My X1 only says SkypeForPocketPC is not a valid Pocket PC application.
Any ideas?

If you have downloaded the PC installer file <.exe> you have to perform the installation via PC
Or get the cab file here, transfer it to your phone and perforrm the installation directly on your device:

If you install apps via PC, do they leave any "trash" behind? I mean I want those apps on the phone not all over my PC.
Posted by chrisu
wohoo, works fine, thank you!
I mean the cab file... did not try the PC installer...

any video converter tools for the X1?
Posted by myth®
@Jabe
Yes, they create files and folders on your pc under \Windows or \Program Files and keep the actual installation flie for a later installation or uninstallation via Active Sync in XP or WMDC in Vista.
So if you want to keep your PC 'clean', you will have to prefer the installation via cab files. Most of the apps are available as cab files and some are available in both formats.
I've only seen a few developers, who provide only pc installers for their applications.

How do you get album art to show when you play music in the mediaplayer? I'm using itunes and a mac. Cant get it to play

A good alternative file explorer to look out for is Total Commander. Substantially better than the built in file browser. It includes many features similiar to Windows Explorer that you would expect on the inbuilt file browser but that just aren't there.
It also has network browsing and registry editing capability.
For wireless hotspot discovery, wififofum.

Freeware:
Pocket RAR
PHM Registry Editor
Pocket Toolman

Has anyone tried Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool on the X1 ?
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 is required.
Posted by Angello
From FreewarePPC:
TouchLaunch v0.0.4.7
download
just checked the app and the resolution seems to be wrong.
anyone has an idea how to change the application-resolution to VGA?
cheers

I have used Optimobile's Uniphone on my p990. Great application. Sound quality miles better than Skype. Now, I have seen on Optimobile's there will be a version for the X1. Anyone got it/tried it?
Posted by Jabe
Since many of you who now own X1 were once UIQ2 users, you'll probably be able to answer this for me:
Is there a Magic Profiles Pro (SymbianWave) like app for WM. I still miss it after over two years of using P990. It used to spare me quite a few embarrassing moments.

^^^ I'm going to try Photo Contacts Pro. Hopefully it will be as good or better.

An alternative to the File Explorer:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp
It's very good, lets you map persistent network drives to other PCs.
Posted by masseur
agreed. I've been using Recso for a few year now and its excellent and includes a great registry editor as well as encyrption and file searching and other benefits

been having a hard time looking for cool games. i see a lot of games in the web but most of them looks jurassic.
Posted by WhyBe
^^^ Yes, I agree. Why do WinMo games suck so bad ? I shouldn't say "all of the games", but I haven't found any decent action type ones yet. Am I looking in the wrong places ?
I'm looking for games with all of these characteristics:
Great, responsive/intuitive control
Great sound and graphics
Works properly on the X1 (no hacking required)
I'm glad to have found Celeris Virtual Pool Mobile. It is just exactly as it was on my p910. I've tried so many racing games, and they all suck. What about first person shooters or platform-type games.

Posted by myth®
A new version of Skype, 2.5 Beta, is available.
