Must Have Android Apps

[gcobb]

ADW doesn't have a switch for 4G. But I use Quick Settings. I have a shortcut to it on the desktop. I love it. Gives many access to many items.

You can make quick buttons, profiles, battery indicators and tons more with Tasker.

(That was my shameless plug)

I prefer widgetsoid2.x because it actually does have a 4G toggle. And it's free and customizable.

Well I'm really liking Dolphin HD, superior to the stock browser so far from the looks of it

I installed it not long ago. I think I can ditch a few others now. It has some things to learn with it.

I am taking statistics at my local university. The TI-83 downloaded from the market, beats paying over $100 bucks from any retailer.

i thought you still need the TI-83 for this to work, i guessed wrong

For musicians, the gstrings app is an accurate tuner. If I only could find a good, RTA app.

Didn't even realize there was a Texas Instruments app! That's great to know for my business purposes.

Best music program I've seen is Tunein Radio. Great music app, crystal clear, pick your own genre, and listen to stations nation-wide. Listened to LA, Boston, and Dallas this morning. Amazing! (and that's my 2 cents worth) Also like Parcels for tracking packages.

OK, I am really liking Flex T9!

(imobsters) add me hma55g and pjykxx

(advanced task killer)

and (lookout)

those are my top 3 must have apps

I'll highlight a few I've downloaded recently:

Custom Car Home: I recently ordered and received a Seidio Innotraveler car dock for my EVO so I was looking for a car home replacement. CCH is perfect for me, all I needed was something clean with in-your-face icons and this delivers. No fuss.

File Expert: I discovered this through necessity. The kernel I'm using for my ROM doesn't allow file transfer through USB and I didn't feel like using ADB everytime so I looked for a solution. This app is a file manager much like WiFi File Explorer except this is free for all the features. I find transferring files OTA fairly fast and there's support for both HTTP and FTP. There's also a SMB feature which I haven't used.

If y'all haven't experienced the AMAZINGNESS of Touch Calendar, y'all are a bunch of jive-ass turkeys.

I had some minor issues with Launcher Pro. So I tried ADW and it wasn't any better. So I tried Go Launcher. Although it has less themes, it runs noticeably faster. When I click on the Applications folder it has tabs for All, Recent and Running. You can kill apps that are running there if they are left open. I have more available memory after using that front end than with the other two. I'll sacrifice a few options for speed.

I can also tell by how fast the phone starts up which one drags the phone down more.

SIAP -

SwiFTP - no more plugging in to the computer. Now the Shift is a WiFi network resource for photo uploads and music downloads by drag and drop.

No more "preparing SD card" - slower than USB but for the convenience, who cares?

how do I set this up with windows 7?

How to Link (Map) an FTP Server or Directory in Windows 7

With SwiFTP, they'll tell you the ftp string to input - it's going to look something like:

ftp://192.168.0.9:2121

You won't need the share name, but if Windows insists, suggest you try:

ftp://192.168.0.9:2121/sdcard

That ought to do it.

Put it on my Evo, too.

BTW, FWIW and by your leave - I recently checked out the new EStrongs File Explorer - so far, I liking it WAY better than Astro, especially for LAN file browsing and the more flexible customizations.

Also - using their ES Security Manager for locking down a (hopefully never) lost phone.

Finally - Wheres My Droid - because I'm tired of calling WifelyMon's phone!!!

Try Total Control if you want to secure your phone or locate it when it's lost.

I typed it in the Market search and it came up.

So I go the market and type "total control" (both with and without quotes) and get "78" results. On the FIFTH page of results I find this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.care

That link is for "Total CARE"...was that what I am trying to look for or am I being a putz??

THANKS!
