Ok, thought i'd do this so we can look for new apps easily, as we all will have something that someone else hasn't! And will save people (myself included) from trawling the forum every day for something new to play with!!
So Far:
TouchFlo Tweaker for polaris, but seems to work fine with my nike
SetVolume nifty full screen volume changer, change volume by moving finger round dial + set vibrate, mute, etc. by pressing middle button
pRSSReader free and great, Today plugin feature too
Batti shows battery bar at top of screen, change height, colours, frame, percentages, always on top etc. nice if you don't want wisbar, etc. installed for this feature
GroupSMS click menu in sms options then add group of recipients in one go, great for calling the herd to watering hole!
HushSMS *cof*cof* shhhhhh, great for messing around with friends, use responsibly!
BatteryStatus nuff said
dcinobar get rid of the bottom taskbar, who needs it!? you might need to toggle in and out of landscape view after bootup just to get today plugs on bottom bar
NikiSimFix hide sim contacts
SlideActions excellent app to end call on slider down action plus other nifty addons to help lock phone in call, etc.
PocketRar winrar, need i say more
ok, i've showed you mine, now you show me yours!!
Resco explorer, registry & Keyboard - The best solution for it.
Schap's advanced configuration - Excelent tweaker
PDA light - Small executable that turns the pocket into a flashlite, with several colors optionable.
Spc clone & plus 4 + transparent iconset - Again, the best solution for backups and Tabs.
nueLED 1.5 - To customize the led colours.
pdg minimal dialer clean - My favorite dialer skin at the moment.
icontact 0.72 + lycox diamond skin - The best contact manager, now even better.
Softick card export 0.8 - The only solution to use the pocket as a pen.
Slideactions - The greatest tweak exclusive for dual.
Wisbar advance 3 - My favorite skinner.
IGO8 + wm6.1 fix - Map viewer, in 3D (I dont have GPS).
MyMobiler - My favorite "use pocket thru pc" solution.
Pim backup - The only solution for contact backups
TCMCP & Coreplayer - The best solution for video.
---edited---
I think the links are all fixed now.
@TWolf can you supply the links also when they are found in this forum. I did a search for PDA light and didn't find the program, it did find a lot of threads on backlight settings though.
The ones I ussually install apart from ones already stated above:
- Total commander: file explorer and Registry editor
- Modaco NoData: switch off data connection while roaming
- FBTV: Dutch TV Guide
- Google Maps
- Sprite Backup, the name explains itself. Came with the install cd supplied with the device.
- Stay Unlock: prevents your exchange server to force a lock policy onto your device.
- Opera Mobile: alternative browser which displays normal pages very good on your Nike.
thanks ! iContact looking good, will give it a whirl when i unbrick my device :S
great thread! a couple i think are cool:
s2u2
spb weather
phontuner - musical instrument tuner, guitar tuner etc, very useful for me.
pocketgravity - fun gravity game
pocketpicture - nice paint program
bluezard - for searching through peoples phones files via bluetooth (naughty)
webcameraplus - turn your nike into a webcam
Forgot to mention Kaisertweak with my own tweak file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395478
And thanks twolf for the links!
I'm a huge fan of SPB Mobile Shell.
good good
another one i like is ArielBattery covers start menu icon (or move wherever you like along topbar) with battery icon with % and custom colors
WeatherPanel free today weather plugin
cLaunch tabbed today screen app launcher, oh and free too!
youtube playerhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227 free, but you'll need HSDPA connection (or maybe EDGE will do), but very good, and yes free!
First thing I always do is install esmertec java (or jbed) then opera mini (mini.opera.com) - far and away the best fastest browser.
SMS-Chat:
http://iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html
pretty sleek and simple threaded sms messaging app.
it also has a "notification" feature that displays the text message you receive on your screen
As many are aware the new Max-Sense Manilla Mod for windows devices isint perfect, but there are many things that do give it a nice feel. I thought i would open this thread to help in posting bugs/things that could be better or more intuitive.
Let start guys, if there are some helpful comments in this thread ill be happy to add them to the OP as suggestions. Please post what you would like changed or made better, and keep flaming out of the question.
Personally What I'd like to see added in future updates:
Internet link widgets for the homepages
The ability to have more than one blank widget
Live Facebook widget, kinda like the sense tab
Sync Calender with Facebook events
Would like to see a picture Slideshow widget..
i'd like to see the memory and battery widgets have assignable actions, ex when you touch the memory widget it opens ark switch, taskmanager, clean ram, or a program of your choice, and battery would open the power settings, etc.
i would like to see more favorite people widgets
i would like the option to change the max sense taskbar from just minimized, maximized, or none to the windows default taskbar as well
i would like the backup/restore script that beegee_tokyo created implemented into the menu under max sense settings
i would like to be able to press the whole widget for your notifications to take you to the sense tab not just the icon.
it would be nice if the left soft key in the home screens was easily assignable, some people like have the start menu assigned or an app of choice.
i wish the back hard key did somthing, even if it just sent you to the homescreens instead of actually backing up.
i'm not trying to be negative in any way, i absolutely love max sense and all of the work everyone has put into it, but these are all features i think everyone would appreciate
lastly just somthing that came to mind would be a notes widget
I have not tried it. I am still waiting for the author to get back to me about being able to use it my roms. As soon as i am able to use i will let you know. Thanks

+1 for these, especially the "press the whole widget, not just the icon" one. I though my installation was broken until I figured out that you have to push the icon, not the number (eg. missed calls)
My personal feature request would be the ability to insert a table of quicklinks into one of the three main home screens, rather than only on the home button flick left action.
i.e. To fill-in the empty left screen of my theme here:

Thanks for all Max and BIGnAdAd's work!

I agree...I'd love to have my pictures at my main screen and be able to scroll like favorite contacts.....
Okay i have used every ROm on this planet and so far MAX is the most intuitive yet. Here are a few issues i have come across...
1- when returning from a tab based application there is a pause or slight hesitation where the notification bar return to back to the max sense appearance
2- all max sense ROMS are having the small MMS issues and for some reason the quick fix works and then doesn't and reverts back to the original settings
3-MAJOR battery eating - although i did notice when removing all the tmobile crap and the facebook tab that it was a HUGE success on saving batter...Now after one day of minimal use and testing often i was able to have 80% battery !!
4- I think that the Favs. widget could be smarter...quick sms mms or email buttons should or could be applied
thats all for now im sure I will have more ideas soon....thanks devs for making my windows phone make the iphone look retarded ....Nothing better then to see my buddy who just got the iphone 4 and then is caught staring at my HD2...And i know exactly what he's thinking...what phone is that? Phone envy is a sin i say....haha
well.. when we put a new widget, for example want to put a music player widget.. i put it but I want to choose a specific widget (of music player) to put.
So I want to have the option for me to choose what widget I want to put, and not put one itself that maybe i dont like it
I think the the Vibrant forums needs this as a sticky so moderators do your thing and ev1 else do yours i was thinking something like this for posts
Rom Manager-Helps with the install of custom Roms
Tv Guide-For the people of the world that doesn't have a guide on there TV
and so far and so on and maby like = for a short review and short how it works or how to work it its just an idea so if you like it post
Im allways looking for different.
All posts will be checked for redundancy's

i getcha...but these threads are more of a vanity thing than a reference thing. You get so many posts listing the same apps, so it flattens the concept. If people for once would actually ONLY list apps that have not already been listed, then these types of threads would actually have value.
A lot of people come to these threads initially in hopes of finding out about some apps they do not yet know about...but what happens is they open up the thread and they end up seeing multiple posts that look something like this
-Launcherpro
-handcent
-root explorer
-fruitninja
-adw.ex
-sportstap
......major apps that everyone knows about, and they just keep getting listed reptitively, so people stop paying attention to it and it dies out.
not cutting short your efforts....i started a thread like this on games, and after like 6 or 7 posts you could see that everything was pretty much listed....top apps thread are all over XDA
I dont want you to think im just trying to be a ****^^^^, so ill contribute with some not well-known apps:
-Album Art Finder
-aTakePhone: best subsitute dialer IMO
-Ayal Music Lite: mp3 search
-Droid streamer: tv shows
-Mob Decor: wallpapers
-Old Time Radio: streams classic radio shows, good to fall asleep to
-Paper football
-Vital Player: my favorite video player, tons of format support, also takes screenshots
-Swarm: great torrent client
I do see your point. And you not being a **** because that is something that I didn't think of the mutple posts of the same app so maby I could go about making a post and try to keep it updated with what other people's post in the first post keeping all the apps in one place and that way everybody can see them in one post

they are all essentially the same, but i do like ayal better
EDIT: Per the suggestions, I downloaded and can confirm it seems pretty amazing. A big learning curve though, doesn't seem intuitive. Working on that.
I Really would like to start using this app, but the permissions seem crazy to me. Everyone's thoughts? Am I just paranoid? The developer seems very legit and know's whats up... fan of XDA too... so, probably nothing, but I am so skeptical when an app needs so much (though, given the power of the app, it sorta makes sense)
This application has access to the following:
Services that cost you money:
directly call phone numbers
Network communication:
full Internet access
Your personal information:
read sensitive log data
Storage:
modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents
System tools:
disable keylock,
retrieve running applications,
reorder running applications,
modify global system settings,
prevent device from sleeping,
display system-level alerts
Your accounts:
discover known accounts
Hardware controls:
control vibrator
Network communication:
view network state,
view Wi-Fi state
System tools:
automatically start at boot,
expand/collapse status bar,
set preferred applications,
read sync settings
NOW... with all that said, look at the beauty you can create:

Hmm.. quick widget access?
I think you are just being paranoid. It's obviously a widely used app and as you can see a wonderful app to have.
If this was an unknown dev I would say do some research.
Thanks for this didn't know widgetlocker had themes!

yea like i have power amp so i put that widget there i also have my weather widget there also you can choose a different wallpaper aside from the one your phone has
I have been using it for a week or so now. I love having my fancy widget with weather on my lock screen but I get more use out of the Pandora Widget. control my music without having to unlock my phone when I pull it out of my pocket. added a slider for some things and its awesome. check out my layout i think it came out great personally.
How do I use the theme?

I've had it for a while but stopped using it, it would often default to system lockscreen and it runs in bg using resources, but it is pretty.PS. why are my screenies teh suck?
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

Cool! Thanks for posting this. I'm just not sure exactly how to use apply these themes. What exactly do we do with the .zips?
I want this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11817549&postcount=69
1. go the app menu and open widget locker (will not work from an already locked state )
2. Long press on open space
3. Select "Custom Slider"
4. click the drop down box to select a different slider from those installed or select "get themes" and download them directly.
5. customize the slider before you select "save"
EDIT: http://widgetlocker.teslacoilsw.com/themes-doc/installing-themes/ <-- how to install
Nvm we need 2.0 version lol
Alright, downloaded it... it looks like there is a little bit of a learning curve on this app. I will try reading the guides already out there and see if I can give a readers digest version later.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and love it. I got it specifically for keeping the audiogalaxy app on the locker as to have quicker access to pause or stop music. I have also grown fond of the rotary lock as well.
I've been using Widget Locker for months and I've never had a problem. I've just discovered the theming aspect of it so I'm excited to get into that. I'm wanting to theme the rotary and the normal android tabs like the lockscreens in Bionix 1.3, hopefully it turns out well! If someone's already done this, let me know where to find it
Here is my first attempt.....
Not perfect.
hi there all
installed and reinstalled urukdroid 1.6rc4 on my A70IT (plus gapps through arctools). there seems to be several issues which i came across
adfree doesnt work - say something like: can't find partition to remount - any ideas anyone?
also a very frustrating issue for me - trying to create a shortcut to a specific gmail label on the homescreen. this option is not available - not in any launcher i tried while it is on the stock archos rom when i boot into it. it's just doesn't show as an option when i long press on homesceen -> select shortcuts from menu - and 'gmail label' is not there... again, any ideas?
also this is a weird one - there seems to be issue with the screen - one example when i turn the tablet the home screen is allways in an off position - like 5 percent left as it is if you were to slide the homescreen to left and stopped your finger 5 percent into the slide... another example is an app ( a kids game called kids connect) - it runs as if it is zoomed in or as if it runs on a little bit higher res than the real screen is and so some of the image is lost at the edges...
anyone seen this before?

1. adfree: never worked propper on UD as far as i know (at least not since I use it) - use another app - "adaway" is opensource and does the same, wokred fine for me
2. gmail: sry no idea but reinstalling...
3. launcher (5%): I also had it - but im not sure how i fixed it - it just went away some day - propably I reinstalled launcher or tried another one (try both, i dont have it atm on RC4 and VTL1.6.5)
4. sounds like a bug of the app (some apps dont display propper on any resolution - did u try it on your phone if u got anandroid?)
Next time use - general or app/theme forum - as non of this is development related - just apps...
If u feel some problem might be caused by UD or the latest UD RC update feel free to post any bug in the related Dev thread... (but it seems non of your problems are - as u dont provide before/after informations)

...just one word about ad blocking:
As you know the filesystem in UrukDroid is mounted r/w.
So the easiest way to block advertising would be, overwrite your hosts file manually.
See:
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts
This is simply what most adfree apps do... they overwrite your hosts file
Additionally there's endless discussion on this topic, here at XDA-developers.
Have a nice day,
scholbert
