Hi XDAII(i) owners,
I sold my XDAII & bought an XDAIIi for the integrated wifi & better cam.
Very satisfied, don't need WM2005 (tested on my XDA2 nice layout, but I can also set nice themes on my 2i and less battery than WM2005).
As the ppc toolz are for both devices the same, here i add my favorite ppc toolz list up till today, cause there is so much new software everyday :
1. Tomtom Navigator 5 Europe with plus-maps & poi's & checkpoint
Nice 3D interface, easy to use, best GPS program.
2. Hitchhiker 0.32 (freeware Kasuei Consultant Group) 0.4 still beta with some crashes - best wifi-connection tool to get online everywhere 4 free (80% of networks no WEP keys)
2. SPB Pocketplus 3.0.4
Best program with shortcuts to all your programs & themes, ...
3. Marsware Weatherpanel
Nicest weatherpanel that updates daily the weather 4 free on your ppc
4. Photocontacts Pro
Dial someone by clicking the picture and see the picture when they dial
5. Skype for ppc : free calls to anyone (if other person has also ppc phone with wifi & skype or via desktop pc & headset)
6. Avantgo : your daily newspaper with technews, movie, sports, actual news, register and free up to 2000kb news / day / different channels.
7. Mobimate Worldmate 2006 (ideal traveltool) updates weather different travel-locations, updates flight-schedules!, currency conversions, international measurements, and other traveller stuff.
8. Pocketdivx : ideal to play avi's and other videofiles
9. Pocket Music Player Bundle v3.2 : ideal for playing music and use your xdaIIi as a mp3 player (direct play from desktop ppc-multitask possible)
10. Anton Tomov Pocket Mechanic - to format SD card (when problems) or other cleanup/tweaks
Which essentials are on your lists ?
I hate it that msn has no email plugin or you have to go for the paid version. There is a 'photmail' program but still in beta i think.
Cheers,
Innovator :lol:

Being fairly new to the Pocket PC 2002/2003 I am curious as to what "must have" software you have on your pocket pc / pocket pc phone. What do you tend to use on a daily basis? What have you found to be the most useful piece of software for you.
I would like to see what people use so I can do a little research on each piece of software and see what I might need or want myself.
Just looking for ideas.. any thing posted would be appreciated.

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

Just a question: Does standard Xda II progs like Album, Camera, MMS Composer, Caller ID etc. work with WM2005?
Album (in Wm2005 it's called Picture&Videos) and Camera work. The WM2005 rom doesn't contain the MMS composer or callerID.
However, the contacts application in WM2005 downloades the pictures from Outlook 2003 on the PC. If you don't use Outlook on the PC, you can also assign pictures directly in the contacts application on the PPC.
Cheers

another Wm 2005 big gap!
hi, does WM 2005 had already able detect 125.86 Mb ROM instead of 30MB
we are on 96 Mb now! That is the useful size at the moment. Keep trusting Buzz to bust it!
Victor
wow nice job
96 Mb now? for the Storage and Running Programs? Does it also have auto config?can use my current ExtROM 1.12.924 WWE with WM 2005?
Tomtom Mobile
Anyone tried Tomtom Mobile5 under WM2005?
WM2005 is supposed to be able to run smartphone apps, so it might work with the smartphone version of Tomtom?

Stripping down all the programs and shortcuts leaves you a little over 9mb. Navtec will just run on that, but don't take a wrong direction because then it will get stuck (PS even the voice isOK)
Re: WM2005 Working program list (Updated!)
On my Device KSE TrueFax 2.09 for WM2005
Thanks rudistw for the working version of TruFax on WM2005!
Hi Yazzon, which version of Resco's Audio Recorder you got? I tried ver 3.01 which installs alright but would never open the app.
Not to forget pschoch's effort in indexing the apps, saves us all the trouble in going through each of the posts.

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
Phatware calligrapher (best handwriting recognition)
Destinator 7
Pocket Mindmap (great for notes and links to web pages)
PocketXPdf (absolutely best pdf reader-freeware)
WMWfirouter
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
Tell me the best apps (games or general apps) u have used in ur L920. Here are my 2 cents
skype
nimbuzz
facebook
yousendit
smartshoot.
Well i couldnt find much of good apps. If u found anything new, do comment below as everyone can try it.
Thanks..
what i use
it really says a lot when the best apps on my Windows Phone (Lumia 920) are the following:
Nokia Drive
Nokia Music
Photobeamer
Smart Shoot
All are made by Nokia and available for free.
Besides those I use the following a lot:
gMaps
Metrotube
Package Tracker
Tunein Radio
Only non Nokia one I really love would have to be Weave. Sexiest news reader out there.
Otherwise I use TuneIn, Though I wish it had a few more features such as tagging songs.
Oh and TripView for Sydney public transport is as excellent as the IOS and Android versions.
Frequently used:
Metro Tube
Nokia Maps -> Drive
Weave
Weather Flow
Nokia Music
Fhotoroom / Creative Studio
Photobeamer is one of the slicker things I've seen in a while.
Photofunia
Rhapsody
Weave
AP
Nokia Drive
WPCentral
Podcatcher
WeatherFlow
IMDB
UK Bus Checker
Ocado On The Go
Nokia Maps
There have been quite a number that I've enjoyed using so far travelling around the south of England.
By far and away, it's nokia maps and drive, but I've used NavigationShortcuts to pin destinations to the home screen.
Nokia city lense, and TripAdvisor are great for discovering what's around
ConnectivityShortcuts is my goto for turning on and off GPS, WiFi, and LTE.
Nokia Transport does a great job in London for replacing TFL.gov.uk, as does the UK Bus Checker
The microsoft Translator app works well going from french to english
I've enjoyed using Nokia Music for just some background music, and Tune-inRadio has ample internet radio lists
Primetube is a great free youtube viewer
What did I miss?
Connectivity Tiles - This is the best cellular, airplane mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth tile shortcut app I could find.
Weather (the MS one)
Notes - This app lets you add text into a live tile so you don't have to click anything to see your note.
WPCentral
IMDB
Newegg
Amazon
Paypal
AccuWeather and Met Office for weather info
XE best currency app
Facebook if poor on windows phone, I am sure it will improve
GPS toolkit for switching gps on and off
Settings tile for switch phone data, wireless, bluetooth and airplane mode on\off
Skype
Tripit
Tube map works well
Tunin Radio
And as said above, all the Nokia apps are great. love the maps and the transport app, but city lens and local scout are fabulous.
