your most used applications!!!... for the Wizard

[GTASouthPark]

I am wondering what apps/games you really really reccomend that are essential. Like an essential Today launcher is iLauncher, an essential application is voice command, and an essential game is marble worlds.

just list them, i really need to know. thanks.

- Batti. Get a good look at the battery status in the wizard. [freeware]
- Birthday. Get ur contacts birthdays in today screen with age etc. [freeware]
- SPB ToPlay. Play WMP playlist from today screen. very simple apps. too bad doesn't support shuffle option. [shareware?]
- TCPMP. Divx player for windows mobile. [freeware]
- InClose Mobile. Best task manager I've seen to date. Switch to tasks. Close All, Turn off screen (cool for listining to music), landscape switch without sliding open keyboard. and other features. [freeware]
- E-TEN Dialer Vista skin. Cool dialer skin apps (unfortunately only English compatible and u lose smardial if u use it. [freeware]
- BatteryStatus. Overclocking the wizard in one simple touch, also continues overclocking. [freeware]

Most of the software can be found via Google or search the forum.

Cheers,

Shah

I use a few, but the must have's for me are;

Opera - PIE just can't handle java script as well and it has faster page rendering and tabs.

TomTom - The best GPS software.

Conduits Pocket Player - The best MP3 player, gapless playback, streaming, great format support and plugins. I dont think there is a better music player for WM5.

TCPMP - The best video player but dont use it much now i have a PSP.

iLauncher - Today program launcher. The MDA does not have the resolution or screen real estate for the clutter other today plugins make IMO. I only use it to launch TomTom, Pocket Player and Memory Map when i am driving.

inClose - Like magic button, but better, more options and has never crashed like MB always did for me.

Resco Explorer - The best file management app by far. If you own a WM5 device, it should be illegal to not have it.

Memmaid - Cleans up temp files, caches and registry. Not without it's fault, but there is nothing else that can really do what it does as far as i know.

Voice Command - Great for voice activation but when the hell are they going to update it for bluetooth and reading text/emails?

[GTASouthPark]

here are mine

iLauncher - Today launcher
PocketBreeze - Today launcher
Voice Command - Voice activation?
Magic Button - Closes applications (freeware)
Marble Worlds - Great Game (similar to marble maddness on NES)
Virtual Pool Mobile - Pool hustling simulater
OmapClock - overclocking
Pope Battery Status - displays battery status at top (made by somebody in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21699&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25
(except it does have 2 problems, you can't turn it off without uninstalling it, and it shows up on every page, not just the today screen... bad during movies).

On the HS850, the gateway closes if you push the button. But pushing the button again reopens it. So it just takes two pushes to activate VC--one to open the gateway and one for VC. It's usable on the Motorola.

If you use latest version of WM5Newmenu (version 2.0.0 beta) happened to me the same but solution is easy..
Create a shortcut like this in which folder you like

\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -To ""

Don't forget the quotation marks and create a new menu Item and point the shourtcut you have created. And If you just want to check mail in the background (won't popup the email client screen) shourtcut is like this

\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "YOURACCOUNTNAME" -Sync

:wink:

[Scottland]

Thats great, thanks for that. I used the paramaters option in Newmenu rather than create a lnk file, but it still works fine.

Much appreciated. :)

[fordcan]

Glad to help you , sure it works without a shortcut but I am used to create a shortcut for to use as a today item too. :wink:

links to setup files that can be run while PPC is connected to computer via activesync. As far as I know, this is the only way to install Voice Command. There is no cab.

Voice command...hmmmm. I don't see where any voice command programs are needed. I activate my programs by my recorded voice straight from my 8125. After apps are installed, I simply go to start/settings/personal tap/ voice speed dial/click applications tab at bottom/ highlight app name in list/tap voice tag/ say the name of the app into the microphone/ Voila DONE. Now to activate, push the record button(upper right side of device) only once, say the name of the app I want, and the app opens. I can even activate URLs, like mail, finances, etc. by my own voice. I also have memory for apps I could use.

having problems getting this program to run, any hints?
I'm running the TNT WM6 Rom on my wizard, and installed the latest
flashplayer, but the program just starts, and closes just as fast.
