Running WM5 now on a Himalya. Previously used omegaone battery pack 2004 on WM2003 which was ideal but seems cause the PDA to hang with WM5. Any other good programs that are recommended?

As an alternative to spb phone suite, check out PhoneAlarm http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html . There is a lite version that may have take up less memory with the same functionality, plus there are some neat skins to customize it.

Try there...
My must haves:
PIM setup:
---------
SPB Pocket Plus w/ SPB Pocket Diary on the Today screen. I like the big launch icons right up front, just like the good old Palm (or iPhone, natch), but having all my PIM stuff just a tab away, with pop up windows to boot.

AgendaOne (my fave of the 3rd party PIM replacements) http://www.developerone.com
Resco Viewer (best pic viewer IMHO and worth the money)
http://www.resco.net
Freeware:
Slide2Unlock (was a long time MortSaver fan, but like the info available on S2U better)
TCPMP (haven't tried commercial CorePlayer, because there's no demo)
http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
Most of the other additions are included in Faria's ROMs, so it's always a good idea to see what he's packed in there.
PS: just swapped from NBD 7.4 to Faria's Real Thing. TouchFLO worked fine, but I don't think it's an interface for me.

hey guys (and girls where aplicable),
i got a question (a sorta dumb one). If a smartphone lik the iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger or the HTC Vox have windows mobile 6 standard does that mean they run regular windows mobile programs or smartphone versions? See the Cheeta/treo 750 has windows mobile standard ed. and is called a smartphone but it uses regular PPC programs, the other two mentioned before have the same wm6 but no touch screen. so i was wondering if that made a diference in the phones capabilities to use PPC Progs? I appreciate any answers as i am greatly puzzled and intregued buy this.
With WM6 they dispensed with the term "smartphone" in favour of WM 6 Standard. Too many non Windows Mobile phones were being called "smart phones" as well as PPC phones.
WM Standard has no support for touch screens and many PPC apps will not run on it.
WM Pro has touchscreens.
understanding versions...
so lemmie go over this... a ppc with a touch screen is said to run WM6 pro, a ppc without a touch screen is said to run wm6 standard the "smartphone" version. so what of the vox? it has all the capabilities of a full sized PPC without the touch screen so where would it and the ipaq 514 fit in? Because correct me if i'm wrong but dont they offer features like MS Office editing and production verus the others whose ability is limited to viewing or is it the WM6 platform that actually enables this?
You're right, its just a functionality of WM6. Any smartphone (i.e. non-Touch screen device) running WM6 has those same office capabilities and will be running WM6 Standard, not Professional.
As far as I know the two WM6 are one same core of the same OS but..
In the PPC version there is more advanced setup in the menus wich setup is locked in the Srtandard by default.
For example in the Standard there is no way to change the IP of the wi-fi manually.
And in the pocket pc there is some dll's, responsible for touchscreen operation .
yes but....
i do believe you might be correct on everything but the I.P setup for standard. i have an sda running wm6 and i can manually setup my wifi and change certain settings in the network config. Also the HP ipaq 514 that i've been researching also has the same features. see my big thing is i love he compact size of the smart phone but need the capabilities of the PPC. It wold be great if i could get the best of both. i know the O2 XDA stealth has that exact combo but they are hard to find and kinda pricey for thier age.
There are separate SDKs for Standard and Pro, so I think the differences run a little deeper.
well what to do?
well i guess my final questions then wuld be what kind of phone are:-
1/ O2's xda stealth
2/ HP's Ipaq 514
OK All there are quite a few PIM managers with really cool today plugins ie., SPB, Pocket Informant, SBSH, and so on. Give me some opinions on what you all think are the best ones. I have been trying SPB but for instance Mobile shell is very heavy and a memory hog. Help me find a good one.
Thanks
Windows Mobile 6.1 Cotulla works very well on my ol' Qtek S100!
There are some sw that I miss from WM2003:
- Battery Monitor indicator in the background
- xBackup alternative for a full backup
What do you suggest?
Full backup - Resco Backup is good, but it's not free,
Thanks for the reply.
For the Battery, BatteryStatus v0.05.125 seems good.
Report that Sprite Backup works absolutely fine for me, again, not free.
Hi,
I'm using SPB Backup 2 (sorry not free)
and
Batti for battery monitoring (free)

Cotulla's ROM
Hi all,
Cotulla's WM6.1 ROM is the best for S100.
But I'm replacing Qtek s100 and going to buy qtek 9000 Pro/HTC Universal.
By the way, I've been visiting Cotulla's website lately, but I can't get any ROM's for Universal.Why??
I don't backup (I hav my cabs and everything back up though and contacts are too.)
for battery monitoring I have SPB pocket plus (not free) and it has the battery status bar where my battery level is displayed on the top start bar.

Universal ROM
Hi all,
Sorry for the off-topic,
I'd like to ask Mr. Cotulla about the Universal ROM.
Why isn't it avaliable for download at your site?
After all, I've killed my Qtek S100's GSM radio(it's nothing more than a small PDA now)and bought a HTC Universal instead.
Thanks for the help
