I know I’ve been on a bluetooth rampage lately – guess I need to go to the dentist (sorry, too easy). Anyway, there’s a nice little application from Shubaroo called Bluetooth Toggle that adds a ‘turn bluetooth on’ option directly into your phone’s menu. The benefit is that while you’re in a call you can … Read more
Herm should be a household name by now. He brought use Shake & Win, the Magic 8 Ball, the Dog Whistle and Peg Jump. Not a bad resume but he was just getting warmed up:) Herm has set his personal site live (hermssoftware.com) and with the launch come new apps and a new plan. He’s … Read more
Bluetooth has become a part of most of our daily lives and there are two apps that aren’t new (they’ve been in our forums) but we never discussed…so may as well do it now:) The first is BlueStarter which will automatically launch an application when a bluetooth connection is established. So you can launch your … Read more
I recently criticized the apparently award winning LG S-Class user interface for being too inconsistent, having too many screens, flows, icons, mess. Well, I was wrong! Or right? Or both??? Check for yourself – there’s a complete emulator of the S-Class UI in LG’s website and you can see it all in action: link to … Read more
For some of us that enjoy tweaking and skinning everything that’s on our devices and was a little board with the default Kinoma Play skins can now rejoice thanks to l3it3r of Mobility Digest and XDA Developers.
l3it3r has found the method needed to add new skins and is continuing down the path of a complete reskin. l3it3r will be creating a “how to” guide over the next couple of days after he experiments some more.
I know some chef’s have fixed this but us common folk have two basic nuisances involving text messaging. The first is that when we go to a text message (or reply to one) you have to tap the screen before you start typing. Otherwise, you realize that you’re typing and nothing shows on the screen. … Read more
Some of you have already taken the leap into 6.5 and the rest of us will eventually make it there as well. But most people using 6.5 will run into some problems with games. The reason is because of GAPI. Who? The Games API (GAPI) was a technology that allowed Windows Mobile 2003 applications to … Read more
Just over a month ago Steve made a plea to the developer of Crayon Physics to port it to WM and received a meh in response. Well Numpty Physics is here to the rescue (which is similar to Crayon Physics but open source). Numpty Physics is a strategy game with simple graphics. You need to … Read more
In conjunction with the MobileMatt Illumination theme (found here) I have been working on a Plug-in using MemMaid’s “Quick Clean” and “Reclaim RAM” and seems to work well with my Fuze and NRGZ28’s latest Titanium ROM. There is still allot of work to do such as CABing it up for release. (thanks oaa8 for pointing … Read more
I was just reading the headlines and noticed how much Windows Mobile users focus on the user interface (UI). Just think about it – Toshiba has that crazy one with the bold colors; Acer has a custom UI; Omnia has its widgets; Xperia has its panels; HTC is releasing TF3D 2.5 (that extra .5 means a lot apparently:)) and there are rumors about the HTC Sense interface. Personally, I am buying time before I upgrade to 6.5 and TF3D2 was great but started to wear thin on me so I’m going through UI’s like I go through underwear (one a month or so:)). Anyway, I figured we were due for a poll so everyone can share their thoughts on what interface is the best. And remember, there’s no right answer so cheating is allowed!
You know those windows signs that scroll words with the LED lights in them? Why not have one in your pocket?:) XDA member xiaojin1985 created a neat app that lets you take a phrase or a picture and turn it into LEDs. So you can write out a message to that car tailgating you in … Read more
Thanks to Shylomonster’s inquiry about good travel apps and David (Special) K’s follow-up, I have a tremendous free (or paid with additional services) app that will be a must-have for travelers. It’s call WorldMate Live and it does pretty much everything a traveler would need (except give free upgrades or a massage). I just installed it, downloaded my upcoming travel itineraries, and I’m all set to go. And I love the clothing-size converter!
