Move from iPhone4 to HTC Desire HD


Ok, so i have an iPhone4 and have an HTC Desire on its way tomorrow.

Does anyone know if there are similar/best androids apps/tweaks similar to the iphone4:

These I use all the time and would find it difficult with then on a day to day basis, all cracked preferred....

Current iPhone4:
1. Cydia (install theme tweaks)
2. Installous (for cracked application)
3. Lockinfo (Show calendar, upcoming appointments and quick link to speed-dial favourites even on lock screen)
4. Dock 2.0 (multi-tasking app)
5. iFile (full explorer with copy/past/move/installer)
6. BiteSMS (extra functions like adding smileys)
7. Action Menu Plus (Copy/Paste manager with favourites and history)
8. iData (monitor wireless and gprs data usage)
9. MobileLog (groups all calls/missed on contact name)
10. Road Trip (manager for fuel, mileage, maintenance with backup/restore and has statistics on costing and fuel consumption)
11. Adobe Photoshop Express (edit, crop, enhance, alter pictures)
12. Jump (remote access program to access my computer from anywhere)
13. uCamPro (view my IP Cameras)
14. iBook (i have over 1,200 epub book)

Android equivalent suggestions please (Updaded 21/Mar/2011):

2. Applanet 2.7.8 (obtained already)
3. WidgetLocker... installed

5. ES File Explorer... installed

1. Not sure, think you'd need to be rooted to radically change the theme although there are some alternative themes on there.
2. Applanet 2.7.8 (obtained already)
3. I think it's called Widget Locker Pro.
4.
5. I use ES File Explorer, but another popular one is Astro File Manager
6. Handcent or Go SMS
7.
8. Net Counter
9. Part of the default contact manager
10.
11.

13.
14. There is an eBook reader on there by default, not sure what file format it reads though.

Damn near everything you want can be found for free(or is built into android), but since you prefer only cracked apps, I can't help.
 
Only reason why I stated Cracked Apps is because the FREE ones are not usually anywhere near as functional as a PAID app by my experience on the Iphone APP store... Like Sygic UK navigation is expensive and not free, and I don't know of my mentioned apps if they are actually free anyway.

Just doing to research before I start on it tomorrow and know what APP name to search for.

Aside from the Widget locker I mentioned, all the apps are free. Generally speaking, the free and paid versions of apps are the same but the free version will contain the odd ad here or there. Aside from some levels in Angry Birds, I've never found the ads intrusive.

There are a few apps which you get added extras if you pay, but I've never had the need to pay as the features in the free version do everything I need.

There's google navigation built in so you won't need to worry about navigation stuff.

Best have a look to see what's available to you before you start looking for cracks because I'm pretty positive you won't need them.

Take a look here to see if you can find what you're after -

i have an android HTC Wildfire and honestly don't think the ebook reader is as good as in iphone 4... i'm also searching for a good ebook reader. Suggestion i've got so far is Aldiko. Still haven't tried it out though
 
If you haven't already found the anti-virus you're wanting try lookout. I don't think you actually need anti-virus, but it wouldn't hurt to have it :)
