oh and its' free
Sometimes it just comes down to personal preference
A lot of folks here like PocketCM Contacts, which can handle SMS traffic as well. I've used it and liked it. I'm now using iContact which someone here wrote iDialer to intergrate with. I've also tried Vito FunContact with thier SMS Chat, also nice but not free. Right now I just prefer the look and feel of this iContact build.
For Podcasts, I'm using both Pocket Player, and Kinoma Play. I have Audible, and so far Kinoma is the only one I've used that plays nice with the Audible content.
Have fun trying everything, and you'll get your phone just the way you want it. And if you are anything like me, you'll then immediately start looking for other things to change on it!
thanks for input guys!

Hi to all.
I am a new owner of a TyTN II and former owner of 9090 and S710. I would like which is the best calendar and phone manager (missed calls) application?
I don't know about phone manager, but as concerns calendar application, I think that SPB diary is probably the best....
I go with Spb Diary and Spb Phone Suite......
I use Agenda One. For me the best, Great piece of software !
maybe he means phone explorer ( phone manager )
if that is what it means so you have only one choice
resco explorer
I'll throw in the combo I like:
PocketInformant
http://www.pocketinformant.com/?p_id=pocketinformant
SBSH PhoneWeaver
http://www.sbsh.net/product.php?id=28
SBSH PocketBreeze

Total Commander is a good free alternative for file managing
For calendar, Calendar+ is my preferred Today plugin. I bought pocketbreeze (which is similar to SPB Diary I think) when it was on special offer, but in the end I found I preferred Calendar+. I also tried TodayAgenda and, while it was good, it didn't suit me.
For missed call notifications (which seems to be missing in WM6), you might want to consider PhoneAlarm and SPB Phone Suite.

I've tried both SPB Diary and Pocket Informant. I think the second one is definately more customizable but I don't like the today screen that much and i have some problems with the GREEK language. I like the spb diary today plugin but it doesn't have links for emails and phone numbers on the appointments, so that I can call someone easily. Also when you open the appointment if the title is long you have to scroll with the arrows.. Is there a program that can combine these? I will give Agenda One a try!!
I am testing Agenda One now. It is probably the most useful application available.
I tried Agenda One, but found that it didn't have all of the features I wanted. Agenda Fusion is similar to Agenda One, but has more capabilities. Agenda Fusion is working great for me.
Oooops! I somehow double-posted.
Just curious. What do all these 3rd party calendar software have that Outlook doesn't. I've tried a few, and have always gone back to Outlook. It's nice and simple to use.
I dont call thumbcal the best , but as of now its suit my need. Very simple and finger friendly = what I want from a calendar.

I'm using this exact same set of S/W. Working well for me. PocketInformant has many better calendar views than PocketOutlook. PocketBreeze gives me flexible ways to put my calendar on my homescreen. If you go to a lot of meetings (and/or use Outlook to keep your personal calendar too) these types of views are very helpful.
Hello,
I've just tried Pocket Informant, which is very great, but it seems to not fit my necessity as I was expecting. It has "all" but what I need.
I simply need to set my "class" timetable for university. I don't want to use Excel or something similar. I thought something like pocket informant was the best one to do that, but it seems a little bit complicate. It also maybe I'm not able to use PI very well.
I also want to not use PI to view my contacts. Is there some place where I can select what PI should manage and what not? For example, I don't want Activities to be managed by PI. What to do?
Thanks a lot.
Call Calendar
One of the best ones I use, It logs all calls into your phones calendar, then will put it onto your outlook or exchange server as a private appointment.

Pocket Informant (the newest one) has settings called 'Roles' under which you can choose whether PI is the default app for calendar / tasks / contacts
Thanks a lot aberz! I'll try it as soon as possible!
EDIT: I've just tried it. That's really cool! Thank you!
...
Thank you rabdo, I'm going to look for that "role"... I hope to find it!! There are a lot of possible settings !!!
EDIT: I found it. It works very well now.
Bye!
I love Pocket Breezer, I've always used PB since I had MDA Vario and now I've got MDA Vario III but still using PB.
I'm looking for a good contacts manager. Something that is easy to use, esp with the finger. What are some of the more popular ones?
I'm currently using icontact and find it not exact enough (the letters are too small for my finger)
Thanks
pocketcm, fff
Hi
I am using photos contact pro ; very good
Finger Friendly Friends
And I'm using the Finger Friendly Friends application for this, and IMO this is a fantastic contact manager

Yes, as both sad! Its a must have. In car or on the move, makes it wery easy to find a contact for so call or send a sms (hell, even youre actual gps position).
http://www.jotto.no/fff/
Im using Vito Fun Contact.
It's perfect!
you could also look at Icontact, easy to use, even when driving....
i tired all and finally found that Inesoft Address Book 3 as the best one.
- Big keys, easy to search , good easy acess buttons, ringtone selector and profile setting, option for full screen caller id and so on...
Very stable.
Go for it and u wont repent
iContact 0.6. Very light and fast on your system and professional looking. Best of all, its free!
I second. iContact 0.6 is the best.
I've been using: Vito Fun Contact, Inesoft Address Book, Finger Friendly Friends, Pocket CM, photo contacts and still like iContacts more. My second favorite is FFF, but it's not free.
i prefer fun contact, most finger friendly for me. only thing i don't like is the loadtime with the stupid splash screen i already know it works with all languages i don't need to be reminded every time i want to call someone.
Guys is there an app that will allow you to manage your contacts from your PC?
I find it a lot easier to mess about with details on the PC than on the PDA......I've already found Dashwire but is there something else out there?
Thanks
You can manage your Contacts in Microsoft Outlook, and then just synchronize your phone with computer.
Finger Friendly Friends is what i am currently using and its great. iContact is very neat too...
I contact 0.6 is great, as it seems that its faster than Icontact 0.73 and when u close it, it closes, unlike 0.73 which you have to close from task manager.
Give it a try
I vote pocketCM - it's brilliant. With the MH-HTC v2.3 theme it looks the nads too
FFF by far
iconntact is not like the iphones contact thing at all...it has a blackbackround where the iphones is what and much easier to see..but the finger scrolling on it is very good...what is the newest version of icontacts , and is there a white version of it?

Its not like Iphone thingy, as far I know It only comes in black.icontacts new version is 0.73, but its slower than 0.60. and its got no close button. In fact they released 0.71 which had no keyboard to jump at contacts, but with 0.73 which was released within days after 0.71, they got keyboard back, but still no X.
iContact all the way
I am starting this thread because I think everyone has a favorite application. I have found in the past that when someone shares their favorite I give it a try and sometimes find it useful as well. This thread will allow everyone to see what good app's are out there and maybe be of some use.
To get it started, I would have to say out of all my applications I have installed I think my favorite is SPB Mobile Shell. I think navigating my other applications much easier with Mobile Shell.
favorite to play with is pocket snes most often used would be weather panel cuz its so versatile
I really LOVE Finger-Friendly Friends!
I use it every day!
wktask
:}
Maybe second runner up would be...
spb insight!
live search.
"where do you want to eat tonite?"
"I dunno, let me find out..."
"Wait, I want to see a movie, but what's playing? where and what time?"
"already on it..."
wktask
Another vote for. I thought I was the only one using it. The app is just so customisable. I used to use Mobile shell till I stumbled over it.
Opera Mobile 9.5 surely??????
My sole reason for keeping the Kaiser.
Also
Coreplayer: bored? Youtube? yes.
Or Youtubeplay if you're short on funds.
Don't need tabs on a smallscreen device personally but I used wktask with my Athenas and Execs.
Live search? Meh, I use SearchToday, a nice little google search plugin. Dunno who made it but it's free and very small (see attached)
Another vote for Live Search. Love the gas prices app.
I don't know about a single favorite, since different apps do very different things, so it's entirely dependent on what I need/want to do at the moment.
I do really like BeyondPod since I listen to podcasts every day when walking to/from work.
And the free weatherbug direct today plugin - best today weather app I've seen yet.
Microsoft live search or TomTom7...two of my regularly used and favorites
Worms World Party
and I really like Opera 9.5... I use every day for more than 2 hours..
cheers

can you put this plugin on your today screen? like how live search bar is on the today screen as a plugin?
One more vote for Opera 9.5 - if you haven't tried it yet you don't know what you're missing.
Favorite App
by far has to be Live Search! its the new 411 at your fingertips, easy to save contacts, quick and easy directions, traffic updates, gas finder, oh is it going to rain today? i don't know let me check. it has everything and it's free and does not need a data plan, Nuff Said!
Nice Thread!
By far my absolute favorite: SLINGBOX!!!!!
NetFront 3.5 browser comes in second
Other that that.........My Tilt being tweeked out in everyway you could imagine!
Later!
It's difficult to decide my absolute favorite, but I have found ShantzTodayChanger and BatteryStatus both incredibly useful in customizing my Tilt.
I was using googlemaps for awhile before I discovered the wonders of LiveSearch! Definitely one of my favorite apps too.
Difficult decision ...
It's like asking a fat kid in a tasty cake factory what's his/her favorite kind of cake, lol. But I'm game though. It's hard to mention just one app and many here will mention two or three apps.
Well for me, my favorite app has to be Wktask because it's highly configurable, stable, and it quickly connects me to many of my favorite apps (live search, opera browser/opera mini, tom tom, and coreplayer). I had to sneak those in, lol.
If i had to name only 1 app, it would be Opera 9.5 ! Best browser ever !
Second to that is TotalCommander, i love this and it's the application i use the most.
FlexWallet 2006
live search and def skyfire
hi, I have an HTC Fuze and I'd like to add useful applications to it. What's a good task manager? Are there any free/fun games for the Fuze out there? What applications do you find useful?
I currently have TF3D, Diamond Tweak, HTorch 3.2 and Tipster.
I'm fairly new at WM 6.1 so any assistance would be appreciated.
Unfortunately my crystal ball is currently in repair, could you be a bit more specific?
You could start with reading, or use the search option.
(I don't know what you find useful or like so no suggestions)
I'd like to know what kind of applications people have on their devices. I suppose I'd Like a better task program, free games. I'm not sure which programs are useful, but could you tell me what programs you are currently running?
So far I have added Google Maps (great app for navigating and very accurate gps) and I am planning on MS Outlook for mobile as the phones built in mail program is having issues with government mail servers ( i cant send new mail).
I am also working on software to use gps to track my distance and time when I go running.
for podcasts and rss, viigo
i would recommend dashwire if you're into mobile backup and such
PANDORA free definitely (resolution is a bit funky)
tickertape for stocks
diamondcubes
pedometer on occasion
total commander for registry tweaks or just a far better alt. to file exp.
stopwatch
lightsaber
gyrator 2 for full acce. function.
lumos for better backlight manage
skyfire for faster browsing
weather database editor for more cities
herg62123 for different clocks, sliders, and a landscape tf3d
his slide to answer port from blackstone.
that's about all the helpful things i can think of. hope this helps.
Do you need GPS for google maps to use it? Where can I download google maps for my Fuze? It seems that my Fuze is a bit a sluggish, how can I up the speed for TF3D? I already have Diamond Tweak and TF 3d Config.

the best way to really wake up your Fuze is to flash with custom rom. Course HardSPL first.
How do you input your signature? What is a Hard SPL?
Dude I don't mean to be rude but you really need to search. Alot of the answers you're after can be found in the wiki or the sticky threads at the top of the forums.
This is one of the best forums around with some of the most helpfull members, but with questions like this and members who refuse to search people wont stay nice for long.

Here you go http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=site%3Aforum.xda-developers.com+raphael+hardspl. Look at the first link. You input your signature using the UserCP on the left hand side of the brown bar at the top. and as for games and such, several people have Links to 4shared accounts in their signatures. Feel free to browse, download, and experiment.

You can use NoniGPS Plot for this, it will automatically put it into a KML file for insertion to Googleearth or googlemaps. Give it a try might give you some ideas for new addons, also i'd love to see your gps software when finished GL!
As far as this post goes programs i find useful are, notepad , I don't use a lot of apps excep imap pusher service, and also for games i really enjoy G-Invaders. Manila customizer is a good one for customizing your touch flow 3D. Also Pandora, is an amazing music streaming software even over edge network it works quite well. I use that on my decomissioned kaiser, over WiFi.
Hope that helps!
Hey guys!
I have the htc wing, or herald. Just got it a week ago, and I love the way I can add anything.

Include games too
Thanks,
Brandon

are you using the stock tmobile ROM? if you are i recommend changing ROMS (check out herald ROM development). the stock rom is soooooo slow, ugly and old lookin, and not to mention no storage space or ram left.
as far as applications this is what i have on my wing
quickmenu
cleartemp
facebook
google maps
opera mini
midomi
mToday
nitrogen music player
omapclock/omapclockplus
pandora
PHM Regedit
pocket finance diary
pocketnester
screenwriter
skyfire
stopwatch
you can find some of these at www.thewingster.com
Some other useful applications are
Total Commander (Explorer, Copy and Paste, Registry Changes, System files reading and overwriting)
MortPlayer (for me the best player, because you have the chance to change the most values, I ever saw on a freeware player - EQ, Special Effects, Control by fingers and buttons and so on)
QuigleyCE - a wonderful freeware game
OXIOs Hibernate and Close Apps to free your RAM
Showcase 1.1.0 to close or change tasks really (the "X" takes apps only into the background, they fill the RAM more and more)
and - of course - a ROM with WM 6.1 or WM 6.5 with Touch Control. But before flashing this you have to read, read, read....
Hey,
I flashed my first rom. Which is the best?
And thanks guys for the help
