Hey guys.
I'd like to compile a list of very good (mature) software for the Z so that newbies don't get overwhelmed by the avalanche of apps available on it. If you have very good apps you think no one should miss, reply here with name, link, and whatever info you think is necessary. I'll update with mine in a few. Please do NOT post questions/comments so this thread stays on-course, and easy to read My personal list: KDEP Pimpi Zautrix is our savior! Send him bug reports here Opie Reader cool text reader. Joe's Own Editor. Just a nice CLI text editor. QPE Filemanager Just a little less braindead than the Files tab. Qpdf2 Get the freetype package. |

KO/PI
- The cat's meow in terms of Calendaring on the Z, hands down. KA/PI - The cat's meow in terms of Address books on the Z, hands down. Is there an echo in here? PWM/PI - Used zSafe for years, now I use this. It's vastly better, overall, depsite some odd quirks, imho. Since I have the source I'll likely do something about them, when they become annoying enough. (wink) NeoCal - Finally bought this simply amazing little guy, instead of using the unlimited use freeweare version. I've never looked for anything else. StageOne - Task list application that does percentage completion for you, supports multiple files, plus images and notes right in the ToDo. KO/PI is better than most ToDo apps, but this is still my favorite. JustReader - Found this on this uber-list. Great e-book reader! QPDF - Been using this as long as I've owned a Z. Once I figured out how to get it to run in landscape on the C1000 I was very happy! (snicker) PortaBase - Found this on this uber-list. Reminds me of the database app on the Psion, which I've sorely missed for years and years. Nice to have it back. Opera - Because it's better than any alternative I've tried. Haven't done the Debian/Firefox combo yet. QKonsole - Very nice support for larger fonts, full-screen mode, and the ability to remove most of the useless "window dressing", make this beat out Konsole, my old command-line tool of choice. Tree!Explorer - Found on this uber-list. VERY sweet app that I'll have to be registering, to have the "SendTo" style functionality. SystemInfo - Been using this as long as I've owned Z's, too. It still doesn't show my kernel version correctly, but that's the minorest of minor things in this excellent tool. Memory Applet - Used to manage swap with it, now it's just a nice indicator of my memory usage. Kalarm Applet - Because it's part of the suite. (grin) Battery Applet - Shows battery status in a little pop-up, instead of consuming the *entire* screen for something so simplistic. BlueZ - While not an app, per se, it is something I've installed, so it's included. Very slick bluetooth implemention that I'd love to do a little coding on, if'n I could piece it all together somehow. Asteroids - From the SL-5000, which runs on the larger screen very nicely. The "Menu" button even gives me shields, which *never* worked on the 5500. NetHack - At last I have this available again! It refused to run symlinked to the SD card, and I didn't have enough main storage to load it on the 5500. That's just no longer an issue. (grin) Barrage - Nice little kill everything game, in a just wrong sort of way. (snicker) Kinda like Lemmings was, in that regard. Marbles - Nice brain buster whose only "fault" is very tiny text. Doesn't affect playability in the least! Mahjongg, Shisen-Sho, zIQ, zKnights, lTris, lGeneral, Go (SL-5500), BackGammon, Atomic, Word Game (SL-5500), Checkers, Mine Hunt (SL-5500) Anything not explictly listed, I use the default apps for. Music, word processing, spreadsheet, photos, etc, etc. Haven't gotten 'round to looking for alternatives, yet. |
