hello to everyone! i'm new in this forum (and sorry for my bad english, sometimes.. )
I'm going to buy the hd2 and I was looking for some cool apps.. I saw that there are some users that asked about "measuring apps" like light meter, angle meter, sound meter..
but without much success..
It will be great if someone could post a list of those programs (expecially a seismometer app, really cool! like this one --> youtube search: Seismometer App Demo For Windows Phone 7 || can't post the url cause i'm new..||
but for 6.5)
thanks!
try using the search function of the forum, than you'll find a few apps
or just browse the pages a bit, for example there is a metal detector app somewhere near the beginning of the themes and apps page
btw don't forget to say thanks to the developers and good luck with finding the apps you want
thanks gewoonian!
yes I've found some apps.. the only one I've not found yet is the seismometer.. I was searching for an iphone or wp7 (watch video) -like app.. but I couldn't find, also in other sites or forums..:\
maybe cause a hardware-limitation (g-sensor)?

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.

I have searched and can't find what I want so end up asking, but then feel a nuisance
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

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.

hey
could you point me in the direction of where that is being developed
thanks
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 ).

Thanks Ian,
just installed Omarket, very impressed with it so far.
I thought today about all the forums I use. I use a lot as I am sure most of you do. Most forums tend to be built the same way, threads, reply buttons, quote buttons etc etc.
Would it be possible to create an app whereby a forum was condensed onto your phone? No need to use a web browser and have to constantly zoom in and out and mess around with too much directional scrolling. You see I was using twitter on my HD2 today and I just thought that a forum set out like the twitter boxes with all the individual tweets would be pretty cool. Click on your thread and browse with various text size options etc.
The initial screen of the app would have a box to enter the URL of your desired forum and also a list of saved forums or favourites.
Could this be possible?
Thanks.
i like the idea, sounds really good....not sure if it would work though......
+1 for this.
+1 Me too .. it will be Great tool !!
I thought there was already an XDA app. I know there is one for Android.
Yeah; I too would like to see a WinMo app for this.
glad you all agree, we just need someone to dev it!
There is one, but it doesnt fully work. Ill see if i can find it
That was easy using search http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540504
Hi guys, I'm new to xda-developers. Can anybody help me which android apps are mostly widely used now a days...
Thanks in advance...
Your question is a little broad. Games? Productivity? Flashing?
I think most people on this forum would agree that Titanium Backup is near the top of any list.
Seems like everyone but me is playing Angry Birds.
Most people get a lot of use out of the Music apps. And if you have functioning GPS (you should be able to get there from studying the posts on the forum) you'll get a lot of use out of Google Maps and Navigation.

Thanks for the reply, Soccer_Dad.
Well, I'm asking about the Android Games. I've bought a new android mobile and I don't know what games to be played. I like adventurous kind of games.
Can u suggest me some websites...?

Thanks a ton PhilDsT and Jamay for the your support.
Can I know which is best among Android, Iphone, Blackberry, Symbian and others. I've searched a lot for this, but I can't get right answer.
Of course this is not a poll, I'm just waiting for someone telling me the effective answer.
Thanks in advance.
I will try with my simple english (and a little help from google =)
(for thanks, there is a button at the bottom right of each post)
This is not a poll, this is a troll
There is no best mobile operating system, and no right answer...
That depend on your needs, android is open (a little free), iOS is closed (but can be open), Symbian doesn't have the success it deserve and i don't know blackberry.
My favorite is AOSP ; android open source project (with custom rom), because I find all apps I need and all mods I need...
@ Jamay......Sorry for my bad English......

Thanks found this very helpful. There is a lot out there nice to see what others are using and like.
Found this when surfing the net earlier today:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/150-best-android-apps-of-year-2011-editors-pick/
I don't know most of the apps, which is quite shocking! Anyway, enjoy!
P.S: I tried searching the forum but didn't find this, so I hope it's not been posted yet.
Kind of useless, probably.....
First app ... Google Currents is not available in my country .....
Ok, looked further at the list ... some interesting stuff ......
That's quite a list!
Thanks.
thanks,
There are a lot of applications. Some of them are not interesting but some are very usefull.
Yes, true... But even if they are not useful now, they may be useful in the future, as has happened to me.
P.S: Google Currents can be downloaded here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-currents-apk-installer-file/. I tried it and prefer Taptu as it's faster to update the feeds and I can set white text against a black background.
I would like to hear what everyone thinks is the best of the best.
Anything related to Skyrocket/SGS II LTE, and Android.
Roms, Kernels, Modems, Apps, Games, Themes, etc.
I've tried doing this before, but people aren't too contributory unfortunately. I can direct you to r/android which will help you get a lot more general Android information, as well as just a good community with cool insights. Check out top rated posts over X time frame, and use the search to find recommendations for almost everything.
But in case this starts off; go to myColorScreen to find cool theme ideas. And apps I recommend downloading are Pokemon Tower Defense (awesome game) and Faceniff / Network Spoofer (facebook session hijacking / general prank device for people on your wifi [ replace all images with a trollface, redirect them to kittenwar.com ] )

I check here for ROMs and a few other random threads, but for general android info/news/tips I go to Reddit. I dunno if you've used Reddit before (it's a bit complicated), but once you get used to it it'll pretty much replace any website you used to go to for science, pics, android, music, jokes, memes, etc etc.
Just Pictures is a great Gallery alternative... XDA Edition of Better Battery Stats = must have!
Goo Manager is also a nice alternative to Rom Manager...

I don't allow a "best" thread as it causes more flaming, trolling and just problems in general.
