Hey,
I am creating this post because wherever I go, people have this misconception that the WinMo doesn't have apps, its not user friendly etc etc. From what I have seen in the forums ( hear hear ), I have found out that its one of the most customizable OS's out there. People say that Android has more apps, well you are not going to use all those right ? Blackberry has push blah blah. I will discuss the apps which are cutting all these platforms one by one ! These are the most essential ones, and i believe that these will be more than enough. Please add whatever you feel necessary.
Recently bought an HTC HD Mini phone. ( This is my first Smartphone btw ). After going through a lot of apps, apparently most of them are for VGA/QVGA screens.
Messaging
What Blackberry, Apple and Android promote is the concept of messaging. They have 1000's of apps for chatting etc. Palringo is one of the best messaging clients available there. Instead of downloading separate chat clients for all separate chats (like bb), better to download Palringo. You will say similar apps are there for bb n stuff, but thats the point right ? This post is for all those bb,android snobs u must have met after buying an HD Mini or HD2
Push Email
Oh, aren't those BB people charging that much money just for enterprise push email ?? And haven't you spent a fortune looking for a perfect push email solution ?? And most of winmo phones provide one sync accounts. Is this your problem ?? Well Emoze Pro which btw is free, lets you push-manage n-number of email accounts ( in my case, n=5) and its real time push. You can add n office accounts also, with OWA ( Outlook Web Access ) and Google Apps. Isn't it amazing ? The BB just got a kick in the nuts .
Interface
Well, now that we have beaten the #%$ out of the bb people with those 2 nifty apps , lets take a go at the android people. And this will be useful for those who have used sense ( there are mods for getting sense on your older phones but not sure) or some other awesome interface. Sense in my opinion is byfar the best interface available ( on my HD Mini atleast n same in HD2 with liveweather ), but if you get bored of it then obviously you have got SPB Mobile Shell.. You have to use it to experience it and I am sure you agree And how can you forget the beautiful S2P player and S2U2 utility with their beautiful sync and caller ID !! Must haves !!
Other Useful apps include :
FIM ( Facebook Instant Messenger )
Shazam
IM Plus
Premier League Pocket 10
Coreplayer
Please update more apps for the devices. I know these apps are more than enough for me ! But if you can post more I will add them !
GO WINMO !
Well, here is my list:
-G Quickswitch, it changes automatically your profiles when you need it, very useful for me coz i change between normal and vibration all day
-Memmaid for improove the performance of your phone
-Vito eye photo
-Garmin mobile xt, it saved my life!
-MySquare, which i found in this forum and it's a nice app
-Vito sms chat, i hate WM sms interface and couldn't change it with astronout method so i downloaded this program and it works fine.
and the best games:
-groovy jump
-resco bubbles
It's a troll topic
Is there no must have, only what you think it's usefull for your use
I absolutely need these on my Xperia x1i:
ROM: WM 6.5 826x ROM (http://826x.blogspot.com/2010/02/rom-826x-wm-655-build-23541-w-htc-sense.html)
SPB Mobile shell (not free, but absolutely amazing)
A_C's S2U2 and S2P (http://www.ac-s2.com/)
Resco Explorer 2008(not free either but after using it, normal file explorer seems
TomTom 7 Navigator GPS (Garmin's good too but I prefer TomTom)
SPB Keyboard isn't exactly a must as the Xperia has a full QWERTY keyboard but there's no onscreen keyboard that comes close IMHO
keep this topic up ....
I am Newbie ... just start collecting apps and games ...
SPB Mobile Shell rocks !!!
SPB Weather (pay) - like it very much .... nice graphic
SPB Time (pay) - very good and different kind of alarms and world time

-No one mentioned Opera Mobile 10 and mini? Add then.
-Microsoft MyPhone for handy phone backup and anti-theft solution

Following on from the previous answer
1) Not pre-installed, but you can easily download and install a free one directly from the Market (i.e from the phone itself) - ASTRO File Manager and ES File Explorer are two good ones, but there are plenty to choose from
2) Again, not pre-installed, but you can download a free app called "Documents to Go" that will let you read office docs. http://www.dataviz.com/ - You'll need to buy the full version (currently $15) to be able to edit docs too
3) Googling suggests that you can probably make it work using pop3 - I don't use hotmail, so I can't try it out
4) Nothing pre-installed, but there are lots on the market. I'm currently using Trillian which works nicely (free beta, will probably become a paid app)
5) Yes - there are lots of alternative launchers, so if you're not happy with the S.E. "4 corners" homescreen, you can easily switch for another one - most of these are free, too
So, it sounds like you might have to fork out some cash to be able to do everything you want
I use maildroid for all my email accounts including Hotmail. Just download it for free in market

THANKS for your replies.
Let me see if I get it right:
OK so Android looks like a different approach (more iPhone-esque than pocketPC-esque) but able to expand to more advanced capabilities with some investment
(and the market looks pretty ample)
One final Q:
Front camera for video call ??
(I could just check pdadb.net for that one, but sometimes having the phone in-hand brings on some surprises)
No video calling afaik, though I suppose some app could potentially do it via the front camera.
Although the launcher can be changed easily, the OS theming requires the phone to be rooted and a system file to be replaced to change, so you'll have a lot of blue until the phone is rooted.
There are thousands of apps on the market and also around on the web, some are junk, some are great (including a lot of free ones), you shouldn't have too much trouble finding software to fill whatever needs you have.
Android is a pretty fantastic phone OS, I don't think you'll be dissatisfied with it, the user experience is much the same across different phones, so really it's about getting it on hardware that can fill your needs.
front cam ??
so it DOES have a front camera
thanks for the info
good news !!

Hey gtrab,
I was just like you, I always swore bt WM. And never wanted to try anything new. But while I was on a trip, my dash was bugging out on me and I needed a new phone. I went for the x10 mini pro cuz it was cheap.
Now my view has changed, android took a while to get used to from wm. Not a lot of things were intergrated like wm, I needed an app for every little thing. Just to get a comm manager thing going, I needed to download like 6 widgets for it. And there was no folders to organize the apps. Things weren't in abc order. But installing a new launcher solved it.
The thing about the x10 that is making me stick with android and ditching wm6.5 (maybe untill wm7 comes out) is there is no crashed. Android runs smooth and stable. I havent soft reset my phone in 2 months. Even tho a wm rom was stable it still has issues and I needed to soft reset it once a week just to get something to work again. Even my girl friend likes my phone, she always hated my wm phones cause it was hard to use, and it would always mess up on us when im talking to her over the phone. It would always go like, "the comm manager isnt loading, I need to reset the phone to turn on the bluetooh, ill call u back"
Because of this I think im going to stick with android now.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Thanks for your words Ray_Jai
I am 100% sure to go Android as soon as possible, my only concern is "which" phone to choose
The X10 mini pro is an amazing little phone, the only thing stopping me from buying it is the screen res 'cause I do a lot of web navigation, and the older android version (Froyo has flash 10.1 web support)
The newest Desire Z and Moto droid 2 world edition are tempting me
Np,
The small screen is a killer for me too, but I do most of my web reading from RSS readers, so it's ok for me. I only use the phone for email and light web surfing, I rarely play games or watch movies on it. I tried to install some games, but many of the games weren't supported. so if you're into that, it might not be that good. but for everything else, it does a pretty good job.
Hi!
I'm thinking about switching back from Android to WinMo 6.5 because in my opinion Sense + CHT2 is superior to any other homescreen and I miss it a lot. But I am not sure because there are a lot of things I think I'll miss. First of all the stability of Android. I have never had problems with things crashing or the need to restart the phone. Also I like that everything works good for me out of the box. Well, and here are my questions regarding WinMo:
- Is there a browser which works as good and fast as the stock android browser? For me it is important that I can view all web pages as they would be displayed on my computer (no mobile pages and such crap). Also flash support would be awesome.
- Does syncing gmail via ActiveSync support push mail and multiple gmail accounts?
- Is there a free alternative to the provided rss app?
The most important things for me are:
- stable system
- very good and fast browsing experience (with working flash)
- sync contacts and calendar with gmail (which syncs also with evolution on my pc)
I think I'm going to miss the facebook app from android because the WinMo one is really crap but I can live with that, I'm not a heavy fb user.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Ive always found Opera 9.7 to be better than any of the android browsers... except maybe Dolphin..
I can give you a cab to get rid of the default user agent and prevent it displaying sites in mobile view if you want. Unfortuneately flash support is not possible, there is a flash compatible browser called Uzard but its pretty buggy. I guess you could install it and just use when you need flash...
Not sure about syncing your contacts and calendar with gmail as I have never bothered but I have seen something around here about it.
CHT2.0 contains an RSS widget which links in with the stock RSS reader, Im not a heavy RSS user so I dont really know how it compares with the android equivalent but its fine for me.
As for a stable system........ cooked ROMS are the way to go.
Energy, Artemis, Duttys and Elegancia are all popular choices...
Ive just switched from Energy to Elegancia and its incredibly smooth and stable.
Remember, you can always keep an android build on your SD card and have the best of both worlds.
Hope that helps in some way.....

Yes, Opera 9.7 is a very good browser. Although on some websites it did not display everything correctly.
Well, flash is not a killer criteria but would be nice. You may not need it for months but when you need it one time and you can't...
RSS is important for me as I enjoy reading the news on my phone. I also use twitter a lot for news, so I love the twitter tab in sense
I used energy before switching to android and all at all I was pretty satisfied with it (although the dialer looks awful IMHO ). But sometimes you see WinMo behind the sense-curtain and some things lag or even crash and that is something I do not have with Android. Well, I think I'm gonna give it a try (I have a CWR backup for the worst case) and use parallel some SD builds of android.
Sharing that cab would be awesome! Thanks a lot! I know otherwise you have to do some registry tweaks...
Heres that cab for the user agent.
Also, if your a heavy twitter user you might want to try moTweets. Theres a free ad supported version, contains a few more features than the twitter tab.

Thanks a lot! I already discovered this thread earlier (and I found a discussion somewhere else on the internet). And I think this alternative dialer is worth a try!
I guess, I won't support this thread anymore. Our device is not good anymore, and our Wildfire's can't use all new apps because of very slow Arm v6 processor and GPU lack. But anyway, if you have any good ideas - write it here.
I hope, that this thread was useful for everyone. Maybe I'll back, but I guess, it will happen only when I will buy new phone, so I won't back coming soon. Thanks for everything.
Hi. I had very much problems with apps. I didn't know which is better and which is really usable. So I will try to help you with apps - this is list of the best apps:
For all users
Everything for browsing:
Browsers:
1. Opera Mini: The fastest browser for Android, but it doesn't support flash, JavaScript and etc.
2. Skyfire: an alternative browser with flash support, but quite slow.
3. Opera Mobile: fastest browser if you using Wi-Fi. Supports flash and JavaScript.
4. Dolphin Browser® HD: Quite fast browser, but slower than browsers from Opera. But this browser is very customizable has very much Add-ons, themes and etc.

2. 3G watchdog: This app shows your data usage. This app is the best, because it doesn't include Wi-Fi data and shows notification.
Customizing:
Launchers:
1. Go Launcher EX: I think it's the best Launcher. Many functions (I think the best is folders in app drawer, or hiding apps in app drawer), many themes. But it eats more RAM than other launchers.
2. Launcher Pro: This launcher is very fast, but not as customizable as Go Launcher. But if you want the best performance you shuold this launcher.
Homescreen:
1. Fancy widgets: The best free app for widgets (like htc style clock and etc.).
2. Beatiful Widgets: The best of the best widgets app (But this app costs).
3. PicSpeed HD Wallpapers: This app has very much high quality wallpapers.

5. Shazam: Something like SoundHound, but it is better if you are listening rock, rap, pop and other non-electronic music.
6. TuneIn Radio: The best Internet radio app. If it works in Lithuania it must work everywhere .
Photos and videos:
1. Camera Zoom FX: Camera app which has very much effects and functions.
2. Vignette: One more camera app, which also has many effects and features.

5. avast! Mobile Security: One of the best (or maybe the best) antivirus app for Android. Why? Because it has a lot of features, blocks many viruses and it is faster than others.

Thanks mate really useful.
I would like to add 2 facebook apps that actually work. (smoothly)
1- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200207 (real deal)
2-Friendcaster pro.
Oh, I almost forgot Brits! "Rainwatch" is the Uber weather app for us. It basically is a local cloud map. Which is what matters here
Thanks, is a great list of apps.
One thing I would ask, is can apps be rated for how speedy or laggy they are on the wildfire.
For example GO SMS is lovely, particularly with its flip screens but I am using Pansi SMS and it is much faster, and has a less cramped text box.
A few apps the I really love that worked really well on the wildfire are :
Beyond podcast
Gtasks
Flext9 voice recognition software, there was the occasional glitch on WiFi, one time out of 10 that dictation would fail, fine on 3G . rocksolid since rooted.
Could moderators make this thread sticky?

Doubts on a sticky mate your not even in the correct section,would be more suited in the themes and apps section,but goodluck.

However launcherpro is much faster and smooth when compared to go launcher
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I didin't forget XDA
13. Tapatalk: With this app you can go to some forums. For example with Tapatalk you can go to XDA forum. Also there are many other forums.
Apps2rom works well to move apps to ROM memory instead of sd. It also works for apps that can't be moved to sd. Nicely frees up space using faster internal memory. Only app I found that didn't like this was spotify.
Couple this with titanium backups new option to move dalvick data to ROM and you free up a lot.
i used gtasks up to now, but i've found a new app (now featured on market) called any.do. very functional, synces with google tasks, has great widgets.... all the best
Droid wall, advanced task killer, xda, superuser elite, SD maid pro, titanium backup root, app brain, appy geek and of course my favorite HTC app teeter
sent from my steroid powered, cyanogenmod filled wrecking machine! using xda app.
Nice thread! I'm downloading Pansi SMS now, I've used Handcent and Go SMS Pro, but they are both slow
Some of my favorite apps (that are not already in the list in the TS): Android Assistant, Quickpic, My Data Manager, Plume, Airdroid, No-Frills CPU control, ADW Launcher EX, and more
Oh, and don't use task killer apps. It's integrated in Android since 2.2 and using extra task killers only slows your phone down.
Excellent list, thank you
After long long time... Update . I added more apps and now these aps are sorted. P.S. Moderators, please move this thread to HTC Wildfire Themes and Apps and make it sticky. Thank you very much .
It's a decent list of things that work well on wildfire, although it's missing a few different launchers which imo definitely deserve to be up there with go launcher, adw, launcher 7, 360, espier and I'm pretty sure there's more, also there's 2 or 3 threads already on this subject so what exactly stands yours apart from the others to deserve it to be stickied other than the fact you've categorized it?

I think my thread better than others because all the best apps are in one post. In another thread (name is share your apps whithout you can't live or something like this) all apps is in different posts and it is not sorted so, it is difficult to find app that you really need. Also in this thread I explained what every app does. So... Of course I didn't say that you must make it sticky. So moderators just can move it to other forum. But I hope moderators will make it sticky. Sorry for poor english :/.

Update: Thread is moved to themes and apps (thanks to our moderators), added some more apps like shazam, turnin radio, some apps are moved to the other category .
Hey there,
I just switched over from iOS to Android and I'm using a Redmo Note 4 (MTK) right now.
Are there any apps you would recommend me or would that are mandatory to use?
Hmm.. Fingerprint Quick Action allows you to bind some nice actions to fingerprint scanner, like expanding notification bar. Google Drive is very useful for syncing data, QuickPic is imho the best gallery app you may find, MiXplorer is one of the best file managers (look for it on xda).
That sounds interesting!
Is there a camera app I should use or is the stock one more more than enough?
retrica camera app
app Backup and restore
colour note
Wallpapers
shareit
Greenify
mx player
nova launcher
parellal space
swiftkey
leos fortune (game).
I'd recommend Mega (50 gb free online space), and substratum theme engine, if you plan on rooting and installing a custom rom.
That is a good question xD
If you are a photographer or like to do something the same as taking photos,try Snapseed.
The social Applications like Instagram,Google plus,Facebook,twitter...there s no need for me to give you these lol
Some games are recommended in Google Play.
In my phone,i am a programmer,so I downloaded some Material Design Guides,a text editior,etc.
Maybe my words are useless but i still hope it works.
Have a good time xD
Sd maid pro
There are many cleaning application on android platform to clean the device but believe me guyz this app is tremendous...Awsm performance
I'll share more apps and plz continue this thread.... Thnx
