S60 download links

In no particular order (for now):

  • DivX Mobile PlayerNote: DivX player will recognize files under E:\Videos\DivX, but only with *.divx extension. Encoding needs to be just right: the following will work: ffmpeg -i 2008-07-01-5fps.avi -f avi -vtag DX50 -deinterlace -s 320x240 -b 512000 -acodec mp3 -ab 128000 -y movie2.divx. Sending of DivX movies via BT (into the SMS inbox) does NOT work
  • RealPlayer (pre-installed). Will accept *.mp4 movies in Inbox, encoded as ffmpeg -i 2008-07-01-5fps.avi -f mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 250000 -r 15 -s 320x240 -acodec aac -ar 24000 -ab 64000 -ac 2 movie.mp4

  • Nokia Maps 2.x – when using GPS offline
  • Gmail 2.x – for accessing my Google Apps

  • Skyfire – for occassional different browsing
  • Fring – for accessing all my IMs, and using Skype when on Wifi

Tools:

  • FlipSilent – flip the ringing phone, and it is silent
  • rotateme – rotation using sensor before it became standard
  • Conversation – to get threaded conversations as part of the Contacts app
  • Screenshot – well,…
