I am a phone junkie and have owned just about every type of phone there is and out of all of them WM Smartphones seem to have BY FAR the least amount of free apps available.
Am I just looking in the wrong places or are there really hardly any free apps for smartphones?
www.google.com would be a nice place to start.

Somebody thinks they are funny eh?
So the fact that you don't list even one good site for apps tells me you don't know of any good sites either. I guess I was right and there simply aren't that many.
free apps

Yes, I am familiar with Google.
What sites are good?
Most sites have a few Really crappy free apps mixed in with all the pay apps. Or worse yet have a few free WM Smartphone apps mixed in with all the free PPC apps.
try coolsmartphone.com

Great, I'll try that thanks.
i know this has been said before, but search google.
stop being lazy and start using the search engine you will probably find a lot more by inputting the right "search string"
you will probably get more of an answer from that rather from this forum because most of these users are just laughing at you.

Are you for real?
You bump a many months old thread just to say: search Google?
Do you seriously think that was not the FIRST thing I did?
Also all the other months old responses were saying: search Google, so how did you think you adding: search Google was going to be helpful?
Anyways it doesn't matter I have upgraded to a new phone 3 times since this thread.
But I still stand by what I said: Comparitively there really aren't that many free apps for WM Standard,

I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to copy the Ringtones/Soundfiles from any WM6 rom please.
I bought a Hermes off ebay but found out it was blocked and stolen, so its now with the police and i liked the ringtones more than the ones on my 2003SE phone.
Thanks.
If you'll search through the forums for "WM6 Sounds", you'll find where someone has already posted a zip file with the WM6 sounds and ringtones.

I think the biggest problem with the n00bs trying to find things in the Forum 'Search' is ridiculously hard. IMHO, we need to figure out how to replace the Search (in the menu bar) to the Search XDA using Google...
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
That would allow the n00bs to fish for themselves.

Maybe that's because 95% of noobs on forums are simply on to get free and "cool" stuff for their phones and don't put in a lick of effort to get it. A person who asks for ringtones and says "i did search" when someone else found it is obviously lying or they would have found it don't ya think???
does anyone here know if there are forums around for iPhones? i just got rid of my Hermes and got an iPhone. looking around for some apps and games and such
iPhone
Are you kidding about this? Google is your friend for iPhone not XDA..

Then you need iTunes my friend... And good luck!
didn't know Iphone had forums that coded FREE programs for personal use(they don't)....without having to 'Jailbreak' it.
Jobs, won't even let Iphone transfer songs via bluetooth to other phones....That's Bullsh*t
there is no Iphone counter-part to XDA!!!
did you try Apple.com forums which I am not linkin here...here is 1 of many I ran across just by typing Iphone forum in google
good luck with finding stuff for your crippled iphone.. no more FREE stuff for you!
what you don't understand yet is people are giving you a hint that they don't like iphone, which means this is the wrong place to ask this questions about iphone.
Yes My Friend. Apple has not relized there SDK yet. They said it should be out soon. But I doubt it. IIRC they are going to charge for it too, So I'm betting anyone who takes the time to Buy the SDK and Develope Software, is going to charge for it.
Oh and given the MEDIA horse poop that surrounds the iPhone I bet everyone is going to try and cash in. I see very little if any "Free" programs for the iPhone. Unless you count iPhone Capatable AJAX pages... Which I don't. Plus the iPhone Doesn't support 3G, good luck with your Slow Interwebs.
Hi everyone xx
I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of weeks now and slowly getting the hang of things however I have a few questions.
I have an XDA Zest and I'm just confused of all the abbreviations and jargon on here that I'm not sure what apps and mods I can use.
I've figured out I can only go for things that are VGA and compatible with WM, but other than that I just feel stupid
I am quite techie minded and do learn quickly and have managed to do little things on my phone but 3 questions off the top of my head.
Can someone recommend a free MP3/media player for my phone, WMP is pants and has no way to set the bass or anything. Putting the word music into the search here brings up loads! I tried one called flip or something like that that was Iphone-ish but that was on a trial and I wasn't that keen on it.
I love changing themes on my phone but on this handset it just seems like such a minefield. I saw a lovely HTC high gloss one (I think) and I was just baffled by it all. Is there a dummies guide somewhere?
Also, I am constantly hitting the send or menu button when writing a text, is there an easy way to move these buttons?
Many thanks xx
Media player, there's two spring to mind, S2P and TCPMP. Search and ye shall find.
Many thanks. I had a look at TCPMP earlier but the site I was on said it was discontinued and now being charged for, I think I might have found the correct one.
Afterthought/ Maybe not, it keeps saying I have to send the crash.txt to the developers. After a search on here it seems it was a common thing, I'll carry on looking.
EDIT: I've got it working, I found a different CAB file someone posted and that one works!
at least you used the search ur in minority there
lol
Unfortunately the Zest is not an HTC phone, so you will not find any support for it here. It is Windows Mobile so you can use generic WM apps. The interface I believe is Spb Mobile Shell, so you can search for tweaks for that.

Yes I did realise there wouldn't be much support but I have found so much information on here as it is and little bits and bats. I found a fab SIP on here last night which I love. I'm just not sure as to what I can and can't use, is it just basically check its VGA and WM compatible and some trial and error?

Hello,
i was wondering if someone could tell me where to find 3D stuff for the HD2, i mean:
Games (Java, or other)
Cool 3D Apps
More GPS Apps would be nice etc...
And more Apps witch Support the G-Sensor would be very nice too
Where can i find that for the HD2?
And since i think we have a lot of experts and clever people in this forum, and there are not many Apps like that, Why dont u people make some Apps like that?
Thanx.

...but check sites like freewarepocketpc.net, handango or if your feeling really clever go to google.com and type the words: 3D games windows mobile

I would love to see someone with the new T-Mobile Garminfone pull out the apk and see if we can use it in our Incredibles. I would just love to see how it would work on a real powerhouse of a phone ;-)

Thanks for sharing =)
So anything you rip off another phone is illegal, how come we do it with alot of stuff on here... then again what do i care /ripriprip
The problem with this is that it's the map data mostly. When I was on Windows Mobile, we had the same problem with Microsoft Voice Command. Even though it came with most WM phones, you weren't aloud to share the .cab (equivalent to .apk) file for it. In fact, cooking roms with it was kinda frowned upon. The problem was the licensing, because Microsoft actually charged for the app, for the few phones that came without it (the manufacturer had the option to use it, I'm guessing they decided to just pay for it to have it come loaded). Even when TomTom came out with a "trial" for one specific WM phone, the cracked program wasn't allowed on XDA, even though cracking it just made it possible to use it on other phones...... You still had to buy the maps from TomTom for the phone..... It's all just a CYOA policy, and it's what makes sure XDA won't be shut down!
So I guess the question is: if I am able to find the.apk, would it work on my inc. Has there been any success stories?
It would certainly be interesting to find out. I remember someone in the past had made a GPS Phone based off Windows Mobile. I can't remember who offhand, but I'd think it would be more profitable for them to release the software for a reasonable price than to offer it only on their phone, which who knows how much they're really making off it. I mean it comes down to profit, but I'd think that considering my DInc came with built in Nav for free, and is a much better phone, why pay a premium for a phone with GPS, when you can get a better *phone* and add GPS software for a minimal cost (or use the FREE one included!). Just my thoughts though.....
