Hiyas
Does anyone have a good small and light program that does the usual "silent", "outdoor", "normal" kind of profile management as the Nokias and SE's do??
I have tried to use a modified O2Plus (Which works on the Hermes but doesnt on the Treo 750), and Phoneweaver.
Are there any better suggestions out there?? I know SPB did have one but the last time i tried the trial version it completely slowed down the PDA and everything became very unresponsive
Thanks!!
My favorite application was SBSH PhoneWeaver on my Treo. I know you've mentioned this one, but if you ask me it's the most versatile and reliable profiler you can get!
You might also check PhoneAlarm and PhoneProfiles

It came to me in another topic that some people seem to have no problems and others have loads with wm5. I guess and I emphasise guess that this is a third party software issue.
If any of you are lik me you now have programs you cant live without, and as soon as installed the new wm5 we start adding our customisations.. ie third party software. By doing this we are not getting true feel of the wm5 and this wont help the gurus on here. I say this because we all report different errors and they cant fix them all. Indeed it will slow down their progress as they will be trying to solve too many issues.
If we all work together then maybe we can find certain programs that indeed work perfectly and others that are causing the problem.
I suggest therefore that we all list programs that appear to work and if they are free put them here so that others may try and report the findings. Thus finding the true bugs in the wm5 not third party issues.
On that note I have the following installed and have no problems at all.
SPB weather
SPB clock
Agile messenger
True fax
Ilauncher
tray launcher
bass and trebble
maybe as I dont have many that is why i have no problems..
It is more than possible that there are better programs that do the same job ie for weather etc.. Lets share our knowledge and help the likes of Mamaich, buzz and the rest
stay happy

It's not Freeware, but what works very well (for me):
MS Voice Command 1.5
Navigon Mobile Navigator 4.2
Spb PocketPlus 2.5
PHM Registry Editor
InsertCredit BatteryBar
That's all I've tested.[/b]
Is Tomtom 5 supported? It won;'t install with me...
Is tomtom 5 supported?
yes.
tom tom 5.10
spb pocket plus 3.0

Hi there,
I'm loving the new WM6 rom on my Himalaya, it's awesome.
I've been trying many different applications, tools and plugins on my Himalaya, but I thought it would be interesting to ask other people what their all time favorite tool/ application or plugin for WM6 was.
Tell us which is your favorite and why.
Are there older applications, say for WM2003SE which you would like to see ported to WM6?
Cheers
99% of old wm2003 applications work just fine on wm6
yeah..rudegear is right..
If we're talking about today plugins, I'm using just two of them: BatteryStatus and TodayAgenda.
As of other apps... you can't tell favuorite one... it depends on what are you doing with your PDA
I only have cLaunch and Phonealarm on the today screen (in addition to the WM6 calendar app). Not a big fan of all those today plugins with a bunch of text everywhere. Since today's the first thing i see, i don't want to spend too much time reading, and therefore have quick-launch shortcuts to most commonly used apps. Besides, wisbar has a bubble with batt status and free memory anyway.
My fave 3rd party apps have got to be SPB Backup (you have no idea how many times i've used the restore feature on this app), Eval (way better than the included calculator), Total Commander and of course, TCPMP.
SPB has IMHO the best Safe Mode boot option available, apart from that I do not see much difference with CFlauncher.
PocketAlarm is essential to me.
I should be getting my Kaiser the end of this week. Is there anything I should do immediately after receiving it?
Getting the Kaiser because my 8125 broke (the usb breaking issue). I'm no stranger to flashing roms, but just wondering whats the scenario with the new device.
Will I notice a big difference as far as speed/performance compared to my 8125.
Thanks!
Visit SPBsoftwarehouse.com and checkout SPB Mobile Shell - SPB Diary and SPB Phone Suite. Then for fun SPB Brain Evolution.
Then later on get PHM Registry Editor (free).
Then look into memmaid for maintenence.
Check out dutty's rom (#7 I believe).

I'd probably opt for
1) SPB's pocket plus
2) Wisbar advance 3
I'd also get
a) PHM Registry editor (free)
b) TCPMP (free)
c) MemMaid
d) Kaiser Tweaks (free)
If you want GPS navigation
i) Microsoft Live Search (free)
ii) Google Maps (free)
iii) TomTom Navigator 6 (dependant on if you have Kaiser or variant, and where you live -- free/paid)
The Kaiser ships with "Sprite Backup", this is a an older version, but works OK. Dont contemplate changing if for the "Upgraded version" or SPB Backup unless you have issues
The Kaiser also ships with GPRS monitor, this is SPB's GPRS monitor under a different name.
You might want to use the HTC Home Customiser thats around, however backup your phone before doing so (I changed my clock font using it).
the first thing to know is that htc suck because there is no hardware acceleration for the qualcom chip coz they don t want to relese the driver lol

If I had to do it over again, I would not have gone for the Kaiser. As it stands, I will likely go back to my 8125 at least for a little while until some of the issues get worked out.
You may be better off finding a cheap 8525 from ebay to use until something lives up to what you would expect from the specs. The Kaiser has many issues. Here's a few
1. Many people have complained about poor Bluetooth headset volume. This might require purchasing a new headset.
2. Since the 8125 days, you now need to buy and adapter to use a standard 3.5 headphone jack.
3. Video playback is very poor
4. Game play for anything with 3D graphics (hearsay to me) is very poor.
5. TouchFlo - It is so buggy it is pretty much useless.
6. After several iterations of both moblie OS's and PC OS's, I still can not get music to "sync" without issues. It took me DAYS to get 4GB of music synced as I had to keep reconnecting. Every 40-50 songs. This had been a problem for me since WinMo 2003 and XP, and is still problematic with WinMo 6 and Vista. I have never been a big fan of iTunes, but at least it WORKS.
7. This depends on your supplier but for me, the AT&T ROM is chock full of useless programs and lacks most of the HTC supplied programs that ship with the HTC ROM. After several days trying to essentially get the AT&T ROM to look like the HTC ROM, I gave up and flashed a cooked ROM. It sucks that I had to go through all of this trouble to get the phone set up as I liked it. I feel sorry for people who aren't up to flashing a ROM, because the AT&T ROM is truely an abomination of marketing gack. More than 50% of the programs in the standard custom install are trial version that require you to spend more money for full functionality.
Anyway, I am a bit jaded. Considering I skipped a generation (never had an 8525) I had high expectations that this would be far and away better then my 8125. It is in some respects, but so far I think it has not been worth the effort and cost. Since I had an offboard GPS solution for the 8125, about the only thing that is better on the Tilt is the Bluetooth Stereo and compatibitly with WM6 programs. It's not even that much smaller.
Before you get the 8925/Tilt - screen protector, case, large microSD (they sell up to 8gb now).
As people are saying here, you may want to do the At&t bloatware removal trick. We have 2 Tilts in the house: 1 with, 1 without bloatware. I have the bloatware, and will do the removal trick next time I need to hard boot. Not a single thing on there I need, that I can't find on Xda. The bloatware takes up about 20mb of space! The other Tilt is running great sans bloatware.
Essential programs to offset some bugginess:
- KaiserTweaks (freeware).
- BandSwitch (free or pay versions) if you have 3G in your area.
- Conduits PocketPlayer 3.5X (sound is much better to me).
Utilities:
- DinarSoft MemMaid (not free), but it has so many functions all in one: It will help with Notifications/Alarms, it is a Registry Editor, you can reformat your microSd card with it (to name a few).
- Chi-Tai Dang BatteryStatus Today Plugin (free or pay versions). Will show battery, memory, card memory, cpu usage, phone minutes/data/texting...
- Spb Mobile Shell (not free).
Programs:
- Microsoft Live Search (freeware).
- ReenSoft PiePlus (not free).
Can anyone point me to other frontents for Windows Mobile like for example
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshel
PointUI Home was another one that I tried on my previous WinMob phone, it's very responsive and smooth but it's not the most attractive front end in the world. Also, not being able to see the clock and upcoming appointments at the same time got right on my tits. To be honest I've yet to come across a front end with a Today style screen that shows everything the default WinMob one does (i.e. date/time, tasks, appointments and count of unread emails/messages) which annoys the hell out of me, I don't understand how these various companies have spent time writing front ends intended to replace WinMob yet can't give us a Today screen that even has the functionality of the default one. Is it really that hard to do?
thanks, i tried and installes 1.51a of it, but nothing happens, still standard winmob frontend... how must i intall it properly?

If it's installed properly you should now have an entry for it in your Programs list, you can just launch it from there like any other application and I think it then remains resident.
On a related note I found this Wizbar app that seems to allow the customisation of WinMob though I haven't tried this one out. There are some themes for it here.
I'm very happy with SPB software though obviously it's quite expensive to buy. I think it has a free trial.
SPB pocket plus is a genius bit of software because it allows you to quickly select from up to 7 today screens each containing various today plugins and shortcuts. You get up to 6 tabs plus your regular today screen (when the tabs are set to auto-hide).
Other today plugins I'm using are Pocket Player, DevState 1.5 (as a task manager) and SPB Time, Diary, Weather and Mobile Suite (another great program). (Not cheap )
Here are some screens - the photo is a holiday shot from Turkey:
there is also vito winterface which is iphone clone...quite nice but nothing new. i still with manila
just took the leap and did an upgrade with att. was playing with today and started to install my favorite apps.
all seemed to be running well except for spb phonesuite (only one ive installed so far).
will spb apps run on TF3D? if so, what am missing to do? if not, anybody with suggestions on what app similar with spb phonesuite? i like the feature where i can have time profile i.e. vibrate from 7am to 4pm then phone ring switches to LOUD.
thanks very much for your inputs
