anyone have a good aim client?
great, now does anyone have a free aim client?
thanks
I've tried them all... I think AIM 2.0 is still the best one one (for AIM only).
IMO the best is Slick. It has the most features and is still free!
AIM 2.0 (UK version) if you want AIM only... its YEARS old now, but it runs just fine on the Titan.
If you want a multi-IM client, I use Palringo and I love it. I've tried just about every IM client available, and Palringo is my favorite, especially since it takes up minimal memory.
only problem with aim 2.0 is you cant see mobile users or see their text if they im you
Palringo can't see the icon when users are on mobile either, but you can see the user as being online. I wish we would have an IM program that can compare to other devices. we need something like the sidekick or jivetalk. With jivetalk and sk, you can see buddy icons and when users are mobile. I can only wait...
The biggest problem is that pretty much all the IM clients out there for Windows Mobile are relatively new. It will take some time for them to come out with new version that increase their capabilities, etc. There is no perfect mobile IM client out there right now.

i see...so far im liking slickim, also tried palringo for a bit and that seemed good too. loved the addvoice and addpicture functions.
both those programs were pretty much what i was looking for, so thanks alot everyone
can anybody tell me where to get aim 2.05.5
I've tried EVERY AIM client on the market, including AIM 2.0, IM+, and the VeriChat PPC beta. I just tried Palringo and I'm really surprised. It's very very nice. Give it a shot!
I have agile and I just tried Palringo. The picture function works fine on both. However, the Push to talk is a little better in agile b/c I dont have to download the talk. In agile, I can just click the link and i plays.
But, Palringo supports the little messages under your sn that the newer aims have. Agile doesn't b/c they haven't updated in awhile.
I just tried palringo and I'd still recommend agile messenger. Agile is more like the sidekick, and handles multiple conversations. Palringo only lets you talk with 1 person at a time unfortunately, and loses everything you said or was said to you when you switch to another person. I also like how Agile lets you have vibration or a custom sound when you receive a new message whereas palringo was a quiet "dink" sound with no vibration option. Palringo also seems to frequently disconnect claiming "You have been logging off and on too frequently" - according to its forums they have been having problems with AIM in particular for a few months. Palringo looks like one of the better looking free ones I've tried, but if you're willing to pay (and agile is unfortunately rather expensive, especially for phone software) agile seems better to me.
Palringo does look like something to keep an eye on though.

I'm thinking of another ROM line, to be good enough to use for business (so it has to be very stable) and with toned down, professional graphics. This will very much be a "clean" ROM, with no extra BS apps or addons. Can I hear some suggestions please ?
Looking forward to it..
As you already know, I'm not a huge fan of the HTC apps/enhancements, so I would leave those out with the option of installing via cab, or have them in the ROM with a working toggle to turn them off.
I would say do as many of the "under the hood" tweaks you can do without sacrificing stability.
As for graphics, I already like your taskbar in your WM6.5 series, and I think that could stay. I'm not sure what changes you would have in mind for graphics, but I think the graphics you have now are pretty clean.
Are you thinking of a WM6.5 ROM or a WM6.1 ROM? I didn't see that mentioned, so I thought I would ask since you've done both in the past.
i think you should go with stock graphics people customize if they choose. my ideal business rom would be like juicy's cdma one
"It's business, It's business time!" - Flight of the Conchords
I think this is a GREAT idea. Would this be 6.1 or 6.5? 6.5 is very close to being capable of generating a "stable" ROM.
Even though this is business oriented, I think anyone would much appreciate the style (icons, themes, graphics) that you put into your ROMs. Same would hold true for most of the enhancements. Maybe trim down some of the fluff.
simple is the Best
go for it am sure will be a good Rom.
Good Luck
WOW, another one. jeez, you gonna be busy LOL. I get frustrated sometimes with just the one version. More power to ya
What about a stock looking version? I know some people would like a ROM that is much better than the crappy one that comes preinstalled. I think you might get a lot of hits from a lighter ROM that looks semi-stock. As stable as stock, but with all the enhancements and tweaks you can squeeze into it. Possibly a 6.5 and 6.1 version.
I think it's a very good idea and in my opinion the ROM must be based on WM 6.1. Email/SMS/MMS/Vido call/WIfi/ must work without a hitch. You could include opera 9.7b and maybe IE 8.
These are my suggestions. Merci.
P.S. i only use your roms!

Newer versions of PIE only work with 6.5 as far as I know. I agree that the most stable ROM is going to be 6.1, but if you go with 6.5 I would suggest an older build. 23001 seems like a turd to me. Went back to 21820 and its twice as fast with no bugs.
3 important things for a business ROM:
1. As clean as possible (only essential progs. installed, like Pim Backup, Adobe Reader, Pocket RAR, Google Maps, GPS Test)
2. Stable = reliable
3. Good battery life

lol i know what you mean
I have reverted back to 21018. After playing around with 4 later builds and a little go with 6.5 I am back here to old faithful. Very fast, battery burns lean, and every build i have tried later than this had some problem or other. slow/buggy or battery destroyer.
Easy to Use Dialer
Dialer:...................Accurate - consistent - easy to use - good speaker phone / mute / automated menu support
Three interfaces:....TF3D2 – Titanium – Win Phone Basic Text interface
Graphics:...............Clean with color - Landscape mode 6.1 style (quick easy buttons) Portrait Mode Action softkey
GPS:.....................Good stand alone support (no data plan)
MMS:....................Support for the largest attachments the carriers will allow
SMS:....................Good support for text conversations
Weather:...............Good support for text and graphic reports in all interfaces
Stocks:.................Good support for text and graphic reports in all interfaces
Wifi / Networking:...Corporate and HotSpot support
Programs Tab:........(TD3D2) 3 or 4 column option with app names under icons
Good battery life Business does not mean Boring – It means Practical Predictable Performance
Apps
I would say:
Remote Desktop
World Card
Adobe Reader
Office Suite (obviously)
Google Maps AND Live Search
All of the basics for GPS- QuickGPS, aGPS settings, etc.
Live Messenger (for Office Communicator support)
Those are the 'business' tools that I use most. Does that help?
yes yes yes
thank you for start takeing this as trend
please under the hood basic application
some applications in my rom i cant even remember when i used them
the most imprtant is Battary vs application ( i have charger at the car,home , office., .......poof....)
any small clock tic will eat somthing from the phone
Ram and heat.
my x1 cracked because of the heat, my ear after a good call get fride.
some rams goes above 60%
example i tried yesterday to put my phone in full withe new cocked rom( backlight full and battery power on ) the battarey draind in less than 2 hours, without any call or sms ... nothing
but applications like email,office,sms,organizer and contacts will be fine
yes please Business Edition is great what ever under the hood
Loved the Energy Rom3......but it was lacking (I could not find anyways) Voice Command applet. I use blue-tooth headset continually and have calls/messaging/reminders etc routed thru blue-tooth headset. Would love to see that in the business edition. That's mostly what this phone is used for.

Those **** roms are terrible...
This is an awesome idea... The chrome version was cool... but perhaps more emphasis on productivity. A nice action screen that brings up all of the things you would use on a daily basis and keeps them right at your fingertips... I know I need to take notes at a moments notice in my job... and it's hard to get things where I need them to be sometimes...
Also contacts and appointments are of the utmost importance... Constantly scheduling things and changing them around, it's nice to have things in an easily accessible spot...
Though I don't spend much time on the phone lately... I would imagine bluetooth would be crucial as well... and having as much control from the headset as possible would also be nice...
Then of course some "hey check me out *****es" graphics and apps that are streamlined and professional looking enough to show your boss when you pull the phone out and he asks "what the hell is that thing?"
That's just my $ 750,500,000 ZWD
Quite honestly, your current ROM is fit for business and displays appropriate graphics and tones. The add-ons are typically ones the manufacturers have missed and allow a much better experience than stock. I work with professionals everyday and when I show off ROM's from XDA, they often say if I had seen that at ATT or T-Mobile, I would have purchased this phone vs. Blackberry or iPhone.
This sounds like what I've been waiting for!
A simple WM6.5 interface that is stable and fast. No touchflo, as we all know that is not for business users. I think the best thing for this special business line, is that all the under the hood settings come pre-configured, and don't give us the option to make advanced config changes. I seriously waste so much time trying to tinker with the settings, and eventually make the device less stable.
Also this line should have one application for each function. I rarely need 15 chat clients, and 10 media apps!
Great idea.. Make sure to add Stock and Weather to Chome 6.5 These are helpful for those business travelers on the go with an eye on the market.. The JML Stocks plugin is sweet!!!!
Is this really needed?
I'm nearly new with this machine, but a very heavy Bussiness user of HTC PDAs for 5 years.
Comming from an Hermes, I have flashed your Energy Magic Rom 20090630 after two week of trying the stock one and threads reading here, and for me your main rom is fast, accurate, conservative with battery and completly perfect for work.
If someone feel titanium or tf3d improductive, it could be dissable. And the same could be done with the new menus and notification style.... To change three or four options in the default behaviour of your rom, that could be made with a few clicks here and there, don't justify a new line of roms.
Just my though...
Looks like the new Trillian IM client is now available and is open beta. It has a expiration date until the end of the beta. Wanted to give you guys a heads up if anybody else was interested in this multi-IM client.

It's about time. By far the best messenger now, even in beta. Thanks for sharing... the jerks didnt bother to email me about it even though I subscribed to updates..

I tried it, it is not very good. I prefer ebuddy or IM+
On the contrary, it's a very solid app. Then again, I am unsure of your expectations for this app.
I love the app unfortunately after opening and having one conversation it refused to open any new conversations.
Thanks for the heads up. I always loved trillian on my pc.
I find it frustrating that this app doesn't tell me why aol won't sign in. is it my password, is it the network, wtf? Doesn't even give me a sign in failed alert. Im+ is the same way. It's been a while since I used im where I'm not auto-signed in and figuring out all my passwords is gonna take some work. Clearly these apps are not gonna make it easy.
Yeah. I had a really weird problem that it didn't log in, i had to close it THEN when I finally got in.. I couldn't even send a IM to anybody, and when I logged onto another s/n attempting to message myself, it never went thru unless I signed out and resigned back in.
The interface does look pretty nice though, definitely needs some working but this is a Beta so i didn't have expectations that it would be bug-free. Most definitely going to give Trillian another go when the next beta build is released.
One of the big perks with using Trillian for Android is it's integration with the desktop client. When you change something on your computer (add a friend, change a name, change a user group, etc.) it is automatically updated on the Android client. Also, they are adding synchronized logging to an upcoming build. That means the conversations you have while you are mobile will be transferred to the desktop client and all versions (Windows, Mac, iPhone, Blackberry, Android) will live in harmony without having your logs scattered all over the place.
The bigger bugs like connection issues, message sending issues and crashes will be hammered out pretty quickly so it should be much more stable in the very near future. If you do experience a crash you should be given the opportunity to send a log to the developers (please use it!). If you have a stomach for Bugzilla you can report the bugs and feature requests directly:
http://bugs.ceruleanstudios.com/
Login: beta
Pass: beta
On a side note... The Voice To Text option in conjunction with Trillian is pretty awesome. I was amazed at how fast and accurate Android's VTT is. It was even accurate while driving on the highway with a lot of background noise.
Sorry: Due To Strong Demand We Cannot Provide Service At This Time. Please Try Again Later., In Windows Mobile 6 and 6.5 is the message you are going to get if you are a skyfire user now. This been like this for the last 2 days now.
I don't know if we the windows mobile users have been turn off to get the big sale for the iphone, i will be removing skyfire from my phone for reason of no reply on the truth on why we have been turn off. I believe someone is not supporting beta anymore.
I have the same problem since yesterday! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, unfortunately they have just launched their iPhone and iPad version for the app store.
To try to handle the load of new users on their server farms, they have basically said f-off to the WinMo and Symbian users.
Here's a link showing how well they are doing with iPhoney sales in the app store.

Damn.. Kudos to them haha. Anyways, use uZard.
skyfire has turned off winmo and symbian access
from one of their forum mods in their support section:
All the platforms run on one server, After the high demand for skyfire on iphone's for now Windows has been turned off on the server end. I can't give you a exact time period as to when we'll be back up again, All I can say is soon.
http://support.skyfire.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5981
oh well, I will never use it on any phone I get in the future. To turn off the servers for the people that built their reputation is pretty crappy. I hope they can't keep up with demand and get a bad reputation on the iphone.
why the **** i have to connect to a server if i only want to use the f****** browser. they should remove the online bookmark function at least give it a offline modus. they whole browser is still very suspect to me. simply let us use the browser like every ither developer and dont force us to go online before we evev load a webpage and make money with our surfbehaviors. anyways browser is great, but only if you can use it, without synchronising your bookmarks and whatever furthrt at stsrtup...

I think that's because Skyfire is basically an Internet Proxy - it accesses the real pages, optimises them for size & speed and serves them back to the local browser as a Skyfire friendly page that renders quickly.
So no server, no browser, basically.
...and careful with the language please!
Well I for one am never gonna use skyfire again. Never thought it was that good any way apart from flash. uZardWeb is way faster in the uk. I think skyfire really dont see that there is competition out there and not just from uZardWeb. Wish I never gave them support with skyfire when they started out.
Skyfire doesn't give a damn about Windows Mobile... They dropped the platform (notice how there no version 2.0 for WM). They made no money with it (it was free), its dying platform and their code wouldn't work in WP7 (due to the stupid "no native code" support... imagine rewriting everything in C# for free and such a small niche).
Lot's of Apple idiots/fanboys in the world (it's a fing status symbol/icon). With the iPhone/iPad version I assume they are getting more traffic than they can handle right now. Anyway the only reason they are getting this much attention is Apple's anti-flash tantrum...
PS: I hate the uZard Project. uZard Media player is a slightly modified TCPMP version (worse than bimbam's by the way)... They didn't release the sources and didn't respond to my mail requesting it. I hope Core nails them for copyright infringement.
well, uzard could be good, but as i see some 'trial period over' it makes me go away.
Oh, btw, skyfire s**k big time.
Same here, so just un-installed it. Sod them,life goes on.

they didn't have to give winmo a 2.0 update, just a 1.6 update that fixed the video playback issues. Skyfire 1.x is based on IE6 (I think) which is no longer supported by most built video plugins. That is why video died.
And now to have been cut off completely from the servers.....
Alternative browsers?
Its been 4 days and i already miss having built in video web pages. I have come to my senses and going to delete skyfire for good. Right now im using opera mini and opera mobile for my browsing satisfication, but no built in video i could live without it, but are there any alternative browsers that can do the same thing?
This is one of many reasons why cloud computing sucks

Uzard wasn't good enough .. Is there an updated version somewhere?
any.option.to.replace.Skyfire?
Thank you guys for posting this thread and information.
I allways went to Sky Fire in the morning to read the news and stuff.
I was wondering what the happened to the server.
I now know why.
So I deleted Sky Fire and installed this Uzard Browser.
It works, but video is shoppy and browser is not as fast as Opera, but the colors and graphics is much better.
Skyfire is done with WM just like other companys dishing out software. They are all waitin for WP7. The only company I've seen that has the balls & courtesy to admit it was NIMBUZZ. Their site actually doesn't even offer WM downloads anymore and says they will resume work when the WP7 platform is ready. Look around all the well known programs that are cross platform and u will notice IPHONE & ANDROID have been getting updatest but not WM. Even the news station in my area says no more updates for the near future when tryin to download their news app. If everyone was not so materialistic and only cared about the new cool device these companies would keep supportin WM but they are just doin what the consumer wants them to do. They make more money from IPHONE & ANDROID so ofcourse thats where their attention is focused & till WP7 comes they will keep sayin "**** WINDOWS MOBILE!" Its all about money.
Well, it's kind of disappointing, but it's not like I paid for it (like the iphone users are doing).
You can use TCPMP as the player for UZard. I don't remember the exact trick, but I think if you open tcpmp up first, then open a vid on uzard, it will play through tcpmp, which is better because the skin on the uzard player is crap.
Hi!
I'm thinking about switching back from Android to WinMo 6.5 because in my opinion Sense + CHT2 is superior to any other homescreen and I miss it a lot. But I am not sure because there are a lot of things I think I'll miss. First of all the stability of Android. I have never had problems with things crashing or the need to restart the phone. Also I like that everything works good for me out of the box. Well, and here are my questions regarding WinMo:
- Is there a browser which works as good and fast as the stock android browser? For me it is important that I can view all web pages as they would be displayed on my computer (no mobile pages and such crap). Also flash support would be awesome.
- Does syncing gmail via ActiveSync support push mail and multiple gmail accounts?
- Is there a free alternative to the provided rss app?
The most important things for me are:
- stable system
- very good and fast browsing experience (with working flash)
- sync contacts and calendar with gmail (which syncs also with evolution on my pc)
I think I'm going to miss the facebook app from android because the WinMo one is really crap but I can live with that, I'm not a heavy fb user.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Ive always found Opera 9.7 to be better than any of the android browsers... except maybe Dolphin..
I can give you a cab to get rid of the default user agent and prevent it displaying sites in mobile view if you want. Unfortuneately flash support is not possible, there is a flash compatible browser called Uzard but its pretty buggy. I guess you could install it and just use when you need flash...
Not sure about syncing your contacts and calendar with gmail as I have never bothered but I have seen something around here about it.
CHT2.0 contains an RSS widget which links in with the stock RSS reader, Im not a heavy RSS user so I dont really know how it compares with the android equivalent but its fine for me.
As for a stable system........ cooked ROMS are the way to go.
Energy, Artemis, Duttys and Elegancia are all popular choices...
Ive just switched from Energy to Elegancia and its incredibly smooth and stable.
Remember, you can always keep an android build on your SD card and have the best of both worlds.
Hope that helps in some way.....

Yes, Opera 9.7 is a very good browser. Although on some websites it did not display everything correctly.
Well, flash is not a killer criteria but would be nice. You may not need it for months but when you need it one time and you can't...
RSS is important for me as I enjoy reading the news on my phone. I also use twitter a lot for news, so I love the twitter tab in sense
I used energy before switching to android and all at all I was pretty satisfied with it (although the dialer looks awful IMHO ). But sometimes you see WinMo behind the sense-curtain and some things lag or even crash and that is something I do not have with Android. Well, I think I'm gonna give it a try (I have a CWR backup for the worst case) and use parallel some SD builds of android.
Sharing that cab would be awesome! Thanks a lot! I know otherwise you have to do some registry tweaks...
Heres that cab for the user agent.
Also, if your a heavy twitter user you might want to try moTweets. Theres a free ad supported version, contains a few more features than the twitter tab.

Hi,
I am using a Lumia 800 as well as a Lumia 920. What i'd like to know is what options do i have when it comes to google talk clients for Windows Phone 8 and which of them is the best.
On my 800, I am using the 'JiTalk' app. Its working completely fine. However, with wp8 and support for lock screen notifications I was wondering if there is any other better client out there that can support these new features along with standard requirements like push notifications, etc.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Being a WP user for quite some time now, I am aware of all alternatives for gtalk like skype, messenger, fb chat integration, etc. So please avoid giving these suggestions. Its just that I have a long list of people on google who I cant shift to any other service so need a solution for it.
Having an Android phone I was in the same boat as you, looking for a good Gtalk client.
I tried gchat but found it to be quite unstable, and often doing weird things. Though based on comments that may be because it's not tested on WP8 yet.
Then I installed IM+ and it's excellent. It supports multiple chat protocols, and it has a very good feature set. It does crash from time to time when opening the full app, but I find the push notifications work well and overall I'm very happy with it. So much so I purchased the full version (the free one is ad suported).
jiTalk works best for me. YMMV

Yup. Sticking to JiTalk. Seems to work fine for me as well. The only issue is at present it support only one account at a time.
