While there are excellent programs created here by developers, there are always some that you may want to purchase. So I'm asking here, what apps have you purchased that you use quite often and found the cost well worth it for the product. I'm willing to bet there are other threads, as I have read many here, that already suggest certain apps, but most are to cluttered. So, what are you using/have used and liked?
Every app listed in my signature is what I can't live without. None are free but well worth it to me!

Thanks for the suggestions, but I do have two questions for you. First, on the CorePlayer, are you able to covert video files from your PC to play on this, even if it's an additional software. For iNav, is this GPS reliable only on the PPC connections?

Thanks, I use Spb Mobile DVD for movie conversion and for iNav, I use it on my Tilt w/ the built in GPS and on my Laptop via bluetooth GPS.
I have a full license for most of the SPB SoftwareHouse products. I love the programs they integrate together well; Mobile Shell2 / Pocket+ / Phone Suite / wheather
I allso use "Finger Friendly Friends" I cant live with out it, its one hell of an intelligent contacts manager.
Another I cant live without is: Acquasys Pocket Investor by Acquasys
I would be at a loss if I couldn't track whats going on with my invesments.
Thanks for posts, any good weather apps that include a today plugin. I searched for Weather Panel, found the site, but it won't open. Any ideas on something close, if not, better?

Hi!
I'm looking for an application that will close my phone based on a daily schedule. For instance I want my phone to be off 01:00AM to 08:30AM. Is there any such application?
Have you tried PhoneWeaver ?
It has lots of usefull functions including profiles and schedules like the one you mentioned.
Of course it is commercial.
Thanks. This is what I'm looking for! ...do you think that I could "find" it somewhere around?
What do you mean by "find" ?
I mean not to buy

This is not the right forum for such a questions.
Ok, I know there are other sites with tones of illegal copies of software. But it's not like this site is completely legal. There is also lot's of "stuff" here also, especially in ftp site.
Anyway, let's not make it a deal.
By the way, another software that does the same thing and I believe in a much better way is "Profiles for Windows Mobile". This is my choice finally.

I thought the same way while starting to visit xda-developers.
There are several posts on this matter ... I don't want to copy/paste them here.

Hi Guys
I've got a questions to all you guys who cook the roms as I don't and I think of my self as a strict end user of the HTC devices.
It is possible for you to create a nice and simple rom that will be ready to go after flashing and will contain a few things that I will alow my self to point out below:
- weather plugin on today screen (in WM6.1 or 6.5)
- a web browser that will display flash and all the rich content on the websites including youtube, vimeo etc
- favorite contacts with photos
- a set of nice games
- divix player with all the plugins
- google maps
- facebook, twiter etc
- MS office
- pdf reader
I think all those above are essential for any rom to be useful
Rom like this wold be ideal for people like me who just want to use it not constantly looking for all the bits and bobs to make it working. Call it whatever you want but this is why HTC don't appeal to that many people which is sad really coz it is a damn good piece of equipment.
Well i hope someone will get interested and maybe some of you guys will create rom like this for everyday user. and don't forget to make the theme sleek and sexy so my girlfriend will be jealous that her iphone can't look like this
Thank you

WELL everyone have there own preferences and when cooking rom the cheif have to think of everyone as a whole... so some might not want weather, or some might not need divx player or browser with flash or some one might use igo instead of google map.... so in short if you want you can install other app to get all of the above..., and just search this forum and you should get all of the above app....
Cheers

You might think those things are essential, but others may disagree. The best solution to your request is to flash an ultra-vanilla ROM and install everything as .CABs. For example, Facebook and FIM are both available as .CABS, as well as Google Maps. TCPMP plays my divx files and handles other formats very well indeed. Office and PDF readers are uncluded with quite a few ROMs already. Twitter widget came as part of SPB MobileShell, I don't use Twitter, but I am sure it works fine and is most likely available as a .CAB for a separate install.
Try something with lots of program memory available that includes only basics, each proper ROM will come with the list of things included and screenshots, so you can decide whether you want one.
After awhile, like most of us, you will have a small collection (or large) of .CABs you find absolutely necessary, my suggestion is to store them all on your SD card, that way if you flash ROMs frequently everything you need will be available within a few clicks.
Or.... you can ask nicely, donate to our fine chefs and get someone to create a ROM for you....

AHA! So it's a competition...
Ah! you are totally right about all the cabs ect. honestly I was going to do this but here is a problem. to find what I need is almost imposible, half of the download links doesn't work some of the stuff is not on the forum. It would be nice to have a ftp server where all the cabs and roms could be stored. Also is hard to find a 'plain' rom on which I could install the rest. It is to much of all this themes plugins ect and without proper ftp catalouge/folder filing system is just taking too much time That's why I 've asked coz whoever is actually cooking roms already have all that cabs and plugins on his/their computers nicely sorted But if there is no other option i will start building my own colection.
btw could u post a link to the facebook cab. It is inc in tomals 8.10 ver i can't find it plz help
Here you go.

Or... you can learn to use one of the kitchens provided by our chefs and create your own ROM...
You are not looking hard enough - simple basic ROMs are available, they come with no plug-ins or themes, FTP is also available, while you can look for .CABs you need in corresponding threads or use Search function.
Yeah agree, people just want to ask and ask to everybody supply their needs, but they don´t really do a research or donate or help in anyway.
This is nothing personal to anyone, just what I´ve seen along this years on this great site!

Hi,
I'm new to HTC, and windows mobile. I'm having great difficulty in finding apps that I want, how do I go about finding them until the XDA marketplace is up and running?
I'm currently after an ebay app if there is one, and also a converter app. Also I've read somewhere that there's an app/cab file that allows any program to be in landscape or portrait, but I can't remember the name. Think it was gyrator or something but I can't find it, any idea?

I can't help you with the ebay app, but you want BsB Tweaks to allow rotation in applications, or try PLToggle (in my sig below).
For the ebay app, I'd recommend searching in the windows apps forum (in general), rather than a phone specific forum.
Hope this helps

Mate, before you do buy things .. search .. search .. search! this community has a lot to offer and there is bound to be a freeware that can do what you are looking for.
Of course when all fails default to buying the app. If you find what you are looking for consider donating to the hardworking developers here.

Hi Snerkler,
Searchng on XDA is not easy (I should know). Use this tool, which should give you a fighting chance...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all.
Also look here ..http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
And if you google "windows mobile apps" or "free windows mobile apps" you will be surprised what you can find!
Unfortunately we don't have an app store like that other device; however there are thousands of apps out there.
Just thought of another 2 sites:
Clove....http://www.clove.co.uk/
Handango....http://www.handango.com/homepage/Homepage.jsp?storeId=2218
If you are stuck after all this then do one thing.......send me your phone and pack it all in.
Good luck chap
WB
PS PM me if you need more info but don't want to look stupid on here. However you have been getting loads of help off people here which is good; no one's told you to get lost yet or to RTFW (read the wiki (lol)).
Must be your excellent Karma. Do enjoy exploring the world of Windows Mobile.

could you point me in the direction of where that is being developed

There's a nice app store app you can get from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-opnmarket.html that contains some of the xda initiatives (along with other developers creations). Otherwise just look through the forums for your device.
And of course there's Microsoft's own 'marketplace' app store for which there should be a 'Marketplace' app already installed on your phone (or you can go to
https://marketplace.windowsphone.com/default.aspx if you want to view it in a web browser (note that it doesn't work well if you're using Opera (despite that being on many flagship windows mobile handsets) - nice one Microsoft ).
Ian
Thanks Ian,
just installed Omarket, very impressed with it so far.
If anyone is interested in the following SPB apps for Windows mobile, I have some keys that I am no longer using since I just bought a Samsung Captivate.. I am NOT selling these.. I am giving the serials to you for free, but only to one person.
The following SPB Applications are still available. Please post a reply in this thread with the name of the software you want. Do NOT PM me.. These serials will be given on a first-come/first-served basis. 1 app (or suite) per person. I will PM the 'winner' of the software the serial.
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Weather
SPB Backup
SPB Online (Nolonger available from SPB Software House, but I have the CAB.. Includes SPB TV, SPB Radio, and SPB Online Games in one neat little app.)
SPB News
SPB Phone Suite
SPB Wireless Monitor
SPB Finance (Accounting/Budgeting Software)
SPB Bubbles (Game)
Strike-Thru (Strike-Thru) - indicates this software is no longer available.
This software is valued at over $150.00 by SPB.
[EDIT]
MODs.. I just naturally chose to put this on the Topaz forums because I had the HTC Pure, but you can feel free to move this into the General Windows Apps forum if you like. I wasn't thinking about that when I posted this.
Hi there Verrigan. I would very much like the "bubbles" license. For the missus. Thx.
EDIT Many thanks. D/L and registered OK.
I would love to get mobile shell for free
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
I would like to have SPB Weather. Thanks!
If this software doesn't all go by tomorrow, those of you who have already received serials may re-post and obtain additional serials.
I hate having paid for software that is doing absolutely nothing because I no longer have a windows mobile device.
Hi!
I really want the SPB Online app!
Hi!
I really want the SPB Backup app!
Thx you very much
Hi!
I would like to have SPB Wireless Monitor!
Thanks!
Alright, folks. Sorry if I have been taking too long to get back to anyone.. All requests should now be caught up. I hope you all are enjoying your new software!
[EDIT]
Please be advised: I am about to leave work. Any further requests for the remaining software will have to wait until I get home from my 2nd job.. in about 3 hours.
Alright.. 3 pieces left. Those who got software yesterday, if you want any of what's left, go ahead and post.
hi
Hi.. can you send me SPB Phone Suite??
Thanks in advance
**Post removed.**

**Post removed.**
I would be interested in the news application.
thanks.
Just one app left!
SPB Finance is pretty cool.. I didn't think I'd like it at first, but once I downloaded my bank info to it, it turned out to be a pretty neat app!
If you need a budgeting app, this could be the one you need. I'll give the first person who asks for it the serial asap, but I am quite busy at work today, and it may take me up to half an hour or so to respond.
Me please! thanks!
Let's give someone else a chance, first. If nobody else asks by tomorrow, it's yours.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I cannot believe the best program i have to buy it is free
SPB Finance if you can
Thanks in advance
All software has now been spoken for. This thread may be closed at moderator discretion.
If anyone is wondering where their serial number is, please check your PMs (Top, right corner of the screen just under where it says 'You last visited'), cause that is where I sent them.
I hope everyone who obtained an app enjoys what they got, and has no troubles with it.
I will now return to the Captivate forums.
Hi Devs,
This one is for you:
After having had some time with Mango on my HD2 to test and discuss with my wife, we decided to buy her a Mozart and upgrade it to Mango.
Only after doing so, we discovered, that music cannot be set as Ringtone. Please, do not tell me tales of all the little helpers used to create ringtones and sync them via zune etc.
I also have already found a nice App (easyRing) on the market, which lets one grab plenty of tones from the amazon mp3-preview store and set them as ringtones. nice idea actually.
But we are looking for an App, that offers the following 2 basic features:
- Pick a song from the Library on the phone, clip down to 39 or less seconds.
- Save as Ringtone/Set as Ringtone (actually this is two features, the first being a native mango command for Apps).
Anyone interested in developing this?
That'd be THE KILLER.
Actually i totally underestimated this feature. I never ever thought that this could actually be a buy/not decisive. My wife wants to get rid of the phone fast no matter what. the only way making her keep this is to have this feature available. She actually likes the OS. Weird, isn't it?
So, what's keeping you? Off you go kids!
The phones music library isn't accessible by third party apps so it's not possible right now.

Snickler actually is working on this already. His app r1ng3d is out for a while and has the features you find in easyRing. He is currently working on
Soon v1.2
* Localized strings.. I need translations for different languages. PM me.
* Ringtone creation on device (I freaking hope!)

wow. I have seen that app of Snickler but i didn't notice how close it came to my request.
Am gonna go check it out now. Thanks for pointing that out.
@Ren13B
And the library is not accessible by third-party apps? This is why? Where did you get this information from?
I am aware of this new command for Mango-Builds, "save as ringtone", as some MS Person pointed that out in a blog. Why shouldn't there be a way to access a song and apply that function onto it (i wonder).
[EDIT]
Since i have talked to Snickler and found out that he is working on just THAT feature i consider this threads purpose being served. unfortunately i haven't checked Snicklers R1ing3d before. Could have spared this thread.
So this just is a jumper to the mentioned thread. People looking for this function finding my Thread may want to go there. Have fun. Thanks for dropping by
