Dear Windows Mobile user,
if you are a little savvy with your device, we would like to invite you to test our software.
Basicly, our software let's you upload your GPS position in real-time, to a server.
On the server, we offer many different maps like Google Earth, Google Maps, Virtual Earth, Mappoint, Mapquest, Yahoo!! etc..
You can also upload pictures and video's and audio from where you are at the moment, we will put the content on the maps, at the exact location that you posted it.
There's many more features like geo-fencing and free i-SMS (1600 characters)
If you want to help, visit http://geocool.reperion.com and create your account there.
Then, download the software from http://www.reperion.com/newclient
ATTENTION : beta version for INTERNAL GPS attached to this post. Don't forget to set your report distance to 15 to 60, anything above 2000 will be distance, anything below, secionds.
Please your comments
I wanted to start a thread where Legend users could post there views of the best apps for the Legend.
apps is personal, there are no rights and wrongs, just taste.
- No lock ,
Tired of the lock screen?
If you want to use your phone as quickly as possible, this app is for you.
It simply disables the lock screen. Press the unlock/menu button just once and the screen turns on immediately.
- Layer ,
augmented reality really cool
- Google Maps Navigation ,
great GPS app .
- Appbrain App,
Appbrain is one stop Android store for all the apps that you might ever need. With this website users can easily browse Android apps based on categories and user ratings. Users can also download the AppBrain app to easily sync applications
right from any web browser.
- Shazam ,
With Shazam you can identify music tracks, store them, and buy them; plus you can learn more about the artist and connect to their MySpace page.
- Advanced task killer free
This app is very useful, I would even recommend for new users who have no clue why their Android phone may be sluggish.
- SuperGENS Lite ,
Fun for playing old super Nintendo games
- xda app
please post and share your knowledge and experience with others
My Tracks - GPS track recorder / uploader
RMaps - nice Google Maps alternative (with support for alternative map sources, compass rotation etc.)

I've had my Legend for only 2 days, here is what I use:
-ScoreMobile (sports scores and news)
-3G Watchdog (monitors my monthly data usage)
-1337pwn (xbox live friends list)
-Advanced Task Killer (kills open apps)
-DoggCatcher (solid podcast app)
-Note Everything (quick notes)
-AudioManager Pro (volume adjustment)
-Handcent SMS (SMS & MMS app)
-WiFi Manager
-Barcode Scanner
That's all for now.
here are a few of mine
Google Listen
Astro file manager
Retro Clock
Handcent
Keepassdroid
Google Maps Brut
auto lock, lets you choose a time frame in which your Legend won't ask for the security pattern when unlocking...
Here's some of mine that I've used on my G1, Hero and now Legend:
AnyCut - Allows you to alter labels of Icons on the home screen.
Astrid Tasks - A little "To Do" list manager, handy to remember things.
ASTRO - File manager, easy enough right?
eBuddy - Stable and what I've found to be the best MSN client.
engadget - Although I live in the UK, I like the tech feeds from it.
FxCamera - Camera emulator/FX which I mainly use for its Fisheye mode.
Jewels - This is just an addictive, simple game.
MySettings - More of a widget to change most common settings easily at the touch of a button instead of racing into the settings menu everytime.
No Lock - An app to disable the lock screen, so you can unlock without having to hit the power button everytime. Only just got this so might not keep it
Robo Defense - Free or Full, this is addictive if you've ever heard of tower defense.
Shazam - Names music through sound tagging if you don't know the name!
Sky News - Handy for looking at news on the go.
Task Manager (Green Android Icon, holding red X) - I prefer this to all other Task programs, has a really nice neat widget and clear UI.
UK National Rail Train Departures - Downloadable only off the net from the National Rail site or somewhere, but so handy for checking train times etc.
WikiMobile - Wikipedia on the go, simples.
XDA - Duh?
p.s. This should be pinned either here on in the apps section of the forum possibly?
I am coming over from blandroid and unfortunately have a lot of time invested in google services. I know of a few alternatives to google products but there are a few I need help with:
Google Music: free cloud music storage
Google Navigation
Google Translate
Thanks in advance for your help
zune, skydrive, bing maps (and a bunch of good turn by turn stuff in the market)
not sure aobut translate.. but, like on andriod, find an app in the market
Unfortunately Navigation doesn't really have a good substitute. There are some paid turn by turn navigation, but they use local maps instead of always having the latest data straight from Google. The bonus is you get to use them offline, though these were available on Android, too.
Google Talk also doesn't seem to have a good substitute. GChat is alright. It takes a bit of time to start up and sometimes doesn't connect.
Microsoft needs to rethink their stance on multi-tasking. Maybe manually giving applications permission to multi-task. They also need to let developers make plugins for the messaging application to integrate other messaging services.
Overall I'm happy with my Venue Pro, but I won't be selling my Android phone.
If you have a developer phone, check out waze (you can find it in the developer forums here)
You can go for the real thing (sort of),
Google Music - Go to browser. You can actually play songs from Google Music. A bit limited, but whatever.
Google Navigation - gMaps although I am not sure that it has turn-by-turn, it is Google Maps though.
Goolge Translate - Translator Pro. Uses Google Translator's API so should work the same.
For alternatives,
Google Music - Zune Pass is a pretty good thing if you want streaming music, Rdio got updated to Mango to support background streaming. I'm personally waiting for Spotify because my whole music collection is on it (I local filed the songs that weren't in Spotify's database).
Google Navigation - Maps (which is built in), haven't used it, but I heard that it is iffy. If you have the money, go with Garmin. If you have the time, wait until Nokia Maps comes out (not sure if it is restricted to Nokia phones, but I heard that they will build apps for other OEMs).
Google Translate - The real alternative is Bing Translate, but honestly, you can just go into the marketplace and type in translator.
Hope that's helpful!
Once again, the XDA community proves to be the most helpful. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I do like the Zune pass idea but my wife will make me choose between Zune pass and Netflix. The joys of marrying an teacher; never lets me have all the toys I want. Thanks again.
Hi, I have released a new app on Play Store called WhereSleepsMyCar to allow you to save the location of your car automatically, so to always know where it’s parked. The app, using the innovative Google API, can handle the parking lots without there being any need to remember to manually save the location every time you go down from the car.
In addition WSMC can be integrate with the Bluetooth of the car (if available) to get a parking lot location even more timely and accurate.
The app is on the Play Store in free version (with advertising) or at the cost of 1 Eur (ad free and with additional functions).
If you are interested or just curious here's the link to the free version on Play Store and the G+ page of the app.
Suggestions to improve the app and add new features are of course welcome.
APP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dimapp.wsmc.lite
G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/114974454484375476150/posts
WSMC 1.2
WSMC 1.2 is out!!!
Changelog 1.2
- possibility to choose between map view and satellite view;
- added in parking lots page the additional functions “add note” - “add photo” - “share position”;
- added the address of the parking lot (full version only);
- added the possibility to show your location directly from the app (full version only);
- minor bugs fixed.
Which apps use on your devices?
Authenticator (think Google Authenticator)
bart mobile (when in the Bay Area)
Fiction Book Reader (for DRM-free ebooks; I've tried a few others too such as Point Reader which is different and cool)
Flashlight (does what the name implies...)
Here Drive/Transit/Maps (of course, although Here Drive pisses me off quite badly at times)
IM+ (for GTalk, Yahoo Messenger, and AIM contacts)
LinkedIn (mostly for answering messages / network requests)
Lync 2013 (for work)
Mango Transit (basically acts like the built-in Maps app but adds the ability to get directions via transit instead of only driving or walking)
MTGBugs NEXT (helpful app for Magic: the Gathering players)
My Account (T-Mobile US carrier account info app)
Netflix
OneBusAway (somewhat regional but very helpful)
oPenGP (PGP/GPG client; not great but does the job)
OverDrive (for getting e-books and e-audiobooks from the library)
Pandora (not a lot, since I have a Zune / Xbox Music pass, but sometimes)
RemoteDesktop (works fantastically)
Skype (of course)
Speedtest.net (just like the website, basically)
The SSH Client (also works great, and yes I use both RDP and SSH servers)
WTA Trailblazer (only useful if you happen to live in Washington, or want to do hikes here, but I do...)
Yelp
This is a pretty partial list - just the stuff that I use *regularly* - and excludes the following categories of apps:
Games (lots of those)
Built-in apps (I don't use all of them, but I use a lot of them)
Homebrew apps (given what I do here, this should be obvious)
#mowithlove (for giving mustache to pics)
advanced english dictionary
CamScanner (very useful app)
Flashlight XT
LazyLens(For pics effects)
Nokia smart camera
Moliplayer Pro(watching Movies)
myAppfree (daily one free app)
Nokia Mix radios
Nokia cinemagraph(Animated photoes)
Youtube HD
Lockmix (i love this app)
Most of the Nokia apps, Bing news & weather, Netflix, mytube, Hulu plus, flashlight x, swipe tunes, various games, Skype, instagram beta, tumblr, pininterest, vba8, snes8, imdb, mediafire, PayPal, Pandora, tapatalk, chronos, contacts, battery meter and baconit. Some others too

I've got a number of apps that I've installed but only so many I actually use...
Remoting into other computers:
TeamViewer - for when RDP doesn't want to cooperate.
ConnectMe - RDP client, kinda works...NetBIOS names seem to break on WP8.
Music&Video:
onePlayer - a decent DLNA app that kinda works (its really a WP7 app, Nokia's PlayTo does the opposite of what I want; I loved HTC's Connected Music app for WP7)
ModPhone7 - Plays tracker music (MODs, XMs, ITs, S3Ms)
WOMP - Also plays tracker music, it was the first in the store to actually work.
Sat Rad Player - An app that plays the streams from SiriusXM. Its no longer in the store AFAIK...
MPAtool - used to be homebrew for WP7, but its officially a legitamate app now. It mostly adds images from last.fm, but does a basic google image search too...
Games:
Tiny Death Star - A freemium game thats actually playable without throwing real money at it.
VGBC/VGBA/SNES8X/EmiGens/EmiPSX - Emulators that I use to kill time in public. Sometimes I wish they made a shell-like moga controller (I don't actually use these too often where I'd want to purchase one, but not all of these have support for it either...)
Internet Stuff:
UCBrowser - A "private" browser that has previously had a homebrew version for WP7. Also works for downloading stuff that IE wouldn't download.
Amazing Weather HD - Nice live tile.... Thats about it. I solely use this to check the weather. (Radar is meh in all weather apps in the store.)
SysApp Pusher - A must have for checking updates and installing apps for other OEMs.
Skype - I occasionally chat with other xda members using this, but it doesn't always work in the background.
Zinio - I have a few magazines I read using their service. Namely PCMag....
MetroTube - Some might actually object to this, but it just has always worked for me. I also had this on WP7 a year ago. I download some youtube videos using this, but I'd wish it had a transfer to music+videos option to watch it on something else or to download them to the PC.
Gasbuddy - I used to try and report gas prices to help others, but since I'm the one who does most of the driving... its not very useful unless I need to find gas in the first place.
Windows Phone Central - This is kinda the only news I read anymore. Politics and regional news is the same stuff month after month.
Tapatalk - I post here using it when I need to just do a quick update on what I'm doing or if I can actually help someone.
facebook beta - Its facebook... what more can I say about it?
wptorrent pro - a torrent app that plays movies and stuff...it shares the files to the local network via a web-server.
Lockscreen background:
Lock Manager - a visually appealing lockscreen that I can live with that has the weather in a format that doesn't take too much of the lockscreen image away.
glance background - added a monochrome version of Master Chief (John) from Halo and set it too look like it was on 8bit device
Mapping/GPS Stuff
HERE Drive+ - Annoying as h***, I use it mainly for my current part-time job and I'm beginning to feel extreme hate for it. The fact it mutes the audio when it announces things is the first annoyance instead of pausing the music or just ducking behind the music volume while announcing the directions. The second annoyance is that it doesn't announce the address right before I destinate. (at least after the last update it shows the hose number instead of just the street name.) Also, it doesn't always have the most accurate maps, its 3 years outdated in my region, so roads have been renamed and other roads have been outright closed. When not actually not on the road it tends to snap you to the road, so you could be in a parking garage where it snaps you to a road when you are actually on a different one. This app fully assumes that you are still heading the "proper" directions until it recalculates in ~5-10 seconds. All of this just makes me wish the Garmin app wasn't so darned expensive.
gMaps - I use this when Nokia Drive/Bing Maps/anything that uses the OS's maps are out of date and need to get to a missing street.
GPS Voice Navigation - I've dabbled with this a bit enough to say its nice to use, but requires data; navigating around the app isn't as straight forward as it should be.
Developer Apps:
TimeMe - a clock tile with the date, battery percentage and the current weather (just temp and status e.g. cloudy image and temp)
Native Toast Launcher - Used for launching hidden pages inside any app.
US MO Apps - for whenever I can get Fiddler to work right again...
