AutoLight - HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) auto adjust backlight function is a good idea with a not very good implementation. It must be said to HTC excuse that the light sensor is very noisy, especially at low light conditions.
Some alternatives do exist but are not very good or are Compact Framework application (not a very good idea for background application).
AutoLight is supposed to be a better implementation for the auto adjust backlight function.
Requirements and compatibility
AutoLight was developed for HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) with WM6.1 and it critically depends on HTCSensorSDK.dll, HTCUtil.dll and on a 10 levels backlight starting from value 1.
It has been reported to work with WM6.5 and on Rhodium (Touch Pro 2) and it might work on some other HTC phones.
AutoLight is a native application with a very low memory usage. On the other hand the Configurator requires Compact Framework 2 but it should be closed after the use.
The Configurator is designed for WVGA screens.

GPS Receiver Reset Utility GPS Receiver Reset Utility - Sometimes GPS receivers (at least my Hamlet HBTGPS20) stop working correctely (no or unstable fix). Hamlet advice is to reset it using a desktop Windows program that they provide. Unfortunately, this requires a BT enabled desktop or laptop PC. Very unpractical indeed!
This small utility can be used to reset GPS receivers

SetSIP SetSIP - Changing SIP (software keyboard) type is both cumbersome (that small finger unfriendly arrow near the SIP icon) and slow (the selection menu does not pop up for a noticeable time). Worse on Topaz (Diamond 2) the menu has 2 levels: one for selecting between Touch Input full QWERTY and Phone Keypad and one for selecting other SIP types
AutoAudioRoute AutoAudioRoute - At last VOIP works decently on many Windows Mobile 6.1 phones and it can be accessed using the standard dialer/phone application. The only problem is the sound trough the speakerphone instead of the earpiece
URL2Opera URL2Opera - As strange it might be OperaL.exe does not accept a .url file as command line parameter. Therefore, it is not possible to simply associate .url files to Opera and open them with it.
URL2Opera is a small application that extracts the URL from the .url file and passes it to Opera. This way the association became possible.
Install
Run URL2Opera.cab
