Most apps I use already mentioned in this great thread.

One I didn't see mentioned is Hyperspace, I played the demo and just had to buy the game (£1.99) it's my favourite game so far on Android - check it out its addictive when you get into it.

http://android-hyperspace.com/
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Sawkes:
Indeed its a very nice game and a responsive devolper.

I took contact to him about putting the game at www.slideme.com for us non-paid app countries. He was very positive about it, and I think he will implement it with the next version of Hyperspace :)

I've found a great service called Android Storage http://www.androidstorage.com/

You can upload music/vidoes/pictures etc. and use their apps to use the files on your phone. Updates will allow you to upload/download files on to your SD card.

I've listened to some music, and it works, but the usability of the software could be improved.

Seriously, how to access Android Market from HTC Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ZenorGR:
Just by lunching the Market application?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
In my HTC Hero, there is no such application :-(

No application named Market in my HTC Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Sawkes:
Ofc there is ><

Its called Android Market and is a stock part of the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
I seriously can't find the app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Sawkes:
Just go through the app list...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
Meh. There is no Android Market in my Hero. Only SlideME.

I've found the mobile version of Google Reader to be my favourite RSS reader, which surprised me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] trice1921:
BlueRSS is my fav news reader. It collects directly from the feed rather than from google reader which can be hours out of date. Also the developer listens. I emailed him about a problem, and in under 24 hour he'd released and update fixing the issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Sausageman:
I've found a great app that lets you upload/sync music online from your pc, then listen to it through a dedicated music player on your phone

Hello, all. Just bought my HTC Hero a couple of days ago, and I found the information shared here to be very helpful.

Now let me share some of my favorite applications thus far:

* WeFi - Automates the searching of free Wifi access around you. Very useful, allowing you to surf effortlessly if a free wifi access is within range.

* WallSwitch - Allows you to switch wallpaper at intervals you can set from a folder you can define

* Voice Caller ID - Allows the name of the caller to be called out loud, as long as the caller name is registered as a Contact.

* Metal Detector - Fun app that turns your Android phone into a metal detector. You have to scan using the camera side of the phone, and the unit has to be close to the object. Probably works by detecting the magnetic interference of the metal to the built-in compass.

* Wikitude AR Travel - Find interesting spots around you using Augmented Reality. You could also input your own geo-tags of places if you want to.

Keep Screen

Don't know if its already mentioned.. but;

keepscreen from the marked is very usefull, it can keep the screen on for every application you want, INCLUDING Phone!

So no more dark screen during a phonecall.

Google Sky

Just loaded this up. It is amazing, and all my mates with iphones want it and cant have it.....yet :D.

Basically you point the phone at the sky and it tell you what stars/planets you are looking at.

You can search for something eg mars and it will guide you to where it is in the sky (or below the horizon).

OK so it's not that productive, but it is amazing, and free.

Pandora resolution

For everyone who couldn't find Pandora in the market prior to October 11th, check again, especially if you are using the Sprint Hero. Pandora was made available upon the actual launch of the Hero, which was October 11th. Prior to that, it was not available for download. This holds true to some of the other applications as well, that require an "official" ROM in order to work.

Flying aces

For anyone that has played the flight control game on the iPhone, I just found 'flying aces' on Android! It's pretty much the same and I love it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
That's not true. It was available for download, and in the features apps when I got my Hero on Friday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dudeldei:
I had Pandora installed earlier, but it didn't work. I guess that the application itself also require that you are on a US network in order to function properly?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Idk. I am on a US network so I can't say otherwise lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dudeldei:
If my statement is true, then maybe it's possible to make something similar to Market Enabler for Pandora? To fake network location in order to be able to access/use applications like Pandora wherever you are :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
Pandora will almost certainly use IP geolocation (it does on the desktop) so this won't work. What you need is a VPN connection that gives you an effective US IP address. It's possible that a proxy server might work too, but I've noticed that a lot software that uses geolocation is getting clever enough to detect that your running through a proxy.

Navigation & Golf app?

I'm coming over to an HTC Hero from an Apple iPhone and am noticing some difference's in the way the 2 operate. The biggest issue I have is that the Number key is in the wrong place when typing on the keyboard and the space bar is too darn small.

Other than that, I like the phone and getting used to it. I'm looking for a navigation app like the iPhone had and it may be a user issue. What I mean is that when I opened an address and clicked the "reticule" in the bottom left on the iPhone; the blue dot followed me as I was driving; using the Google maps app.

On the hero, I can get directions from my current position to an address; but I can't figure out how get the app to follow my location and show me where to turn and such. What I have done was gone from point to point and waited for the dot to catch-up to me. Anyone know how to do this?

Also, I'm looking for a good FREE app to track my Golf round as well as yardage and shot distances. Does anyone know an app for this?

Oh snap man you know what I was actually about to post a thread with this same issue. Ive had mine for about 2 months now and never had a problem with it until today. I was using telenav and the market and listening to music when it froze up on me then I removed he battery then put it back in and it got stuck on the Android logo. It would have the animation of it starting but then after about 3-4 animations of the light on the Android logo it would freeze for about 5-10 secs then start the animation all over again left it like that for about 5 mins and it kept doing the same thing. So I decided to remove both my sd cad and sim card and still had the same issue. Then i decided to do a wipe and see if that help which I only did one wipe and it started working again not sure about your 3 times but mine started working after the first. But what were you doing when it froze? I just installed the NANO Theme For AHOME from MAPPN then as soon as it installed BAM!! IT FROZE!!

Guys,

Is there somewhere else who create an application that can make SDHC card as device memory?

Thanx.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] responderman:
The storage card can only be used as a storage card, not for device memory. nice idea though, it would be nice to have 16gb of ram:eek:

Regards

Jay
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
maybe this is not about ram but about having the sd card as primary partition, which might be possible although it has never been done before. in wm2003 the ramdrive was the primary partition and the "storage" was listed as a storage card. these days the storage is the first (and on most devices and roms only) partition. but when a ramdisk is added, it is listed as a storage card. that means the order of the drives is variable and a storage card could also be the first partition.

but what would you want with a theretical answer like that? an expert rom chef, who started with cooking wm2003 might know the answer or could do that for you.

but for all realistic means, you should simply try and save all documents, pictures, videos and music, install bigger programs, derive the cache for your browser, store email attachments all on the sd card. the only problems with completely leaving out on the internal storage, especially for program installation, is that it is slow.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TFGBD:
It should be possible but you will probably need to cook a new ROM to get it working. It's mostly just a matter of telling CE which mounted volume you want to mount as root for the emulated objectstore.

This document on MSDN should give you an idea of what to do:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885839.aspx

The MPx200's WM5/WM6 ROMs do this already. If you do this, keep in mind you likely won't ever be able to eject the card while the device is booted as the registry will be stored there. Now, maybe you could write some sort of app that would dismount/remount and reinitialize the registry at the press of a button but that doesn't seem too practical unless you have no choice as on the MPx200. Another workaround might be to store the registry hives on an internal flash partition and store the rest of the system folders on the SD card.

As for implementing the RAM/ROM based filesystem like in WM2003, I'm not sure. The Windows CE 5.x kernel used for Windows Mobile 5/6/6.1/6.5 certainly won't prevent you from doing it but I'm unsure the Universal's hardware can persist the ram contents between "soft" resets. If it can, then I imagine it's only a matter of using an NK.exe that doesn't force a clean reboot and using a different filesys.exe than the included ROM only/hive registry configuration it ships with. Heh, if you ever looked at the MS news groups you will see a whole bunch of posts by OEMS getting yelled at for using the ram based configuration in their beta WM5 roms. "Not supported" doesn't mean it can't be done and work, it just means MS doesnt' want you to do it for either marketing or other reasons.

The ramdisk you are talking about is very different from the Windows CE object store used in WM2003 and many current non-PPC WinCE devices.

They don't even use the same filesystem! The ramdisk driver commonly circulated on these forums basically just formats/mounts a chunk of RAM as a FAT partition. It can't be resized and appears to the OS as any other flash card. You can even format it with StorageTools or whatever. The dynamic ramdisk or objectstore is built into the WinCE OS. It uses a proprietary filesystem optimized for RAM usage that is closely integrated into the kernel. As I understand it, It's more like a database than a filesystem like FAT. The registry, files and DBs are all stored in the same internal format and then abstracted by the OS and it's APIs. It couldn't even be disabled until more recent WinCE versions.

THREAD CLOSED
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dvdjimmy:
Dear all,

since one week I have the TP2 and like it a lot. Until the TP2 I used to have an Iphone3G and now of course I have to change my user behaviour a little bit.

There is one big topic I would like to discuss here: DataConnections!

I have the problem, that I dont have a flat option for data from my provider. I have to pay by time and not by traffic. Hence I like to keep the time I am connected to the Net to a minimum!

Is it possible to realise the following with the TP2 (maybe with extra software)?

1. Mobile data connection only manually with immediate cut off after the transfer (for example if I press send/receive for mail). If I want to manually access the net there should be a short message box asking me to connect. Currently I have to use the CommCenter to switch data connection on/off. As I already use nodata to really cut off the automated connection behaviour, maybe this tool can also be used somehow to allow access and cut it off after the sending/receiving is done.

2. Wifi Scan constantly in the background (after manually switching it on) to scan for open networks or prefered networks. If some network is found, it automatically connects, checks internet, do all the other automated updates and stays connected until I manually disable wifi.

As you can see, I want to have some kind of automated, cost efficient, connection behaviour of TP2. The tool nodata, which I currently use is great to cut off the automated connection but is not very flexible :(

I am looking forward to exchange with you on that topic.

Regards,

dvdjimmy
