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!
These are some apps I think make the TILT 2 better for everyday use. Some are for fun and some are enhancements. I will not waste time listing GPS apps cause most custom roms come with GOOGLE MAPS & BING and I think they safice as far as GPS apps go. Hope you like some of em.

Wow, if only we had a Sticky where we could put all these apps and it would be easy to find and others could contribute to it and make it really special.

Actually, there's a lot special about that thread. For one, it is a Sticky, making it easy to find, and it is in the Apps subforum where it belongs. For another, it has lots of useful posts from users with not only their ideas on helpful software for our phones, but many links to much of that software and even attached files that can be downloaded without leaving the thread.
You're right about your thread not being special (it's the only thing lame in all this). It has many of the same apps already in the Sticky and little of new value. Had you posted your list in the existing Sticky I'm sure someone might have found it useful, but by starting a new thread in the wrong subforum you've only added to the clutter that makes things hard to find and defeats the purpose of doing a search. Thanks for that.
Anyone know?
Maybe, I think the music folders shows up once you use that mass storage hack but its been advise that you shouldn't do that.
But then again, there's nothing wrong with zune. Easy and automatic syncing of pic/music/videos/movies/podcast. I've been using it since 1.0 and it pretty good, I will never go back to drag&drop. Don't have to go diving to folders for a certain file to drop, just open the software and drap and drop it, or let it sync automatically.
I wonder if Drop Box would work for music. I don't see why not, just you would have to pay because they only give you 2GB for free.
And video files? Im thinking of getting the focus, coming from Android.
What's with all these weird questions?
Zune is the music and video player for personal collections.
It also handles podcasts.
Dropbox won't be playing music for you. Since when was that a dropbox feature?
Do some research please. Search the forums as well as they have a wealth of knowledge.
Asking questions like this means you were too lazy to bother with research as this has been well known for a very, very long time.

This is a key problem with WP7 so the question will be asked until WP7 is fixed.
The current answer is, this can be done via a hack but is not guaranteed to work, and the resulting music is restricted to limited protocols: cannot be accessed as files by WP7 software and afaik cannot be organized by folders.

,Read his question, put not play. Yes you can use dropbox to PUT songs on the phone not PLAY.
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.
Where I can I download MusicShark.xap? I am aware that is not longer in the marketplace available

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).
for instance... Here's my playlist (indie, The Smiths, Mountain Goats, Josh Rouse, New Order, Wedding Presents, Balmhorea, etc...): http://hypem.com/#!/eric_sc2
Hi,
Does anyone know of an app (or apps) that allow me to use the Nexus 7 to manage my ever growing CD/DVD/Comics collection? I know there are a few apps out there but I'd need to be able to sync the data between my Nexus and my phone (for portability).
Also, do barcode scanners work on the Nexus?
Try XBMC. It does everything you need, movies, tv shows, pictures, comics and more. Its currently in beta so there is no official build for Android but if you do a quick google search you will see that there are unofficial .apk's to try. Check out forum.xbmc.org to find all of the info you will ever need to know. Its a very friendly community.

No, when I said collection I meant physical items, I want to inventory them (and keep that inventory in sync on multiple devices) so that I quit buying duplicates
Something like Evernote? You can take pictures of your collection, label the items, and sync across all your devices/PC.
At least I think you can do that.....
The Collectorz apps are excellent, but also kind of pricy. I use the gaming app and it works great.

Something like that yes, but one that doesn't need me to install anything on Windows or Mac (linux user). I'm trying out 'My Media Catalog' atm, it looks like it comes the closest to my goals of all apps I've found so far, but it still leaves a lot to be desired...
Next app to check will be Shelves...
