Windows Mobile 6 - General Topics

Hi, I have just bought a HTC Touch Dual, and I am wondering where I can find good high quality games for it.
I would like cooking mama especially
1. Can the touch dual utilise it?
So, if anyone has the game is there a way you could post it.
2. Does anyone have any good sites for applications and/or games, and what applications do you like the most and find most useful?
3. Lastly, where can I download the HTC 2d touchflow interface from, and how do I put it on the device?

You're better off buying yourself a Nintendo DS. Because what you want to achieve is unachievable with the hardware you have.

Welcome to the forum
I would recommend to visit the Wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Find your device and see what can be done with it, I´m sure some nice stuff you can add
Enjoy!

New PDA

Hi guys,
Well, I am in the market for a pda. My boss has gotten approval for my department to get pda's. I have had desktops, laptops, and an iPhone, but I have no experience in this area. Can anyone give me advice on a good pda. Most of my work involves MS Excel and Word. Need support for pdf, and Access if possible. Need easy to use interface for Excel. Plenty of memory, and decent speed. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Just google: HTC HD, HTC G1, Touch Pro, Omnia, Xperia
This ones are good choices to have in mind
Good luck
Well firstly, do you need a pda or a pda/phone?
Thanks a lot for the advice. I found the HTC Touch Cruise at http://www.pressdigital.com.au/phones-classic-pdas-accessories/touch-cruise-professional-bundle-p-5789.html. Looks perfect. I primarily need the pda, since I have an iPhone for personal use. But, the video conferencing is a plus. Anyone have any experience with this model?
Thanks again,
Chris
Most of the info you need can be found in the wiki HERE & you can read about the phone in the Polaris forum...
I have the Touch Cruise (Polaris). Its a good compromise between an iPhone and a PDA, but it is a compromise. Seeing that you have an iPhone already, and that you want to edit Office documents, maybe you should look into something with a built in keyboard and a larger screen.
I'd be lying if I told you that dealing with onscreen keyboards on a 2.8" screen is not annoying when you are looking at a spreadsheet. The HTC Athena x7501 is larger, but more much useable for that purpose. It can also do video calls. (However, if you are located in the US, no carrier supports video calling at this time.)
Here's a review link http://www.mobiletechreview.com/HTC-Advantage-X7510.htm
Thanks very much Sonus and Reaper. Great information. Good point about the keyboard. I found a one similar that I am considering - http://www.pressdigital.com.au/phones-classic-pdas-accessories/tytn-hsdpa-phone-bundle-p-5776.html. Anyone have any experience with this one?
Thanks very much,
Chris
The TyTn II is a good business phone phone. Its basically an HTC Touch Cruise with a keyboard, and it is therefore thicker too. Same screen size (2.8"), but the TyTn II is less finger friendly due to its recessed screen, and it doesn't have FM radio like the Touch Cruise. You might want to check out the TyTn II forum or specific device forums for their suggestions also. HTC also released a couple of new phones, browse over to www.htc.com to check them out.
P.S. My suggestion is still the HTC Athena series (x7500, x7501, or x7510 listed from oldest to newest) as long as you don't plan on bringing it everywhere with you and will more than likely keeping it in a brief case vs. in your pants pocket most of the time.
Ohh, and re-reading your first post, the in-built conduit for syncronizing access databases with a PC was done away with the inception of Windows Mobile 6. Furthermore, except for in really old PDAs (devices running Pocket CE 2000 or older), Pocket Access is not available, so you need to go third party for database software. So I would also do some googling and see what the software makers of Windows Mobile database software have to say about syncing database stuff on a WM6 or WM6.1 phone.
Really appreciate your suggestions. I decided to go with the TyTN II. As far as the Access, this is not really a big issue. Access databases are too large anyway when the same data can be used in Excel.
Thanks,
Chris

Got a new WM after a few years, what's changed? Please get me up to speed!

Hi Guys n Girls,
Well I've been a member since '05 but haven't really played with WM's since the Magicians and Alpines. I've had a TyTn but didnt like it and didnt really play with it and then lost an XDA Orbit on the first night down the pub with it. I've been using an N95 lately.
I've just got myself a Polaris and it looks great! I used to love modding my other WM's but it's been a while and I was just wondering what's changed and what's new. I've had a bit of a read but just need some advice on what software to buy and what steps to take.
So here's a few questions I have:
What's the best media player?
I will listen to a lot of music and watch films while on the go. I used to use TcpMP I think. I need one that supports a lot of codecs and don't really wanna use more than one.
What's the best keyboard software?
I had SPB full screen keyboard and it was a lifesaver. Is this the best? I like the zoom fuction on the ipod keyboard.
Is SPB pocket plus still a must?
I felt this package covered bits left out by MS (such as the real 'x' close button etc.) Is it still recomended or are there other ways around things nowadays.
How do I get this touch flow stuff? It looks cool - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y78EB0rahQA
I love the way things are more fingertip oriented. I think Apple innovated this.
Is there still a program to design themes?
Or where can I get cool themes? I like the dark styles and windows 7 looks nice.
Is ROM flashing still risky?
I've got the o2 branded ROM at the moment. I used to love trying the community's ROMS but I've just started a family and I'm real skint. I bought my Polaris PAYG and really can't afford to brick it. Mind you cooking ROMs was half the fun!
The best PDF reader?
I read a lot of PDF's and remember never finding one up to standard. Ideally it will be fullscreen with no need to scroll along the lines.
What else do you guys recommend I do to get the best out of my HTC device?
I've forgotten loads and feel like a noob again and just need some advice about what you guys consider 'must have steps'. I remember things such as installing the widdicomm BT stack as the MS one is crap. I use bluetooth stereo headphones (motorola S9s) for music.
Hope you guys have some pointers for me and I'm looking forward to playing again!
I'm off to the read the Polaris Wiki
Thanks,
Gareth
p.s. Oh by the way it's great to see this community has gone from strength to strength. It really has grown! It seems to be the HQ of the WM world now. Congrats!

You might want to read my roundups - they give you a definite answer to some of your q's (multimedia, Spb Pocket Plus when it comes to the IEM plug-in, theme management with the latest tools etc.)
Thanks,
I've just bee reading your sticky on browsers and I'm gonna take your advice and use opera mobile and flash package, i'm downloading the cabs from RS now.

Not really true - at least not yet. (Albeit, highly possible, given that at least game development for WinMo has almost entirely ceased in the last half a year....)
It's only at some categories that iPhone is MUCH better than WinMo (with much more SW titles); the most important being games.

Port or Clone of Wobble for iPhone?

So I'm looking for a clone of this fantastic iPhone app:
http://i.gizmodo.com/5133258/nsfw-wobble-iphone-app-adds-boob-jiggle-to-real-boobs-is-approved
for my Verizon HTC Touch Pro. Anyone know if there is some software out there, or anyone want to tackle this critical piece of software to make the Touch Pro mainstream?
LOL that is great stuff.
Yes, that would be great! awesome application.
hdWobble for Blackstone (Touch HD)
Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmzMwVzxZuQ
That'll be a download for me.
Three questions:
1. When
2. Where
3. Touch Pro NON-HD?
VGA please!

You should link to your post in the Blackstone section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522179
Try Tiki Tower or BBuild.
Edit:
Uhhhh....whoops...thinking of a completely different app. ignore me.
This has already been discussed in another thread. Why don't you try searching with TWO hands to make our lives easier?

Great news, if you don't like it, you don't have to download it. Other than that, your post was vapid. Thank me.
i asked him on youtube if he was working on vga he said its on his to do's so hopefully soon
hdWobble
Even though by its name you would say this app is intended for Touch HD only, actually it is working even on QVGA devices. WQVGA and VGA included.
Initially it started as app for Touch HD but on your requests I made it available in other resolutions. Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3890171#post3890171

Where are those skins coming from? Some of them look curiously like M2D themes posted on this site and why aren't they credited ?
And not only from M2d, i even see some of my work, as always uncredited....

This soft is not good at all for my device (O2 Flame).
It runs really slow, don't keeps settings after a soft reset, and i can't see anywhere the changelog on the site. Is that for VGA or not? Nobody knows...

Phantom, ignore the naysayers. I have been waiting for some better skins to come out for Touch Shell so that I can at least give it a legitimate run for the money. Thank you for your work. The skins below "More skins here"...where do I find the cabs for those. Can you post them here? I only speak English.

I'm confused. Did he ask for money? Aren't we all just ripping off TF3D, a product of HTC, so that we don't have to buy new Diamonds and Touch Pros? I agree to give credit where credit is due, but he would have had to put a lot of time into making these skins compatible for the Touch Shell.
can you publish links from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=106374?

Please someone, come with a link for the skins.
What kind of developer posts stuff and never comes to check on the thread? I PM'd this guy TWO WEEKS ago and haven't heard anything back. Looks like someone was just trying to look cool on XDA-Developers. Excuse me while I go find an obscure skin no one has seen and post it here.
I am over it, though. I am rocking on with NFSFAN's AMAZING 6.5 ROM. Touch-Shell is like this developer: too little, too late.
I can't register at pda.ru/forum,too.Someone do me a favour,please.

Touch Pro or not to Touch Pro

Hi all,
I have been a fan of the XDA-Dev site for a while now so I know I will get some good advice. I have an opportunity to get the Touch Pro free at an online reseller if I switch to Verizon. I have been using WinMo devices since my Ipaq 3955 and still love the versatlity of the os, given its Idiosyncrasies.
Based on personal experiences would this be a good move? I want the ability to use my own GPS programs and I like being able to flash to "bone rom's" so I can use the apps I want, and durability is a must. I also want a good messageing/multi-media device. The messaging is mainly for the wife's consideration.
Please forgive me if this post is in the wrong place.
Cheers,
Jeff.
the tp is everything you want, and then some
