Apps on your Axim

Finally, after UPS screwed up, I am getting my Axim this afternoon. I am anticipating being able to customize it. Can any of you out there tell me what you think are the most useful apps you have on your axim? Maybe a list of what you have? Included links and pics would be great. Thanks.....

Raynne,

You put Facelift and ThemeMaster. But doesn't Facelift allow you to change your themes. Why would you need both?

I think with theme master you can preview teh themes you have on your device before you choose them, then with facelift you can custimize the heck out of it, as well as set up full screen themes.

Hey Raynne how come your usign battery pack and pocket backup plus? Have you tried the pocketmon file that pocket backup comes with? I found the battery estimation time more accurate, I was wondering if you think so as well.

NMKid is right. I have a TON of themes for my PocketPC, for all my different moods. So I use Theme Master to preview them, before I switch.

Yes, I believe Pocketmon is more accurate in regards to battery life. I mainly use them both because I like Battery Pack's launcher. I like being able to have five lines take up only one line of space. I don't like alot of stuff on my Today Page.

I tend to use the following:

Adobe Acrobat Reader (online e-books from school)
Monopoly
Sim City 2000
Pocket TV (For QuickTime Movies)
Pocket Plus (Primarily to make the close button really close)
AlarmMe (because the built-in alarms really are insufficient)

And the rest I use the built-in apps

This is what I have installed on my Axim (so far):

Adobe Acrobat Reader
Resco Picture Viewer
Resco Explorer
Tillanosft PocketTweak
Sprint DB Pro
PDAwin Remote Controller
Pocket Genealogist (and all 6700 relatives I've found so far)
Icbar
Pocket Facelift
Journal Bar
IMOV Messenger (so I can IM folks on Yahoo)

For games - Dominoes, Wordstalk, Checkers, Marble Worlds

I will prob soon get Scrabble and some kind of mapping program (didnt like mapopolis)

I use the inbuilt apps for everything else -- WiMP, Excel, Word, Solitaire, Inbox, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, MS Reader, Calculator

One neat thing I have done it to make the screen as bright as poss and use my Axim as a flashlight (this is also great for picking on the cat)!

YanCEyWare Reader allows you to highlight versus in the scriptures. Bookmarks are easier to create and jump to. It stores the last 15 places you visited so you can quickly jump from place to place and back again. It also has a quicker search engine. It allows you to pick the size of the text, so you can fit a lot more on the screen at once and it uses ClearType, which makes the text easier on the eyes. I also like its footnote and cross-reference interface better than EZ Reader. And you get Maps and the Hymns; and the "Teachings..." Manuals include all the pictures in the printed versions (much easier to follow along with in Sunday School).

Plus, the app Loading screen is just awesome, with a picture of the scriptures and the Church's logo below it. I also like it's filing system better.

The only things I dislike is it takes a bit longer to load than EZ Reader and you can't jump from chapter to chapter as easily. Plus, no Ensigns .
