Yeah the size of pocketplus along with the fact it seemed to slow my universal down.

Re games:

Gamebox Solitaire my favourite, but also have:

Also have Age of Empires
Concentrix (Like Tetris but with circles)
G-Prime (Like Galaxian)
Invasion (Like Space Invaders)
Jewel Hunter (Like Boulderdash)
Personality Pro ( Asks loads of question to reveal your type of personality)
Pocket Sudoku
Shanghai (Mahjongg)
SimCity 2000
SkyForce (ShMUp)
Tower Mogul (Manage an apartment block)
Transport Tycoon Deluxe (Doesnt quite work yet - waiting for the next update)
Warring Nations VGA
Zuma

Have Licences for (But dont work with WM5 or universal):

Candy Train (Puzzle game of turning sections of railroad)
Cropped Out (Match three or more the same to remove shapes)
G-Pod (Collect a pod and traverse caverns to escape with it)(No button remapping - impossible to play)
Odyssey (ShMUp)
Rayman Ultimate (No Button remapping - Gutted as not playable)

[slaughter]

here's mine:

1.Wisbar advance(i like the look)
2.ILauncher (smaller than pocketplus + other featus covered by other programs)
3.pocket breeze ( i can see my appointments and task on the today sceen plus i can add other today utilities)
4.Weather panel (i like the look )
5. gprs monitor
i installed all the above to the extended rom (thanks to buzz)
6.TCPMP
7.Cash Organizer
8.opera (better than pie, builtin tabbed browinsing and better webpage view. could use a little speed upgrade though, and the ability to scroll using stylus and be able to save images.)
9.pocket rar(cant live without it ;)
10. flexi mail formerly webis mail
11. scicalc (standard calculator replacement)
12. total commander

games (i don't have much)
1.arvale 2 & 1 (rpg)
2.hexacto tennis
3.text twist

[jab1a]

well it seems like im the only one putting up with pocket plus, i will have to do a full backup and hard reset and try and install the programs you are all using instead of pocket Plus features.

Opera- i have been interested in using this as i think PIE is very feature-less, but i have been worried about the size of the install, do you know how much resouces it takes up installing and running?

[allenf]

1) Pocket Informant - superb
2) Batti - does what it's supposed to do

OT slightly, is there a general consensus on the best Alarm Clock (pref with maximise to full screen option/screen buttons) for the Exec?

Thx.

[stanip]

Here is my list.

VJToggleTodayII alpha0.1.5 (to hide top & bottom bar for real estate for today screen).
PWSLauncher (to see power & ram status without wasting any space)
HandySwitcher (closing task)
HandyMenu (easy access of utilities like reset, today..etc)
filedlgchgs (to allow save/open to folders 2 or 3 levels down)
Caldendar + (calendar plug-in)
Tasks+ Today plug-in (plug-in)
Oxios (to free memory)
Birthdays (to remind important dates)

[slaughter]

Jab1a,

I don't know how much memory opera consumes but i think it depends on the website. the merrier the web site the more it consumes memory (i think :) ).

[jab1a]

ok Slaughter, thats good enough for me, i will try it out when i get a chance.

Im still looking for a game that can realy show off the ability of our Universal?

[Lordsmiff]

I used to have Batti on but I found my exec crashed every night while it was on charge (I've got the latest exec ROM on which to be honest, I find pretty unstable)

The main thing I would miss about pocket plus would be the close button menu thing - I've got it set so I can tap and hold on a close button a bring up a menu of what's running.

I know magic button does this but it screws up the display slighly and\or uses non-VGA graphics which I don't like.

Is there a way around this as I also find pocket plus to be a bit bloaty and slow...

[matt1971]

Hi,

Not sure what you mean by screws the display?

I use magic button, but dont show the task bar (the program icons) unless needing to switch apps quickly - and havent had any issues.


Matt

[cktlcmd]

I believe what LordSmith meant was Magic Button shows a small blank square on the right upper corner where the "x" or close botton appears when you open an application, if you have for example a gray colored menu bar or task bar. My solution for this is just simply stay away from the gray color and use sky blue or the default windows blue color. Aside from that Magic Button is great and shows all my running apps nicely.

Changed Home-page web hardware button site
WM05 newbutton.cab

what is the cab 4?

[NYPD]

No wonder most of guys in here think their JJ is slow!!!! :wink:

All i use for day2day use is SPB, and i think it is too much though.

I use PIE, Email, Sync, Excel, WinWord, Tasks, Calendar,
Basically all the available options, and i don't (IMHO) think i need all these extra stuff.


just my 2 cents

[jab1a]

...
Changed Home-page web hardware button site
WM05 newbutton.cab

Well CHfish, the last cab file is a cool option that changes the left software button on the bottom left of your screen to what ever menu button you want, ive changed mine to "quick menu" and put things like 'new sms''new mms''new contact' etc, well usful

what does the app VibratePhoneKeys.cab do?

[jab1a]

vibratephonekey is a little mod that make the phone vibrate every time you type a number into the phone pad, only when your in the phone function, its good because its a clear way of letting you know you have actuly pressed the button, there is also the option to turn it back.
these .cab files are all from this site, i think they are in a thread called "universal hacks" or something

[allanmb]

Here is a list of my software:
Utils/Apps:
Engineering Calculator
MS Remote Control Display with VGA hack
NetFront (Web browser)
Notepad (for making text files anywhere)
PHM RegEdit (for editing registry)
Pocket Fractal (for fun)
TomTom (for SatNav)
Wordbook (for crosswords)
XCPUScalar (for saving battery life)
My own messenger program

Games:
Bejeweled 2
MS Arcade/Games Packs
Bust'Em 2
SPB Freecell
Mastersoft Sudoku
MorphGear
Virtual Pool Mobile
Worms (doesnt fully work?)

Allan

[gquipster]

Stupid question (for which I'll probably receive a stupid answer) where do you get Worms and Age of Empires for the Universal from? Do they work in VGA or QVGA?

Sorry for the stupid question!
