Useful Symbian S60 5th (Satio) applications

In my previous post I explained how installing HelloOX2 would allow you to install PyS60 and in turn the multitude of Python applications.

HelloOX2 also opens up other doorways. There are some really useful applications out there (mainly on www.dailymobile.se, massive credit to them) which have been developed/leaked/modified by the non-legit sources. These applications can make your phone look and feel just like an Golf *cough* I mean an iPhone, so if you’re anything like me and admire the iPhone’s UI but can’t bare the downsides, read on.

Free-iSMS (video):  Gives you threaded messaging, couldn’t live without it now!

Dayhand Input modified by Mr Milk for English: I don’t understand why the default QWERTY keyboard has been designed in a “square” layout, by this I mean the A is right below the Q, instead of being just below and to the right. If you’re like me and expect keys to be in all the right places, this will make your typing very difficult. Get Dayhand to be able to change this and even create your own skins!

SPB Mobile Shell (video): Let’s face it, the Satio’s homescreen is a poor effort and their menu system leaves you standing with a decade-old double-click interface. Install this leaked version of SPB Mobile Shell for Symbian and give your phone a makeover! It’s quite stable, once you figure out which buttons you *shouldn’t* press! You might need this fix at some point :)

And that’s about it, those are the applications I find improve S605th’s usage by a mile and, having started to use them, couldn’t go back to the bare system without kicking myself.

Enjoy :)
