Useful Applications, Games, Task Managers, Calendars Needed - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

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!

Any reccomendations for a new user?

As title really , i've had a WM2003 based PDA before and a couple of S60 mobiles in the past.
But this is my first PDA/Phone device.
I have the O2 version of the TYTN2 (XDA Stellar)
Can anyone reccomend me any essentials I should be looking at getting.
Looking for a decent web browser and any other Utilizes that are recommended
Also is there an easy way to switch between running apps without going back to the today screen first?
recommendation is to search + read the gweni
Hmm while its an interesting read most of it seems to be concerned around changing things in the Firmware/Rom.
There's a couple of useful things like a stopwatch/countdown timer listed but I didn't see anything that resembled a list of Recommended apps (ideally freeware)
I feel your pain. It's tough to find a list of recommended apps. I may actually put a list together this weekend. I got my Tilt about 2 weeks ago and I have my list of apps. Actually, I'll start:
Audio Player: HTC Audio Manager or Windows Media Player
Backup: Sprite Backup and PIM Backup
Calculator: I like the skin that comes with dutty's ROM
Camera: HTC Camera
Compression: PocketRAR or HTC ZIP
Config Tools: KaiserTweak and Schap's Advanced Config
Cube: Slither's Cube (I don't like the Cube much, but this one is pretty damn nice)
Dialer: DualTouch dialer
File Manager: Resco or Total Commander
IM: Palringo or IM+
Maps/GPS: Google Maps and/or Windows Live Search
Picture Album: HTC Album
Registry Editor: Regeditor
Screen Capture: pocket Screen
Start Menu Replacement: QuickMenu
Other:
HTC Action Screen
HTC Home
HTC Home Customizer (I like v1.0 and don't like v.1.05b)
HTC QuickGPS
HTC Comm Manager, 6 button, Schap's style
HTC SIM Manager
HTC Voice Recorder
HTC Field Status
Sipchange
Can't find a good one:
Battery monitor
Task manager
Media player (TCPMP is a popular one, but there are a lot of them)
Office - I keep using Pocket Outlook for Contacts, Email, Appointments, and all that other jazz. There are other apps out there like FingerFriendlyFriends but strangely I'm happy with Pocket Office.
Does this help?

Start with Kaiser tweaks. That will rid your phone of most annoyances. Read all info on Touch Flo, Touch Flo Cube, Htc Home Customizer. Read the Wiki here and on htcwiki.com. Everyone here needs different things from their phones. And different ways to access those things. Read read read, follow links. One search will take you to another search to another.
I got my Tilt in early Nov came accross this site shortly thereafter, read and listened and searched and did not have a need to ask a question until April, my first post. Lots of info here for the grasping. No offense to anyone here, but a list of all " apps " isn't necessarily a list of what you want or especially what you " need".
I'll add one more to this:
Voice Commands: Microsoft Voice Commander or Cyberon Voice Commander
Wow isn't this post repeated every week or so?

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!

What girl's want (Make a rom request here)

Ok, I see a lot of customisation done here, so I think it's time to make a rom based on user requests. Of course, please don't ask for headset, BT, SD, wifi, this will of course be added when found.
Just post what kind of rom you would like, and we will try to find a list of good programs to include.
Criteria are: small programs, specially usefull, and (possibly) free to use in a rom.
Adding as much as possible in a rom is counter productive, as it grabs more storage space than installing the cab afterward.
My guess is that programs should be in the following categories:
GPS aid tools
Phone aid tools
Today plugin tools
Memory and system managment tools
Core functionality
Default settings
The following post will compile what has been selected. Rom will be created when enough input is aquired. Requests can be done for removal also (like games for example)
now fire your requests
----Reserved--------
To me it is sufficient that there was an application that gives me the opportunity to do everything with your fingers. Without using the scrollbar. As in Mr gullum ROM. Thanks for this opportunity to express your wishes.

ClearTemp v1.2 (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/cleartemp.shtml)
would like....
i would like one that has only the phone, text messages, touchflo (if possible) and GPS, for everything else we have the Vista side like office, messenger and any other app we could possibly want.
botton line the less you put in it the faster it will be and still leave room to install any other app an specific user may want.
just my 2 cents.
BTW great work we are all very thankfull for all your hard work and that goes to cmonex and the rest of your team.
thanks
Call firewall and what you have listed chat of some type (I use yahoo)
i would love to have a ROM based on MANILA or POINT UI or throttle launcher.
i know that there is not much space. but it can be done ( for some resone it works slow..)
please, im willing to donate ( again!!) to the one that will creat that kind of ROM. ( no need for SnupVue...or Office..
10x!
Your current rom is almost perfect. Everybody can install the programs they want. Only I would like have speaker phone forced on like iOO did in his rom and those three themes can be replaced with just one black snapvue theme. And also it should be possible to soft reset from wm side so you dont have to start vista to do that.
Less is more
Actually I would like to see more stripped out all non-essential files/ anything to make more room for programs and data!
I see you put the HTC tools in there, but with the exception of USBTool,RealVGA and cab install support - I wonder how many times I will fire up GPS Debugging...
There maybe some housecleaning opportunities in the Windows Directory (temp files and other such....)
A good screen rotation utility would be nice - I use Mobipocket for WM for reading ebooks and it also has the nice side effect of rotating the WinMo display (if you rotate the display within MobiPocket it keeps the WinMo display rotated after you exit the reader) *** side note to ask MobiPocket to enable rotation in the desktop version of their tool (funny that they didn't think to put it in there - if enough people harangue them from this forum maybe?) - which I also have running on the Vista side and it sets my teeth on edge to know that i can't rotate the display...grrr.... ****
So I am ok on the screen rotation - but maybe others dont want to install Mobipocket........
Anything that would help battery life -- power miser settings set as default in most things that you might otherwise have to configure --
Lean and mean........
thanks for the current state - which rocks!
Shame on HTC for crippling such a neat device.
regards
Sudipta
I'm registering all requests and also lean on to a clean rom.
lean for me too
first, thanks to all the ROM cooks. i have tried almost all of them and am now using thaihugo's latest. i haven't had this much fun configuring and reconfiguring a machine since installing Slackware 1.1 in 1994.
what a sad loser, i am. well, insomniac anyway.
i'd like a really lean ROM because i like to install my own selection of stuff: pocketxpdf, tcpmp. quickmenu, putty. i don't even need Activesync or the built in e-mail client and calendar. for me, it would be great if anything that i could easily install myself was left out.
Is it possible to include 800X480 resolution driver to fully utilize the screen. Thank you very much!
I've followed your requests here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495143
wow, fast.. Maybe a easy way, to customize your ROM with standard European language packs.
(french, italia, german, spain,..
I Would prefer a ROM BASE on WinMo 6.1 as UDK's rom was cause it worked fine with haret.
I Woud like a complete Rom With:
- GPS Fix
- QuickGPS
- Phonestuff enabled
- Google Maps (if you have it working with GPS)
- Opera
- TouchFlo (if possible =)
Apps: (prefered as cabs to install them when needed)
- IM Slick
- Mobile Office
- Total Commander
- Finger Keyboard (If it will will work)
- GoogleMaps
- Adobe Reader
I liked your roms but they wont work with haret.
So hopefully will work in future !

dont know if others want but i like realvga 96dpi on the shift's screen
thanks agian
SnapVue Cab
What I really want (and have no clue how to do) is the SnapVue as a today plugin cab.
Love your Light ROM (it is my current one). However, I love SnapVue as a concept also. Some things to think about/fix (?):
-The clock allows you to open it to the alarms and Time Zones (I am using a plug in similar to the SnapVue Clock/Calender)
-The "Settings" button is remapped to programs OR opens a shortcut tab for key programs (customisable)
-The Plugin does not "steal" all the real estate. Currently it covers the scroll bar so you can not add other plugin above or below it. This is very irritating (particularly for me who has several plugins).
Currently, I can only get SnapVue (with other ROMS) to work with other plug-ins if I use RealVGA. However, using RealVGA then stops my spb Travel Assistant working (don't understand why).
Food for thought
Cheers
even lighter if possible!
I am using Age of Reason, and it is fantastic - I now even have space to store a bit of my own audio and video. I have also just installed the new YouTube WM application from m.youtube.com which works but has very jerky motion.
I am using TCPMP, so have no use for WMP. I also do not use ActiveSync, so if that was optional, it would save me some space (as well as having to kill it from time to time).
I still think that any item that is available in a simple CAB install might as well be left out, unless it takes up less space by burning it into the ROM.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Actually, removing this component will make you lose memory, so it's better to keep them. Don't ask me why, but it is this way. WMP and activesync are system components...
Need i say more? Thanks for this great ROM! Age of reason is on my shift and it works great!

Updating my Xperia, need suggestions for ROM, software etc. :D

So, I've decided to reflash my Xperia after I played with some of the settings and managed to make the whole thing really slow, choppy and buggy. There's nothing wrong with the device, I've just messed things up a bit. Nothing to worry, I'm not a newbie with stuff like this, just a bit over-enthusiastic and overconfident at times.
So, to the point, I'm looking for better alternatives to the ROM and software I already have. I'll give you a quick run-down of the stuff I have, the stuff I love and the stuff I never use with my Xperia.
The stuff I have:
-SEX1 R3.61 Barebone ROM (and all the apps et al that came with it) with SEX1cons F v3
-SPB Mobile Shell 3.x (the newest one ATM with the Weather widget)
-G-Alarm
-Opera Mobile (newest Beta)
-Opera Mini
-Pocket Player
-Google Maps
-VistaHide Battery Gauge
-Some YouTube stuff I would use if they worked properly (which they don't, partially thanks to me)
The stuff I love:
-The SPB Mobile Shell above all else. If someone would make a ROM based on the Shell alone, I would flash my Xperia with it immediately. It's got the most conventional interface in any operating system I've ever come across. I just love it.
-G-Alarm. Never has waking up been so easy. (OK, it's still not easy, but at least I do get up nowadays. )
-The conversation-style SMS
-The both Opera browsers (when they work, which is less often than I'd like)
-The tweaked camera of the SEX1 ROM
-Google Maps. I've lost count how many times I would have lost without it.
-The "notes" function.
-Messenger
-The music and video playing capabilities of the device (regardless of programs. I use Pocket Player out of habit and WMP for video playback because the PP can't handle videos all that well)
-VistaHide Battery Gauge & the fancy SEX1cons
The stuff I never use and would like to get rid off or at least hide/disable somehow:
-All the GPS garbage. QuickGPS etc. I have no GPS devices and I'm not about to buy any. Google Maps is more than enough for me.
-E-Mail. I use E-Mail so seldom anyway, I haven't even bothered to set up an account on my Xperia.
-Panels. They were fun in the beginning, but nowadays I prefer apps to panels. I don't even remember when was the last time I pressed the "X Panel"-button on purpose. Not useless, but unnecessary to me as I never use them anyway.
So, the thing I'm asking is what would be the best choices for a new ROM and whether there's some software I should consider adding or replacing some of my old apps with? For me, a ROM is just something to install SPB Mobile Shell over, so there's no need for a fancy interface or loads of apps or anything. Just the bare essentials; a fast and stable ROM plus some of the basic apps (calculator et al I seldom use, but couldn't live without). I'm not a conservatist, so I'm not afraid to abandon any of the stuff I have for something better if there is.
Also, as I obviously have to backup my PIM data, do most of the backup apps out there function correctly with the conversation-style SMS messaging?
Give me a hand here, guys, I know your collective brainpower and knowledge far exceeds mine, that's why I asked you in the first place. Thanks in advance of any tips, suggestions etc. you could give me.

Hey, if I wouldn't need the help I wouldn't have asked. It's a sign of respect, you know? That I trust in your knowledge? You don't need to answer to anything. Even small opinions and pieces of information are more than welcome.
I recently flashed my X1i, tbh it was piss easy, just install hardspl and copy the image to ur SD card!
I would suggest trying EnergyRom, or if u need Jack's 4.x full if u need asian language support
SPB Mobile shell 2.0 is was my favourite, but that was easily replaced by Touchflo3d!
The rest of the apps u listed u can easily install afterwards.
btw there's an entire forum section dedicated to X1 ROM's, so u're prob posting in the wrong place
As I told, I'm not a newbie with this stuff. It's pretty dang easy, it's just that as you guys've been here longer than I, you naturally know more about the different ROMs and software than I do. I'm not asking you how to flash or anything, I'm asking you which ROM would best suite my needs and whether or not I should replace some of the apps I've been using so far with something better.
I took a quick look at the EnergyRom and if the author knows his stuff (which it seems), it seems like a cool pile-o'-bytes. I'll take it into consideration.
The rest of the apps u listed u can easily install afterwards.

Yup, I know. If you read my post through, I just asked you people for possible better alternatives for the apps I've been using so far. I know how to install stuff and anything.

I was thinking that, too, but then decided to post here as I'm not specifically talking about ROMs alone, but the whole device's software in general.
I agree with Mjollnir1983, jackleung's "Jack V4.x Lite" would most likely be a good choice for you. I also agree that Touch Flo 3D is better the SPB Mobile Shell, but that's your personal choice. If you wanted to try TF3D, "Jack V4.x Medium" would be a good combination of a clean rom and TF3D. I personally like agent_47's "Valkyrie v3.x FireStorm", because it is has TF3D and is a fast rom with some useful apps. However it may have to many apps for you. If you decide you like agent_47's roms, then "Xperio" might work out alright. It doesn't have TF3D, but still has some good HTC stuff that makes it look better and is a more clean rom than firestorm. Links are bellow. Also I thought I would mention that QuickGPS is something you might want to keep, because it helps Google Maps get a satellite lock quicker. It doesn't always work great, but their are some fixes if your having problems with it.
Jack V4.x Lite / Medium
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543073
Valkyrie v3.x FireStorm / Xperio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050
I tried the TouchFLO 3D on my friend's cell and it seemed okay after a short while of getting used to. Not that different from SPB Mobile Shell and no disadvantages whatsoever compared to it. I'll give it a shot. Thanks a million, guys.
Now, the biggest question is whether or not there's a PIM backup app available that works correctly with the conversation-style SMS. (At the moment every time I restore a backup, it only restores the messages I've sent, not received. It's the messaging app itself that is responsible, cos I've tried several backup apps.) Is there, or is it just the messaging app I've tried to tweak that is responsible?
About the other apps... Well, I'll do some research myself. I'll probably stick with at least some of them for a while.
Um... I don't know man, there are thousands of apps. I think ROMs are down to personal preference and you should just try many of them to find the best one for you. From the top of my head:
Pocket Music - best music player IMHO.
SkyFire - nice broswer for flash heavy sites.
HTC mp3 trimmer WVGA - perfect for making your own ringtones.
SKTools, advanced config and xperia tweak - best tune up software there is.
SPB Online - online games, radio and TV.
MyMobiler - lets you control the X1 from your PC.
Innobec Side Window - use the X1 as a secondary screen for your PC.
Resco Explorer and Photo Viewer.
SPB Weather
SPB Insight - RSS feeds.
HTorch - pocket flashlight.
WinMobileTorrent
Core Player - best player for every video file except mp4 (use WMP for that).
MS Reader - E-Book reader.
Skype mobile
MorphGear - perfecr emulator for every old game possible.
WK Task - best task manager/launcher/x button.
Homescreen ++ - lets you check your temp, cpu speed, ram usage and more, directly on your homescreen. You can havega taskbar launcher as well. This app is a must.
There are many more, but you have to be more specific about what you want.

The stuff I never use and would like to get rid off or at least hide/disable somehow:
-All the GPS garbage. QuickGPS etc. I have no GPS devices and I'm not about to buy any. Google Maps is more than enough for me.

You have the internal GPS of the Xperia!!!
Google maps use A-GPS need data connection to work. The normal GPS is free (exception of software and maps).
@orelsi: Thanks, I'll take a look at those shortly.
kremlincrackers: The more you know...
Thanks a lot, I wasn't aware of that at all. That means I should keep the QuickGPS, then.
EDIT: I started flashing the Jack V4.x Medium ROM. Let's see what this thing's capable of...
What you're looking for is a similar version of what I have,
You could have any light/fast ROM, I prefer to use a tweaked ROM with cache and memory enhancements. At present I am using WM 6.5 but it's even more stable with 6.1
Then SPB Shell 3, as for applications adn in addition:
- Removed X Panels and remapped panel key to Resco Explorer.
- TOMTOM this is essential, if you wish not to spend money on it there are some free alternatives, although not as good.
- Resco Explorer and Registry editor
- SBP Television, Insight, Snapshot and Imageer.
- My Mobiler
- Finger Keyboard
- World Card Mobile
- Rhodium Dialer

Okay, fellas, thanks for the help!
I tried the ROMs mentioned above, but finally settled for the awesome Touch X ULTIMATE X-TREME 10.1 Original Green which was suggested to me by a friend of mine. I can't praise it enough. I've used 8-12 ROMs (including big names like Valkyrie, Touch-IT and SEX1 R3) in the past and it's ultimately the fastest and most stable of them. As long as it keeps running as well as it is ATM, I seriously doubt I'll ever change the ROM again. The only tweaks I had to make were adding a Programs-tab to the TF3D and removing all the Panel Manager stuff while rebinding the panel key to Pocket Player.
Give it a shot, guys. You might fall in love just like I did.
