xda hacks/mods et al

iwanttosave_2

I've just got an xda (zest) and don't have a clue about them as to what sort of add-ons or modifications you can get or where. Can anyone recommend any good sites for them, esp some games, all I've got is bubble blaster and solitaire The SIP on the Zest is pap as well so if anyone knows of any good ones that would be great.

I got one a couple of weeks ago, its been interesting finding stuff to run (had a Windows based phone before but Zest has more in in)

I have got TomTom 6 running on it with map of the whole of Europe.
Windows Media player is poo, TCPMP player is awesome play all kinds of things full screen landscape. I usually re-code stuff to MPEG1 @512kb/s at 640x480 resolution. Whoile DVD is then 450mb and looks STUNNING on the Zests hi-res screen.
The regular TCPMP does not run but someone did a fixed version for Windows 6.1/VGA devices HERE

I put an 8gb SD card in mine (you need one marked at least class 4 or higher) Also its its good to install most stuff to SD card and keep all your data there, if it ever crashes badly on cold reboot Windows phones re-flash the phone memory back to default and wipe anything in phone memory.

SPB backup is also worth getting, it can zip your entire phone memory into a self running recovery file on the SD card. You will spend a long time getting all your settings and installs just right on you phone. If it ever cold crashes its annoying having to do it all again. All you have to do is click on the SPB backup file and it restores everything back as it was in a minute.

Zest has Win 6.1 which is vastly better than Win 6.0 even though its only +0.1! Win 6.0 was a bit unstable but 6.1 seems all fixed and has run without glitches for me.

PCM Keyboard is good and free HERE about as big a finger keyboard as you can fit. NOTE read carefully down (red box) about also downloading the VGA skin file. I use the simple manila or Twelve skins ones on HERE

Lots other stuff iphone owners could only dream of LOL but I have to go to work now. Cheers. PM if you need more help.

Try the xda-developers forum (www.xda-developers.com). Loads of stuff on there. Be warned though, they are super-geeks!!!
