Best utilities and programs to use

Hey all,
Can anyone refer me to previous posts where people were posting what they thought were the best and useful programs used on their imates/xdaIIs? I remember reading some and now can't find them using search. Or if anyone would like to add their 2cents.
thanks in advance.

My favs (and not all of them are stuff you have to pay for either) are:
Pocket Plus 2.0
WeatherPanel
KitaraGenesis
JournalBar (kinda)
SPB GPRS Monitor
RealOne Player (great for Simpsons episodes!)
Some of the JGUI stuff is good too though I have limited space on my today screen thanks to the above!

This is what I have...
PocketZenPhone 3.6.2
Pocket Informant 5
SPB Pocket Plus 2.0
SPB Full Screen Keyboard 2.0
Microsoft Voice Command 1.01
Resco File Explorer 2003
eWallet 3.1
Sprite Pocket Backup Plus 3.0
Dictionary-to-go
Intellsync 5.3
EzWap 2.5
Ummmm, I think that's all I use! :shock:

I find the following apps very useful:
Worldmate 2004 Pro
SPB Pocket Plus 2.0
SPB Full Screen Keyboard 2.0
Super Cleaner
Calendar Plus
Storage Tools
Real One Player
Agile Messenger

pocket mechanics is also pretty nice and somewhat an alternativ to storage tools but it benchmarks aswell and have the possiblity for you to compare your sd card speed with other cards and other devices using the same card as you

Caligrapher
Pocket Informant

These are the Utilities and Applications that I have kept.
Since I only have a device with 32 MB RAM I have to be selective in what I choose to load and keep, so here they are:
PocketZenPhone 3.6.2 (Okay, has no frills, but small in size and it works well)
Agenda Fusion (Had informant but didn't really care for the way it was setup)
SPB GPRS Utility Monitor
Grundle File Explorer 2003
AirScanner Mobile Anti-Virus
Weis Soft Fast Drive Cleanup
Applian Virtual Wallet (Great to keep all you CC and ID info)
Applian Picture Perfect (Great for keep digital albums on your device)
Applian Cool Clock (Great Alarm Clock with LARGE LED Display)
Applian Pocket Status (Only to see free space on my SD Card and Internal Memory)
Macromedia Flash Player
PHM Task Manager
PHM Registry Editor
Pocket Workout Journal by Bigman Software (Great to track your workouts and chart your progress)
SBSH.net Pocketweather (Great to keep track of weather in 5 different locations)

You can also take a look at this thread where some of us have previously listed our apps including top 10's.

What version of WEBIS Mail? I tired V2.22 Beta and keep getting exception errors when I try to run it.
Thanks

The list of Software here is from a different site . short cut to that site is on the bottom of the list.
If the version is not there, then am sorry but i dont know myself. i can only guess the latest version of the program may work.
I personally have not test them but have installed over 6 in the list and they work ok. one thing i have noticed is when some programs come to uninstalling they dont get completly removed, i have hade to brouse to there directiry and remove that and the short cuts myself. then using pocket mechanic to remove and registry problems or missing short cuts.
If you find any of them not working or causing problem then feel free to update us with you findings.
the list is a rough guide to apps on windows mobile 5 tested by someone. but not 100% garanteed to work on the wizard.
hope this helps

WEBIS Mail V2.22 works just be sure if you select not to keep the msgs in local folders that you select the data directory in main memory and NOT Storage Card, otherwise it will crash.
:roll:

There's a site here: http://www.wm5fixsite.com/
..attempting to consolidate all of this information in an organized manner.
Are all your findings already there?

Handyswitcher ignore list
Somehow i cannot add programs to the ignore list in handy switcher. I have found the corresponding registry key, but nothing i enter shows up in the program.
I would like to add the phone application to the ignore list, since it cannot/shouldnot be closed.
Anyone who knows the correct syntax (or got it working another way?)

Ask the above user about the programs they have installed

How do these ones work?
spb weather, is it accurate? does it have canadian cities as well?
spb backup, is it easy to restore? have you used it to save your atom from a hard reset before?
opera 8.6, how is it better than the normal explorer anyways?

Yes, it has Canadian cities. Is a very good software, but I prefer WorldMate Pro.

This the best backup soft I tried, easy and great. The full restore is perfect, no problem.

Must have apps?

I'm new to the windows mobile world but I'm loving my 8525. After a few days of reading I successfully upgraded to vp3g WM6 rom.
Now I'm wondering what are some of the must have apps that I should install?

Must have APPS )for me at least( .. Wisbar Advanced, Pocketbreeze, Phonealarm, PocketRSS, Madden 2006, Call of Duty 2.. Weatherpanel, Virtual Pool.. um .. yeah thats pretty much all I need..

Great choice, I have the vp3g 2.0 on my 8525 as well.
Currently I'm running (must have):
New Kaiser HTC Home Plugin
IM+ (for aim and google talk)
Opera browser
Resco Explorer
SPB Backup
Other junk:
SBSH Weather (not sure if its my favorite or not)
Slide2Unlock (dont know why I installed it)
Tweaks:
shogun cingy threaded sms hack (threaded sms conversation like on treo)

I need all these:

Got a link? did a search with no results.

My favourites are - Opera Browser, SPB Insight, SPB Diary, SPB Mobile Shell, SPB Backup, 1-Calc, Monopoly, Scabble, Microsoft Reader, TomTom 6, Google Maps, PHM RegEdit and Snails. Hope this long list helps.

If you like adding software - the first thing above all else to get is a full backup application. I use SPB backup but there are others. It will save you from having a miserable time when you have to do a hard reset (which you will at some point!)
Mike

I have been through alot of programs, and the one I can seem to live without is SPB Phone Suite. I find with the last 3 roms I have tried from here, this seems to work on all of them. And that makes me very happy.
I lke SPB Mobile Shell too. 23 years of being a jet aircraft mechanic, my fingers aren't what they used to be.
For IM try Octro
Others are The Core Pocket Mobile Player, MobiBlgr, Pocket Mechanic, and Nine Hole Golf.
I am still working on mixing and matching, but these I use the most.
I did alot of searching around and have a good compilation of programs. I had a Toshiba E740 when I was stationed in Japan, and I still have a few cool things from that stuuf I would like to find new versions of for my 8525.

Must apps and games.

Hey.
Can some one that has have the phone for a while right down the ( Must )
apps and games plis ? it would be realy nice

I don't have it yet, but on a Dutch forum someone posted a list of usefull programs (in his opinion). I'll copy it. All credits to: dafmay!

this battery app or Batti 2.4
is also very nice

Oh, and some things that I want to test directly when I get my phone (I collected these items from the internet, ofcourse trials since you need to pay for some ):
Ballzor
Caver
DiamondBeer
G-Flow
GravityBalls
G-Remote
iGo
Resco Bubbles
Tux Racer
Spb Software, look at their site

any software by ageye i would say is a must. Coreplayer, definately if you have this phone it would be extremely useful.

Free CIV
FreeCiv looks fantastic, but even after compiling the source, does not seem to work with htc diamond 2 and windows mobile 6.1. If it did work would be a great game.
