Zetex
well it depends on how you use it
but on my own i find some usefull apps thant u cant miss
1. SPB pocket plus 2 (close button, today plug ing ...)
2. SPB trafic counter (connec/ disconnect from gprs and count the bits like an analytic tool)
(http://www.spbsoft.com).
3. PhonExt (http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl/)
for every kind of use these are 3 unmissable tools for the XDA everyday use
the i use My|phone to display SMS and last call on the today screen (not really usefull but smart)
i also changed the PIM applications by enhanced one with pocket informant 5.2 and the PIToday plugin
have fun

Which version oc Co-Pilot are you using on the Athena? How does it compare to TomTom?
As little as possible!
I try to run a new ROM on its own until I find myself wishing I had a specific piece of software. I often end up with a nasty pile of software by the time a new ROM appears, and it nice to see which I really need and which are just cluttering up the system. With so much space on the Micro Drive and the mini SD, I don't question whether or not to try something new the way I had to before I had my Advantage.
putty and opera 9.6 build 405 (there are newer but i cant release those at this time) are in the platinum(full) rom already. google maps and live search are also in the rom. wmwifirouter would be in if it wasnt for the going commercial thing. the htc rss reader is in there also. we have a new irc client in there(zsirc). total commander is in there. and a few other things.

Yes there is some really interesting potential with vueflo.. ever pitched this idea to A_C?
I could redo the graphics in VGA for our devices if you want to start a side project after AP4.0... Hell, I'll probably end up doing the graphics anyways... I'll post them on this forum when I get around to it.
Here's my list:
Pocket Informant
Resco Explorer
Phatware PhatPad
Egress RSS reader (I think the most customizable of all rss readers and it allows you to cache entire articles)
SKTools
PocketBreeze
PocketWeather

PocketXPdf (absolutely best pdf reader-freeware)

EsmertecJbed midlet (full screen)
Opera Mini
Gmail midlet
Voipbuster java (for connecting two conventional phones over internet)
Softmaker for powerpoint
The last beta of softmaker is really great for edit ppt on the pda, without any conversation. The problem is it eats a lot of memory. Should be great if the famous and more desired rom ap 4 works better with it.
for me the last program still maintaining me using a pc is powerpoint, rest of the things are fine on the athena.

the photo stuff u might be able to ditch. htc album takes a bit to load on the athena bc of the vga but its a pleasure to use.

pawel can you let me know what you want on the welcomeheads if you do want some others, I may have some time this afternoon to play with some ideas
Hi dear devs, chefs and all know what their doing
Is there a way we could see an app that could transform your HTC HD2 (or other winmo phone) into a remote controll for some of the PC apps (winamp/mdia players/ im's, others).
I'd love to be able to change the movie or shutdown my PC through my phone.
Thanks for letting me know your thoughts!
zonescreen do that, but impossible to run it on HD2 with seven. If you use XP it could be ok for you.
Also Salling Clicker and GRemote Pro - google it.
GRemote is good. There's this for Windows Media Center too.
If you can get Windows Sideshow to work it could do what you need.
I have a simple question...Is the firefox on the webtop a full experience as pc? For example some flash games like Farmville won't work on an android phone in browser, but will they work on webtop firefox? It is not like this game is important for me it is an example came to my mind to compare.
So far it seems pretty close. Although you cannot stream Netflix and I didn't try the game you mentioned. I have used it stream Hulu (but full screen even on fast wifi is a little bit choppy). I can use the Citrix plug in to pull up my Windows XP desktop and access programs from work. (pretty wild to be pulling up an XP desktop on the tv from the phone).
HDMI really needs the 1080 badly....720 doesn't cut it for reports and the like..
Still, for me, it isn't a pc or notebook replacement. If I am travelling and don't want to bring a pc I can bring the Motorola keyboard and Verbatim BT mouse and it will do in a pinch (assuming I have wifi).
imho
To answer the OP's question: Yes. It is a full Firefox browser install, like it would be on any linux-based computer. The same limitations that exist for standard linux desktops with Firefox apply to the webtop as well (no Silverlight so no Netflix, no Windows Media Player, etc). But the flash plugin is there, and works fine with Hulu, flash-based games, Youtube, etc.
I tried to play minecraft on webtop firefox, but then found out that Java wasn't installed. Can I actually install java?
firfox browser addons
does it support plugins like divx web player... or veetle plugin...
Unfortunately there is no java plugin, and I could not get the latest Oracle embedded jre to work with it (even though it shows up in about: plugins). Any plugins that work with Firefox on linux should work in the webtop, provided the plugins can run on an ARM platform.
remix os is great for some productivity stuff but since i have tried it for a week but no way around it plays videos on youtube or anyother streaming app or site so lets assume that this is a bug and i hope devlopers at jide will try to remove it in upcoming update. but until then if you want to play some video offline you can use vlc android app and it works fine on remix.

Having this problem too, and from what I've seen in the forums alot of people are facing it as well.
As a temporary solution, try BSPlayer. It's the only video playing app I tried that works at the moment. A bit clunky but functional.
Hopefully this will be fixed with the the coming updates =)
EDIT: I tried VLC player, but for some reason it crashes the entire OS for me xD
its to do with the graphics...my system can play full HD videos and 3D games like CSR2
try this....it might help:

I can confirm that on my Intel Core i3 with integrated hd 2000 YouTube works fine, video playback is fine, but on my older 24inch msi ae2400 that has an Amd 4670 mobile gpu video playback doesn't work and YouTube doesn't work. So i think its to do with the Amd video drivers, not sure if NVIDIA cards have a better driver, but intel gpu's seem ok
Youtube videos stream when I request the desktop version of the site in a web browser. This is not a graphics problem. There seems to be something wrong in mobile mode and something right in desktop mode. The browser proves it. Youtube and all those other apps must be running in mobile mode and that is where it seems the problem is. Try it... . Run Youtube in a browser in Desktop Mode --not mobile mode. Request Desktop Mode in a browser. @aayush97 @StormShadow_94 @freelancer81 @p3dboard

Good that you took the trouble to find the solution to the problem.
For me, I can't use internet as it does not detect my usb wifi dongle.
Maybe install opera/opera mini and see....that's what I use anyway.....I dislike stock browsers.
Or better yet, use the official youtube app...more feature rich and stable than browsers.

You need a browser with "a request desktop version" option. I don't think opera mini has this option. Moreover and probably a topic for another thread, in relation to your wifi problem, you could use somebody's android or apple smartphone to create a mobile wifi hotspot for your remix os computer to connect to. It will work. All smart phones have a mobile wifi hotspot.

thanks for the suggestion....about the browser.
opera mobile or opera mini (which i am using on my note 10.1 has that option.
regarding wifi hotspot.....if my pc has no wifi, how could i connect to any wifi hotspots?
anyways, i am not using it (RemixOS) as a go to OS yet....just trying out....so...no need for internet.
thanks again!
I can play videos in Chrome and VLC just fine, however MX Player simply crashes when opening the video (even the Remix Mini video). The laptop I'm testing it on has a Core i5-3317U with Intel HD 4000 graphics.
Thanks for the suggestions =)
I forgot to mention that despite video playback not working in the Youtube and Facebook apps (haven't tried others yet), they play fine when viewed from the web browser. On Chrome, clicking and holding the video itself even pops up a "save video" option; an added bonus =P
For me this is how I use Youtube and Facebook on Windows anyway (through Chrome not the standalone apps) so it doesn't bother me at all. I play local videos using BSPlayer and they play great and they have subtitle support.
Only thing I'm struggling to get working are games. Not one single game works and an OS crash is always caused. I'm using an Nvidia gpu (GT 315 to be precise..... I know it's a very crappy one xD). Hopefully we'll get better compability in the coming updates =)
Intel Mobile GME 965 Express Graphics Card (Compaq 610)
Installed 3.0.201 Still problems when playing Netflix, Youtube etc videos from the app. Video freezes very soon while audio continues. When playing videos from Chrome browser no problem. I have a Compaq 610 with Intel Integrated Mobile GME 965 Graphics Card. When will Remix support this?
Cheers,
Patrick
problem is the video cards. to at least be able to watch youtube, just open the youtube app, click on the three dots top right of the video window and choose video quality of 360 or less and you will be fine.........
