i tried to sign up deepfish but it has expired i have the cab someone posted but no reg key so.
is there any other browser that is similar to deepfish available for wm6
Yea it's called Picsel Browser. you can find it somewhere on here or google it
The beta version of Mini Opera has a very good page overview feature, which is a good step forward.
Browse to mini.opera.com on your phone or go to http://www.operamini.com/beta/
Picsel browser is really really bad. It was a good concept, but it really poor implementation.
The new Opera Mini beta does an ok job, but still being a beta, it is rather buggy.
I think the key issue here is WTF happened to deep fish? Microsoft pushed it aside and to the bottom of it's list like it does with ALL Windows Mobile stuff. Such a shame MS doesn't care more about the mobile market.
Deepfish wasn't anywhere close to release, it was a development "sneak-peak". I'm sure they're still working on it. As for Picsel, it was a great browser for it's time. Don't know why you think it was poorly implemented. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of what we require in a browser nowadays, but neither did any of the others when it came out. And as for Opera Mini, it only has overview and zoomed in modes, nothing in between, which makes it just as useless as all the current ones in my opinion. Still waiting for Opera Mobile 9 to come out.
I assure you, they have had how many months to make it work? And they haven't done anything with it...
Face it, MS doesn't care a bit about the mobile market, we will never see any real effort from MS. I'm pretty convinced they have 2 guys there that are their mobile development team, lol
I tried DeepFish months ago and it had some promise. But, MS would drag their feet on fixing the reported bugs. Also, the beta would not allow cookies even though this had been a priority request of the community. I dropped it due to lack of MS support.

I totally disagree. Picsel browser is a fantastic piece of software and one of the first things I install after a ROM update. Not only does it to a bang-up job for daily browsing, but it is my default viewer for all documents, especially PDF and graphic files.
OP, seriously, give it a try and see for yourself... ESPECIALLY for docs.

The problem is it is a poor implementation , the software itself is amazing !
I've used this softawre in my E680i , no doubt , it is excellent when view M$ office document and PDF file .
So the problem should be Picsel never intend to release a general version of it's software , only for specific device ...
Ummm ... I wonder what it will looks like if a Hermes version is available .
Hmm... I don't get what the problem with Picsel is?! I never experienced any problems... No crashes, no memory errors. And I use it regularly especially for web-browsing...
i googled for Picsel browser but couldnt find any download links!?
mkmonkey: we hacked out the Picsel browser from a Samsung rom some time back, and there were any device compatible versions released. However, due to copyright reasons we were asked not to distribute it. I'm sure you'll be able to track it down though.
If you do find a copy on the board, please notify me so I or the other mods can delete it.
However, IMHO, I like it very much. There are other browsers, probably Opera or NetFront, that work more "robustly", but Picsel works nicely, and makes a good light doc viewer and pdf viewer as well, so all in, it's a good compromise. I used it for several months and it made my mobile browsing experience (on the Universal, VGA, with some hacks to make it a good deal sexier) significantly more enjoyable then Pocket Internet Explorer.
V
hmm ask not to distribute huh?
well, mabye u could send me a PM with a "hidden" link, when picsel isnt watching .
edit: nvm, found it.
Problem with Picsel is that it does not always create its own internet connection. On a XV6700, you have to open a connection first (by send/receive email or opening PIE) before launching Picsel. This is a pain to do every time. For this reason, I use it only when I need to view documents close up. Also does not seem to work with flash. Why WM devices still ship with such a crappy browser is beyond me when there are so many better alternatives, but with spotty flash support.
My biggest problem with Picsel was that when you scrolled, it did not render on the fly. You had to stop for it to display the new section of the page. Anyone have a version that did it properlY?

I posted a workaround for that problem, maybe you're interested:

In that thread you find a small helper-program which you can bind to a key on your device to manually establish an internet-connection without having to start PIE.

I don't think so, you remove the very good interface and you get a mediocre browser.

Uhm, what did that have to do with the sentence you quoted?
How do i use a proxy connection with the Picsel browser?
As far as I know Picsel does not support a proxy... Which is bad because most WAP flatrates depend on proxies... :-/
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
Hi guys,
I Found the Facebook application of xperia phone on the net. The only problem is that you can't start it is because you need the xperia panel system.
Now my question is: Can anyone make this app work on the Touch HD or other phones (without making use of the xperia panel system)?
Any voluntiers for this job or is it simply impossible?
Damn, this is the same questions I was about to ask. It's been 18 days since your post, someone must know something, or be working on something by now.
Or alternatively use the search function on this forum!
In the Developing section there is a thread about this and someone has already tried to port the FB Xperia app onto WM6.1 without much success.
Regards
Xperia's Panel system is used as a framework for applications, so if this Facebook Application use it, I don't think you can easily use it without the panel system.
The only chance is to port the panel system correctly.
just use opera and link: http://m.facebook.com .... it is the best.....!!
put this link to your fav !!!
I have it as my homescreen you can use as well iphone.facebook.com but I don't like it as much as the original mobile site.. Just try both and use the one for your needs. The only thing I miss in the mobile facebook is the chat, other I have everything. hehe, I even forgot how the normal facebook page looks like
greets, cad^^
Well guys I use http://iphone.facebook.com/ ... for now... I see a lot of interesting facebooks apps being made for wm but none have really been released. We'll just have to wait some time
yeah the iphone site seems to solve all needs for an actual app. Thanks for the tip.

I tried Snap2Face last year and it was fine. I just don't do much photo snapping with the HD (for obvious reasons) and uploading to facebook is mostly from my excellent Lumix FZ28
am I the only one that cant get the http://iphone.facebook.com site to work. It brings up all the tabs but no info displays. I'm using the stock AT&T rom. Do I need to upgrade my Opera version?

Guys, you obviously don't know that there is a leaked new Microsoft Facebook app that works quite well on Touch HD!
I have installed it few days ago (search the general forum) and have been very happy with it. Some bugs, yes, but it's like 0.4 version, so it's really early beta.
However, lot of cool functions are there - my favorite: Facebook phonebook! It lists all your Facebook friends that have entered their phone numbers or e-mails and sorts them into alphabetical order. Very useful if you need to call someone and you don't have him / her in your Contacts.

Hi Rozenthal,
I am using this at the moment as well. It is a nice start, I hope MS are doing something more than that. If you look at the video of the Xperia Facebook app, then that's the way to go. It is also based on Windows Mobile, but it uses part of the SonyEricsson panel framework, that's why it might be hard to port it over to other phones.
I expect a lot more apps coming in the next time who are a bit more interactive and more than just a bunch of lists. I am also missing something like the INQ1 from Three already has and is expected on the Palm Pre which does full integration with the phonebook.
If I had some know how of the Facebook API and somebody who is better with graphics than I am, I would love to do something based on the .net CF framework...

Yes, I think for such an early beta it's very promising. And I'm without doubt that this app is only a hint of what's coming on WinMo regarding Facebook integration. I don't have to remind everyone that Microsoft is quite a large Facebook share-holder, so I would guess this alone will enable them to produce better app's then what the competition has to offer.
Not to mention what's gonna happen when Microsoft launches it's WinMo app market system.
As for the full Facebook - WinMo Contacts integration, there's a hint of it on latest Dutty ROMs. There's Facebook integration support that will enable the user to associate his phonebook Contacts with Facebook accounts. Probably with Calendar as well. The integration does not function yet, tough, but it's pretty easy to guess what it would do.
I've been discussing the theoretical functions of this ever since first Manilla3 ROM came up. I predict that it will pull data such as birth date, phone number, e-mail, contact photo, home address etc. directly from Facebook and integrate that information into WinMo Contacts. I also assume that it will pull "upcoming events" into Home screen.
Btw, from what I know (not much ) Facebook API is very stiff and far from being friendly for 3rd party apps pulling data out.
Indeed, it works perfect on the touch hd.

When this post was made, the new facebook program didn't exist! And as I already said, this thread is closed...
Try this app. Its works for me
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:

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.

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

Great thread!
I am not the dev but there is a free GrooveShark client out in the MarketPlace so I thought it should get more exposure.
It's very functional and just needs a tiny bit more polish. The sound quality is great even through 3G.
MOD EDIT: Please post app recommendations in WP7 General, as the Apps and Games section is for app release's only as stated in the sticky I made.
THanks man. Been waiting for a GrooveShark client.
Awesome. Seems to work great over 3G though it needs a better way of adding multiple search results to playlists/queue.
Nice. And free !
The interface just needs to be more polished indeed.
Interesting. Too bad Grooveshark isn't going to support WP7. They are open to the idea so with enough support you never know. Keep bugging them via forums and twitter.

I think I might have it at home. Pity I restored my phone to NoDo not realising I couldn't unlock it again.
bah, I hope GS isnt deliberately flagging these clients if they dont plan to produce their own. Methinks they made a deal with a competitor :/
Here's the xap
I installed the xap file on my windows phone (E900 7.10.7720.68), but it didn't work. Loading failed with a message, "An error was presented, you have internet conectivity?"
So, I decompile the xap and found out, the server to get the grooveshark data from grooveshark's server is no longer working.
Can anyone use this app?
For people who really love music,
I would recommend the "The Hype" app for WP7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145616
It gives access to all the Hype Machine catalog. Hypem.com is a great & free music blog aggregator.
You can make a search, select the songs you like, make a playlist (which will also be available on your PC).
