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SPB Pocket Plus - superseded by Mobile Shell.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).

Apps for The ATT Fuze

Hey guys what are some good websites and good apps that are a MUST have when using your Fuze/Raphael??? I allready have the Gmail App and Google Maps... Give me your opinions.
Thanks

Your question could probably get as many different answers as there are users.
Beyond a couple of TouchFlo / Diamond Tweak apps, the MAIN applications am using on the Fuze are the same as used on my Axim (albeit Updated in some cases):
"Required" Productivity Apps
Pocket Informant
PhatNotes
FITALY
eWallet
Useful Productivity Apps
ListPro
PhatPad
Utilities (not Diamond/TouchFlo specific)
Resco Explorer
MemMaid
Tweaks2k2
TotalCommander (just because)
Skyfire
Apps Not Yet Ported to Fuze - but Probably Will Be
Spb Pocket Plus
Spb Diary (maybe...)
MS Streets & Trips - Pocket Streets (if it will run...)
Pocket eSword
CalcNote and/or RapidCalc
Apps that May Not make the move:
Calligrapher
Most Games (Axim has become default Game Player...)
MasterSoft Money
WebIS Money
WebIS Mail
ABDIdea
Other users, as noted, will almost certainly have different lists - or perhaps even an INVERSION of this one!
Happy App Hunting...

Bump BumpBump BumpBump Bump

Handango.com has commercial apps, but most look overpriced IMO.
On the other hand, one sometimes gets what they pay for at http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
Some of the free apps are really terrific like S2U2, but there are some real stinkers posted there as well. READ THE USER COMMENTS FIRST!

Live Search Mobile. I love the Speech Recognition, it works darn good man.

Never mind searching; if you simply visit the "raphael software" forum here you'll see this excellent resource:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446306

Question answered, lots of threads like this already, as such closing this one.

Must-Have apps

can we use this thread for useful applications.
whether its tools to customize or certain programms. There are a lot of people who didn't own one of the latest HTC devices, thus they don't have a clue about the names of certain apps.
Those who do, could help them to install the right tools for their needs.

Too Right
we need load of appz for this phone like the iphone has. we must use the multitouch on board and develop loads of application for the HD2. So all you programmers out there get busy when the device comes out and give us some mega apps for this mega phone

the only MUST-HAVE app for me (and I've always had a few that I really like to have) is PhoneAlarm,
this is the best program I have ever found for conserving that all important battery life.
it allows you to set profiles and then switch to these profile based on time, gps location etc. The result is that you can switch things on and off as you need them (bluetooth, wifi, etc etc) which results in minimal power being used when you don't need the things turned on. for example, I have mine set to switch to flight mode at 12pm and then turns back on at 6.30am, this means my phone is effectively off at night (using virtually no power) and switches back on in the morning without me having to do anything. Why not just turn the phone off I hear you ask, well because if I did that I couldn't use the alarm to wake me up in the morning, and I would have to suffer the reboot time (which, lets be honest, isn't great is it)
and it's cheap to buy,

Please developers can we have an app like painting. an app that lets you paint like on the iphone, my little girl is crazy for that. I think the app is called "Brushes" just take a look at theses pics
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...i-masterpieces-finger-painting-new-level.html

I can realy seccond that!
My brother who is a iPhone user showed me lots and lots of nice apps making life easier and fun.
Prisjakt för example is a nice app that scans the thing you want to buy in a store and tells you the best price close to where you are.
Many many apps like this made me a bit confused wither i should still go WM or go over to the dark side... nah...
And why not a Mafia Wars app for WM as well?

Also include Sprite Backup for any kind of backups we may perform on our Leo's prior to flashing

Essentials for me are:
Resco contact manager (dont know with the new sense)
Pocket irc
SPB pocket plus & spb weather (dont know with the new sense)
Mypersonaldiet & MyPersonalTraining (Gym rat)
Resco explorer, because the WM explorer is a ****.
pocket player (good music player)
HiCalc
Tomeraider 3 (wikipedia offline)
Lexisgoo dictionary
ThumbCal
Coreplayer
Vito Audio Notes
Touch Pal (the best keyboard)
Pocket clock pro (best alarm and date/hour software so far)
SpaceTime 3.0 (maths)
PhatPad (to take notes, but I think that will be unusable in a capacitive screen)
SkyFire

Background all tabs...
I had touch hd and all tabs background was a very good app!
Thank's!

two apps I'd love are an ebay app and sky TV app....but no sign of such things anywhere...except on the iphone and since I can't wait to get rid of the stupid thing, I will have to suffer the lack of these two.
I also will have
Resco Registry Editor
Resco Explorer
Schapps Advanced config (assuing it will work on the HD2)
SPB Wireless (for tracking my internet usage)
SPB Time (as silly as it sounds, I found the snooze on WM too small when I'm half awake in the morning)
Resco Photo viewer (for editing images so I can send them via MMS)

I'd add Total Commander, enabling to change/overwrite system-files (such as the weather_cities.xml for other locations)
Generally I'd also really like to see such an variety of free apps for HTC devices as for the iPhone, cos I really don't want to buy such a piece of fruit, but the advantages keep growing...
I'm a Touch Cruise user, and really reading with suspense the first user-reports on the HD2, hoping it'll not be such a disappointment than my TC, but I fear I'll be disillusionned again from what I'm reading till now...

the sad thing is, there are a whole bunch of apps on the iphone that are free, and yet I would gladly PAY for them if they were on WM.

Cool needed Apps
okey, here we go,
Paint like VS paint or Vs Note pad,
Media like Core player, SPB TV or Dimond TV,
Games like Sky force, and Emulators like nes snes + Roms
barcode reader + step counter or pedometer etc...

Comic Reader Mobi
My single favourite app is Comicreader Mobi which makes comics look bloody awesome on the HD2!
I also use Kinoma Play.

* Resco Keyboard Pro.
Improves typing A LOT on the sensitive HD2 screen (due to the fact that it doesn't allow to change a character once you pressed one on the keyboard)
* Pocket Player with this skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563410
(no more fooling around with the buggy "Audio Booster", ust use the built-in EQ of Pocket Player. Better liberary browsing etc. )

Finger Keyboard 2.1 *free*
Batti 2.1 *free* (I love to be able to see my battery level as a thin bar on the top of the screen)
HTCaddicts CleanRAM 1.8 *free* The best RAM cleaner there is
Microsoft Voice Command (incredibly useful when driving)
SPB Newsbreak (Using this allows me to save so much time as opposed to using a browser alone)
TouchOff 0.5.0 *free* (For simple soft rests)
Touch response *free* (To enable more haptic feedback options)
SPB Traveller (For conversions, currency rates, etc)
Crackwhore's old style snooze options *free* (cause I simply cant use one fixed snooze alarm... this takes it back to the old style of being able to set the set the snooze length of time)
Coreplayer
Advanced Config Tool 3.3 *free*
Dutty's HTC task manager *free*(I really still cant let go of hit x to close apps)
Ewallet (for easy secure access to all my passwords, logins and other sensitive info)
Thanks to the others that have posted, I am keen to check out Comicreader Mobi too and a couple of other apps.

Sorry! Double post!

Must-haves for anybody:
SPB Shell
SPB Keyboard
One of: Resco File Explorer, Total Commander or similar
SPB Keyboard fixes all problems with HD2 keyboards, and SPB Shell is more practical IMO than the TouchFlo 3D interface.
Must haves for tweakers:
SKTools
Advanced Configuration
There's a lot of other good software I could list (e.g. TCPMP), but not everyone wants or needs them, so I don't consider them "must haves".

Do you know of any free alternative to that comic book reader app. I`d love to be able to read comics on my HD2 (for which I`m waiting eagerly(I`m from Romania btw)).

for me: Zooomer - I really like this tool

Trust me, none of them match up to this. It's worth the cost to be able to view the whole page full screen and tap on a bubble to zoom it to readable size! Plus, there's a free desktop version!

Your Top 5 3rd Party Apps for Leo?

Hi folks,
Like the title says,
I'm new to winmo after a hiatus of over 4 years. Loving my HD2/Leo (after sorting out some teething problems!).
I know there are hundreds if not thousands of apps that will work with the Leo but I would love to hear from seasoned winmo users; what are the first 5 3rd party apps you load up on your new device ......and more importantly, why?
Freeware is always good but I don't mind spending money on an application that does the job right.
So, what are your "Desert Island Apps"?
The apps you can't live without?
The apps that show off the functionality of Windows Mobile?
The apps that just "get things done" & of course the apps that are good for relaxation/entertainment..
Do tell!
Cheers,
wab.

Resco explorer, Skype, Palringo, SPB Traveler, Pocketmusic, iGO8, Opera, CorePlayer

Thanks for the quick first response, just like your name
Why those apps? Why Pocketmusic over HD2's built in one for example (though I think I know the answer to that!).
Didn't know skype app worked on the Hd2. Must investigate!
Cheers,
wab

hi
1) Resco explorer - best file explorer
2) Core player - best divx, flv, avi media player
3) Igo8 - my fav satnav
4) Spb backup - name says all
5) Experiment 13, Resco bubbles - gaming

I have just 1 app. which has travelled with me for a long, long time and has seen many devices, started with the old Windows CE Philips Velo: PhatNotes.
Oh yeah, and ListPro (of cause ...)
The rest is subject to changes. Changes that are mainly influenced by the device I'm using. Right now, I'm trying to substitute as many apps as possible for finger-friendly apps.

Cheers folks. Yes, Finger Friendly is good!! I like how the new 1.48 ROM seems to have pinch/zoom in more old apps. PhatNotes and List Pro I have to check out!
Keep 'em coming.
For me right now
1 - Mobipocket Reader/AlReader - For eBooks
2 - Pocket Informant - For PIM and GTD
3 - The Channer/CorePlayer - For Watching TV (when it works) and Media files
4 - Sugarsync - For Files on the go/sync'd to work computer
5 - YoMo Media - For RSS feeds
Above list subject to dramatic change based on suggestions in this thread!

Of cause, how could I forget Mobipocket. A pity though that browsing by tapping on the screen is such a hassle with the responsive screen of the HD2. Although I defined a big margin, I couldn't help selecting text so now and then instead of tapping to go page up or down.
But don't let me kidnap this thread... keep the suggestions comming

Just on that appelflap, in mobipocket, if you go to menu>options>general and under "Default selection action" change that to "None", its then a lot easier to change pages.
I've mine set up with the orientation and full screen icons visible at the bottom on app start (uncheck "Use Windows Mobile 2005 Softkeys" in toolbars tab to see these).
I then use icons to rotate screen and then enable full screen and then it works fine.
I can't go back to "normal screen" from here but its easy to hit the home button and open app again to get back to non full screen mode. I usually just hit home when I finish reading anyway and leave it in the background until I get a chance to read again.
Hope that makes sense and helps!
But anyway, on with the indispensible app finding!
Like appelflap said, keep those suggestions coming, especially for noobies (and there are a lot I think since Leo came out!!).

Resco Explorer - best explorer for me
Alreader2 - for .fb2 books
Navitel - for navigation
PhatPad - for notes

More or less these are my top 5:
1. Resco Expolrer - Best file explorer for me
2. CorePlayer - Plays most videos decently
3. iGo - For navigation
4. MobiReader - Best ebook reader overall. Desperately needs update.
5. Sentry 2020 - Fast encryption software.

Ok here's mine..:
1)Resco Explorer~far the best
2)iGo8~for satnav
3)CorePlayer~for playing most video formats(Althought i think the WMP is better for just playing a video on MPEG format,it has better viewing quality)
4)SpriteBackup~backup prog works very well for me
5)e-Natives Showcase~The best taskmanager for the one that is missing on the Leo!

1. iGO8 for SatNav
2. Pocket Informant as PIM
3. Resco Explorer with Reco Registry Plugin as File explorer
4. Pocket Mechanic to defrag Storage Card
5. The New Resco Photo Manager to resize, correct, enhance your pics before sending...

1. Rungps
2. Mortplayer
3. Resco explorer
4. Opera
5. Oziexplorer

Resco Photo Manager looks great! nice one!

TURNS OUT:
1.3.6 is not designed for use in a Snap Dragon CPU.
Core Player opens up, but pressing the Play button causes a total freeze "of the entire unit, then only a soft reset the unit back to life.
tHIS DOES HAPPEN..twice to me, and removed it..reportedly the community is wating for the release of Coreplayer 2.0, said to take care of the incompatabilities with 1.36. Guess I am waiting too...
Actually I opted to can Core playerand got Kinoma Play.
I'd used and liked Wisbar 3 but not in the HD2! Turns out that Lakeridge is beta testing version 4 for WM 6.5 right now.
Mine are:
eWallet
Resco Explorer
Pocket Informant
Phat Notes
Sprite Backup Full Version 6.5.5 bld 1
Sorry 'bout all the added info but there's my 5.
Take Care

I've been using Coreplayer v1.3.5 build 7340.
Never had any freezes or had to soft reset.

Totally agree. Got to admit, i have used the "special" search function before,but i didnt find it very helpfull........my opinion.
Must have for me:
Resco explorer & Resco registry= The best file manager
Resco Photo Manager= the best photo viewer(compatible with most formats)
Memmaid= the best cleaner
Batti=Since i am blind as a bat,the battery status bar is very important to me.
No Data= to diconnect/disable data connections......and increase the battery life.(still havent found the solution to disconnect after 1 minute,no tweaks/apps worked for meanyone can help?)
Nitrogen= The best music player
Those are just a few,but are the most important ones for me.
Tonic,welcome to xda, and remember,dont let anyone put you down. But do try and look around the forum (if u hadnt) for any answers. We all started as newbies once(i still am). Also,try to keep some thoughts/comments to yourself,even if someone else doesnt,try not to be the same as them.
Take care all! off to bed!
