HTC Touch Pro / Fuze Apps
As a followup to my Must Have Applications and Programs for the HTC Touch Pro article, here are some more great programs for your HTC Touch Pro/Fuze.
- AE Button Plus- An excellent program which lets you assign your hard-keys to certain actions. Very useful to reassign hard-keys to open programs, show task manager, etc since the Touch Pro does not have this functionality by default.
- Diamond Background Changer - Changes your wallpaper based on a schedule. Basically, you assign a folder of wallpapers for the program to use. Then you specify how often you want the wallpaper to change (1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, etc). Gives your phone a fresh look almost every time you look at it!
- Dotfred's Task Manager- Much, much more powerful than the stock task manager. Allows you to see all applications running on your phone as well as individual processes. Also lets you see things like CPU usage, running services, and more. It also comes with some useful networking tools such as ping, ipconfig, and net stat. Furthermore, the task manager also includes a registry editor.
- FlexMail - A full-featured email client. Much more powerful and configurable than the stock Pocket Outlook program. Supports Gmail's IMAP IDLE, which lets you receive emails almost instantly as they arrive in real-time. Has multiple panes and a Microsoft Outlook look with a message list and preview pane. Also supports lots of configuration for individual email folders and accounts so that each can have their own individual settings.
- G-Watch - GPS enabled stop watch program which also keeps track of your distance, speed and altitude. G-Watch also can spit out GPS coordinates based on your position - useful if the location you are at is not found in Google Maps or other mapping programs. If you have the GPS coordinates, you can map your way to the destination even if the location is not stored in the map databases.
- Kinoma Player- A feature packed media player. Not only can you play music and video files from your memory card, you can also connect to online services like YouTube. Kinoma Player is also compatible with Orb, which lets you stream your media files located your home computer to your phone. This is an excellent program worth trying out and they have a free version available on their website.
- Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 2 - The latest version of Opera Mobile. Adds a zoom slider bar at the bottom of the window when viewing a web page in full screen along with some other minor changes.
- Slide to Answer - Replaces the incoming call function. Instead of having to tap the screen to answer calls, you now have to slide a slider bar. Have you ever accidentally hung up on someone because your phone was in your pocket and you accidentally hit the end call button? Slide to Answer takes the frustration away.
- SmartPhone Tracker- This program allows you to locate your phone via GPS coordinates, useful if your phone gets lost or stolen. Basically, SmartPhone Tracker is configured to listen for a certain text message. When it receives that text message, the program will activate the phone's GPS and obtain a lock. Once it has GPS satellites locked, it will send an email or text message with a link to Google Maps with the phone's location and exact GPS coordinates.
- SPB Phone Suite- The major feature of this program are the phone profiles. This lets you create rules for your phone's ringer, wifi, and bluetooth. For example, you can create a rule to put your phone in vibrate every Monday and Wednesday between the hours of 9-12PM. If you go to school, this is an invaluable tool since you'll never forget to put your phone on vibrate again! You can even choose to enable your wifi and bluetooth at certain times of the day to conserve battery life.
