Compatible and Uncompatible Applications Thread

[Pibe38]

I wanted to create this thread so we can post what apps we've tried and worked, or didn't work, or if there any issues with them...

I have installed:

• iLauncher 3.0.0.5
• PhoneAlarm Lite 1.58 + Jinks Clear Skin (modified by me)
• Resco Explorer 2007 + Registry and FTP addins
• IliumSoft NewsBreak
• IliumSoft eWallet
• SK Tools 3.1.6

Anyone else with iLauncher notice that the battery meter takes some time to reflect the battery level when you wake up the device?

Also, with the iLauncher task manager, I have tried to set the Phone application to be ignored but it doesn't work, after a while it comes back to the task manager. It also shows one Phone application for every phone related function; for example if both the dial pad and recent call log are open, the Phone app shows twice on the iLauncher task manager. Any ideas?

Here's a list of a my must-have apps... I have not tested all of them yet, however, I will post if I find trouble with any of them...

This is what I have on my Mogul...

• iLauncher - Task manager and tabs w/shortcuts on Today screen. - Works so far
  
• TodayAgenda - Powerful, and free, Today plugin to display Calendar. - Works so far
  
• SK Tools - Tools in general: clean temp files, tweaks, process viewer, etc. - Works so far
  
• NewsBreak - RSS reader. - Works so far
  
• eWallet - Keeps all your card numbers, passwords, etc. - Works so far
  
• Google Maps - Self explanatory - Free
  
• Resco Explorer w/Registry and FTP addins - File explorer replacement. - Works so far
  
• Palringo - IM application with PTT and picture support; currently in beta status with plannes support for MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, and others. App will be free with the option to pay for premium features. - Works so far
  
• PhoneAlarm - Today screen display of missed calls, messages, etc. Very skinnable and also provides profiles. - Works so far

Happens on my 6700 (6800 was ordered today...I'm slow) every time the phone wakes up.

Happens on version 3.0.0.5 as well. No idea. I searched on SBSH forums and found this thread

Pibe38,

I assume you downloaded spb mobile shell 1.5 which fully support wm6....

Jeff

[Pibe38]

@jeffH70: I have not installed Shell yet, but yes, I was even using 1.5 on my 700wx.

@jamesus: Congratulations on the order!

Weird thing is, on my 700wx after I set the task manager to not display the phone application it vanished completely and never bothered me again.

installed these on my girlfreinds ppc and they worked fine.

Opera V8.65
Aim 2.0
Windows Live Search
PHM Regedit
Pocket Rar
And last but not least, Test Today plugin for today screen picture dialing.

[Pibe38]

I finally got around to installing Spb Mobile Shell 1.5, even though it works well, it does not allow me to move the Spb Mobile Shell plugin within thw Today Screen, it's stuck on top... however, I was able to put PhoneAlarm on top of Shell on my 700wx so this is quote annoying.

Don't install XCpuscalar !!! freeze your ppc. i had problems with this application.

Pibe,

Did you use the beta or the final release? The final was out on Jun. 19. If you got it earlier then it must be beta.

Jeff

[Pibe38]

I got the final version from Spb main site, note the forum... however, I had also read this happens on the 6700, but Marty from PDAPhoneHome gave me the solution!!!

I tested it and works, change the entry and soft reset.

HKLM\SOFTWARES\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\SPB MOBILE SHELL
change TYPE from 5 to 4
