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)
tomtom7
is the only app u need
Hi brothers & sisters,
Recently, I tried surfing youtube with my kaiser and using Opera 9.
But whenever I tried to view a video, it says either I do not have the latest flash player or my java script has not been enabled.
I downloaded the latest flash player 7 and my java script has been enabled, but still I am unable to view.
This applies to some of the application in facebook and other website.
What is the missing plugin?
What should I do?
You help and advices are very much appreciated..
Thank you!!!

I tried http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=13&act=all but still unable to find that plugin.
You won't get a plugin for OPERA as of yet!
OPERA states clearly on their BETA notice that "Browser plug-ins are disabled by default due to non-existent or incomplete system" and "Flash plugins and embedded video streaming do not work."
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/download/
You will have to wait for a later BETA Release or for the final (commercial) version!
As already suggested by jvfowlerjr, you can use the STREAMING MEDIA PLAYER - easiest way of doing it:
Open Pocket IE, switch its view to SINGLE COLUMN, go to YOUTUBE - enjoy! The SMP will start automatically each time you click on a video.
Ok, so I am trying to stream videos from youtube through pocket IE, but every time I go to open a video, it opens in mobile real player. How do I redirect it to open in htc smp, so I can actually watch videos?
try as follow:
TCPMP0.72RC1 with FlashVideoBundle (search forums for thoose) and you will able to play streaming from IE.
If you are located in United States - then try Skyfire browser.
And next time....
SEARCH! It has been covered bazillion times.
I hit search and was directed to this. I am in the US, and do use skyfire, but it's a pain in the ass when you can simply boot up piocket ie with your homepage set to mobile youtube. I' assuming then a tilt can not do it this way, or...?
Yes, it can!
I am not sure what ROM you're running on your device? The factory WM6.1 HTC shipped ROM has the streaming media player integrated.
I have somewhere a CAB installer (taken from a ZINC II) but I am not sure if that would run on WM6.0. I also don't know if you would have to extract the CAB and copy it manually to your Tilt due restrictions in the installer (as I said: it is taken from the ZINC II on WM6.1), however, getting it on there shouldn't be hard to do! If you want to give it a try, the file is attached below!
Sorry, I had to pack it in a ZIP file, the FORUM UPLOADER did not accept it as CAB - simply extract, copy to your device and try to install! If the installation does not work, get a CAB EXTRACTOR and extract the CAB file, then copy the content to your device.
If I am violating some copyrights, please drop me a line and I gladly will remove the attached file! It is the official ArcSoft Streaming Media Player without the HTC branding. Since this player is integrated in every official WM6.1 release (which is available for all TYTN II's) I don't think that posting the file is against copyrigths.
First, click on the link in my Signature to get you the easiest and best Searching results.
Sercond, What you are looking for in Opera 9.5 is Flash 3.1, So use the plug in search for "Flash 3.1 Phouki Opera".
That should anwser all your problems when you find that thread at Development ande Hacking forum..
Cheerz, Good Luck,
PS: Flash Works.
Dear All:
While it's a common practice after hardSPL is out (hoping to be a.s.a.p), I think it's a good if users get to vote on what features they are interested in device because we might be looking for a selective set of services based on our normal device usage. For example:
- Reset icon/Tab/shortcut, because Rhodium reset is behind the cover (kinda stupid)
- Fast media players (using currently Divx for Pocket PC) that can run a movie without any glitch or delay.
- G-sensor based apps/games.
- FM Radio built in.
- better colors for TouchFlo 3/D
- Better taskbar icons
Let's vote for what you guys want.
Nothing but my language...
in fact i think it is better to flash a bare, stable and fast rom without anything but the wanted language! I prefer german roms.
Then i can customize it with .cabs by my own and can leave all these unuseful things like fm-radio, manila, skins, IE and so on...
Greets
Alfons
need memory
need more free rom and ram....
maybe with lzx compression we can have more free memory
From what ive seen of stock and the new TF3D interface im very pleased already.
Looking for no bloatware, basically standard but with better battery life, performance in general and some tasty bundled apps.
Simples
This is the first WM device I ve had, that doesn't really need a cooked rom. Everything works perfectly.
Although like to see some stuff added on the next version, like:
Reset Shortcut
FM Radio With RDS and technical info about reception, frequency etc.
Gray/Black Highlights etc, I really don't get why HTC insists to use green.
Same BG on all manila tabs without slowdowns.
Some opera version that you can understand what link you just clicked (or don't clicked).
Black/Dark Phone Canvas
Greek available by default on eZinput
Most of this issues are already solve, but its always nice to see a flawless ROM
BT stack
bring the good old MS BT stack - volume setting on the device for BT stereo headset during MP3 playback was working with Raphael. now this is not working at all with Rhodium
Here are some things in my dreams
-Windows Mobile 6.5 (I already have had 6.5 on my Excalibur for a month)
-Opera mobile 9.7
-Manila 2.5 (the newest Touch Flo 3D interface) + Footprints
-Pre-installed app for the built in radio that just works
-More, better Facebook integration into contacts (If anyone is good enough to do that, but I think that Manila 2.5 also addresses this issue somewhat)
-Some legit new wallpapers to chose from
-Some sort of program that can find a new directory for each key on the keypad/front keys. (Example you could program a key to open the camera, another for the radio app)
-TCPMP (is a beast of a media player, like vlc but for WinMo)
These are all of the things that I could think of that would make the TP2 almost perfect. I will update this post if I think of anything else.
Remote Tracker software.
If someone can get Blackberry esq capability working with full functionality and same speed as my BB Bold then I will jump back to HTC device at a flash
I left due to frustrations with Touch HD (admittedly I hadn't changed from the stock ROM) but I missed the keyboard - bad choice on my behalf the touch HD
mainly I want a 6.5 ROM that is very low on memory consumption. I can handle the rest
I have a Vodafone UK version so here are some of the things i'd like change...
A Youtube Application (vodafone take it out) that doesnt break the filters for the normal player that comes with it (gallery doesnt work)
A Comms manager in the notification area like it used to be...
Manilla 2.5
Vodafoen modified Manilla to have Black text so cant see any on the writing on the main homescreen with my choosen background unless its basically white... So the return of white text would be great...
Battery always staying visible in the status bar...
Windows 6.1/6.5 doesnt matter too much as i do most things from the Manilla interface
Well the things I'd opt for are:
* Preinstalled FM-radio
* TCPMP
* Opera 9.7
* Soft reset
* BT headset-finder
* Country-specific keyboard management
* G-sensor sensitivity in "all" apps
* Footprints
* Music ID
Then of course; better battery-time and Manila 2.5 would be great...
My 2c worth/McHan
well i opt for a bare based default 6.5 windows. and the rest of the application will be thru a cab file. thanks
The things I would like to have in a ROM are as following:
- G-Alarm 1.5.1 (latest free version)
- Microsoft Facebook Application
- TotalCommander
- Microsoft MyPhone
- MP3 Trimmer
- any software where you can rotate, crop and compress pictures
Everything else I rather install on the storage card.
* Titanium
* .Net 3.5
* BB Connect That works
I'd like to see a lite/naked version with no M3D, maybe HTC Home instead, or just the standard WM "desktop".
For apps:
- batterystatus ext.
- TCPMP w/.flv plugin
- Google Maps
- Opera (latest)
- TotalCommander
- PIMBackup
- some sort of WM5torage-like app to turn the phone into a USB card-reader/memorystick.

Actualy no need for WM5Storage. TouchPro 2 has this feature built in. When you plug in your USB, it asks you whether you want to use it as ActiveSync, Internet connection, or Removable Disk. For me I always keep the check box UNCHECKED so that I can choose everytime I connect a USB among these 3 options.
If you choose option 3, simply you will get your SD card as a removable drive on any other computer without having ActiveSync/Mobile device center isntalled

+1: a good working bt stack that can handle more than 1 device at a time corectly and have implemented all powersaving features of the bt definition, so that the batterys of headsets and bt watches are not quickly (approx. 10-15 hour's in standby with only little use) drained. also good a2dp and sound quality, and not disconecting devices for no reason (sometimes in the middle of a call) all the above i face daily on my athena and i will not buy a new htc product until this is working.
mad
-WinMobile 6.5, stock, no fancy customizations to keep it trim and stable
-Contacts app that lets me see my contact history with that contact, and also click on relatives of the contact to see their profiles. Say I have a friend, and I have his wife Brooke listed. I click her name, and her profile pops up. Something clean and smooth.
-Threaded conversation view with text messages and e-mails.
-Full MS Office Mobile so I can edit, create, and view word/excel/powerpoint on the phone.
-PDF and FLV viewers that don't crash the phone.
-Playback of mp4, mpg, mpeg, divx, xvid video without me having to load new codecs on the phone myself.
-Included Apps: E-Book reader (*.lit format), RSS Reader, PDF Reader, FLV/Youtube player, 2-time-zone clock, stocks, bing maps, weather with 5-day forecast below current conditions, calendar, windows media player, app store, MS Office Mobile, IE Mobile, solitaire, freecell, minesweeper, that bubble game, camera app that captures pictures and video, picture viewer (GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, PNG).
-Media Library app that looks like JackLuminous' app from The Green Button - something that lets me view my music by artist, album, year, genre, all songs, and playlists, and separate music, TV, movie, and podcast sections.
*The home screen would be: Music, TV, Movies, Podcasts, Audio Books.
*Click Music. You see; Artist, Album, Genre, Songs, Year, Playlists
*Click Artists, and you see the albums by that artist, by album cover, that you can swipe left or right. Below you see the year, genre, and record label - click those to see all songs release that year, by that genre, or by that record label. Click the album cover to see the track list. at the bottom is a back and a play button.
That's my biggest request - a media library app for the phone. I really think this is an area that WinMobile falls down on, and if someone wants to develop this further, I'd be glad to help them out.
i´m searching for a clean rom. without any programs (office, manila, ...)
all this soft you can find here as cab-files and you can install it.
the cleanest is often the fastest rom!
Hello.
Sorry if this has been answered, I didn't find it, apparently.
I keep hearing that the Audio Booster 2.5 WVGA application available on HTC units can be run on Xperia X1i. My attempts to install it (CAB installs OK) result in an installation that won't run but will complain that it's missing components (when run from explorer, when from menu, no error pops up at all, but the same error sound dings).
I suppose that means I have to install some HTC libraries or drivers to get it to work if at all possible. Can someone please consult me in detail on this issue? DL URLs with brief instructions are welcome, if possible.
Thank you very much for your time, gentlemen (and ladies).
Your ROM is the original version?!? My ROM came with this app and works fine. There are other apps like this, did u try others?!
If u just want play your music louder, u can try a - real - player like GSPlayer, CorePlayer, coz they have a really good eq system.
Yes, my ROM is the original version. I stress, I own a SE XPERIA X1 unit, so its original ROM couldn't have come with an application that is from a competitor and requires competitor's libraries/drivers to run. So either you've misread the topic and don't own an Xperia, or your ROM is not original.
I am looking for a decent system mixer/equalizer compatible with WinMo 6.1 Pro WVGA 800*480. I want savable presets and all that jazz. Parametrics aren't necessary, even unwanted. Just a decent equalizer that could preferably integrate with MS WMP.
I don't want to just run louder or more quiet. I want an equalizer. Extra features are appreciated if it does its primary job well. To the best of my knowledge the Audio Booster 2.5 was just that: an intuitive quality equalizer that was designed for 800*480 displays. Being that many applications from HTC Touch Pro 2 have been ported to Xperia, I'm assuming this one may have been as well.
Thank you for you input.
I'm the owner of a Windows Phone 8 for a couple of months now, the Samsung Ativ S (GT-I8750). I have the latest GDR3 update (8.0.10517.150) but there are still quite a few problems I'd like to get fixed. And I'd appreciate it if anyone could direct me to hacks (if available) that would fix some of these. I'd also like to know if there is anything to benefit from "rooting" (interop unlock?) the device, and if it's possible to install standalone apps from the microSD card.
1. The volume level on the phone is a very low in general, and I most often have to manually boost the audio on some tracks (especially audiobooks) before putting them on my phone. Any way to get the volume higher?
2. The search button automatically opens Bing, any way to change that?
3. The video/audio format support is horrible, and I can't seem to play most files. Possible to install support? Codecs?
4. Installing apps/games on the microSD card, possible?

There are benefits for the interop-unlock of the Ativ S : Full File Access (see all the files of your phone through your PC, not just the public folders Music, Photos and Video, you'll be able to backup your apps and data : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462730), tweaks like custom accent colors (text of the color pink remains however but the color itself is changed), both these functions can be activated in the SamWP8 tool. Infinite number of sideloaded apps and a basic File Manager : Windows Folder Browser by ngame or WP8 File Explorer Project by hjc4869 or PDF to Office V3.1.3 for interop-unlocked Samsung devices by contable.
1. Yes, in the first versions of WPH Tweaker, you could set your volume control to 0-10, 0-30 or 0-50, the text in volume control pop-up (current volume/30) still remains the same but the steps do change, I think.
2. Not if you don't have your region set to any other country than Russia, in WPH Tweaker there is an option to add google search to IE, but in regions where Bing is incorporated this doesn't work (the only region that doesn't have Bing incorporated is Russia).
3. There are some players out there on Windows Phone Store which can play most video and audio formats, but they are all paid apps (if you wanted to have free codecs or free video players, you should have bought an android phone, because Microsoft is making it very difficult for open source view players (like VLC or XBMC, both available for android free of charge) to enter the market place of Windows 8/Windows Phone : for VLC they had to rewrite the entire app and it still isn't released yet). Some examples are : Moliplayer Pro (trail available, China has a free non-trail version Moliplayer but you can't install this without having a weibo account), Best Player and YxPlayer WP8.
4. No, you can place xaps on the root of your microSD card and let it install through the store on the phone itself, but you can't install any applications on the microSD Card partition (strangely you can place the maps of the default maps application on your SD card with WPH Tweaker).
