Hi,
Perhaps it's not my place (Being a newbie )but thought this forum could do with a dedicated thread for comments regarding what software works on the Monet/Lobby and how to load it in.
What software is crap and what software is spectacular.
And where to get it and is it FREE!
I'm sure that I and others will visit frequently for the latest views & opinions.
Just for starters here are some truly FREE ringtones.
Just need to give 'A' email address. Dont bother with Email just download and use 'back-Arrow' to get them all.
Enjoy.
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/domore/ringtones.mspx
My 'must have' apps
1. Sprite Backup Personal Edition (Version 5.2.0) - very handy for backup and restore of your Lobby. You can create self-extracting restore 'exe' files on your micro-SD card 'just in case'.
2. Tom Tom Mobile (Version 5.200 (4450)) - brilliant Sat Nav.
3. Automatic Keylock (v3.87) by Danny Baumann. The normal Windows keylock (pressing the Red Hang Up button) doesn't work that good for me. When someone calls you, I had the nasty habit of answering the call before I could see who it was, or even cutting many people off when taking the phone out of my pocket. This app gives you a screensaver that locks the keypad down a little better.
4. RealDice Mutliplayer Championship Poker (Version 4.24). Like playing Texas Hold'em? Why not play against other people over GPRS internet connection? I love this game. Even the AI in the single player is very good. The running costs (in terms of KB playing over the WAP/GPRS) isn't, surprisingly, that much.
5. Avantgo - Sync up all the latest news for your long commute to work.
6. Resco Smartpack - contains System Toys (battery / memory status), Photo Viewer, a more powerful Explorer application and a registry editor. I know that you can get some of these for free, but this pack is trouble free and very well written.
7. TCPMP (aka BetaPlayer) - One big drawback for me is that Windows Media Player doesn't allow you to easily Fast Foward through your movies or music when you are playing them. TCPMP can do this plus it is a fab media player, and there are many other codecs available to play non-Windows files too.
8. CellDoom - If you are as old as me and remember playing Doom on your old 386 then get yourself CellDoom. Dig out your old Doom WAD files and drain your battery playing this
9. Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook (Windows Mobile Edition 2.5 (Build: 1258)) - Wish you could text as fast as the Young Guns? If you've got Outlook and a Smartphone then get this. Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook allows you to send SMS from your PC (via ActiveSync / USB connection). It will sync up all your Sent, Received and draft texts (SMS messages) on your Outlook too. Excellent for quick, long and multiple recepient messages.
10. Breaksoft Mobile Registry Editor. A PC based application that allows even easier registry access to your Smartphone.
Some of the above applications are free, others you will need to purchase. All can be found via Google
Only the "Automatic Keylock (v3.87) by Danny Baumann" requires the Lobby to be unlocked.
Excellent start to this list ringp3ace.
will def be trying some of these out.
you didn't mention whether or not Lobby needs to be unlocked first though.

While you're there why not get the free golf game too? Download the landscape phone version though as this will run full screen on a QVGA smartphone.

Thanks.
Was in too much of a hurry to get some decent tunes and didn't notice that one.
Good game.
What are some of the applications that you use frequently and without them your life would simply stop to be...
For me the most frequent applications I can't do without are:
MS Voice Commander - Whenever on the road this one has saved my life countless times.
SBSH Pocket Weather with VGA Icons, Awesome options allow me to configure this little thing to auto-download live radar maps so I know whenever there is a storm approaching etc.
Without those above apps I would simply be lost.
What apps would you not be able to do without?
bublebreaker....
Unless there is a very recent update the last time I tried to install sbsh pocket weather on a 6.1 rom it did not install. Anyone else had that problem? I am sure however that this will be resolved shortly.

I have no problem running SBSH Pocket weather on any 6.1 rom. I have it on my Athena running the WM6.1 rom ( i believe the XIP of this rom is WM6 though) I also have it running on my Kaiser, currently running a dutty rom, but have had no other problems running several Kaiser 6.1 rom... DId have a few minor issues running SPB Weather on 6.1
I*e never used that program. Is it freeware? If so anyone have a link? I'm currently using Radar Watch 2, nothing fancy, but get\ the job done. Its free, google it.
Flexmail, the beta of version 4 is very nice
Memory-map use it at work
opera/opera mini/netfront
logmein
I am not too sure
but I think I will vote for logmein, this allows me to do remote access of my desktop so I can use all the usual softwares there.
realVGA, that's an absolute must.
I think I depend a lot on Pocket Informant 2008
Adobe PDF LE
Softmaker: Text and Plan
Weatherpanel is the next best thing as well. Where i live, the weather is very emotional....Its good have an app that is sensitive!
MemMaid worth every cent they charge for it!!
PocketXpdf http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/ is the best pdf viewer/reader and is freeware
PocketMind is great for organizing notes
Egress rss reader seems to be the most customizable

YEAH !! me too
wouldnt be the same without it :8
also LogMeIn, and realvga is a must.
but number one program for me, Mobipocket Ebook reader
Must haves
PhoneWeaver -> nessecary for switchig profiles automaticaly based on calender, time, etc.
Pocket Informant -> Pocket Outlook is unusable.
SPB Mobile shell 2.0 -> Easy way to use device and access your programs.
Cyberon -> for handsfree use of your little phone.
Memmaid -> for periodicaly cleaning up Microsofts mess in your phone.
QAN
I’ve Mobile Invoice in Athena, lately discovered only CooTek Cooperation TouchPal (VGA) works wonderful well together.
Pocket Informant save me the trouble to change from task to appointment and visa versa.
MemMaid and Spb Traveler, both are super aid to me.
Here is the list of apps I have installed and decided to share with those who are trying to make this phone useful.
I'd recommend having these as they improve experience

SipDroid
Nimbuzz
SPB TV
Sygic mobile maps 10 (runs well, including radar maps, but menu buttons are a bit hard to read as screen is smaller than its designed for, nevertheless, best navigation software for now)
K-9 Mail
Fancy Widget
Smooth Calendar
System Panel Lite
WiFi Manager
Total Recall (great to record calls)
aTAKEphONE (great replacement for built-in dialler)
Smart Keyboard Pro (full qwerty)

This is a operator problem. Here in Belgium, with my provider I cannot find paid apps and I can only find some free apps.
Now I have a HTC Hero for my work and if I put the card from that provider in my X10 mini pro I can find paid apps and all free ones as well.
So maybe a pre-paid card from another provider can help you.

This is not an operator issue.
The problem is in market settings on E10i.
We will solve it once we have the root, patch is available at this url :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645286
So for now solution is to copy files over to SD and install from there.

Please if you post in here do not just post saying that app is no good i think this one is better.
If you think that then tell us a bit about the app and a link to the app so we can all have a look, otherwise it will be pages and pages of wasted posts.

Bit embarrassed about this one as I tried it when I first got my streak and dismissed it far too quickly. its now my favorite app!
you know all those lovely books you grabbed in laputa? ** imagine reading them in either landscape or portrait with whatever layout you want. that's the start, then imagine sticking it in night mode and setting what colour you want the text to be. then decide you really want the backlight much darker than either Dell and lapses will let you go. slide your finger down the left edge if the screen.. genius!
Flick page left turns it, no fuss, no scrabbling around in the bottom corner trying to Flick the page.change the page animation speed, change pretty much everything..
**copy any epub book to /sdcard/ebooks/import and enjoy them in comfort

The apps I can't do without, and to be frank they've saved the streak for me
GOOGLE LISTEN automated download of subscriptions just add to your queue and listen, need to spend time finding good stuff to listen to but there's plenty out there. This week in google is always god for a laugh
ROCK PLAYER watching films on the streak is a must, currently the only app that doesn't need mass conversion of your film library
SWYPE keyboard is a must the stock keyboard was/is terrible, I spent ages correcting errors now I have a keyboard that I can tap or swype and get good results.
ENGADGET reads a dream on the streak
NEWS PRO THOMPSON REUTERS all types of news under one roof
That's it I'm afraid i expected more from such an open platform. I could do more with a jailbroken iphone than with android 1.6. I hope that will change soon.

RockPlayer - The ARMv7 version is the one for the Streak - Love this
I have just stumbled across this app that plays AVI files and as their are not many out their that do that i thought i put the link up
http://www.appbrain.com/app/sns.arcMedia.playerInterface.arm6
PS i havent tried it yet so if someone does please share it with us
interesting, the 1.6 firmware photo&video is by arcsoft media ...
obviously a coincidence of naming..
as this is based on FFMpeg I'd imagine it will be able to handle quite a few codecs eventually.
however looks like this specific version is compiled for arm6 processors, (the appbrain link name suggests it) so maybe a v7 version would be a bit better.
Barcode Scanner
One of those apps i would gladly pay for
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/shopping/barcode-scanner_clh.html

Quick question, what USB mode is your Streak in when transfer video files
from Amazon. I havnt got it to work yet?
Thanks!
psx4droid: bit limited on what works, but WRC Arcade version and Colin McRae Rally 2.0 (and i presume 1.0) work!!
Kindle is excellent on the Streak.
Don't understand why people aren't using the built in video player? Having said that, I'm using DVD conversions I did for my old X1 and that was a swine to convert for. h264 mpeg I think?
Copilot is superb, google maps with streetview and traffic layer is a godsend.
And, for anyone who has an OBDII compliant car, "Torque" is a great bit of software. You get a bluetooth OBDII adapter from ebay for around 25 quid and now you have diagnostics (including reading and clearing fault codes) for your car!! £2? The guy could charge £10 and it'd be well worth it!!
Being a photographer, "Photo Tools" is a very handy application
And for music, through bluetooth in my car, Mort Player is great - especially if you add the widget. It even responds to the steering wheel controls for next and previous track!

I launched Amazon Unbox player, connected the Streak, and selected Media files. After a minute or so, I was able to see the Streak, after refreshing the devices in Unbox. Good luck!!
Found a good clock widget for the Streak, the surround looks similar to the standard streak icon surrounds so it matches them pretty good.http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-davidgoemans-simpleclockwidget-zAtq.aspx
Weather forecast widget, only used this for a coupls of days, seems pretty accurate, battery use was good with 3% over 8 hrs (set to update every 6)

I have tested and it does work over wifi with the Streak. Still in alpha but it does have promise.
I downloaded Skype but for some reason it just freezes the streak. Im sure its skype. I know skype haven't releashed a Dell Streak Version. I installed system tools and my memory has gone upto 93%. even though I use task manager and also have 1.5gb free on internal.
I had to switch the screen off a few times to get the screen to respond to my touches sometimes had to restart (i've tried screen calibration) and when i finally got it to work went into settings --> application --> stopped skype and it works fine ... strange.. anyone else having the same problems?
Thanks
Hey,
I am creating this post because wherever I go, people have this misconception that the WinMo doesn't have apps, its not user friendly etc etc. From what I have seen in the forums ( hear hear ), I have found out that its one of the most customizable OS's out there. People say that Android has more apps, well you are not going to use all those right ? Blackberry has push blah blah. I will discuss the apps which are cutting all these platforms one by one ! These are the most essential ones, and i believe that these will be more than enough. Please add whatever you feel necessary.
Recently bought an HTC HD Mini phone. ( This is my first Smartphone btw ). After going through a lot of apps, apparently most of them are for VGA/QVGA screens.
Messaging
What Blackberry, Apple and Android promote is the concept of messaging. They have 1000's of apps for chatting etc. Palringo is one of the best messaging clients available there. Instead of downloading separate chat clients for all separate chats (like bb), better to download Palringo. You will say similar apps are there for bb n stuff, but thats the point right ? This post is for all those bb,android snobs u must have met after buying an HD Mini or HD2
Push Email
Oh, aren't those BB people charging that much money just for enterprise push email ?? And haven't you spent a fortune looking for a perfect push email solution ?? And most of winmo phones provide one sync accounts. Is this your problem ?? Well Emoze Pro which btw is free, lets you push-manage n-number of email accounts ( in my case, n=5) and its real time push. You can add n office accounts also, with OWA ( Outlook Web Access ) and Google Apps. Isn't it amazing ? The BB just got a kick in the nuts .
Interface
Well, now that we have beaten the #%$ out of the bb people with those 2 nifty apps , lets take a go at the android people. And this will be useful for those who have used sense ( there are mods for getting sense on your older phones but not sure) or some other awesome interface. Sense in my opinion is byfar the best interface available ( on my HD Mini atleast n same in HD2 with liveweather ), but if you get bored of it then obviously you have got SPB Mobile Shell.. You have to use it to experience it and I am sure you agree And how can you forget the beautiful S2P player and S2U2 utility with their beautiful sync and caller ID !! Must haves !!
Other Useful apps include :
FIM ( Facebook Instant Messenger )
Shazam
IM Plus
Premier League Pocket 10
Coreplayer
Please update more apps for the devices. I know these apps are more than enough for me ! But if you can post more I will add them !
GO WINMO !

-G Quickswitch, it changes automatically your profiles when you need it, very useful for me coz i change between normal and vibration all day
