How do I find the applications I want?

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

Thanks for that, some useful cabs on there
I'm really looking forward to the dedicated "app" store being developed on here

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.

agree, i am using olivetree and it is the best though it has small icons on the bottom. i also read on it the arabic version of the bible too. P.S. set the scrolling on Taping to "Screen" and it works great.

Thanks a lot! It is a very useful app!

Desktop Search for Android?

Hi everybody!
Is there a desktop search tool like dtsearch or google desktop search for android? i suppose not, didn't find anything.
I think many of us have several pdf/hmtl/docs etc. on our phones that we'd like to use for quick reference on the go.
Thank you very much in advance
Nasobem

*bump*
I hope there is at least something in development. I'm willing to pay for a document search program.

As tablets become more popular, and as the variety of uses for tablets grows, something likecthis is goingto be mandatory. I already wish something like this was available!

Doesn't the Google search widget cover a lot of the bases?

No. I see where it makes you think it will search within apps like Google docs, evernote, and springpad, but I have searched for 2 text strings that I know are in all 3 and all I got is internet results.
Im looking forward to an indexed search where I can search my thousands of PDFs and docs and text files on my android tablet, like I can on my pc.

Great "Quran on the go" options for Muslim brothers and sisters

There are great Quran apps in Play Store to begin with
but some Muslims can not get those apps, due to different countries, not every app is available in every country, i heard this from my friends and other people as well
so here is a good alternative for you guys :angel: :angel: :angel:
Here are some PDF's for you guys if you want to read the Holy Book Quran on your Phone or Tablet !!!
Its quite simple and fun, all the instructions that you have to take are the following:
1. Download the Quran file that suits you best from the bottom of this post on your phone or tablet
(if you can not download on your phone, download it on your PC or Mac and then transfer or email it to your phone)
2.After that, open it on your phone just by tapping the file
3.Select the Desired app you want it to open from
(if it does not open by tapping, it means you dont have any PDF viewer installed on your phone, simply go to the Play Store and download Adobe PDF reader or any other PDF reader application)
4.After you are done opening it, you should be able to see the first page of it, just sit back and enjoy reading it.
These are different and colorful options, so you will enjoy reading it :victory:
remember, you can use this on your Computer as well
hope you brothers and sisters appreciate it.
Thank you
to download a quran file,simply just head over to the following link :
http://pdfquran.com/en/

I'm just wondering... Does this belong in this section? Because from the description, it seems more like pdfs than any Android deving that was done here...

I use iQur'an since my 1st android device, but nice info bro ..

Thanks for reading

Bump :/

another bump..

Thanks a lot for everybody who visited the post.
I If you think it needs translation to other languages, please tell me so I begin the translation ; which would mainly include the app's interface along with the opened wikileaks page -though documents would stay in their original documents to preserve the information provided by the site -.

Hi, thanks for this! However, when using it on my z3c the content is squeezed to the right. Is there any way to get the mobile view?

charliebigpot
Thanks for telling me about the bug, there's a quick solution though, just press on "permanent link", you'll find it below the logo in the third box on the left, click it and it would open the browser of the phone automatically on the page your were at.
Though I'll fix the native app & update ASAP.

The bug was fixed & the app was updated ; the new version also includes a simple translation of the interface to Arabic language, based on the mobile's language.

Hello.
Please, if somebody can install this on S4 and try it ?
I already tired it on s3, s4 & xperia, it works perfectly on all those devices. Yet a review from a user reported that it doesn't work with s4 (even though I'm sure it does work).
Please, if you have enough time -and an S4 Samsung- try to download it & try.

Thanks a lot for testing it & replying ; Senascript

The app was updated (to version 2.5) to include the following :
1)A more enhanced layout in the main page.
2)Showing the full title of documents via clicking & holding any article in the list below the "next page-pre page" buttons.
The new version would be available for download in the play store soon after this post.

Bump ; and I added a small poll

Just making sure that the topic is dead :/

Bumping this topic again. Please only 2 downloads remain & the app reaches "50 downloads" ; download if you can and rate
