Hello Everyone! It seems like I stumble upon an awesome program for the MDA at least every week or so that is freeware. I wanted to create this thread so we could share the software with each other. Here are a couple I found in the last few days:
Minimo Browser - The pocket version of Firefox! Still in beta but very cool nonetheless. You can get it here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
FloatMe - A simple little program written by senior member _tb_tb. This program allows you to take any program that is running on your MDA and make it open in a MOVABLE WINDOW! You can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282913
Do you have any favorites? Please share them in this thread! Please provide links so others can download them
Thanks,
Randy

Smartskey. Gets used everyday without fail.

FtxPBrowser - A quirky, yet stable, browser that uses PIE as its engine. It allows multiple windows and uses tabs. You can get it here: http://park15.wakwak.com/~ftx/ftxp3e/
Just download the latest version, copy it to your device, and click on it to run. No install program!
VJ Devicelock
VJ Devicelock - Allows you to lock your device with the touch of one button. You can get it here: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock
With 1131 freeware programs for the Pocket PC {at the time of this writting}, I'm a PDAGOLD junkie! Seek and ye shall find... There's some good stuff in there.

Opera Mini.
It's way faster than Pocket Internet Explorer and it's free as well...
www.operamini.com
The "must-haves" for the Wiz:
* SmartSKey -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060 (add functionality to softkeys with press/hold)
* OmapClock -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40284 (overclocking; note SmartSKey can be set to automatically start OmapClock on start up; OmapClockPlus also does this)
* PQzII -- http://www.nicque.com/PQz/ (remap a key to act as CTRL or ALT; set keyboard shortcuts; basically makes the keyboard useful! There is a Wiz-specific version)
* Someone mentioned Vijay555's Device Lock: Lots of other good stuff there. Check out http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases
I use VJOKButt to fully close an app not just minimize
Also VJEschaton to do a soft reset from a command.
He provides lots of examples but you can set up your own shortcut to act just the way you want! Map to a key (I use DoubleLauncher which isn't free but others are)
This one is also a fave:
* http://mapforpda.com/ is a great app that let's you do dynamic maps, directions, etc. ... with a GPS option. Really nice and love that price!
Weather Watcher Mobile
I love this one. I am addicted to up-to-date weather stuff. http://www.singerscreations.com/RSS/Posts/339.asp
I enjoy this weather program, it's compact and allows for up to 3 cities to be viewed on the today screen.
http://www.tonaya.com/products/wtg/index.php
if you are a news junkie, then I also enjoy pRSSreader. It requires a little effort to put the URL's to the RSS feeds, but it gives the freedom to choose whatever feed you want.

I like to use magic button to close apps.

One of my favorites is the "fixed" O2 plus. Here is a link to show you what it has

The install files are here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=878038&postcount=17
Copy them to your device via active sync, Install the cab file starting with 1 first (install to main memory), reset then immediately install the cab file starting with 2 (install to main memory) reset then tweak and enjoy.
Credit goes to all in original thread...I just read and found and enjoyed...just passing it on.

Downloaded WM5 Pocket Mechanic Professional 2.61.204 and tried to install on my MDA and I keep receiving that it is not a valid PPC application? I have unzipped it and tried various versions to no success.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Did you tried running the setup on your PC instead of Wizard? Many PPC software requires installation from PC.

I was hoping that someone would not come back with that answer. I cannot use ActiveSync and have had problems since 09/2006 and cannot connect using ActiveSync. So, normally I download all CAB files and install directly from my MDA. I have tried everything to get ActiveSync to work. I have spent many hours using and trying all suggestions posted on this and other forums to no avail.
So, if PocketMechanic does not have a CAB file, I am not going to be able to use/install it.
Thank you very much for your reply and time. I greatly appreciate it. I guess I will try to use SKTOOLS.
Thanks again STARKWONG!!!
I just checked, and pocket mechanic does have a cab file installation version. Maybe you just downloaded the desktop installer by accident. Try redownloading the cab file version and try installing it again.

Thank you for your response. I did find the CAB file version of PocketMechanic. I downloaded V 2.61.204 Trial Version and just my luck the Trail Version expired. So I will continue to search. This is where I obtained the TV:

Thanks again!
Did you already have a trial version of Pocket Mechanic installed on it before? If you did, then it won't matter which trial version you try because once the 30 days is done with on the first version you installed your 30 days are done on all of them. The only way to get another 30 days worth of trial is to do a hard reset on your phone and then install it again.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my posting. No, I have never installed PM before. I would not do a hard reset as I have too many other applications that I would have to reinstall. I gues I will just call this a 'write-off.'
I greatly appreciate your time and knowledge.

Thank you for your information. No, I have never installed or tried to install a version of PM on my MDA. I would not do a hard reset as I have to many applications on my MDA to reinstall. Yes, I could do a restore, but I don't believe it is worth the effort. I use SKTools (free version) and that will suffice my needs for now.
Thanks again, I greatly appreciate your time and knowledge.

If you've never had it installed on your phone, I'm not sure why it would tell you that the trial had expired, it shouldn't. I just downloaded the newest version and put it on my wizard and didn't have any problem. It still had 30 days left on the trial. What tools that pocket mechanic has are you looking for? I may be able to help you find freeware versions that work just as well.

I just like to try different software. I am online a lot and do a lot of searching for new/different apps. I am tired of sinking money into apps and then finding out they do not live up to their overviews.
Examples of some are SPB Weather, Traveler and Finance. Weather is off by 4 - 5 degrees, Traveler looses the weather when you do a soft reset, Finance is not compatible with Quicken 2007. I have a lot of sw loaded on my MDA and constantly look for better apps. I will post a list of what I do have and use later today.
So, with PM, it was a matter of comparing it to SKTools. I do use SKToolsLite as it is free. I also use SKTools and only get the 6 results.
I do appreciate your time and help.

Since you've never tried pocket mechanic before, maybe you mistook how it opens as the trial being over. When it first opens, it plays an alarm bell sound and shows you a page that says Notice at the top, if you read it it tells you how many days you have left in the trial, then when you click close it pops up another page that asks you for the serial number and if you click close again it will let you access all of the modules.
If you're looking for a really good weather program, try Weather Panel. Just go to this thread to check it out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307781. By the way, most weather apps get their info from the closest weather station to your location so if it's off by 4 to 5 degrees it's propbably not that close. Also, the difference between the temp in the city and the temp in a very close rural area can easily be 4 to 5 degrees different, sometimes even more.
As for finance software, sorry, can't help you there. My entire finance method is keeping track of things in my head and an occasional checking of my account online to make sure I didn't lose track.

Many of the apps are duplicated such as: Time and Traveler. Buy Traveler as it contains Time, Weather, Conversions, etc.
I would be willing to accept your opinions on these and other apps.
I have tried many other apps and removed them for something above.
Be more than glad to explain my Value Ratings.
Thanks again!

You still ca install most of the progs which come only with a PC installer even without Activesync being able to sync.
Just install the app, at the end it will tell you the software will be transferred the next time you do activesync.
Now the trick
The installer has created a folder with the required CAB files.
Either directly under "Programm files" or under "programm files\microsoft activesync"
Just pick the CAB and put it on your HTC

Hi. I use Evernote all the time but get frustrated by the lack of offline viewing. I remember using the orignal technical preview a couple of years ago that did store your notes on the device. I also thought it was the best notes ever! I kept the cab file and kept installing it but have lost the file.
Would anybody have, or know where I can get, the cab of the preview app?
mods : delete.
EverNote Mobile Preview
EverNote for Windows Mobile Technical Preview cab attached.
Great program. Apparently, they're releasing this as their, "full client," down the road, and the 3.x versions are just a, "capture client," for basic users. [info from their forum]
Thanks so much - just what I was after
Haven't been about for a while, but got annoyed with the current myspace solutions, so i knocked up this cab.
Firstly thanks to Emaster101 who came up with and developed the shell, his thread is here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511619 . I have put it together in a cab so that a shortcut installs to the program manager, and is identifyable in M2D program manager and includes an uninstaller.
For screenshots see Emaster101's thread.
thanks man
Hi,
I have created an app, that will turn every WP7 device into a mind machine.
It contains both light and sound wave brain stimulation.
Could you please try it and send me some feedback?
(It is paid, but the trial version contains a lot of stimulation programs for free.)
