Hi,
There seems to be a lot on the wiki regarding the handsets, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on software for the handsets.
There's the "Must have tools" page, but I personally would appreciate a page listing software by category.
I am therefore proposing to produce a page called "Software" with a list of categories such as
Diary/Calendar
Contacts
File Managers
Games
GUI Enhancement
Instant Messaging/Chat
System Tools
Today
etc.....
Then, each of these pages would have a list of sub categories with software titles listed underneath, so for example "Instant Messaging" would have IM+, Skype, Pocket IRC etc... under it and each of these would then have it's own page on which to include features, details of compatibility with handsets and WM versions and links with where to get them from (possibly even links to related forum topics).
Obviously I will start from my Wizard/Hemes and the software I have used, so I shall apologise for that in advance, but if I start adding this will anyone complain?
Or would it be appreciated?
Any thoughts, comments or ideas (and things I have overlooked, like this existing) are appreciated.

One question for you would be whether the software section would be a cross device section or under a specific device eg Hermes or Wizard?

Cross device, totally.
The way I look at it is that most of the software is written to work on "Any" WM device so it should therefore be written generically. I'd then try to include a compatibility list of "This software is confirmed (not) working on..." for people to add their devices to as well as notes on how to get it working if their may be trouble.
For example, Skype works on most, but not so well on a Hermes unless you use the beta.
Just wish I knew more about the advanced features on the wiki software xda-devs uses....
Had a play the other day and at least one other person has linked something into it so far...
Games and Emulators page.
Guess we will see how it goes....
I'd love to help, but I'm mainly a MediaWiki guy, is there a list of basic editing procedures and stuff for the software xda-developer wiki uses?
Hey guys,
I just had to mention this software that I just ran into yesterday. If you've already seen it, I apologize for bringing it up agian...
I installed it yesterday, and it does the coolest thing. I can broadcast LIVE video from my phone that can be seen from a web browser. Not only that, but it also brings up a google map tracking my position in real time.
Set the phone on your vehicle dash, start broadcasting, Drive around, and people can watch your trip in real time with a map showing your location...
I hope I have not double posted about this, but I really wanted to share.
Ok, I just found it was posted in the Development and Hacking forum, but I still think I'll bring it to the Trinity Forum since I've verified it works on the Trinity.
Website
http://www.ix-m.com/gps
Latest CAB is always available here
www.ix-m.com/downloads/livecam.cab
Install the 'Live Media GPS' software on your phone, and the 'Live Media for Windows' on your computer.
Be sure you have the GPS linked up, or it will not broadcast.
You also have the option of viewing your Desktop Computer Video from your Trinity.
I hope somebody enjoys this as much as I am!
Nice to see you here. Great software.
I'm just watching Live Stream - Motorbike - diterex. Fantastic.
Best regards !

Good to see you too.... We miss you over here in WWE Trinity World.
Another cool feature is that you can send instant Audio Clips to the person viewing the video, or Vice Versa. It only takes seconds to send and receive them.
This sounds awesome. I agree that it's always worth reposting in Trinity to show it works. I'll test it soon.
Best to install it on a lite ROM I imagine (not Manila based)?

Actually, I'm currently running the g77 Manilla rom, and it installed and works fine. So Far.
Getting Started Tips
If you are interested in trying this, here are a few tips:
1. You need to create two seperate accounts for the Mobile version and the Desktop Version. Then you can link the two accounts as Buddies and view the video back and forth. Using the Buddy option keeps others from seeing your video unless you want them to, in which case you can broadcast to the Public pages.
2. After installing to your Mobile, be sure to go into the 'Settings' and then 'Video Recorder' and turn off 'Direct screen mode' to show your video on the Trinity.
3. I've tried leaving the option 'Video with Audio' on and off. It works both ways, but is better video if audio is off.
4. If you'd like to start Broadcasting on your Wife's/Husbands/Kids Trinity, you can enable the 'SMS Activation' option. By sending a text to the phone with the security code, it will start transmitting automatically.
5. As mentioned in an earlier post, the GPS MUST be synced before the Broadcasting will work. It may take a few minutes in clear skies for it to link up, so be patient. (As with any GPS enabled program on the Trinity)
6. Keep in mind that this is probably a HUGE battery drainer. I have not tested how bad, but it IS using the GPS, Camera, Audio, Network, all at the same time. But, if plugged into a charger while driving, it's not a big deal.
7. If you are not connected using WI-FI, BE AWARE that this will connect your Data Connection and might be charging you $$$. I'm on an unlimited Data Plan, so it's not a problem here.
8. Don't Broadcast any "Adult" content to the Public site, or you will be banned. Whatever you do with your Wife/Girlfriend/Dog/Goat/Etc using the Direct Buddy option is up to you...
8. Don't forget to try the 'Send Voice Message' or on the Mobile "Live Talk" feature. It's pretty quick, and AWESOME audio quality.
9. Have Fun!
For now, that's all I can think of. As I use it more, I'll add things if needed. Feel free to do the same.
great!
it seems gpsgate can do these too, exclude video audio sharing
thx
I'm addicted to flashing. But I like my apps. Ive collected some good ones, and I hope that this thread is useful. I had always wished that there would be a central place that I could look at for quality apps for the Excalibur. I will try to get the .cab files on this post, but for now all download links are in descriptions:
Web Browsers:
Opera Mini: The most functional internet browser for the Excalibur. the .cab file(s) is attached in the 2nd post on this thread.
Skyfire: Better web browser, plays flash. Slow on the Excalibur no matter which ROM you use Official site here.
Bolt Browser: Currently in open beta, is a Java program and works like Opera Mini, but based on webkit. Worth a try if you are looking for something new. Official site here.
Communication:
Windows Live: An essential, allows push email if you have a Hotmail or lLve account. Offical site here.
Facebook: Is a good application that runs smoothly. My only gripe with it is that the feeds are not pushed to the application. Instead if you want to find something out, you have to refresh it. You can upload pictures, videos, update status, comment on other's, etc. I have the .cab attached or it is here
Tiny Twitter: The best twitter client for our phone. Official site here.
Palringo: My favorite IM application. Does all the typical IM services, but also Facebook! Awesome. Official site here.
Fring: Another decent IM software. I prefer Palringo. But if your taste differs, official site is here.
Skype: Fun, useful and saves minutes if you pay. You can send texts for free through it though. A defeinite plus. Official site here.
Entertainment:
Kinoma FreePlay: An excellent media application. Although it does use quite a bit of memory- its All-In-One aspect justifies its use of RAM. It plays your music, photos, and video... But you can also access YouTube, stream radio stations, Flickr, you name it! Kinoma FreePlay is free but the upgraded version, Kinoma Play is $30. Official site is here, its worth checking out.
SmartGear: The best emulator for windows mobile. Plays Sega Genesis, Gamegear, NES, GBC. It is free to try, $10 to buy. Official site here.
Pocket Nester Plus: Free, but not as good as SmartGear. Only plays NES games. Find to download here.
Kevtris: Best Tetris game for windows mobile in my opinion. Download here.
Pandora: Update New pandora .cab tested and working good on WM 6.5 EVO 2.0 Naturally works best with WiFi since the Dash has no 3G. The .cab is attached to this post.
TCPMP: The most versatile, and free media player. Will play almost anything you throw at it (like a vlc for windows mobile). You can download either here or here with extra codec support.
Navigation/Search:
Google Maps Mobile: Best mapping application for our phone. Official site here.
Bing: If you are familiar with Windows Live Search, this is it- rebranded. It is useful. Official site here.
Backup:
Microsoft MyPhone: Backs up your texts, media, contacts. Overall useful application if you don't go for Dashwire. Official site here.
Dashwire: Free, like Microsoft's MyPhone, it is a backup of contacts, pictures, videos, etc. But then from online you can send texts from your phone. Its cool. Again, .cab is attached but official site is here
Organization:
Microsoft Recite: Stores voice memos and can look them up via your own speech. Surprisingly useful. Worth a try. Official site here.
EDIT: There are lots of members contributing to this thread with lots of other great applications. Please read through the comments below because there is some great stuff to find here!
If you feel like I have missed an application, please post it and share!
If you like this thread, please say it. I (think) I'm doing good by posting this thread and making newcomers, or more experienced users, lives easier.
~Reserved for more .cab files~
awesome and extremely useful!
Good idea! Hopefully, we will not need to search threads and posts to find our apps anymore!
This IS a useful post!
Heres some links to a whole buttload of CABs:
REMOVED LINK DUE TO WAREZ
and here:
REMOVED LINK DUE TO WAREZ
All the CABs your ever need and then some!
And my collection of NES roms:

I'm glad that this thread is appreciated. Thank you for contributing!
thanks guys
Thanks for the "Microsoft MyPhone" I was needing a free app that also backed up my calender since I switch phones often and its a P.I.T.A. to have to manually sync up my calenders from phone to phone. Dashwire wont do that and I dont use outlook.
Thax for this thread
does anyone have the cracked version of foxit reader? i had it but when i switch roms i forgot to back it up. its a freeware, but theres no way for me to register because i think they abandoned the project
Thanks for the thread!
Another useful cabs are
Autokeylock, by maniac.
Clock on Top
CT Scheduler (lite version is free)
Base hue
Freeup ram
**And of course, a registry editor***
edit:cabs uploaded
This would be handy as a sticky topic. That way it would be easy to find it when someone goes looking for something.
Any way here are a couple links that I would like to share. I found them to be useful from time to time.
more apps .......
amAzeGPS: A sweet Free GPS nav with 3D view and voice turn by turn. Usually you have to pay for a program like this. Data connection required.
MyPhone: phone contacts, calender, photos, etc back-up app as mentioned in the first post. IMO better than Dashwire because it dosent make the phone lag or eat up RAM. Data Required.
Bejeweled are just trials but I just uninstall and reinstall them to use them again.

How come HTC Audiomanager be forgotten?
I don´t know if it´s current version, but this one works pretty well.
I know for sure that the wm6.5 from NRGZ and Ookba have it cooked in 2.0 version. but since I couldn´t find a CAB for 2.0, grab this one.
Regards
Thank you for posting good applications guys! (especially phatmanxxl)
I hope that this thread can be an easy place for people to look at and find/discover good applications.
i gotta say at first i thought this thread was dumb but man after looking at all the apps to download i gotta say i now have a ton more software on my dash lol
thanks
Slick!
What about Slick! http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=slick its a messenger and its very good try it. Here is the cab.
Nice
Very cool the Facebook and Pandora are great!
I asked to make this a sticky
Cheers
Great thread!
I know several of us here are in the medical field and I thought I would start a thread, where we can share information of how our phones can be useful to us in our field. My goal is to spread the word as to what tools are available to us, regardless of what branch of the medical field we are all in.
If anyone has used some good programs or if you simply want to confirm that an application works well with the resolution of the HD, then please share with the rest of us.
Just as a reminder to everyone, XDA is not a place to share illegal content, so please don't post links to cracks etc...
I'll start with links to several web pages where you can find a lot of apps.
Medical Wizards. They have a lot of nice solid apps.
Skyscape has a lot of apps both for desktop PC and PPC.
Mobipocket has a section for medical ebooks. You might find some useful. The nice thing here is that you can install the reader on your PC and your PPC so you can view their ebooks on either one.
Handy Patients (from Handylife.com). I think the graphics need major improvement, but it seems to have excellent features for patient management.
PDA-Medicus: Although the website is in German, many of the links are to English apps. You can use Google translation to translate paragraphs in the pda-medicus site that might interest you.
And for any German speakers...
Mobipocket in German has some good ebooks - readable on PC and PPC.
PDA-Medicus (mentioned above) has a well organized list of links both in German and in English - freeware as well as shareware.
Reserved space in case it's needed in the future.
Are there any good ones for dentists?

I just did a quick search and found these for dentists:
PDA Resources for dentists
LexiComp PDA Software for dentists: The first three on that list (as of today) are for iPhone only. But starting with the Lexi-Dental-Suite and below, they are also offered for PPC.
Skyscape ebooks for dentists: you'll have to see which ones are for PPC. That link will show you a lot books, but some are also for general health care knowledge.
Maybe someone else can recommend other ones too.
Hi!
You may know me as the guy who made blownfuze.org. I've done it again (I'm doing it, rather) and the address is tilt2.blownfuze.org. Basically it's a good place to unleash your phone, beginners to vets, while hiding from ad banners, thread chaos and rapidshare links.
The site, targeted specifically at the AT&T crowd but useful for all TP2 owners, is divided into a dozen chapters including how to flash a rom and my reflections on the various existing roms, the usual stuff to install (like flash, mortscript, MSCF and MSVC), a collection of Opera builds and other browsers and RSS readers, tweaking tools (advanced config, hd tweak), email guidance, GPS stuff, multimedia (players, tones), recreational stuff (dopewars, facebook), expert stuff (vpn client, packet sniffing) and perhaps most importantly what you need to get your phone back to its out-of-the-box stock condition (the software at least) for warranty compliance if you have ever flashed anything. It's the kind of site you might bookmark.
I only recently started this thing and though it is a little premature to post it publicly like this (it will get better over time..) the important sections like installing hardspl, flashing roms and warranty issues, they're good to go and I got some fresh cabs lined up for you too so c'mon down to tilt2.blownfuze.org.
In addition to plugging my site (thanks xda mods), the purpose of this thread is to invite suggestions from you (for example this part is good or that sucks or you should add this and remove that or cite this developer for that cab) so please do that, I will listen, or you can contact me in the contact form thingy at the bottom of my site.
Yours, Doug
Thanks Doug. Your sites are AWESOME and very useful! I don't have a fuze but I've found some sweet programs on your site for my tilt. I look forward to the new site.
Looking good, thank you!
great site, great infos. many thanks.
Looks very good actually, bookmarked it and having a good flick through now. Some very very usefull stuff on there!
Id be tempted to suggest trying to improve the GUI a bit though, theres an awfull lotta text sitting there.
Im Feelin it
This is perfect, Everything works and enhances the phone. Cant complain
thx for the repo guide
NB: Your ZoomAdds thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572270 -- linked to in section 5) has been superseded by this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578420 -- the earleir one is a version that can't be uninstalled.
