Games/Applications that you're running on Touch Pro

Just thought it would be interesting to see which products you are running on your Touch Pro and how you are finding it?
UI
TouchFlo 3d - works fine am prepared to wait for later ROM releases for speed increases.
SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.1 - running in background for better navigation to all programs/games.
Apps
Resco Explorer 2008 v7.03
SPB Weather 1.7.4 Trial - though not liking it as much as the TouchFlo 3d version.
Google Maps updated to 2.2.0.16 (www.google.com/gmm in IE on your phone)
AvantGo - been using this for years great offline news service.
Games
SPB AirIslands Trial - not played
Resco Sodoku Touch v1 - nice Sodoku game
SPB Brain Evolution Trial - nice set of simple games to while away a train journey.
Tested Apps/Games
Winterface 1.1.1 - like the Unlock Slider, but preferred the current set-up otherwise.
TouchCommander - found it buggy and not as good as SPM Mobile Shell.
SPB Pocket Plus - superseded by Mobile Shell.
What games/apps do you have running and should I maybe try and purchase if that great??
I like the TouchFlo 3d Music and Picture Apps, is there anything else I should try that could remove this from my UI?

Hey guys... First time with a hardware keyboard. Could anyone reccommend any good game or emulator that works with the keyboard on Touch Pro?

UI
TouchFlo 3d - All form and no function for me. replaced with
SPB Mobile Shell.
Apps
Resco Explorer 2008 v7.03
SPB Weather
SPB Backup
Schapps Advanced config
IGO8
IM Plus
Games
Resco BrainTraining to keep me amused
Resco Sodoku
trying to find some simple games that amuse me, but not been successful yet. Or some classic adventure stuff. Will probably get round to installing Monkey Island using SCUMMVM at some point though

If you like Monkey Island, you could always install the original Broken Sword, that was ported to PPC by Astraware, was great fun to replay that game again!

You have to try snails!
It's like worms (for those who remember the old worms 2), but with snails instead. Can be played on 1 machine by many users (so it allows to have fun with friends) and brings back a lot of good childhood memories

hi marios96, try frotzce or pocketfrotz with all the various interactive fiction files (hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, zork etc.). if you are bored with that you can try the nethack port. if you are bored with that you can install pocketconsole and pocketcmd and compile all those unix console games (mastermind, hangman etc).

Tab for Skyscape programs...?

Hey guys!
First off just like to say that this is an amazing site and especially for a pocket pc newbie such as my self has enabled me to do great things with my HTC touch pro.
I have downloaded a series of programs from skyscape (medical ppc books) and i added them to the programs tab on the TouchFlo 3D. The prob is, they all have the same icon and no text shows so hard to tell them apart.
I was wondering if there is a way to add a new Tab on the touchflo so that it would work like a folder for all of my skyscape programs with text preferible to distinguish between them. That way i could access the programs with a seperate program tab just for special programs...
Thx in advance and keep up the great work!

The simplest way would be to create a shortcut to the folder the apps are installed in, and copy the folder shortcut to your windows programs folder.
or create a new folder with shortcuts to your apps and then create a shortcut to that folder in the programs group.
There are many other ways it could be done, but this would be the simplest for you, with very little room for making a mistake.
Cheers,
Beasty

Where did you get your version of skyscape for the touch pro?

Did you pay for skyscape or did you find a cracked version with a keygen somewhere? I can't seem to find it.

Do not ask, direct, instruct, discuss, or mention warez. I.E. trying to get retail software for free.
You have been warned.

sorry....what way should I go about stuff like that?

Warez discussion leads to a ban. No more warnings... the rules are clearly stated, it's nobody's fault but your own if you didn't read them. See you in 3 days...
To the OP:
Check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3125006&postcount=16. It's actually directions on how to remove the AT&T tab from the Fuze's stock ROM, but adding lines to the file mentioned should allow you to add a tab.

Essential software for D2?

Hi guys,
I am new here so hello fellow D2 users!
I was after essential software for the D2. So far I only have the standard stuff like google maps, word, excel etc, that came with the phone.
What are your favorite programs that you deem essential for the D2?
Thanks so much.

(1) dictionary
(2) regedit S/W
(3) GPS program like Map King

Thank you wenxi, it is appreciated.
Can you recommend particular programs for the three?
Also is Google Maps not good enough, compared to map king.
Is there actually some kind of App Store, like on the Iphone only for Windows Mobile?
Thanks

Wich ebook reader to use with WVGA?

Wich ebook reader to use with WVGA?
Anybody got a idea? Having trouble to read eBooks because everything is to small.

allreader search for free english version...
I don't have the link handy.... it scales very well for any screen size..
you can also add fonts to the windows font folder and change the fonts in the program.
the same program works in both standard and professional wm...

eReader and Mobipocket work perfectly on Omnia 2 (WVGA). As rob_van_triet says, you can use fonts from your PC and of course, you can set fontsize to anything you like.

try this http://www.isilo.com/

Allreader is the one (-;
Thx all

Wise choice
I use Alreader on HD and happy with it.

You can also try µBook (http://www.gowerpoint.com/).

Thanks guys for the info, was looking for a good eReader for quite some while now =D

Anyone have a link to free english version of allreader? Can't find free one anywhere?! Thanks!!

Extract and copy .exe file to your phone and run Its english Alreader 2.3, works very good on my Leo

Thanks Petulinek! Its perfect! Nice one.

It's better than Abode Reader?

Maybe a stupid question but i'm looking for a e-book reader which can do the following things:
- Can open .LIT, .EPUB and .MOBI
- Works in a Windows Mobile 6.5 environment
- Works on a HTC HD2 smartfone, i.e. without a stylus
I've tried all the possible apps mentioned above. I used to be very fond of MS Reader but that one doesn't work on Winmo 6.5. Does anybody have an idea for me? TIA

UBook works perfect, do not use pencil, the application is handled very well by setting the gestures, supports multiple formats of text files sorporta zipped text with pictures inside, change fonts, appearance and etc.
The first time I Insala gave me problems but I think it's because they did not have Framework 3.5 installed on HD2, now works perfect, although I can not certify that the problem was not having Framework installed.
A greeting

I am looking for the same thing I have tons of .LIT books so I need an ebook app to handle that

does anyone of them have page markers to save your current location in the "book"?

alreader has page markers.

Undoubtedly uBook reader, supports multiple formats, annotations, boolmarks, etc, HD2 works perfectly and gestures can be configured to turn the page, etc. autoscroll.
I use and I will perfect

Thanks, i have 2.6 if ya want it, its ok, finger scroll would be nice though

I have been reading ebooks on my various phones for years and the best I have used on Windows Mobile is AllReader followed by uBook then Mobipocket. Isilo is poor in my view and to be avoided. I used to use uBook more than any other but once you start using AllReader there is no going back, it is just so configurable. Superb software and well worth the money.

DWG (AutoCAD) viewer for pocket PC

Who knows of a good AutoCAD DWG app for PocketPC? Yesterday I installed on an HTC HD2 the following program: pocket_pc_cad_viewer (http://www.cadsofttools.com/en/products/pocket_pc_cad_viewer.html)
It works fine, but the buttons on the screen are VERY small, and with finger control it's not easy.
Furthermore I found this oneowercad CE (http://www.graebert.com/index.php?option=com_cad&Itemid=52&id=Mobile&lang=en)
But it's very expensive.
Does anyone know a good alternative? Or a possibility to enlarge the buttons of the first app? That would also be welcome.
Thanks!

Moved as not software release.

ok, thanks. Sorry for my mistake.

I've also been looking for something like this, but I couldn't find other free alternatives.
did you tried the free "DWF Anywhere" from Gräbert?
Autodesk do not offer any mobile solution.

no, haven't tried that one. Does it also view DWG, and or Solidworks drawings?
