Hi Folks,

I know there is already a thread about software worth installing but these all seem to be freeware.

I'm just wondering if we can start a thread where people can put up a list of paid for software that is worth installing or not worth it? If there is already could someone please point me in the right direction?

If not, would you be so kind as to share what you have bought and why it is good or bad?

many thanks.

I have purchased a few great apps:

Cash Organizer - Money management program. Does graphs and budgets for finances and helps me track multiple accounts. I use this with my online banking to reconcile my bank account twice a week to know exactly where my money is at.

Backcountry Navigator - AWESOME GPS app that will download (from computer or device) US Forrest Service maps and tell you where you are on it. It will track your movement so if you go camping and hike for a couple hours, this will tell you where you are and you can find a quick easy way back. Must have for any outdoor people.

Nagivon - Turn by turn direction software for GPS. Not only does it do voice turn by turn but also says street names so I don't have to keep looking at my phone. On the freeway it shows real traffic signs and also lane guidance so it will actually tell you exactly what lane to be in when a freeway interchange or exit is happening. VERY cool app!

I'm a huge fan of Garmin XT for Nav. Not cheap, but in my humble opinion, very much worth it. I've also paid for Newsbreak (podcast catcher / RSS feed tool) - also very good.

Backup options

SPB Backup

and

Sprite Backup

Both are paid apps, but they're the go-to options for most members here when it comes to selective- or full-system backups to/from your winmo phone. They can even do the backups to a new phone or different rom on the same phone.

Music and Media

I would have to say of all the media players I have tried, nothing beats the latest version of Core Player. For just sheer ease of use and ability to handle multiple file formats this media player is as good as it gets.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mward28:
I definitely second Garmin XT. One of the features I use ALL the time is it showing the gas prices of all the closest gas stations.

I also think a good alarm/profile manager is a necessity.

Probably next month, apparently Samsung have started production. Expect them to be expensive though :(

Mobymemory.com is expecting a release date in Q1 2010 (I heard end of february 2010).

Wait and see...
[HD2 General] balane:
Any kind of specs released on them yet? Are they going to be Class 2 only?
[HD2 General] elyl:
I hear they're going to be 32Gb. ;)
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
Samsung officially announced they were finished and going to mass production in February, so should be available soon. Will be disproportionately expensive for quite some time, as all new flash memory capacities are. I will be buying at least one, maybe two, as soon as humanly possible after release so will post up feedback about compatibility for those looking for some hands-on confirmation that these are supported in our HD2s.

If past experience is anything to go by they will be Class 2 at release, and once they've milked us all sufficiently they'll release higher Class cards in order to take more of our hard-earned.

I have a compatability problem between my new HTC Touch Pro 2 and my new Volvo XC 60 as detailed below. HTC say the following

The Bluetooth stack refers to the suite of protocols that are compiled to provide Bluetooth functionality. At this time, there is currently no official software available that will correct this issue. It may be possible for you to obtain third-party software

Is there anyone who may know if such a Third Party Software provider who can resolve this, many thanks

Regards

Symptoms of failure of the Bluetooth set up

Does dial out but doesn’t ring inside the phone

Does connect to other end but no voice can be heard at either end

Does download the phonebook

Background

Phone shipped as HTC Touch Pro 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 – ROM 1.86.401.0 (401 Designates English)

Car delivered as follows Volvo XC 60 – 04.22_R Bluetooth

Phone publicised on Volvo Cars web site as compatible

Firmware must be version ROM 1.19.413.2

Downgraded the phone to ROM 1.19.413.2, phone becomes Swedish + Windows Mobile 6.1

Downgrade the phone to ROM 1.19.401.1 phone becomes English + Windows Mobile 6.1

Without setting up the e-mail the phone becomes compatible with car Bluetooth for voice and phonebook

Setting up e-mail the phone returns to the original issue as per symptoms

Upgrade back to ROM 1.86.401.0 + Windows Mobile 6.5

Without setting up the e-mail the phone becomes compatible with car Bluetooth for voice, says that it downloads the phonebook, but no data is available from car side

Setting up e-mail the phone returns to the original issue as per symptoms

Yesterday upgrade car so that latest version of Bluetooth for Volvo is installed namely 04.23_R

Phone has ROM 1.86.401.0 + Windows Mobile 6.5 installed and email set up, upgrade fails to resolve problem

I hope that this makes sense, if please mail

There are several threads in this forum that provide some answers.

I have a new S80 - experienced the identical problem to yours - and I did the following registry changes:

BlueTooth Fix:

1.Navigate to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\

Click "Values" soft-key

Change "00001001" value to 1 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 2)

Change "00001005" value to 40 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 16)

Reboot device.

2. Modify the HandsFree plug-in:

HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree

i. Change SupportedFeatures to 45 (default is 1135)

ii. Add value HFBDA binary, set to same value as LastConnectedBda

iii. Add value HFDeviceType decimal 2

3. Modify the WIDCOMM bluetooth general settings:

HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\General

i. Change bdaddr to (no value)

ii. Change DisableReopenAudio to 0 (default is 1)

4. Reboot device

To find other threads on this forum (and PPC Geeks) search for "Pairing bluetooth with car".

I have had quite similar problems with my HTC TP2 an a Volvo V50.

Then I found out that there was an update of the BT-software of the car. The Volvo-Service installed the free update of the software in the car. Now it works fine without any problems.
[HD2 General] jwillans:
Hello,

I often use the phone in landscape mode in my car. I would like to get the home screen and call screen (displayed when making or receiving a call) to rotate to landscape display. I've noticed that the call screen sometimes rotates to landscape but then very quickly back to portrait. I've managed to get the home screen to rotate to landscape using the rotate hotkey hint and tip. Is there a way of making this behaviour happen by default when the phone is rotated?

Thanks,

James
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
How did you manage to rotate the home screen ? I know there is a tip using rotate.exe .. but I could not find it.

I would like to rotate everything manually.

Anyway my phone application rotates correctly with no problem. Actually I hate it :-)
[HD2 General] Archer:
I didn't think that you could rotate the current version of Sense (except of course photos & videos and the music tab).

Dr.Sid, if you want manual rotation, give PLToggle a go, in my signature :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nlohani:
[/B]As M2D has now been successfuly ported on VGA devices, many VGA device users are willing to have VGA themes. We already have a huge collection of beautiful M2D themes for QVGA, but nothing for VGA.

Luckily I managed to convert these to VGA with few simle steps, which I want to share with the community as a little contribution from my side.

What you need to have:

1. M2D VGA pre-istalled in your device

2. QVGA theme "zip" file (Any M2D theme you want to convert in VGA)

3. Throttle Theme Rescale Tool (Attached)

(Please note that this useful tool is developed by APBilbo for throttle launcher & it works perfect for any theme as it accurately resizes the PNG files from QVGA to VGA. So all credit for this goes to him)

4. HTCHomesettings.xml for VGA (attached)

What you need to do :

1. Unzip the QVGA theme content in a new folder

2. Use theme rescaling tool on this new folder. This will resize all PNG file in this folder to fit your VGA screen.

3. Replace the HTCHome settings.xml file in the folder with the one attached.

4. Zip the folder & copy in your device

5. Add and install the theme with M2DC

------------You are done ! Enjoy the theme of your choice :p -----------------

Note : The 3rd attachment is a beautiful theme converted from QVGA to VGA which you can directly install & check before you start converting other themes. All credit for this theme goes to the designer of the original QVGA theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rajeshjamnadas:
Hey whichever i tried, after installing i realize that it is for QVGA than I have to uninstall it.

Can you please also attach a working VGA M2D so that it will be easier for newbie.

Thanks,

I like the Manila2D UIR a lot. I use it now for 2 months and it's very good even aon a device with only 128MB RAM.

I'm going to check your posted method after I reflashed my device. Thanks for clarifying how to do it. I will post my Q here if I have any :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nlohani:
Glad that you find it useful. M2D is definetly the coolest UI I have come across. Was missing it badly when I switched to DX900 from ZINC (QVGA to VGA device).

If you want (and if this is OK with the original designers), we can post our converted themes here in this thread to share with all. ;)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nlohani:
Can you list down what all programs you have installed from M2D package?

Try installing programs like 'google maps', 'youtube' etc in storage card instead of main memory.

Tips & Tricks, issues & solutions:

1. Manila Landscape mode

Manila Landscape is enabled by default, but it's not stable and may cause blackscreen with Taskbar, and the phone does not respond to finger touch anymore.

To disable Landscape,

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA]
"EnableLandscape"="false"

2. Phone Orientation Gesture

Try to flip your phone upside down, it will go to Suspend Mode. ;)

Courtesy of TouchLockPro.

3. Hold Start button, End button Gestures

Fully exploting Ameba features, I have configured hold Start button for Task Manager

tap End button will minimize the app; hold End button will close (force close) the app

You can modify the settings via Start -> Tools -> Ameba Settings

4. Resco Explorer can be uninstalled.

Resco Explorer is auto-installed during ROM installation. You may uninstall from Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs, if you don't like it, or register to keep it.

5. Dialer number pad may be disappeared when Send button is pressedin Landscape mode.

try to rotate Landscape / Portrait at the phone dialer screen. It should be able to get back. If not, force rotate by holding the Send key button.

6. Change Max Manila Wallpaper

You can toggle wallpaper mode from Max Manila settings. B "default background", P "Panorama", F "bg4all", H "only Home screen, all other tabs are B mode's".

For "B" mode, use Menu -> Home Wallpaper to change from default Black background to your favourite background.

For "P", "F" and "H" mode, you can resize your favorite background wallpaper image to 1024x768, and save as filename MaxBackground.jpg. Copy it to \Windows\ . Refresh Manila.

7. Recommended method to flash MaesusLeo ROM

MTTY method. It simply works. It really cleans up the ROM. Here is how I do:

Press-hold Volume down + Power on the phone, attach USB port. Wait until "USB" text appear at bootloader screen.

run MTTY.exe. Wait quite a while until a config window popup. Select USB port. Enter.

type "set 14 0". Enter.

type "task 29". Enter.

type "task 8". Enter.

While the phone turns black to restart, press-hold Volume Down to boot to the SPL screen again.

Run LeoRUUcustom.exe from PC and install the ROM.

more details please read the MTTY thread in the forum.

8. Digital Compass with "Set Destination"

T-Mobile ROMs (OEM 2.01 and above) updated Digital Compass package without "Set Destination" feature. Please use this cab from 1.66 if you want this feature: Link

9. Improving Battery Consumption

Try install this cab. Implemented in the ROM from V1.7 and above. For V1.6 and below, please install this cab.

10. Start Menu 3 columns?

This cab.

Bugs and fixes:

I hope this post can stay blank forever but unfortunately there are bug(s) discovered and I think is appropriate to let everyone know, and hope that some of you can shed some lights on providing resolutions or fix suggestions.

1. MarketPlace closed itself whenever trying to get connected. [root caused. To be fixed in 1.5]

For version 1.4 and before, change the Registry of the following

[HKLM\System\Versions]
"aku"=".5.7.0"

Or you may use the cab attached.

2. Blackscreen of death X-(

- The whole screen goes black and only Taskbar appear at the top. Hard buttons light lid when hard buttons are pressed, but the phone does not respond to anything. USB port / ActiveSync still works - using MyMobiler can force the phone to soft reset; can browse phone's contents from PC.

- I've no idea how to reproduce it but it only seems to appear after Direct Push Exchange + device encryption has enabled. So far no other users reported to have this problem. Only me?!

- after XIP mod, it should improve a lot, but not 100%. So maybe the root cause is not Device Encryption.

- Anyone using my ROM, or other ROMs that have the same issue, please post in the thread, I hope we can discuss more.

In landscape sometimes gone the numbers from dialers menu. Need reset. Can you fix that?

Settings in home screen that start when slide down to clock- what did they mean? B - black, H- home, right? But P, F,??? I'm very happy with this settings bar but i don't understand everything, so give me link - how to's? Changing the wallpapers in sense?, how it works?

Except landscape menu in all tabs seem everything else works just fine.

Go ahead! I look forward...
