Here's my personal list of must have FREE software for the Juno... all IMHO, YMMV etc. etc.

This thread will be updated as I add stuff, and feel free to suggest additions yourself!



P

ClockOnTop - top bar digital clock

Inbox Extender - add 'Delete All' and 'Mark All as Read' options to your inboxes.

MoDaCo DoNew - adds functionality to create new Word and Excel documents!

MoDaCo Google Search - changes Windows Live search in PIE and Windows Live to Google.

Palringo - Palringo, text, push to talk and image chat for your device. Install and join the 'MoDaCo' group!

PhoneSharpMT - Got a blog that supports an XML-RPC API (most do!)? Use your nifty keyboard to post to it with this application!

SKTools Lite - useful tools for cleaning registry, notification queue etc. Has additional options for freeing RAM quickly.

SKTSync - sync your device with a time server. Useful to install after you've just hard reset the device

Vito CopyPaste - adds cut and paste functionality. To install, copy EXE to device and run. To use, press and hold action key!

Which ones did you try? Some are files that you have to install from the computer.

I can't get this to work, I installed it twice and it confirmed installation but I still do not see either option.

Did you copy the CAB to your phone then install? It worked fine for me. I just go into my text messaging inbox and hit the menu button, and down at the bottom it has the options "Mark All as Read" and "Delete All."

Thats exactly what I did. Hmm. I wonder if something is interfering with it working. I'll uninstall and retry it.

Have you already App Unlocked your phone? if not, try it before installing.

I was holding off from unlocking it (no real reason) but that fixed it. Thanks

Not sure if it's a must have but for those looking for a screenshot app, Ilium Software has a freeware that works very well. Once you open the application, it will map any number key, *, or # so when you are on a screen you want to capture, just click on that button and it will save the image in your My Documents folder. Only downside is that it only saves in BMP format so they are larger files than like PNGs. But can't really complain since it's free.

I'm having problem with the Vito CopyPaste.  I'm using Windows Vista Business and have Windows Mobile Device Center (since Active Sync is just for XP).  When I double click on the VitoCopyPaste.exe, Windows tells me that "VitoCopyPaste.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve
