What Applications and Games do you use on you HTC Magic? - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

Getting my phone soon, and cant wait to start "geeking" whit it. but instead of starting blindly on the android market and other places to find good apps and games i decided to ask here.
What app and games do you use and recommend`?

I've had my Magic for a little while and use the following apps:
beebPlayer - Similar to BBC iPlayer
Glance - File Manager
gTraffic - UK Traffic Reports
Flixster - Movie Listings & Cinema Times
Quickpedia - Mobile version of Wikipedia
Qype - Find shops etc that are nearby
SMS Popup - Pops up your SMS when received
Twidroid - Twitter Client
Youtube - Youtube player
There's lots out there, you'll spend ages on the Market!

appmanager
weatherbug
anycut

beebplayer - as mentioned above
ebay
ebuddy - multi IM app, stopped using as it disconnects too often
IM+ lite - multi IM app, also disconencts but seems better than ebuddy
flashlight - all in the name
ebay
newsrob - rss reader that syncs with outlook reader
opera mini - find it better than the installed browser, shame it can't be made default
shazam - to recognise music tracks
shopsavvy - scans prouct barcodes to find you better deals
skype
youtube
touchdown - push email/calendar/contacts app
places directory - uses gps to tell you what places are around you and gives reviews & directions (e.g. restaurants, cinemas, banks etc)

You specifically asked about games so my recommendation is "Bonsai Blast", spent ages on that!

labyrinth FULL 2.99
Bonsai blast FREE
Prince of persia 99p
Shazam FREE
Bacgrounds FREE
Imeem mobile FREE
Toggle buttons (for wifi bluetooth etc) FREE
Taskiller (task manager) FREE
These are the apps i use
Anyone know any emulators (snes gba etc) that work with magic or g2 with no hardware keyboard

Anyone now of a good/bether picture frame app?

I'm guessing we'll need to wait till the hero gets an emulator for snes and such. There's multi touch in that system, so it'll no doubt be exploited. Then it should be possible to use it on the Hero Rom.

I was also curious as I am considering the Tmo My Touch...I have a bunch of M$ apps from my wizard, and in the spec reports on the My Touch it says it syncs with M$...so does this mean I will be able to use my M$ games like Insaniquarium on the My Touch???
To be honest, knowing a yes or no to this question will be a make it or break it thing, so the most details you can provide would be of great help to me in deciding whether to get the My Touch or just buy a used Kaiser.
Thanks in advance!

Seriously?
No. It is android, not windows mobile. So you won`t be able to use windows apps on it.
It syncs with Microsoft Exchange, so you can use e-mail and calendar from your business.

New Tilt/Kaiser User:

Somehow I have stumbled my way through search engines and ended up here.
I bought an at&t tilt and I am loving it. Does anyone know if there is a way to remote desktop to the mobile itself? Such as remote desktop or vnc?
I would love to know your favorite apps.
Right now mine are
1.) Google maps
2.) Keepass(a must for any IT consultant)
3.) mToken(ssh, telnet, etc)
4.) Skype(works well when you get a headset for your tilt)
5.) Sprite Backup
6.) Core Player(man I wish there was an way to make Pocket IE use it as the default video player)
I am looking at the PDair Aluminum Case as I have a bad habit of either coughing, spilling or dropping my pda/phones.
This is a great community and resources, thanks to those who established it.
ActiveSync Remote Display
Mobiler
SOTI Pocket Controller
Read the Wiki
And My Mobiler does what your looking for.
The things i use the most with my Tilt is
Tomtom 6
HTC Home
Skype
Resco Radio
And my Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.
Also like to Use SPD Mobile DVD to put Futurama and other movies on my Phone.
Welcome! My favorite apps are: SPB Mobile Shell 2, Opera, Tom Tom, Kaiser Tweak and Kaiser Notification. The last 2 apps I listed are invaluble for taking care of most of the "nits" you'll come across.
This forum is a great resource... just about anything you'll come up with a question for has already been discussed at some point in the past.
Searching is the word of the day here (every day), and patiently reading thru the threads that you come up with will pay dividends!

Windows Mobile Equivalent Apps (Equivalent to Symbian S60 V3)

Hello again,
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I’m due to upgrade my handset in the coming weeks from an N95 to the Touch Diamond (MDA Compact 4)... I have some really good apps on the N95 which I rely on a lot. I was wondering if anyone knew of any WM6.1 alternatives to the following apps...
Nokia Internet Radio
http://europe.nokia.com/A4668051
Hundreds of streaming radio stations over WiFi or HSDPA
Shazam ID
http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/page/default/template/pages/p/shazam_id.html
Music track identification - the app records a sample of the track and tells you the name and artist via data connection WiFi or HSDPA.
Nokia Sports Tracker
http://www.nokia.com/A4388200
GPS Tracking of my sports activity (running / cycling etc) routes viewable in google earth via KML file.
Nokia Conversation
http://www.nokia.com/A4568203
View text messages listed by contact as opposed to going to inbox and sent items separately
I've already checked my other key apps:
Shozu
JoikuSpot
Route 66
And they all appear to support HTC devices such as the Cruise and the Kaiser etc, so I should be ok there.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated - not sure if i should of used a different forum for this really.... if a mod feels ti should be moved please go ahead
Garry
1) the original wm 6.1 text messaging shows you both the send and received at the same time and you can also see them while you r typing so you could reply back to the received questions
2) there is also a program for internet radio on the htc, i have used it and it is perfect. it think it is spb radio. check it out
Excellent, thats a good start Thanks!
Anyone have any alternatives to Shazam and Sports Tracker?
Alternative for sportstracker is RUNGPS
Ah sweet! Thanks lappie!!
after some searching i found tthese....theres probably better ones but the results looked promising:
http://www.mobilemarketingmagazine.co.uk/2006/04/shazam_for_wind.html
http://www.getjar.com/products/12049/InetToolsTrackID
http://thinkabdul.com/2007/06/17/fr...t-album-info-of-recorded-music-clipsongsound/
Another nice Symbian application is Nokia's Lifeblog, overall due to its ability to get synchronised with the PC client... Is there any equivalent in the PPC world?

Thats brilliant, thank you very much
Ya truly something like Nokia Lifeblog in PPC will be truely appriciated..
New here and also looking into moving off Symbian and over to WM... scary stuff ;-)
We do a lot of geocaching and having Geocache Navigator installed on the N95 is great (when a phone signal is present of course) to find cache's close by or check on cache details without having to take printed pages along. It will also guide you via a compass and bearing to the Lat Long location of the cache...
Any apps specifically for geocacher's that will interact with the geocahce web site / data base ?
cheers
Shazam ID works on Diamond
I have Shazam ID working on the Diamond. One problem.... I have to reset the Diamond each time I use the program. For some reason it will not shutdown properly because it is not made for a touch phone. Maybe someone knows how to use it better???

the version you are using (musidid) looks like absolute crap on the VGA screen. very distorted. Its so sad there is no decent version of shazam on windows mobile - I used to use it all the time.

What is you single most favorite app

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

contact apps

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!

Useful Applications, Games, Task Managers, Calendars Needed

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!
