Must Have Apps

ASTRO File Manager may work (I'm pretty confident that it will)

when you open it, you will have to:
1. push the "UP" button which will take you to the "root" folder (it will show only a "/" when you look at the top) of the phone.
2. click on the system folder
3. click on the app folder.
4. long press on the app you want to copy,
5. select edit,
6. select copy.
7. then push the "UP" button again til you get back to that "/" folder,
8. go to your SDCard,
9. click on edit (at the top)
10. then paste....
11.


otherwise, if they are already stored on the sdcard, just skip the steps i listed and upload the file in your next post (its under the "additional options") at the bottom of the page when you are replying to a message

Sooo....before I begin I'll apologise....I'm a Noobasaurus.......
^This^ will save applications to the Micro SD card in the Eris? And then these applications can be used from there? And this will free up phone memory?

no.
this just backs up the apps so you can reinstall if you need to.
there is currently no way to run an app from the SD card.

though since the kernal version was released today im sure someone is working on it

i'm looking for calorie counter app. the newest version 1.13 no longer does ww points and my wife really wants this feature back. anyone have an earlier version that was NOT updated since 4/30?

Oh man...I have bad news : < Calorie Counter is a private app, so I can't back it up :( Sorry. I thought it was funny that I got an error message when I tried to back it up. Hopefully the dev responds to the complaints and put WW back on again.
 
Can anyone recommend any good Caller ID apps, preferably free (or at least low price)?

Thanks!
Big kudos to everyone for all the great info that's been posted.

Thanks for the quick response, I just did it on the computer and transferred it to my phone so I got it, but thanks a lot anyways.
 
@ andrizoid: fyi your QR doesn't seem to be working, I tried the WW QR a couple of posts up and it's fine, but with yours, the camera kept on 'focusing'
 
Some of my favorite apps are:

Trip It - travel itinerary organizer. Works great for keeping all your flight and hotel info in one place.

Timeriffic - change ringer volume and vibrate settings based on a schedule automatically

AutoLock - tired of putting in your security pattern every time your phone turns off. Autolock allows you to set a period of inactivity before requiring your security pattern.

Shazam - great for identifying songs

Places Directory - as stated in a previous post...great way to find places near your location

Hey, wondering how this app is on your battery? I think it's draining my battery at an alarming rate :( 5 hours and only 20% battery left and this is with 10 minutes playing with the phone and 2 hours listening to music. I downloaded Astro and this yesterday...uninstall astro just to see if it's the culprit..but it seemes that timeriffic is the cause :(

I used it for a period of time on my Motorola Droid and it absolutely killed my battery.

I have not noticed much difference at all regarding battery life since I started using it several months ago.

Ah damn...I thought this was a good alternative to Locale if you don't use 3G :( Do you know of a similar app that isn't a battery hog?

Anyway I can get tv.com on 2.1v3? It is not in the market.

Just do a google search on any app you can't find and there is a pretty good chance you will find it. (ie... tv.com apk). Download the apk file and you're good to go.
