Can anyone reccommend any apps which dont necessarily serve a purpose but are just cool to have on the Touch HD? Things like the diamond hologram and the lightsaber? Thanks.
btw, im sure this has been posted many times before but in this thread we're looking for cool gadget-type apps as opposed to games or tools which are useful.:
Look for the hologram software prepared for the Diamond. It works on the HD but you cannot zoom in/out because of the lack of hardware keys.

Thanks, but I kinda already mentioned the Hologram...
Sorry kinda skimmed through your post.
What about I Am Rich? Cloned from the famous iPhone app?
Also transfer some really high definition shots which are particularly in focus and sharp (|theres a difference|) and show em to people. Make sure they're bright too. The little HD screen is reall HD (high definition) in contrast to whats out there right now. Sure the Experia has the same screen resolution (480x800) but the screen is too small to actually allow one to enjoy the high resolution.
i always liked the guitar and piano tuning programe its freeware and always cool esp if your friends acan actually play and instrument. do a search its in the list of working programs
I lot of what you need is covered here in a similar thread:

Ive already got some nice pictures to show off the HD, but thanks for the idea.
The thread was kinda helpful but towards the end made me feel as if i had chosen the wrong device (touch HD over iPhone) as, at the end of the day, im the type of person who wants an entertainment device as opposed to one gears towards productivity. The Touch HDs GPU doesnt help things either...
Anyway, back on topic, any other apps? Thanks for your help so far
well u already mentioned apps like diamond saber , diamond beer .
u can try omniano , if u havent already
other windows mobile apps like g alarm or g watch made by members here look cool on the big screen .
or i contacts / sms chat
cant think of more apps but u can edit touch flo 3d use transparent clock or different themes etc. or maybe winterface ... it looks good on the hd
Any more Apps?

That one was nice
I find the best way to show off the HD is to have a high resolution, high quality video, then play a bit of it to people. That gets wows! I've had mine since mid November and it still makes me go "wow" when I play videos encoded using the Encoder GUI from this forum!
That really does work better than it sounds. Thanks.
Any others?
Try MusicID - a guaranteed hit.
It used to be freely available, however there was some discussion whether it was freeware of shareware.
Music ID is awsome... I honestly dont know how I managed without it. Trying to recall half a lyric I thought I heard while I was drunk. I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago. It's still free as far as I know. Obviously it connects to the net to get the data, so if you're not on WiFi then you'll be charged by your network for data.
"quickmark" is good fun. (just mentioned it in another thread) It's a kind of barcode scanner, but only scans 2d barcodes. Still good fun, especially creating them for friends.
any others?
It's amusing to offer to save their internet connection, by setting up your WM phone as a Wifi router and allow them to use your connection.
Most amusing for iPod Touch users who don't have a data connection at all, but can use Wifi!

yes. I play it on linux on pc now, it runs stable and fast...
wow! please some one make this work! i'll be a tester too! i love baldurs gate and if i can play it on my hermes it will be amazing!
hey! developers! nobody loves BG&PST? (
Great ideas Guys hope they post this soon while am waiting al just play Doom 1,2, TNT etc. and Dukenuken 3D on my WM cant wait for this lol
Seems to me it would be an easy job, as all you would need to do is have the proper dependencies. http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=16785
This forum has a post about it, with a link to installation instructions. I don't have time to hassle with it now, but looks like you need a few libs installed and thats it. If anyone wants to try gof or it! Seems like all we would need is a CAB to install dependencies, and that youtube vid was a year ago, I am sure there is a way now.
Baldur's Gate would be the best and looks like the entire focus of the development. Problem would be that it would be VGA only. I don't see this working on a qvga screen. The original game was 480x640 with BG2 being able to play at VGA or higher.
well, i searched for a version of gemrb for ppc but found nothing on google... if any of the developers could create one it would be great! i really want to play baldurs gate on my hermes!
Oh man this would be awesome on my Touch HD. Good find! Now hopefully the gurus around here will take a look and get it working.
The last (and only) time I tried to port a python game to Windows Mobile, I was stuck at getting pygame to run. This seems to have less dependencies so might be easier.
I love the 2D series of RPGs but GemRB is nowhere near complete yet.
Well am not a programming guru but you Guys keep saying that its easy to port thats Good but can you tell us if your porting right now and we should wait for it to get completed or no body started yet I really wish I can help but again am not a programer al leave this to the pros
wow, this would be AWESOME if someone could get it to work!
If someone wants to try porting, here is a post with links to WinCE versions of the required libraries. I haven't tried any of them and the link is in Russian.
... made by the original poster, no less
because i am not a programer, if you csn tell me what to do, i am will to try my self... and where to find the games?
The games? You have to buy and prepare them for GemRB yourself. There was some discussion of fanmade games for GemRB but it is a lot of work.
Porting such a program is not a trivial task and is impossible for a non programmer.
yes, i am sorry, i figure it out about the games after that post... it's good then i have all the series of bg and IWD in my home... so, if i can not do anything because i am not a programer, as i said before i am willing to beta test so please, anyone can make it happend?
anyone?
I want this to happen! There's gotta be somone out there who can do it!
This would...
This would change my life! (well my free time)
FOR EVER! (for at least 2 weeks until I complete it again.)
I have such warm fuzzy memories of this game. Imoen the theif girl who I am sure I managed to pull.....
Hours and hours of clicking frenzy.
Never Winter nights 2 just never grabbed me in the same way that these old games did.
I really hope that this can be done. I am unable to sit in front of my PC and replay this as I have so many things I wan to play and look at. Having this on mobile wouyld be perfect!!
I've looked through search and ive looked at the list of applications on the wiki, which im sorry is terrible.
whats the point in having something called eagleeyes when no one that read that would know what it was?
anyway i'm wanting to know if there is a website like http://www.ipfun.org/ or http://www.iphone-shaq.com/ or http://www.iphonewiki.com.au/iphone-games/
they seem to show all the apps and games and what not for iphone as well as tell you about them and whats their good for or not.
i'm having great difficulty finding the programs i would like.
a good gps that works in australia
a few good games such as texas holdem
a good media player that will play my music videos and movies (coreplayer doesnt work as the picture is all jitty and jumps everywhere)
a what of making the volume button not so sensitive as i seem to press it by accident all the time.
and a good weather app that will work for my town, the ones you go to online have my town in them but the one on the htc touch hd dont have one within 200kms of me.
i'm also sorry if i offend or offended anyone i dont mean to, this site is a great website but it isnt in the slightest user friendly at all.
why cant there just be an XDA HTC TOUCH HD wiki, go in there and then its a whole website on what you need and want for the htc touch hd?
1) ROM
2) Games
3) themes
4) applications
it would be so much easier for everyone i think...
mods please remove this if this is innappropriate, im not flaming anyone in particular just voicing my opinion/questions/help.
xtrakt ...awesome game for the HD and its a MUST HAVE - Full screen too
Real Dice MC poker to solve your texas holdem cravings.. downside is that it is not full screen but everything else works fine
Resco Bubbles ......great game similar to Teeter
Archibalds Adventure works great!!!
Boom Blox too..
Pocket Uno ..... Monopoly World .... Resco Brain Games.... Virtual pool Mobile..
These are the games i tested so far and works without any problems....
Happy gaming.....watch the battery usage though

This hasn't been done as it would take too long. List in wiki at present tells you which apps/games work. Its up to you to find out what they are.
Wiki is available for everyone to amend. If this means so much to you why not amend wiki yourself and create this improved list with descriptions of games etc
I agree that Apple help their customers better and provide information I would think was basic. Hopefully HTC will learn and hopefully improve
Would agree with previous person that Xtrakt was well worth getting on your HD, awesome game as is Need for Speed Undercover!!
Good luck on your new list!!!
Simply check my signature !
Btw, i can't make run bloombox on dutty ROM :S
well thats a good response from everyone, thankyou very much, ive never ammended wiki or posted on wiki before so ill give it a go and see what i can come up with.
ive now found a fiar few games, what about all the types of games that come on the iphone? like ifishing and the likes. there aqre a lot that use the gyrator type style to play the game. most of the games and apps ive found are real buggy and crash or arnt full screen. it seems that the iphone has better games and easier usage but the htc has more in it as its a windows device. it just seems really hard to get things to work!
just post the games, there are many developers that can fix the bugs andmake them HTC HD READY !
thaanxz to all
especially to you, WinterKnights
not too many for wvga out there yet im afraid. These are the games i have so far that work full screen 15 puzzle, all-in hold em by birdsoft, boom blox, monopoly here and now, pocketgrandmaster 4, resco bubbles, tiger woods 09 by EA sports, need for speed undercover with gsen support and touch support and xtrakt
see i like the games like resco bubbles and teeter
bubble breaker is good to still need to find a good holdem game.
Hello guys , do you know if exists a cab or a patch created for download Youtube videos on WM 6.5 ?????
Thanks
Closest thing to a youtube downloader is youtubeplay, as far as I know. It's a separate program that can play or download youtube videos. The only drawback is it only works with the lowest quality videos.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2660344&postcount=1
This program is OLD and isn't useful with WM 6.5 . I would like to see a cab that add to original youtube player a tab for download videos ...like the Palm Pre or iPhone "jailbreaked" ...
Developers , GET UP !!!!!

um....really? Sure you don't want to rephrase that request a little? Unlike the devs on your planet, ours don't just sit around waiting to be ordered into action by an anonymous party with an immdiate "need"
"...Does anybody know of anyone working on this type of thing now, or anybody who might be interested in giving it a shot? I'd be happy to provide input and feedback to anybody that is, or would. Thanks in advance!"
-there, I fixed that for you

i like your response, but unfortunately he's right. i just tried it with no luck.
This video comes from a china forum（ the previous one also comes from that forum）.
There is the video:
h**p://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjIwODA2NDQ4.html/v.swf
**=tt
You can compare with the previous one.
Both of them come from a china developer,Maybe a HTC insider？
this is just amazing... it looks like it's real, i think it is.
but can it be a theme? If it's a theme, he has not made it exact the same as the Surround. I mean, if you can make theme's so perfect, why make such big changes as for example the boot screen. on the surround its black background with green logo, and on the HD2 its a white background with a blue logo?????
I think its real and its coming!!!
yes, it's from Xda.cn, the developer is not from HTC, he/she maybe a seller of the HD2.
the video seems real.
p.s. the calling interface is so simple...
It´s coming!
Just a little patience

The build ported to HD2 may be the older version and as you can see it doesn't have HTC OEM packages installed.
May be the porter used the MS WP7 SDK kit to port.
it is a real old build , look at the "Music + Videos" on the hd2 and "Music & Videos" on the wp7 phone .
edit , could it be a leaked test build from HTC it self ?

Well who knows until it leaks all over. Hopes are getting bigger again, lets see what happens.

no new builds can be port to hd2
unless there are updates for recent wp7 phones i think.
Cool beans, i wonder when the ROM will be readily available
amazing video
Think also its real, just a matter of time
there is a second new video of wp7 on hd2
youtube

i m bit eager to get wp7 on my hd2 now

I tried to say, that it has to be real. because íf it's a theme, he would likely made the theme exact the same as on the Surround. and that isn't but further i don't nothing about this, and my deep respect for those who have, and made it so fast
This is just my opinion but I honestly prefer WM 6.5 over WP7. It just reminds me too much of the closed off Iphone interface. It looks like my sister's Zune. And that to me defeats the purpose of having a phone if your crappy Media player can look exactly the same. Again, just my opinion

Yeah you are right too. I don't understand why all OS are slightly following iphone interface. like example on WM 6.5.x, the lockscreen is similar to slide to unlock in iphone.
Like on iphone I see lot of icons, in WP7 I see tiles.
WM is totally different and isn't comparable with other OS. Windows Mobile and may be Android also is a pocket pc but iphone, wp7, and etc are just phones aka smartphones.

It's still the 6077 build Not RTM...
the most direct way to get the answer is call the phone numbers show in the video. plus 0086 as the country code.
