No prob! I love this community. I am learning a lot and sharing all of this will definitely improve the device/apps/our usage of it!

Now are there any apps that are people looking for? I believe I have exhausted all of my wants, app-wise, now. No doubt tomorrow I will think of something. Ooh, wait. Maybe a Mint app? To keep track of my banking stuff? But then I would definitely need to get the app that allows you to remotely find it and turn it off/protect it.
 
Ringdroid - works well, app to create a custom ringtone based on your own audio file

My coupons - everyday update on various discounts from different stores
 
aCar - Let's you track Mileage & Fuel/Repair expenses, nice charts
aDyno - Dynomometer/Accelerometer/G-Meter - decently accurate
DinoDyno! - Simliar... yet to test
Anywhere - Displays GPS Coordinates, Speed, Elevation, Heading - Really simple
Astro - Awesome File Management
Last.FM - Works great
Color Flashlight - Works, but is GHEY, wish there was an APP to use the Insanely bright FLASH
Lightning - Lightning distance calculator
Mileage - Lets you track vehicle mileage
Ringdroid - Lets you chop MP3's to use as ringtones
Photostitch Free - Stitches Photos together to create panoramic ones
Rings Extended - Replaces Android for choosing how to select ringtones (Lets you set MP3 as ringtone).
Wardrive - Scans WIFI points, and lets you log them, export to KML, and upload to database!! Awesome tool.
TasKiller - Lets you kill those stupid apps that stay running....
 
DG Quickcut - allows you to make shortcuts on the homescreen that you can rename. Allows you to make keyboard shortcuts....ie....I can hit search and "D" and I have it set to automatically start a text message to my roomate Dave. Can also make dropcuts. You can have a shortcut to a program that stays in your notification menu...very nice if you need quick access to something frequently.

Pkt Auctions Ebay - decent mobile Ebay app

Craigsphone - decent craigslist app

Power Manager - let's you set profiles based on certain conditions (battery level, on AC power,etc) or you can manually switch

I gotta get movin and download a few of these. Thatnks for the list
 
Three Days with this phone here is my top app's I have

Advanced Task Manager - This app is a great task killer and task manager all in one. I choose this over Advanced Task Killer because of its smaller font, more detailed memory usage, and ability to see/kill all the system processes. They are both great apps though.

BatteryLife - Love this widget even if it does take up two spots. Has a cool looking battery icon along with the temp of the battery, voltage, type, and status.

Locale - You can do a lot with this app. You can set conditions based off of your battery status, calender events, contacts, location (based off GPS, WiFi, or Towers), or time......and then create a specific setting based off those such as ,Turn on/off Ringer, Turn on/off WiFi, Change Wallpaper, display notification. So much you can do. I have it turn off my ringer whenever I am at work.

SportsTap - Great app if you like keeping track of your favorite sports and teams.

cab4me - Find yourself needing a cab with no numbers or idea where to call? Based off your location it will find a series of cab companies in your area.

Barcode Scanner - There is a few of these types of programs out there. This one works great for me. Scan a barcode, do a google product or web search on it and find prices online as well as info/picture of the item.

For Gamers - Nesoid (NES Emulator), SNesoid (SNES Emulator) and Gensoid (Sega Emaultor). D-Pad / Keyboard takes some getting used to but can't complain with being able to play any old gaming system game ever on my phone. But if anyone knows of a solid Micro USB Game Controller that works please let me know.
 
i tried to find beautiful widgets in the market but was unable to do so. is that the actual name of it? Am I jst an idiot and cant see it right in front of me?

Hmm, I'm going to have to try Wifi On/Off again because it didn't work for me, same with Bluetooth On/Off but I'd really like to have both working.

EDIT: Ok, I'm an idiot - I didn't know how to add widgets before this. Wifi On/Off works perfectly for me now. Bluetooth On/Off doesn't work though, it just sits there always off.

Bluetooth on/off fails for me too. I added the bluetooth settings button to the homepage though; a click or 2 extra, but easy enough.
 
Were can I get the games for

  • NESoid Lite - NES Emulator, I now have 400+ Original Nintendo Games that work well. Though the controls with the DPad and A+B buttons take getting used to.
  • SNESoid Lite - Same thing but SNES emulator. Works pretty well.
Thanks much

Thank you very much!

I have been going through the list adding applications and testing things out. So far everything has worked a treat! I love the 7 screens with Openhome. The more I use the phone to customize it, the more I appreciate just what we have with the fantastic open source OS.
