If the comment for a program is "See Post 354", "No working full screen (VGA)", "doesn't fit the screen" and so on, then this program can run by changing the screen resolution using WVGAFIX3 by Cotulla.
Thank you very much to him!
This is an alphabetic list. Programs in bold don't work.
Work ok. With a background, it doesn't quite fill the screen! Got the same issue with 0.4.1.! Figured out that an JPEG image 480 x 800 96dpi works as full-screen background.
See Post 595 Works well (I did not try the "Switch speakers during call" option in 3. Audio settings page 2. Got scared of the caveat posted by Ageet.) Did anyone try it out on HD?
All versions up to the current edition do not work. Strong interference with any SDK code (such as G-Light, Gyrator2...) does not allow to load any map.
Autosputnik (russian navigation soft)
V3.2.7 (build 23090)
This version works immediately after soft reset only. Interference problem (see above) still does not solved.
Now compatible with HD screen resolution with a download from ALK support. (as of 12 Feb 09)
Another Member reported "My bigger concern seems to be that my position is always about 200m off the true position. Note that this is NOT a lag problem, but a positioning problem. It marks my position always about 200m to the east of where I really am (even if I am standing still). And this is when the HD is showing a strong connection to 7 or more GPS satellites".
Member utlov06 purchased CoPilot 7 and tested it. Comments can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2921422#post2921422. Here's what was said - "tested copilot 7 just a while ago and there is no positioning problem mentioned above. My position was always on spot with the road I was on. There was an acceptable a 1-2 second lag from my current position when passing a road. Just like it is in windows live search maps and the same on my Kaiser. There was some stretching of the screen a little to fit the HD's screen, but not bad at all. I copied all the map info over to my 8GB microsd card."
Almost all internationally sourced GPS solutions have a 200 meter plus error when used in China - including Googlemaps
See Post 448 This software (MS Access like) does work on Blackstone. The only problem is that it's not optimized for it : don't accept to "turn" with the device, don't allow its columns to fit the screen... However, the more important functions (sorting and editing) do work.
1. distance bars are in the middle of the screen rather than in the bottom
2. I cannot switch maps

See Post 407 WVGA full screen.
Diamond TV
V2.1(29 Oct. 2008)
Works.
Diamond VR Hologram
Needed: htcapi.dll & ati_d3dm.dll incl. Reg. Change, see here - When .NET CF3.5 is installed with htcapi.dll a conflict can occur that causes Opera to crash see here
Small issues with GSen turning the password-screen, sometimes making it difficult to reach the correct buttons. This is, however, a very minor issue, and does not hurt the overall performance in any way. Another user See Post 295 reports Generally works, but demands reset from time to time, not too often though.
Reported to work very well, actually better than GSen (faster, more stable).
Haali Reader
V.2.0b264
Works, but you have to reassign buttons, otherwise there is no way to list pages.
HandyMenu
V3.7
Working on WVGA, Icon is displayed in status bar so you have to disable TF3D to see it.
HandySync
Works fine. It is used to synchronize ?CalendarScope (a great PC calendar program!) with the HD. http://www.handysync.net/pocketpc/index.html NOTE: Your HD might block this program from working. You must read the following in order for it to work. It tells you what registry setting to change.
HDTweak
Working.
HiCalc
V2.5.1
See Post 223 - displays too small
HiCalc
V2.6
See Post 549 - Works and displays perfectly in WVGA. Best calc ever.
HTC equalizer
See Post 614 I installed HTC equalizer and did soft reset. I do not see it anywhere. not in any of setting menus, programs, list of all programs.
Works fine on the HD. The screen resolution is 400x240 in VGA mode. It looks OK but I have not been able to get the true 800x480 mode working in portrait mode.
iGo 8
V8.3.1.57021
See Post 295 Maps run quite well, screen resolution seems to be a bit of a problem in menus, otherwise fine.
iGo 8
V8.3.1.64873
With modded data.zip including 800x480 skins, works better than any version before.
iGo 8
V8.3.2.64029
With modded data.zip including 800x480 skins, works very fine.
iGo 8
V8.3.2.64873
With modded data.zip including 800x480 skins, works very well.
See Post 541 Thanx to uniqueboy from the diamond forum for this. Tried these on the HD and they work fine and look even bigger on the HD screen.

KKBox
Works but the skin does not fit the resolution of the screen. Not tested with WVGAFIX3 yet. KKBox is a taiwanese online music download program by the way.

Lotus Traveller
V8.5.0.0
From IBM - only used for Push email from Lotus Notes - so very specific
Lotus Sametime Mobile release
V7.5.1 Build 2007.04.16
Again specific to Lotus - requires Lotus Sametime on server
Works fine on the HD. The screen is stretched to fit, just the same as MK2007.
MapKing 2007
Build131
It works great under on the Touch HD. Only trouble is it looks wierd especially on landscape while navigating as the screen shows a very wide road covering almost 2/3 of the screen on the bottom side. But I think we can live with that.
NMEA on Com2 (or whatever com port is allocated under Settings/External GPS).
Memory Map
V5
See post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3002331#poststop. Cannot open map files larger than 100MB, roughly equivalent to free program memory. On Hermes and Athena could open maps over 250MB and Memory Map maximum size is 400MB, so this is a serious limitation compared to other HTC devices. Map files on memory card in all cases. Update from Memory Map support -- this seems to be a problem to varying degrees on all WM6.1 devices.
See Post 332 Works great,maps looked fantastic, only problem is the icon bar at the bottom of the screen are a bit corrupted, you can still see and use them so its no big problem.
Metro
V5.7.1
Microsoft Reader for PPC
V2.4.1 (Build 5323)
Cannot change pages without physical buttons.
Microsoft Tag Reader
V2.1.0.71
I have just tried the new "Microsoft Tag Reader" - colour bar codes - works fine. I'm actually very impressed. It starts super quick and accesses directly the camera and will snap out-of-focus codes fine and then link to the right URL. I wonder if this time it will be more successful than previous MS attempts in this field ...
Microsoft Voice Command (UK)
V1.60.4622.0
See Post 535 All working, except it won't announce incoming callers. No registry hacks necessary to get bluetooth headset (Jabra) working with it, just need to remember the headset needs a long keypress to activate Voice Command.
V1.6.19209
See Post 536 Mine announces incoming calls, without any hacks. Used MSVC_US_PPC_1.6.19209.bengalih.CAB
V1.6.19214
Works well on ?TouchHD. 'Dial Number' command appears to expect US style area code format, can't get it to recognise UK STD format, but all other functions working fine.
Great ringtone and sms tone control app. Works great. Full screen. There is some font overlay in the application but it does not hinder the performance at all. All the controls are still small as if on 2.8" screen.
MultiPad by(Mental Motions)
V2.8 VGA
A drawing and note-taking utility (ideal for taking drinks orders down the pub, or devising footy tactics). Works well on the Touch HD. The opening preview screen opens only 3/4 length of the screen (480 x 640), but after that it's full screen all the way. Earlier versions had a negative impact on performance (TouchFlo would start to crawl along), but no such issues with version 2.8
Mundu Radio
V1.09
(a form of digital radio player). You can log into it but the screen takes up about 1/8th of the HD screen which makes it unusable. Does not work properly on the HD. Does not work with the large screen. I saw a couple of HD users had tried it.
Works perfectly, looks great, works in both landscape and portrait mode. Make sure you google for the TomTom Navigator VGA black cab file (for instance ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab). Currently 8.35.2420 and 8.35.2421 are the latest maps which works.
