Favorite pocketpc toolz + Rom @ the moment (feb 2006)

Hi XDAIIi owners,
I'd like to compare my favorite ppc toolz up till today cause there is so much new software everyday :
1. Tomtom Navigator 5 Europe with plus-maps & poi's & checkpoint
Nice 3D interface, easy to use, best GPS program.
2. Hitchhiker 0.32 (freeware Kasuei Consultant Group) 0.4 still beta with some crashes - best wifi-connection tool to get online everywhere 4 free (80% of networks no WEP keys)
2. SPB Pocketplus 3.0.4
Best program with shortcuts to all your programs & themes, ...
3. Marsware Weatherpanel
Nicest weatherpanel that updates daily the weather 4 free on your ppc
4. Photocontacts Pro
Dial someone by clicking the picture and see the picture when they dial
5. Skype for ppc : free calls to anyone (if other person has also ppc phone with wifi & skype or via desktop pc & headset)
6. Avantgo : your daily newspaper with technews, movie, sports, actual news, register and free up to 2000kb news / day / different channels.
7. Mobimate Worldmate 2006 (ideal traveltool) updates weather different travel-locations, updates flight-schedules!, currency conversions, international measurements, and other traveller stuff.
8. Pocketdivx : ideal to play avi's and other videofiles
9. Pocket Music Player Bundle v3.2 : ideal for playing music and use your xdaIIi as a mp3 player (direct play from desktop ppc-multitask possible)
10. Anton Tomov Pocket Mechanic - to format SD card (when problems) or other cleanup/tweaks
11. Favorite rom at the moment :
IMATE PDA2_WWE_11100_144_10300_ship with 1.4 radio
Anyone can add their top 10 + favorite rom ?
Which essentials are on your lists ?
I hate it that msn has no email plugin or you have to go for the paid version. There is a 'photmail' program but still in beta i think.
Cheers,
Innovator :lol:

(1) MobiPocket reader - news and magazine. IMHO, I think it is better than Avantogo.
(2) TomeRaider + WikiPedia!! Whole encyclopedia in your PPC!
(3) DKToday! monitor your phone usage!

1) resco file explorer (includin reistry editor)
great file browser awhich can work with zip and registry and has a lot of usefull tools
2) TCPMP
audio\video player that support lots of formats
that are main utils I use..
I also search icq client which supports working throw proxy( throw wifi to my pc and from proxy there to internet) and which supports russian.
I got only one client which satisfy both - but it works for 5-10 minutes than it locks up and I need to restart it...

Software Showcase

Hey everyone! I'm relatively new here and just thought i might start up a thread in which we can all post our software configurations on our Phones (Kaiser/TyTnII/Tilt/etc.). I'd really like to know what applications you all use and which ones you would recommend. Well I'll be the first to go .
FTouchFlo 1.4.1 (I really like this nifty little thing, gives you the ability to call up your Cube by a swipe of the finger)
SCLPC++ 0.051 (This is great for when you only have one hand free and need to quickly call someone or run an app, I use SCLPC++ Configurator along with it)
VTap Video (Great free Mobile video streaming program)
Microsoft LiveSearch (Excellent to find out..anything lol)
GoogleMaps Mobile (Great if you want a free gps navigator, has worked real good for me so far along with LiveSearch)
JBed3D (How many of you can resist a little 3d gaming on the go?)
PHM RegEdit (Nifty little free registry editor)
TCPMP + FlashVideoBundle (Great if you want to stream video or audio from websites, works great with YTPocket.com)
Bejeweled 2, Madden NFL, Tradewinds 2 (Some great games to play on the go imho)
MobiTV (Nice program for watching TV on your mobile)
Now to ask for a few recommendations, I need a good Large Digital Clock for my Today screen and an advanced task manager. Besides those i really would like to know any and all software everyone uses on their phones .

Everything I have listed in my signature is what I can't live without.

Pocket Controller Pro sounds Dirty.
Oh Oh do we get name tags and special fun markers? I call dibs on reb and blue first. Oh and I think it would be super sweet if we were all wearing matching shirts.
I couldn't like without Google Maps (yeah I download my maps, I'm not a cheap @#[email protected]#d) and TCPMP for my youtube/eskimotube lovin. Oh and lets not forget SiriusWM5 .. Gotta hear that Howard Stern.
BaBaBooie BaBaBooie

This is a good free digital clock for your home screen. Uses a pittance of memory as well.

Oh man with sirius wm5 thing makes my days fly by at work.
I dont have all the revision numbers infront of me.
Dopewars, pocket irc, googlemaps, sirius, morphware emulator (millipede 2fingafun), sPd, ifonz, ereader, tcpmp, yahoo go 2.0, illum listpro, spybot.

Hi there!
I have a serious request; if I can't use this program I won't buy the diamond even though I really want it.
I study chinese and bought this dictionary software:
http://www.pleco.com/ppcdownload.html
Could you please download the DEMO version and try if it works??
Thank you very much for the efforts!!!

Sorry for the delay, PlecoDict 1.0.3b works fine.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379411&page=7
According to this thread on the Kaiser part of the forum, the agps makes IGO reboot all the time. It must be disabled.
If you now how to disable agps on your diamond, can you test IGO6 and 8 again ?

Ah great!! Thank you very much for testing....now just wait till I can buy the damn phone!

Hi, Ihave checked the registry, the AGPS is 0 by default. I have tried 1 but that didint work either.

@ MartinMystere,
Do you have a Touch Diamond? If you do could you try the following program for me.
http://download.handango.com/shareware/79537/Worms_PPC_EN_HEX_1.0.4d.exe
It’s called Worms World Party from Jamdat if you can download the demo, and see if it’s easy to aim, you should have 6/7 steps between horizontal and vertical aim. It only gives me 3 steps on the orbit due to the roller ball not being sensitive enough.
Thanks...

what about Calligrapher and Phatpad?
Could you please try Calligrapher and PhatPad both big phatware. They seem to have issues with touchflo on other devices. Thanks!

Essential programs?

Hey - probably like many the HTC Diamond is my first windows mobile phone.
So do all you seasoned users have any must-have programs that you would like to elaborate on?
So far i found that a proper video player was a must, Tcpmp did it for me, simple interface, nice features, and able to playback alot of different formats!
Atm im on the lookout for a good music player, that has album/cover support, but since i hope this is for the greater good - any program you can't live without or simply like - tell us the name, function and why its so good - so we all can get the most out of our shiny new gadgets!

There are album/cover support in both media players on the device.

Advanced Config appears to be a must-have for tweaking your device. Also, any registry editor is useful in order to make additional tweaks. Besides that, a custom ROM appears to be necessary to be able to really enjoy your device, because darn, those guys at HTC can do a lot except for making good ROMs. I personally prefer the TLR Rom version 2 over the others by a lót - you'll need to install Hard-SPL and the TLR Rom and that will wipe your device. Better to back up whatever you have by Active Syncing it with Outlook first.

gsen is a must have to auto rotate more applications.

wisbar advance 3 is a must have app !! a lovely task manager that skins the complete interface
a very good PIM program is SBSH pocket breeze also skinnable(cannot use if ur on touchflo 3d)
SPB wallet for all the password and cards (i use this quite frequently)
Google maps for maps
Im not into music on the PDA but apparantly pocket music player is the best there is
and core player for movies
Lexigoo dictionary(duh)
Pocket screen snap to take snapshot of the pda screen
astraware westward astraware bubble bobble(fun ) and orions are the best games so far iv used on my pda
i use spb finance for financial accounts
other softwares people use are sbsh phoneweaver(profile manager)
