Theme Scheduler
Here is another useful Scheduler by Dr Jukka, this time its Themes Scheduling. The application is simple to use, you can set the day/ Time and frequency of the automation.

Y Fake Messages is an application that allows you to send fake messages to yourself. You can choose the time, day and sender in the options. It is a useful tool to remind yourself of things to do like the Calendar Memo feature. The application needs to be signed, which is a small drawback and details on the signing process can be found on my main page in section 3. Once the application is installed you will find it in the Main Menu screen inside the Dr Jukka folder not the applications folder.
SpeedCam
This application Alerts you when you nearing speed cameras whilst driving. I usually test all the applications before featuring them but i haven’t i this case, so i have taken most of the information from their website. It is designed to operate either in conjunction with Nokia Maps, or in the background (e.g. whilst using another application or in standby) and popup to the foreground with an audio visual alert, then return to the background. There are a number of file to install, and you will need to update speed camera info. The developer homepage gives you links for all the relevant details.
They have tested it on a N95-1 with Nokia Maps v.2., it also requires python to be installed.
Star Wars Imperial Ace
In this game you are the Imperial fighter, shooting down x-wings and other things.
There are really good quality graphics and guides. it was apparently originally used in Siemens phones and has been resized for N95. Use the Dark side!!
FreeCallsSprite
FreeCallSprite is a dial-up vibration application by junnikokuki that basically vibrates when you make a call until the other person answers the phone.

IfInfo
This freeware application by Yohanes allows you to see your N95 Internet Connection details like I.P address, DNS, Gateway and many others.
It is similar to using the PC command prompt ipconfig /all.
Theme launcher
To change themes on a N95 you have to go to Menu/tools/settings/general/personalisation/themes, well Theme launcher simply creates the themes folder in the application menu so you can move it to the main folder(root). This allows you to quickly change your themes. Its a really simple idea but really useful saving time and effort.
Theme Magic beta
This application use the accelerometer inbuilt in the N95 to Change themes when you shake your phone. This is a beta version and does not have full settings capability. I found it difficult to see the new changed theme before selecting it but i am sure this is something that will improve when the full freeware version is available. For more details on Theme Magic visit Symbian Freak
Beeper
Beeper is a freeware application by Ariek44 that is simliar to the popular Timebar. It can show the date, Time, Battery or signal strength or RAM use on the Inactive Screen. You will need to install Python for the applicaton to work, i have provided a copy in the zip file.
Generally Beeper is more customizable than Timebar, but both allow you to move the display around the screen using XY coordinates.
The Bar display type is changed by selecting “Bar info”. You can also set hourly alarm tones as with Timebar by creating .mp3 tracks. I have provided a Timebar set of basic hourly tones in the zip folder. You can change the hour alert range, though i did have problems getting the correct hourly time voice alert.
The screenshots left show the Options available in Beeper, you can “Restart your phone” start specific applications at allocated times as well as changing the colour of the text and background of the display.
For RGB Colours see ColorSchemer
For more details on Beeper see SymbianFreak
Nokia Internet Radio beta
Nokia have produced an Internet Radio application that allows you to listen to Radio stations from around the world via the Internet. You can browse radio stations by language, genre or most popular. There are added details which pop up as you browse each section like station details. If you connect via WLAN with a Music speaker system you can get a very good listening experience.
This application is still in beta version, which means there maybe small bugs which will be fixed in future versions. I personally had problems using GPRS internet connection with “Connection TimeOut” errors but with WLAN the connection was very good without any loss of signal. Download the application and get more details and demos from the Nokia website
Battery Voice
This freeware application speaks your Battery level out loud! After starting the application simply shake the phone to active the Battery Voice. This version is in English, but you could change the .wav files to your own language.
This application needs python installed and a copy is in the zip file. There are also images and sounds folders which need to be placed in External Memory Card: z / others.

This Battery widget simply shows your current battery level. Widgets only work on N95 with later firmware v.21 and N95 8GB. To Install widgets move the.wgz file to your phone, then open the file within the phone to start the installation process. The installed Widget is located in the applications folder.
iBattery and Clock Screensaver
This .swf file is a Screensaver that shows you battery strength and current time. The application can be viewed using the Flash lite player located in your Media folder on the phone.
If you want to display a Screensaver on your phone, you need to got to Menu / Tools / Settings / General / Personalisation / Themes / Power saver and then choose Animation. You can also change the time delays and back light.
G Desk
G Desk is an amazing application that allows you to customize your N95 and N95 8GB. In a way it is a bit like a theme where you can change the background and icons, but you can also position the icons where ever you want.
The G desk website has information on downloads, designs and even a forum.
You can download version 0.26a from their website here.
This application looks great and has lots of options, some shown left, but it does take a while to create the design you want.
You need to install the main application and any additional applications, provided in the zip folders Taskmanager, Icons, clocks etc.
The .gdd file are the background images and they need to be moved to a folder in your phone memory.
I would recommend taking a look at the designs first to get some ideas, it will take some time to create a look you want, but if you love customizing then this is an application for you!
DivX mobile player
To play .AVI video files rather than the mp4.Tutorial for creating .AVI video files here
The Latest version 0.90 produces an “Update Error” when updating from 0.89, this is easily fixed by removing the old application first, rather than Updating.
To remove the old version go to Menu/ App Mgr. locate the Divx Player and select Options/ Delete (Or press the “C” Button to delete).
Now you will be able to Install Divx 0.90 without any Problems.
WakeUpMe
Wake Up Me otherwise known as pyBudzik by the developer Damian is an application that allows you to change your default alarm sound to the Radio, LCGJukebox, FIVN player or “Other” application from z:/sys/bin.
It can open another application like realplayer by using this string Z:\sys\bin\MediaPlayer.exe but i cannot open a track just the application, so it is not so useful in this mode.
To set your Alarm tone to you favourite track go to Menu/Tools/Settings/General/Personalisation/Tones/ClockAlarmTone and choose the track from your Music Library.
You need to install Python to make the application work and i have supplied both applications in the zip folder.
ShakeSMS
Shake SMS is a freeware application by TongRen that uses the accelerometer in the N95 to open text messages when you shake the phone. There are good options and useful settings,
There are 3 versions available but the one i have linked in the title is the symbian signed version, so you can use it straight away.
Mobile Weather 1.1
Mobile weather is a freeware application that allows you to get weather forecasts for hundreds of different cities around the world. This application uses Yahoo weather as it source and therefore needs and internet connection to retrieve the initial data. It will remember different locations that you set and has good options for updating the forecast.

WorldMate is a freeware application that allows you to get Weather Forecasts, Currency info and World Clocks on your N95. This freeware version does not include other features available on the main screen (marked with a star). The weather info is not as detailed as Mobile weather but shows a 5 days forecast.

You are initially asked to register an email account.
Nokia DJ Mixer
This Nokia application came out in 2007 from th Nseries India website and is available for most Nokia Nseries phones. It basically allows you to mix tracks from your music library and also make Karoke tracks. You can create playlists and save them, which is really useful because gettings track is a little slow due to need to the constant Read data approval.
Although you can load a long playlist you can only mix 2 tracks at one time.
I have to say i found this application a lot of fun, its quite simple to use and if you play the phone through a stereo system the mixing sounds quite good
You can download the Jar file from the Title at the top or visit the Nseries India website to sign up here
Mp3 editor
Mp3editor is a tool to cut/join Mp3 on your phone. For me I prefer to edit mp3 on a pc with MP3DirectCut but this gives you the opportunity to do it anywhere from your mobile. The application has a few small problems: the Key options does not show up on the screen, and they are important to know they are
Use left soft key for menus and right key to cancel or exit.
1 & 3= Move start point to right
2= Reset start position
4 & 6= Move end point to left/right
5= Mark end point at current position
7 & 8= Adjust timing steps
Up, down keys= Volume control
Left, right keys= Move position mark
The other problem is that you edit in time(secs) rather than on a graph.
Although i have mentioned a couple of issues i must say i think its a really good application, and its gives you the option to create clips/edits where ever you are.
Syntrax
Syntrax is the first and only professional music software for the mobile phone. It is a sequencer, sound synthesis and sample editor all wrapped up in a nice little package! A mobile synthesizer in your pocket. Those are the quotes from the Syntrax website, i have to be totally honest, ive had this application sitting around for a while and havent posted it because i have no idea how to use it! I get totally confused at the intricate layout, but i am sure if you use this type of software you will understand it. The good news is the website has tutorials to download and more details.
S60 Ticker (Old free Version) (Latest trial Version)
S60 ticker allows you to show incoming Text messages in a Ticker tape scroll bar on your phone. It is a really good application with excellent settings allowing you to move the scroll bar, Enable Theme support, change scroll speed and many others. The advantage is that you can continue playing games, or writing messages whilst the incoming text.
Ok now the complicated bit, The Earlier version is freeware and the latest version but without the full Settings the latest Full trial version is not free. The earlier version needs one part to be signed! so you have a choice of visiting their Website and getting latest Trial version or download Free version (needs signing). Personally i use the earlier freeware version
Message Mirror lite
Message mirror Lite is a application that backsUp all your messages, even when you have deleted messages from your inbox. You can transfer messages via Bluetooth, Infrared and MMS. This is a freeware version of Message Mirror, both versions are available from the site Wireless-Labs look for the free version.
pyMoneta
This freeware application by Ariek44 allows you to move a coin of your choice around the screen. It needs python to be installed and uses the inbuilt accelerometer to control the coins movement. I have provided a zip folder with the necessary python and coins by Teo from symbian freak and myself. Click on the application name to download
pyPoziomica
This application by Ariek44 turns your n95 into a Spirit level! I’m always wanting to check how level things are REALLY i am, so this is great for me! Well i haven’t checked how accurate it is yet but its pretty cool. It needs python to be installed. You can change the backgrounds or leave it plain. I have provided a zip folder with python and the backgrounds from symbian freak which you could change at a later date.
Reboot or EQ reboot
This is a very basic Reboot application. There are no options once you press the button it will restart the phone . One good thing is that is signed so you can use it straight away.
PyRestart 2.00
This application requires Python to be installed on your phone. It doesn’t need signing which is good and has simple options with a Auto Restart feature. I really liked this application. When it restarts the phone there is no Nokia linking hands clip and no pin card request as with most of the other reboot apps.
NStarter 1.05
Nstarter is a Reboot application with the advantage of having loads of settings and shortcut options. The main disadvantage is that it is Unsigned, so you will need to sign it yourself or submit it to symbian signed (see signing process on main page)
NeoReboot
NeoReboot is a recent application that can Restart your Phone. The main drawback is that the application is unsigned.
Google Search
Google Search is a very quick way to search the internet from your phone. The application has a quick key that displays on your Inactive screen for around 3 seconds. I prefer to disable the key as it pops up too often for me and i use one of the 7 keypad shortcut buttons instead.
You can download the application from google mobile website.
If you prefer to install the application to your phone via PC you should be able to find a copy on mosh
AppQLaunch
Application Quick launch by Yohanes is a simple but very good freeware program that allows you to quickly open applications by name. To save time its a good idea to open it with a shortcut key, as shown in the second image. I also found it necessary to refresh the list in the options after installing, to bring up the full list of application available.
