It's been kind of hard for me to find really good software for my PPC. So here I give you a list of what I currently think you should have. Look for them on the e-mule.
UTILS
pTravelAlarm 2.05
-Its much better than the original windows alarm and it allows you to set up even the days of the week that each alarm should sound.
Pocket Controller-Professional 5.02
-Just for fun. With this prog installed into the PC and the PPC you can run use your device throw the computer.
Resco Audio Recorder 3
-The name says it all. I use it to record personalized ringtones for my friends, now my mobile speaks and tell me who is calling.
Resco Keyboard PRO 4.33
-I speak spanish and its kind of obseting not to have the ñ character to send SMS.
SPB PocketPlus 3.0
-The funtion I like the most is that now I can swich throw programs without closing them.
WinamPAQ 0.93
-Its really usefull if you want to use your PPC as a media device.
WorldMate Pro 3.0
-I like to know how is the weather before stepping out the door.
hi
although most of us still use some pirated softwares on our ppc but this forum is not for that.. there are plenty of other forums where this stuff goes on and lets not bring that over here
im sure the MODS would agree with me on this
thanks
I agree - I have edited his post, as you can see.
Please don't use this forum as a platform for cracked software. This is a great danger to a forum that is bringing so much joy and help to us. Let us alltogether try to keep it safe and clean...
Thank you
Where should I send it?
I didn´t find a cracked PPC software site, I downloaded it all from the e-mule
I don't think anyone can separate files from E-mule...you can get only download pathes...99% of the network is pirated stuff i suppose...
You dont get anything free on emule, its all warez stuff
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.
Look I'm a noob and I know it, but would someone please tell me what the jargon "manila' refers to? I keep seeing references to "manila" files in the Windows directory and keep trying to find them to no avail Forgive my ignorance.
//if you can
that would be touchflo
Yep, you be a noob. Haha. Well you got to get something like Total Commander or Resco Explorer that allows you to see the hidden files that MSFT does not think you are intelligent anough to be allowed to see. The manila files are the icons and other tweakable files that tell TF3D what to do and look like. They appear to be called .manila on the Diamond and TP. I do not know if they are called manila on other HTC devices. Presumably some programmer at HTC lives in some town called Manila or wanted a take on Vanila as in plain or was porking some girl named Manila, although that sounds like an odd name for a girl.
Hey guys, I just downloaded some HTC diamond themes for mobile shell and well there are 7 of them. My question is wich is wich ??? They're names go like so...(B) ms2.1 diamond theme, (C) ms2.1 diamond them, etc....I would just like to know if there is a thread with decriptions, and maybe pics about them, c ause I can't find it !
Thank you !
hi moxycalt, as long as i remember they're made for QVGA device resolution. Most of them created by greatbal and if u're also using the same device resolution then u're good to go
Thank you very much.....you helped me remember the name ! I'll check out is posts !
Hi Gents, my name's Paddy and I'm the proud new owner of a TG01 thanks to Orange selling them off at £150! I love it for the fact that I have 24/7 internet access in my pocket, I have a phone and SMS and the rest I'm gradually finding out...(only had it 2 weeks).
I can navigate my way around the device 'now,' but haven't a clue how to change and customise the rather bland "Today Screen," with it's multitude of stripes!
Having looked through this section, I'm in total AWE of you gentlemen, who have the skill and knowlege base to change these things and some of your screens are just amazing, with BIG weather symbols, LARGE clock faces, the date (which I don't have) ..etc, and 'I' would just love to have a go at changing and customising mine (if it's not 'too hard' or risky for a beginner like myself).
Reading things like, TITANINUM; HTC; DOWNLOAD CABS (aren't those taxi's?) is a new language to me, so I need some hand-holding on this one, and basically a 'paint by numbers' BASIC guide on how to change things on this phone of mine (This is from a guy with a 1938 working phone in the house!).
I appreciate that you fella's are leagues ahead of me on what these gadgets 'can do' and what one can 'do with them,' (And it's great to find fok who are so into doing these things) and I understand if my request is rather trivial in the greater scheme of things here, but I honestly wouldn't ask if I didn't want to learn and really do 'need the help and assistance .'
Yours in anticipation. PADDY.
Hi
One of the best things you can put on the TG01 (and the most simple) is SPB mobile shell. Can be found here:
http://spb.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
Unfortunately you do have to pay for it after the 15 day trial, but for the additional functionality it gives your phone, well worth it
So much nicer than the shoddy tosh interface.
Widgets include:
Clocks, Calenders, Wireless switches, Battery indicators, Messaging notifications, Weather, Media player, Photo frames . . the works
There are various addons for mobile shell available on XDA.
Doesnt cost to give it a go
Hope this helps
Thanks for that.
I didn't even know about that, so thankyou. I'm going to have a look now to see what they have to offer.
When I see things like the pictures posted by members here of their customised screens, and compare it to the default options of my TG01 screen, the two really are planets apart! like different phones almost!
It would have been so much nicer if Toshiba had better options available for the screen layouts, but alas no. So hence my asking for this help.
Thanks again, I appreciate the effort. Paddy.
spb shell it would be fine for you and much more things...
Btw a .cab file is a windows mobile file to install directly on your tg01 an application(any kind of)(like copy/paste[somewhere on tg01, maybe storage card]/tap on .cab & follow onscreen instructions.
You can have something like this by adding SPB Mobile Shell and a skin on top of that.
Skin..etc

I can follow the downloading of the SPB (Seems straight forward - even for 'me!'). But what is the 'addition of a skin ontop' mean please? (don't worry, I know when I am talking about things I'm really familiar with, it's easy to overlook the lesser knowledge of others' until someone stops me and says, "I didn't quite grasp that, could you just explain more slowly please...").
The effect (shown in the pics) looks great! it's just 'how to' get there that I don't know... (gotta start somewhere I guess).
Putting a skin onto mobile shell means that its changing the original graphics for different ones, like for example the launcher bar at the bottom of the homescreen, or the clock. Personally Im happy with most of the supplied graphics, and the only thing I've put on extra is a widget pack for extra functionality. One baby step at a time Just install mobile shell and get used to that first, the rest will follow later
Good advice in the above post, take a small step at a time. I've tried loads of themes and I've done quite a few hard resets in the past few weeks, this means starting from afresh each time and re-syncing contacts etc.
The best theme I've seen is the Sense 2.5, however the functionality just isn't there yet, contacts not working, can't save internet favorites etc, so it's no good for me at this stage. Other skins can have problems too like memory leakage.
To get my skin I just installed the Mtstmp-Keithdupont MS Espresso cab over SPB Shell and then rearranged the widgets to where I wanted them.
Try here just search on the forum for " SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 tricks"
Really good advice! (Found some video tuition too)
I've been playing with it for the last day or so, and it seems straight forward enough and has a nice look to it! It's good to have the 15-day-trial to test it out too, as that will be ample time to see if it works for 'me.'
For anyone else out there who is a total 'newbie' to these things. For installation advice, go onto YouTube as there are plenty of step-by-step visual guides on how to download the SPB Trial (I didn't know whether to go for the CAB download or the other option! it recommended the CAB) and it breaks it all down into easy steps. 'If' you miss abit, well you can just backtrack the video guide again
The one thing I am finding tricky right now with the SPB, is when I want to make a phone call and do a 'search' via typing in a name for a number. The option of the QWERTY keyboard in my phone section always seems to escape me right now!! no idea why, but hopefully I'll figure that out as it's an important option for me to 'find' a name and number to phone.
Finally, FIRST CLASS SERVICE and help from you gents on this one, as I didn't have a clue where to look or begin, and the new layout really does look professional IMHO! Cheers, PADDY.
PADDY_M
In phone mode, you have a key(left, bottom, right near TALK [phone] sign) ''HIDE (phone) KEYPAD'', tap it and you should get the device keyboard(toshiba or else).
Good luck!
Let me know you got it...
Got it.
Thankyou!!! makes life so much easier!!
Welcome, anytime I can be helpfull...
I am not much more informed than Paddy above but perhaps more foolish. I have downloaded and installed 40 mb of Htc sense 2.1 ( i think). And cannot remove it. I think I need to hard reset? Hold down camera, vol up etc. If I do, will this return the phone to "as new" or will I also lose all original files.
I am most worried about losing coreplayer as I don't have a pc.

As far as I know coreplayer is preinstalled in wm 6.5/6.1 toshiba ROM, no need to worry about.
Regarding the faulty installation of htc stuff, I suppose(not sure 100%) you're right: hard reset=master clear(start/settings/system/masterclear ) will return your tosh as new(this is 100%sure).

If you do a hard reset, the phone will be as you got it from the store. So it will still have core player installed

If you hard reset (Master Clear is same thing) then you will be back to 'out of the box' status. When you start up a clean device like that, it installs several .cab files provided within the ROM, including the assorted Orange apps and also including Core Player.
If you want to get rid of (most) of the Orange-ness of the TG01 you can intercept this process and prevent these apps being installed, or choose just to add Core Player but none of the others. This is done by using a desktop Registry Editor via USB while it starts up. Detailed instructions are in this thread on MoDaCo (see Post #25).
Thanks very much all. That puts my mind at ease. I'll be able to try other stuff now.
