Apps/Games to present the HD - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hey guys,
I'm searching for some Applications and Gamez to present the features of my HD.
Friends often ask me what I like so much on my HD and why I did't buy an iPhone. I don't know what to answer then... Always showing the Game Teeter is so boring! I testet the iPhone for about a week and wasn't as thrilled as I'm now with my HD.
Searching in the XDA Forum wasn't very successful to me
Greez and thank you for helping me...

a good start would be to take pictures of ur phone, so u can show a little but of the functions and themes.
A nice program is 'Pocketscreen' which can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328627

Thank you for your post!
I rather thought about the case when they are standing next to me and want to see what my HD is able to do... Something spectacular, you know...
Maybe we can compile a catalog of such "viewy applications"!

oh, lol, sorry then, i missunderstood ya
mhhh, so i think u r searching for advantages of the touch hd, aren't u?
well...if u wanna impress ur friends u just have to show them windows mobile...
what's so special about it? try to get tomtom or other apps working on iPhone...

Take a look at this.

too bad games are running slow as hell on the touch hd.........sigh.........

So you are looking for some "mine is bigger than yours" application just to show off?
Sorry, couldn´t resist.....

Just go to opera, copy a random link, open an email, page the link in a message and tell them to try that on their iphone
Coreplayer 1.3.0 and put on any dvd rip movies and make them jealous with envy, as movies are gorgeous on the high resolution screen
If you have highspeed internet on your hd, just show them a youtube vid, again just show them how inadequate the iphone is as a mediaplayer.
MP3-trimmer, cut a song on the fly, save it as a ringtone and then tell them to call you, watch them squirm
I got bejeweled2 on mine, another addictive game.
Virtual pool looks pretty slick.
When they tell you there is this great program which can identify music, just say its shazam and also avaible for winmo, If they don't know then whip it out tell the hd to identify a popular song on the radio or something from another mp3 player.

I also just bought an Touch HD, i used to have the normal Touch for 8 months, was thinking of buying the iphone too, instead after MANY reviews i stayed with HTC and bought me the touch HD.
Things you can show him is the resolution, open opera with a fullsize forum and show how much text you get on your screen.
Multitasking is what an iphone can't do.
Stuff i like on my windows mobile device: MSN, fring/skype (free calling over wifi) i love VNCview for PPC so i can see my desktop PC on my HD, also love the game UNO, also LOVE Funambol ! so i can sync my calendar/notes/contacts,... all to one server and that way to my PC all bidirectional... Funambol is also availeble on iphone but only for syncing contacts because apple wants to make 99 dollar a year on their syncing service... and most of all, i love that i can keep finding settings to adjust my windows mobile device just the way i want it...
what i don't know if this is all possible with a jailbroken iphone... if it is then there isn't any big difference i guess
good luck with the showing off haha

I know these pages full of applications. Which of them are good to, lets say, "show off"...
Thank you all for your suggestions... maybe got some more!?!
!edit: where can i get coreplayer 1.3 from? u know what i mean!?! plz pm

I wouldn't bother with CorePlayer; full-res video doesn't work well enough yet.
Look at the stickied video-encoder thread and create a file for free that plays full-res full-framerate in WMPlayer on the HD. Bear in mind that most people won't understand the difference between this and what the iPhone plays though.
Then read a book at them. I had an iPod Touch and never found any way to read books that wasn't woefully inadequate.
Web pages in landscape, clicking in links without zooming in etc is a great demo.
The Hologram app is pretty cool; do a search around here and you'll find it.
But to be honest all an iPhone owner has to do is show someone Super Monkey Ball, Aqua Forest, Enigmo etc and you've lost. No amount of "But you can't copy-and-paste" is going to bring you back from that one.

just record a video when going in the freeway at 120km/h then show them.
lets see the iphone do that with that quality

Cool! Thank you for all your Replys!
I think this stuff will hunt 'em down...

1. Use Hush SMS and send Ring 0 SMS to an iPhone.
2. Show some real GPS navigation software.
3. Compare list of supported bluetooth profiles on your HD with iPhone.

Use GRemote to control your pc - see here

how about installing ORB on your home pc and you can stream every music and video file to your ppc through wifi, music is even possible over edge.
that way you can have unlimited portable media.
i use it and it works great !

Yeah, at the gaming (and, of course, the capacitive screen) department, the iPhone is just unbeatable.

Please do NOT ask for warez. Especially not with CorePlayer. Those folks do deserve being paid for their very hard work.

The best way IMHO is Sling Mobile:
http://www.slingmedia.com/go/spm
You'll need a slingplayer and a TV subscription at home. It works great - use it all on the time on my Dash.
Skyfire and Justin.tv works for me.
a hope this help you
take a look at http://favchannels.com/watch-tv-live-online/
Try this:
http://www.wsltv.com/
They offer lot of free live TV streams from many countries for PC and Smart Phones.

Data + battery = love ...NOT

Hey guys, i'm not that new to this formu but i usually don't post ... call me lazy maybe.
I have been using a HTC Diamon for the last 2 years, and now proud owner of a Desire. Along me, 4 of my best friend have the same devices.
ALL OF THEM expept me have 3G enabled all the time ... WHY ? I mean i work in IT, so i have Internet access all the time (work or home), so why keep 3G and data going all the time ? wifi, bluetooth, and so on ? I mean i have a 24 inch screen in front of me ... why do i need to update twiter from phone? or facebook, or whatever? I use data when i am not at the office ? YES ! Do i turn it off when I am in front of a pc? YES! does my phone outlasts all of my friends phone? YES ...
So besides the fact that Android, doesn't really work as WM, you don;t really need task killers, switchers and all that in my own opinion.
What i would really need would be some productivity, like a good VPN client for example.
If you look at early threads on thif forum, when Diamond was the stuff you wanted, everyone said, (when asked "why don't i have this cool thing that rotates that does nothing but looks nice LIKE ON THE IPHONE ... on my HTC?) that HTC does phone bussiness oriented, HTC and smartphones in general are for ppl that really need emails, vpns, charts, office tools and what ever on the go and that the Iphone is for kids ...? looking here and everywhere else ... somewhere ppl forgot that a phone should enable you to talk to someone ... a PDA is a usefull TOOL ... a tool not an iphone ...
Anyway ... i haven't sleeped in about 16 hours, my English ... sucks sometimes (sorry about that) and i don;t really know what i wanted to say but point is that if you want to save battery ... stop using the F**ing mobile internet while you have a pc in front of you.
What can i say...
Thanks for this long and pointless post.
If you want productivity then stop writing nonsense such as this and find something to do.

Why WP7 broswer > iOS browser

I never realized this but you can actually click on the "browse" button on web pages and it takes you to the picture hub to attach photos. You can't do this on iOS devices which is stupid.
With GPU accelerated IE9, WP7 will soon have the best mobile browser available!
one thing that i dont like about iphone browser is when you got to other tab, then after few minutes when you go back, the page will load again.
Sorry, what "browse" button are you talking about?
You know when you want to upload something on a website. That button.
Indeed, I didn't even try that assuming that iy wouldn't work. It does, however.
I do love these little gems that people are uncovering and sharing. There is so much to WP7!

Yeah, the WP7 browser is sweet. I have all 3 popular systems, iOS4, WP7 and Android, and IE is the nicest of them. However, I would like to see web pages adjust to frame size like the Android browser does... zooming in or out, the content adjusts to maintain full view rather than needing to scroll side to side to read it in portrait mode.
Huh?

but wen u wack wit crack..... lol
Lets say your on lets say PhotoBucket or flickr something and you choose hey why not upload a picture and on your computer you click upload and "BROWSE" and you find the picture of last night and upload...
Well hes talking about that browse feature where you can locate the picture or watevr via a file manager or an app
can one of u guys with windows phone 7 go to depositfiles.com and see if it lets u upload a mp3 to that site since you guys say the browse button works with pictures but does it work with other file types on the phone like mp3s?
For example go to photofunia.com proceed to make a custom pic and you'll see what the man means (I really gotta change this Android avatar lol)

I highlighted the "Browse" button there. When you want to upload an image, you need to pick it on your device. iOS doesn't let you do that.

There's no way you'll be able to upload mp3s anywhere from WP7.
At this time it only lets you upload images. Maybe this will be extended to other OS "libraries" such as Office documents, but I can bet money it won't let you upload music without some hacking.

I'd rather they improve what they're doing now, resizing text to fit their frames, so you can read posts at a smaller zoom level.
After using android for a while I hated the reformatting it does, you end up having text breaking the flow of the website or a news post with an image that is so big it spans past your screen size just because the text reformatted to fit and it zoomed in way too much.
I find the iOS and WP7 browsers to be pretty smart in detecting what part of the website you want to read and resizing that text so you don't have to pinch or even double tap sometimes in order to read.

why is it that it will let u upload and download pictures from the browser? why wont it let u download a mp3 or a zip or rar file thru the browser? ive used a phone in the store and tried to download a mp3 it played the mp3 when i hit save to download it and it wouldnt add it to my library there has to be some where that its temporarily stored on the phone i wonder if theres a way to get it and save it to the library without using the computer
I think that's because 99.999% of all cases where users would upload mp3s to web sites would be for illegal sharing.
That's just my guess, though, and please don't argue with me about it.

Get a browser that supports adblock.
Some people were saying that if you're a Recognised contributor you won't get ads (I never had them in the first place because I use adblock)

No need to be so defensive. I tried to help you get rid of both the adverts which are annoying you and the horror that is Internet Explorer. Plus, if you have an Android phone (chances are you do, being on XDA) Google is already 'watching you', and far better on your phone with all of the location data and stuff than on your PC . Speaking of Android, using Chrome would give you much better integration with your phone (again, if you have an Android phone)

Anyone know how this XBMC is setup...very cool

Hi,
So Im trying to imitate this guys setup, which apparently not only has links to external source such as high quality movie releases, its nicely presented where you highlight the movie and it shows as a directory tree with a thumbnail popping up for each movie in the lower left corner. Im assuming he has programed this with AEON skin, that much i've gathered, but i'd like to know how he gets it to change with each movie or tv show its pointing to...the video is long approx 49 minutes. Im not looking to imitate him to sell these units, i'd just like to streamline and set mine up like this...any input would be appreciated....

Legolas2 can you expand what is Lowlist, I cant find anything on it....guys...no one knows how this guy has his unit setup?...there has to be a way to have it categorized so nicely where you scroll over the label and see a nice thumbnail on it and its in sort order of the best movies ect..from that site? Im assuming its some sort of site scraper? Lets use the example at the 2:50 mark in the video skymovies premiere and catagorizes the genres and underneath it shows the title and the thumbnails change..and if you go up one level it shows Boxoffice, views, popular, added, trending, channels and then if you click on them it shows the names of the movies, with the backgrounds changing to a scene in the movie, each one different. Im sure someone knows how this is setup...if its Lowlist can anyone point me in the right direction, with maybe a how to guide? thanks...
