what do you consider to be the must-have software for Windows Mobile 6?
this will illicit a vast response.
my .02 cents worth......
a registry editor
a weather program
Pandora's Naked 7 beta 2 rom so I can install my must haves and not sacrifice storage or Ram!
I don't use any HTC stuff, it clutters my screen and the clock is just too big!
SPB Pocket Plus 4 (I like tabs with icons I can hit with my finger)
QMenu (does all the X functions of wstask and more, very little mem used)
PocketToolMan (excellent program w/small footprint on mem)
Pocket Weather 2
PocketInformant 8 (Must have to replace calandar and contacts)
Voice Command
Schaps Adv Config 2 (Latest, great for tweaking glyph and file cache etc.)
Schaps Java
Net Frame 3.5
TouchFlo Keyboard (nice keyboard, sort of a mem hog though)
VTap (Youtube/Google video & wiki in a fast easy to install program with built in player)
Extra's
Pocket Music Player (better than WMplayer + easy playlist and EQ)
Opera Mini 4 (fastest browser I have found! Can't download though)
IGuidance
GoogleMaps
MSN LiveSearch (nice hands free speech searches)
Opera 8.65 ( need this for tough webpages and downloads)
Pocket Radio (Sirius & XM interface and much easier than others)
Resco file manager (wifi network browser for easy transfer of files to SD card)
Occasional use:
Memaid
SKTools
That's about it!
Chris
Orb 2.0 - media streaming
HTC Home plug-in
HTC Camera Album
HTC Voice Recorder
HTCustom
Flashlight
Sleuth's PTT Fix
TCPMP
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial
PIM Backup
These are the first to go back on when I flash a new ROM...
Resco File Manager
O2 Plus 2.3
SBS Mobile Shell
IGuidance 4.0
Finger Friendly Contacts
MSN LiveSearch
Opera 8.65
It really matters what you use your phone the most for though...
entertainment, work or phone.

Some are older but it's a great place to start...
Total Commander
Two weeks ago I made a little application to convert any input video to MP4 compatible with our HD Touch HD.
At the beginning it was only for spanish people. It has been grown and now it's a big aplication and I want to share it with english spoken people.
Version 2.9f:

- Now uses SmPlayer (a graphic interface of MPlayer) as Standard Player to Play and preview videos.
- Modifies registry for assign Mp4ForHd as optional player for all supported video file extensions (added to 'open with' option in explorer).
Version 2.8c:
- Now supports 3gp files
- A new output video size, for standard mobiles: 176x144
- A new profile for that output resolution: Samsung
Version 2.8b:
- Now you can play any video with this program. In explorer, you must click right button of the mouse, and choose 'open with - Choose program.. - Mp4ForHD.exe'. Any video plays with MPlayer, no codecs required.
- Swedish language added
Version 2.8:
- Now in PSP conversions, if you choose X264 2pass, it really makes in two passes.
- Removed in options 'ProgressBar Method', because now it's unnecesary.
Version 2.7d:
- You can split a MP4 video file into another without reencoding. To use it, open a MP4 file and choose start and end positions. Then the 'Join Mp4' button changes to 'Split Mp4'.
Version 2.7c:
- Support for Turkish characters in subtitles (charsets cp1254 and ISO-8859-9)
Version 2.7b:
- Support for Traditional Chinese subtitles (CP950)

- 3 news charset for subtitles (cp1250,cp1251 and latin2). Cp1250 solves problem with letters š,č,ć,ž,đ.
- Solved bug that window was always on top.
Version 2.6:
- You can change drive vhere temp dir is. As default it uses unit where program is installed.
- A few remaining messages in Spanish have been changed.
- Some lng files have been renamed to avoid problem with installer in Vista (Español->Spanish, Català->Catala, Français->French)
Version 2.5c:
- Two new sizes in srt subtitles (6.5 and 7)
- Another minor bugs.
Version 2.5b:
- In Buttons without text (select,save,load,etc), is showed a Hint. Other esthetic changes.
- Danish language added
Version 2.5:
- You can select an external subtitle (srt), also in dvd, vobs and mkvs.
- Profile settings (max.resolution, codec, etc) in a new form, not in Options form.
- Autosave current pendent video queue when program exit. Autoload the next time that program is executed.
- You can save or load pendent video queue.
- If you cancel a conversion, video returns to pendent queue.
Version 2.4b:
- "Loss Quality when an importart change of frame" bug solved in X264 2 pass.
- Now subtitles in mkv videos runs correctly.
- In the edit form, the program shows the calculated videofile size in MB.
- Now in the edit form, you can change codec and max.resolution.
Version 2.4:
- Now you can encode video with ffmpeg.exe as well as mencoder.exe. It makes compatible videos with PDA and PSP. Some videos that didn't convert with mencoder, now can be encoded with ffmpeg. Ffmpeg doesn't support srt subtitles, dvd support, neither delay audio.
- You can select number of processors/threads. It's useful in Lavc, Lavc+, and ffmpeg (not auto-thread support). It can increase conversion speed in multi-core computers.
- Subtitle languages are now independent of audio languages. It's useful in Dvd and mkv, with different audio languages and subtitle languages.
Version 2.3c:
- Support for cyrillic srt subtitles
- Added Galego language
Version 2.3b:
- Now you can select the charset of the srt subtitles (ISO-8859-1 occidental, ISO-8859-2 Central Europe, and ISO-8859-7 Greek). It has been solved problem with ¿?¡! characters, with greek alphabet, and perhaps with central europe languages.
- You can select size of srt subtitles.
Version 2.3:
- A new codec named Lavc+, with more quality than Lavc, but a 30% more conversion time.
- Now in options form you can set output resolution ratio (not only Full or Crop to Device)
- You can make your own video settings profiles. Examples: HD Quality, HD TV Series, PSP, Diamond crop to Device, Diamond 16/9, etc.
- Now you can multiselect files in pending videos queue. After that, you can delete, move, or apply a profile to all the selected videos.
- A new button added, to deselect all files in pending videos queue.
- In the pending videos queue, now shows codec, bitrate, and output resolution.
- The buttons in main form, are enabled or disabled according to actual situation.
- A new button added in the Edit Page, to enable or disable video preview.
- Dutch language added.
Version 2.2b:
- Now you can select Audio Bitrate (160 kbps,128 kbps,96 kbps,64 kbps and 32 kbps)
- If Output File exists, it isn't replaced. Now the program gives it a secuential number (For example Video01.mp4)
- If conversion process is aborted, then Output File is deleted.
- French Language added.
Version 2.2:
- The program has been renamed to Mp4ForHD (Mp4 for Hand-held Devices). It's because at the beginning, it was thought for Htc HD, but now supports a lot of devices.
- 3 differents coding ways: X264 2 pass (as version 2.1), X264 1 pass (only 1 pass. Sligthly less quality, but less time to encode), and LAVC (a codec that i tested for PSP, but surprisely is supported by the Htc HD. It's ultrafast, only spends 1/4 time of X264 2 pass, although loses quality. It's ideal for TV series)
- Full support for the PSP (X264 and LAVC codecs). It creates a jpg with a miniature of an instant of the film.
- I think I have solved the problem with 'REAL' method of ProgressBar calc.
- Final resolution (when changing aspect and crop) is better calculated.
Version 2.1b:
- Now, you can select three different ProgressBar methods: Calculated (as versions 1.8..2.0), Real-Slower (15% slow conversion), and Real-Problematic (as version 2.1 that to some people doesn't run)
- Solved '000000001.jpg not found' error.
- Option 'trellis' of MEncoder has been deleted
Version 2.1:
- You can choose output crop ratio (1.33,1.44,1.55,...,2.66) as well as Full and Crop to Device (this two already present in 2.0 version)
- Added new output resolutions (Iphone,PSP,720x432,640x384,560x336 and 480x288)
- Two new bitrates profiles: Very high (normal*1.5) and Very low (normal*0.5)
- Now progress bar is exactly calculated (checks constantly MEncoder's output log).
- Since 2.0b version, cropdetect (black flags detect) is working in all computers.
- You can see all the commands send to MEncoder and MP4Box in a log box.
- Now if no DVD audio language detected, the program try to force the language assigned in options.
- DVD subtitles are now more readable, but with the same size (MEncoder can't make it larger)
- Deutch Language added.
Version 2.0:
- You can select three diferent bitrate qualities: high (normal*1.25), normal and low (normal*0.75)
- You can select 4 maximum output resolutions: 800x480, 640x480, 400x240 and 320x240
- Fixed the bug 'Division by zero'.
- Increased time to know cropdetect (perhaps it runs well to somebody, who befores not)
- A better adjust of step 1 expected time
- Italian language added
Version 1.9:
- Can ignore up and down black flags, usseful for DVDs and VOBs, and another video files.
- In DVDs and VOBs, asumes 16:9 aspect ratio
- M4V file support
- You can input an audio-delay when video and audio are slightly asynchronized
- Video is automatic scaled when width is greather than 800 (before only when video heigth was greather than 480)
Version 1.8:
- Support for avi, mp4, wmv, mkv, mpg, m2v, mov, vob, flv. Dvd directly rip included.
- Adjust bitrate to resolution output video (from 250 to 800)
- Lets crop to our HD ratio aspect (5/3), and change the input video aspect ratio
- You can add, change order, or delete videos of the video pending queue in any time.
- Supports srt subtítles (if a srt file with same name is present)
- If heigth is greater than 480, it scales video
- Shows complete information of the video to convert (resolution, framerate, duration, etc)
- If input video includes multilanguage (Dvd, vob, mkv), you can select audio language, and subtitles language.
- You can select for each video the start and end position, and preview the video.
- You can join Mp4 of same resolution (if a video is splited in two videos, you can convert each one, and after join them)
- You can select if computer hibernate/suspends or shoot down after converting process.
- If application is minimized you see actual progress.
- Multilanguage interface support (actually English, Spanish and Catalan)
If you want to traslate interface to your language, copy the english.lng file to the name desired, and then edit with notepad, changing each input for the traslated one. Please send me this file if you want it will be present in the next version.

Try it. In the spanish forums all the people use it instead 'HTC Touch HD Video Encoder'.
It's absolutly freeware, no donations admited.
can i use it for htc diamond??
does it support vga rez??

Yes, HTC Album of Touch Flo 3D makes the job. If you convert a video in a maxim of 800x480 you can view it perfectly in Diamond, at full screen, or with black bands.
yeah i need it withou black flags(bands), how can i get this??
Seems to work really well. The output is slightly worse than the output from Projections encoder, but its smoother. Its ideal for TV rips or non HD sources. Trying with an HD source file now.
Thanks for sharing this great utility

What about your HD source try?
Damn it is slow! How long does it take to convert a 700mb movie?

About 1 hour. It depends of your computer.
probably no multicore support?
does anybody know how to convert film without black "flags" on bootom and top?
hey, Jandre, could you please upload it to rapishare or megaupload? thanks. can not download on mediafire.
is it me....or do i not see any output files in the output folder....

As Mp4HtcHD user i highly recommend it, posted before in spanish forums and works like a charm.
Rgds,
Can you please at .m4v to your file filter.
Thats the extention for apple's DRM-free video from the itunes store, and your app converts it fine after the file is added (with some difficulty).
Surur
This is great, it converts my files without any problems. Best encoder I've seen so far. This deserves a sticky!
Use internal media player to play or use 3rd party player to play best?
Hello!
I 've already read the xda-wiki for the touch hd, but i doesn't find some for my mobile.
I'm searching for:
1) Flash player (to view Videos but on the website of adobe, is no download for the mobile)
2) Music-player with Alarmclock included (to use .mp3 for wakeup melodie)
and maybe other prog's to have more fun with the mobile.
At last - it's will be perfect, if the prog's have an opinion to change the language to german
I hope u can help me
And i'm sorry for my English
friendly regards
Schurly!
1. look for Flashlite 3.1 in the forum
2. look for G-Alarm in www.ageye.de
For music player with alarm included, even in german language, try MortPlayer
i used MortPlayer on my Artemis
and the alarm rings sometimes and sometimes not^^
thanks for the info
PocketMusic has an alarm.
Skyfire browser will let you watch flash videos online, but there isn't native WVGA available (although it will stretch VGA to fill a WVGA screen) so your pictures and content will look a little pixelated.
G-Alarm is probably one of the best alarm programs out there with the ability to show up on S2U2, HTC Home, Windows alarm as well as being able to go through a music playlist and other cool things like mazes, puzzles, quiz. I like the "shake-to-snooze" function as well =P
As my HD is on the way, I would like to get some nice apps downloaded.
I do the following thing with my current ppc (xda mini):
mp3 player (auto off function, needed for sleeping with music)
Ebook reader (txt,html, chm, pdf...)
GPS (for driving and jogging)
some games
system tweak
Would someone suggest some apps for all these tasks?
Just use the search button and i guarantee that you'll find everything you need
I would like to make a list of all apps I use, which should be the apps most people need.
The advantage and disadvantage of PPC is that they are too many apps for the same task. and the quality, stability are different from one to another.
That's why I think it is necessary to make a list
the apps one uses is not what the most people need.what is useful for me might not be useful for you and so on.The list is a very personal thing, it depends on personal tastes and needs.
have you seen this sticky?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663
Also not all applications are free.Some prefer freeware with limited functions and some other people don't mind paying for better software.
for example Gps Cycle is a good free sport Gps software but you can't compare it to the RunGPS UV(not free).
