I did say that I’d take a look through the HTC Applications again, and this time release them. I’ve actually had more success with these than I did the first time around anyway. Most of the device-specific libraries HTC use seem to be pretty friendly to other phones as well, so almost all the applications work bug free.
HTC Converter:
Works without any discernable bugs.
HTC Photo Stylist:
Again, no apparent bugs, appears to work flawlessly.
HTC Stocks:
For the most part, no bugs. Does seem slightly less stable than the other two functioning applications, but not been able to pin this down to a specific cause.
HTC Hub:
I’ve now managed to get it to show some UI, though it still crashes trying to load data to fill that UI. I’d be very surprised to see it working in any major way, as it is by far the most complex of the OEM Applications made so far.
HTC Sound Enhancer:
Runs fine, though sadly has no effect. Settings are not saved, and I presume this is because the relevent functionality does not exist.
HTC Youtube:
A popular request, but a strange one to deal with. Contrary to what I claimed on twitter earlier, it does actually appear to use the native Microsoft .NET Networking API, at least for the most part, but it still fails to load anything. Will investigate further using Wireshark to track network traffic, see where things are going wrong.
