So I searched but found no such thread. Let's get the ball rolling. I just started using Android but let me start with some obvious ones, but good ones.

-Taskiller: Lets you terminate otherwise memory hogging apps still running in the background

-Facebook: right now just shows the minifeed but decent

-Pandora: y'all know what this is

-Ringdroid: turn your mp3s/music files into ringtones.

Last.fm - good for my last.fm folk

The Weather Channel - Comes with the app and the widget. The latest versions have gone a bit overboard with the weather alerts but it's still worth it imo.

Locale - Dynamically change your phones settings based on location, time of day or whatever. I use this to toggle my wifi on/off depending on if I'm in my house. It's also great for switching your ringtone and volume settings to something more work appropriate as needed.

Mobile Defense - Helps you locate and retrieve your phone if you ever lose it. It's free, for now.

Better Keyboard - I'm digging this one better than the Android default. It's fast, has big keys and it's skinnable.

I'll be back with more later.

for example, i have it set to the phone automatically sets itself to vibrate when i go to work

the hell? That is a SICK sounding app!

name. What is the icon of this program or full name?

you can install the Barcode scanner from the market then just scan the barcode on that page. It'll take you right to it.

Hmmmm.

It keeps saying it can't find it in the market.

Barcode scanner - scans/decodes barcodes. Highly useful.

Shop Saavy - works with barcode scanner to let you look up prices and reviews for products on the fly.

Amazon - lets you scan a barcode or take a picture of a product to find the matching item (plus reviews) on Amazon.

That's one of the cool things about Android. It's designed so that different programs can all use each other.

I'm talking to a few companies who have this idea but all of the prototypes have specific ass ways that the picture must be taken in order for it to work in the high 60 percentile so I'm so far unimpressed.

I'm going to have to pick up an android phone soon to test these apps since it will round out my business' research.

I've never run across a standard upc that I haven't been able to scan. Once you get the code number it's up to the app to know what to to with it.

It also works with qcodes.

based off of the way the picture was taken. I'll check on these though and thanks for giving me a great reason to excuse the expense of an android phone in the near future :-)

It's not a problem cuz it uses live video to get the scan instead of a single picture. It usually takes less than 20 seconds to get a good fix.

I use it to backup all my shit between flashing new ROMs. They'll even upload your data to their online service, if you trust them. It's paid but it's served me well in the past.

I'm going to give it another month or so and then dive into it.

In your opinion, what's the best ROMs to root to? Cyamogen still worth while with all the C&D BS? I've heard about a few other ones, but that seems to be rather popular among the Lifehacker folks.

Rooting is inherently dangerous and I don't feel like beta testing for some random modder that has half a dozen people in their user base.

As a result, I just hop to whoever the biggest modder at the moment is and let their followers do all the testing for me. I wait a little while after each stable release before upgrading.

This gesture shit is amazing

there's still some little things here & there that bugs me about Maps, but Navigation + My Maps = awesomeness.

Now if they only was to make an app for Google Docs, Docs To Go is nice & all but having docs automatically synced to ya account would be the next level of dopeness

It hasn't been officially released yet but it's Out There.

Here's a clip of it in action:

..forgot the name of it but I was amped and just -KNEW- it was gonna be THE touchscreen keypad that I'd toy with until Android did anything. And as time went on ish is forgotten. Dope that this is capitalizing on that idea of swipe typing.

I don't even try to spell words correctly anymore lol. You can miss letters or hit them out of order and it all just somehow works out. Magic.

which is the exact same idea.

it works pretty well for swiping words, but terribly for regular typing, which is quite annoying. I've been hoping Swype was better, I gotta go track it down.

edit: damn, doesn't look like there's one for the G1/Dream

which is good because sometimes you need to train it. I had to teach it "okayplayer" for example.

It takes the artists you listen to from Last.fm and then tells you where they are doing concerts. If there is one near you it alerts you.
So far so good.

(I checked your OKP profile, no stalker-o).

Reason I'm asking is because on the comments for Locale it looks like some users are having issues with the program pinpointing their location through GPS, thus defeating the purpose of the app. Also some are saying that the beta worked better than the $10 release for some reason; I just want to make sure that its coo in your area before I commit to the 10 bones, but it does sound like a kick ass app.

Also, how's your battery life on it? Sounds like it could really drain the shit outta your phone though.

I haven't had any major issues with it pinpointing my location. The trick is to define your regions to be a little bigger than the actual area. It only checks where you are every 15 minutes or so so you need to give it some room to work with.

One thing I've noticed is that every time they push out an update, people complain that the previous version worked better. I haven't had a problem though. You can always buy it and return it in that 24 hour window.

I get more than a day with Locale on which is all I need because I charge my phone every night. I think part of the reason is that I use Locale to turn off my wifi unless it detects that I'm at home. I've noticed that it occasionally turns the wifi back on briefly but I believe that's done on purpose.

Stupid Irvine and their non-tower-having asses. But yea good looks, didn't know you could even return these apps. I may just have to test that bad boy out now.

Some more options would be nice.
More than anything I wish I could white balance it.

Any hope of ever getting a Google Wave application in anyone's estimation?

I know shit about coding, so would that even be possible?

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/04/30/official-twitter-app-android-arrives/

I'm digging it so far. Dunno if I'm gonna switch from Seesmic but you can tell they put a lot of thought into making this thing unique but not bloated.

Cuz all the ones out there now suck.

Works great on NESOID.

For instance, I've got like the sports/weather/word-of-the-day/stocks/etc widgets all running and it's draining my battery like a motherfucker, but the Battery Usage app doesn't differentiate which specific app is draining more or less and so on..... stuff like that.

I've never used it but it seems like it gets the job done.

I think AndroidForums is one of the more popular forum sites for users:
http://androidforums.com/

Since the last update via Google for my Cliq, the one I had doesn't work. I can't find one that does work actually. Anybody know of one that does work?

But on the Moto Droid and Incredible there's a native widget called Power Control that allows you to immediately toggle on/off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Auto-Refresh (not sure what this does) and screen brightness. Incredibly handy and it's actually on my primary home screen.

I thought you were G1 for life. How is it?

the sheer speed makes up for the lack of a hardware keyboard. Plus, this thing is more ROM friendly. They don't even attempt to lock it down.

It's on the Cliq, hold the power button for a second and you can toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and airplane mode. Not an app per se, but an incredibly easy way to tweak the phone for some power saving.

I sort of go back and forth between Galactic Core and Magic Smoke. I like EarthRot, but it always freezes on me, so I don't use that anymore.

I also downloaded a Photo Gallery Live Wallpaper, but didn't like the way it resized or didn't resize the photos.

It was attractive and had a reasonable UI. However, I couldn't figure out how to manage my play queue on the device which was a deal breaker for me.

Really kick ass to see exactly what resources each particular process uses, and doubles as a task killer as well.

Also, this is a sweet site for app browsing:

http://www.appbrain.com/

A lot of the hardcore devs even say that they do more harm than good.

It's just interesting to see in detail how each process is handled by the OS, as System Panel shows which ones are active/foreground/cached, etc. I mentioned its capacity for task killing just as an FYI for heads that are into it.

Speaking of processes, this is an awesome article on how Android manages everything.

Slicker interface than Shazam and it seems like it recognizes songs faster, but there was some random song out there that it didn't identify that Shazam was able to... which obviously defeats the whole purpose of the thing.

Just curious if others are experiencing that same discrepancy...

more soon enough.

I browsed this thread and got some ideas, but if one of you (Nopayne?) can recommend some free starting apps, that would be great. This is my first smart phone, so I'm walking in the dark here.

Thanks in advance!

I hear good things about Kindle. Haven't tried it yet.

I have a few apps that are about 80% complete. I could use some gui help
if anybody wants to collaborate

but my plate is full with my own apps that'll never get finished. Feel free to bounce some ideas off my inbox if you need input though.

looking forward to doing some things with it

SeptaDroid, I got 600 downloads in the first week. I was not expecting that many downloads with no advertisment

but I lost the battle against apathy.

baaah well

well if you ever come to Philly and need to take public transpo
you know what to download.

.

That's what I plan on specializing in.
Check out my other app "Philly Traffic Cameras"
I'm willing to share code if you want to do similar apps for your city.

There's less of a chance of a big corporation coming in and steamrolling over your app.

i see 10k dl's for the septa joint, and 5k for the traffic cam joint (that's got much better reviews).

is the ad revenue stream steady for as long as all those folks are using it?

not trying to be in your b.i. (and can inbox if necessary), but i'm trying to see if this is worthwhile as an erstwhile side hustle.

You have to have over 100k users to see any real money from ads.
Between my two apps, I make about 6 dollars a day, barely enough
to buy lunch. I plan on making a premium version and use in-app
purchasing when it becomes available. I should have put it at .99
like I originally planned but I didn't think anybody would buy it
since there were other free ones.

I don't want to sound like it wasn't worth it. It was.
the reason I went with ads instead of charging for it was
because I wanted an ongoing stream to he pay for ongoing
development. With a public trans app every time they update the
schedules, which is often, I have work to do. In hindsight I
would have done the opposite. I have almost 20k users @ .99 a
download. When in-app advertising goes live, I charge to get rid
of the ads plus extra features.

from the other various sites, and then have your app get updated from the server? (push or pull)

i got ideas for apps, but don't do java (yet). i'm tryna do the math in my head on the best approach.

$6/ day for around 15-20k users (from ads) for one geo... if it was a national app and only, say, 20x that in terms of install base, that would translate to around 20*6 / day, so 120*365 = a bit over 40k/yr, which would be very decent to start with. especially with the option of parlaying that and doing a .99 version.

if a 10th of the users, so 40k, opted for the paid version, that would be 40k. but if the rest remained on the free version, that would be .9 * 40k or another 36k, for a total of about 70k. from modest results off of just one idea. and i got all types of ideas, ability to provide detailed design and functional specs (do that at work, anyway). and would be good at marketing.

this is really making me want to take the plunge.

as in an app that can give you a list of comic books (like Marvel + DC, superhero shit (and others)) that release every Wednesday. I found two free ones, both not very good, and a pay one that had poor word of mouth, so I avoided it.

might be hard to program, that's not my field, but if people are playing with apps, I can tell you there's a need for a good one.

and yes selfishly I just want a good one for myself.

I download apps constantly to see what's new and innovative out there, and I've found that the following list has always been reliable on my Droid:

LauncherPro (home replacement, used to FC all the time but after the new update it's stable)

Handcent SMS (miles better than the stock Messaging app)

Weather and Toggle Widgets (to get an exact replica of that dope HTC flip clock. Better than Beautiful Widgets)

Photo Frame Deluxe (I have it set to cycle the album covers of Things Fall Apart, Low End Theory, Black on Both Sides, Mos and Kweli are Black Star, and Donny Hathaway's Live album)

Folder Organizer (so I can change the icons of my home screen shortcuts. WAY easier to use and more stable than Better Cut)

ColorNote (much more visually appealing than AK Notepad)

Setting Profiles (the widget provides a quick way to change my setting profiles based on time of day and where I am)

Advanced Task Killer (put the widget on my home screen and tap it after every time I use the phone - extends my battery life by hours)

Mabilo Ringtones (tons of ringtones for free... has a ton of underground hip-hop on it as well)

Twidroid Pro (way better than the official Twitter app.)

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/09/03/mobile-app-echoecho-makes-check-ins-personal/

This week, we inadvertently stumbled across a pretty neat, cross-platform, geo-location mobile app titled echoecho. The premise behind echoecho is simple: instead of using a service like Facebook or foursquare to broadcast where you are, it offers a way of requesting the location of a single friend. The application integrates with your phone’s address book and sends a message to friends asking: “Where are you?” If your echo’ed friend chooses to reply, you are given their location and can then view that location — complete with the distance between the two of you — on a map . It is definitely an interesting, more personal twist on geo-location. We can see the service being useful in crowded bars, clubs, and the work place; amongst other locations/situations. Echoecho is available for Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Symbian, and Windows Mobile. If you’re interested in learning more, hit the read link to check out ee’s website or your mobile platforms app store to download the goods.

Running this with Locale gives you the ultimate in android automation. So far I've set up a profile to turn on GPS and alter the volume when running Google Nav, and another one to up the screen brightness and turn Wifi on whenever plugged in. But folks have been able to program profiles that txt-to-speech received SMS messages and turn on Pandora whenever the phone is plugged into a car dock.

Its a bit steep in learning curve, but well worth the price.

Peep the lifehacker articles on it to give you more of an idea of what it can do:

http://lifehacker.com/5599116/how-to-turn-your-android-phone-into-a-fully+automated-superphone

a trillion thanks for this

I don't think you even need Locale, since it has a location polling option too. I guess there are some Locale plug-ins that might be useful, but I haven't run into any situations like that yet.

It's a really powerful app. If anyone else uses Tasker, share the profiles you've cooked up! Always looking for nice tricks to get the most out of automation.

i'll have to scope this more later

- East Village Radio is full of great radio shows by great DJs. Stretch Armstrong and Eli Escobar have once called Delancey Music Service that is always full of good shit.

I'll be back with more later

Just links my existing contacts with Facebook profile pictures?

Any good whole food type apps out there? I'm looking for apps that tell me what type of veggies/fruits are in season in my area. I would benefit from an app like that.

Since I was in the hospital for a few days (new baby), I've had a LOT of time to tinker around with some apps. Here's what got me through all my sleepless nights in between feeding times:

Subsonic - access your home server's stash of music. 30 day free trial, with mandatory "donation" thereafter.

PocketCloud - for connecting to Remote Desktop. It has a nifty pointer function to emulate mouse clicks. Free version can only save 1 connection and doesn't have pinch-to-zoom. Seriously considering paying for it, especially since it's cheaper than LogMeIn.

NeoRouter Free - Great for use in combination with PocketCloud, esp. if you don't have a static IP or use dyndns.

MangaReader

SNESoid - playing Chrono Trigger and Zelda: Link to the Past right now. Having a phone with a hardware keyboard helps.

- I think this may be just me, but the font on my phone is unnecessarily large, maybe it's just my phone, the Epic 4G. They could fit more feeds on the screen with a smaller type. The larger size blows up the favicons to be really pixelated.

I will say I love the sync with the desktop google reader and being able to search my feeds is nice also.

All I want for Christmas is for my laptop (ubuntu) and mobile (captivate, 2.1 ugh) music libraries to be in sync in an easy, painless, beautiful way.

but if you must use an app, I've had luck with RhythmBox on Ubuntu.

shit just starts playing upon audio plug going in? sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Folder support so it only plays music in my main music folder on SD card and the niceness of interface is just winning combos in my book.

If you have a large music catalog and limited storage on your phone, then you need that in your life.

like the fact that you have the option of viewing a scan of the original version or viewing it as flowed text. i think the flowed text version is done by a robot though cause mad words are wrong or jumbled.

well behind the stock browser in terms of speed, some pages don't render as well as stock (e.g. a couple sites I found that uses frames), and I'm not sure if flash is working much if at all from the few pages I came across. but the syncing between desktop FF with history bookmarks and passwords? win win win win win win!!!

look forward to when they @ the very least speed this up to be more usable.

I'm due for a Nexus S at the start of February.

i seem to be getting decent battery life out of my droid x without it. but i've only been running through a handful of apps and i'm wondering if i'll start to see a noticeable drain as i use the phone more.

do most of you use task killers, or even just manually go in and end apps that are running in the background, or do nothing?

http://card.mygamercard.net/lastgame/rjcc.png

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

It's more of a monitor than a task killer. It checks for any problems and warns you if any apps are doing anything dumb.

That said I get maybe like one warning every other month. You don't need a damn task killer.

to above, desrcibing Android's management of multitasking/killing applications. good stuff.

get the Tasker app. It's about $7 IIRC, but if you want to micro-manage every possible little thing on your phone, it's well worth it. An example of things you can do:

http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

(fuck a swipe, it pastes ugly... just scroll to the bottom of the page to Usage Examples)

there are free (no save state) versions of emulators for not just SNES, but nes and genesis too!?

ideally, i'd like to just scroll side to side from my home screen. e.g., one slide to the right for all my AV apps (camcorder, camera, photoshop), another slide to the right for all nav/gps apps, another slide for all games, etc.

i am sure there is a totally simple way to do this. do i need a new launcher? if so, which one?

Long press on the desktop and select Folders > New folder.

You can drag icons onto the folder to add.

Tap the folder and long press its name to rename it.

works for now.

This could be old news, but for those of you with long commutes and that are not familiar with Google Maps and its Traffic widget, you’ll want to pay attention. With this widget, you can set up a variety of locations that will in real-time, update to show you how long it may take you to get there depending on your current location. So as you can see, I’ve set up a few including a BBQ spot across town. According to Google Maps and its live traffic reporting, it should take me around 17 minutes to get there in some not so friendly (red) traffic. However, if I want to head down to Deschutes Brewery which is only 10-12 blocks away, it should take me just a couple of minutes.
To set these up, all you have to do is open up a home screen, long press, and choose Widgets>Traffic. After that you can name it in the first box, and then jump to the second to search for a particular location or plug in a specific address. Simple right?

So far I've got:
* Angry Birds
* Meganoid
* Stupid Zombies
* Slice It

If you like Geometry Wars from XBLA then Pew Pew is a great extension of that for Android.

Pew Pew is free and has four "Infinite" game types for high scoring and Pew Pew 2 is $2.99 but well worth it I thought. It has 3 additional Infinite game types on top of the original 4 and it also has a fun Campaign mode with three difficulty levels.

that you need to be online to use. ugh.

aka the free-app-of-the-day you cannot use it unless you have a data connection.
whether it uses data or not, like single player games.
havent found a workaround yet.

I've gotten a couple of the free apps of the day and never had a problem with data. I download them via wifi and don't have an issue.

it could be those specific apps. I'm definitely sure it's not amazon.

They probably have some DRM that wants to phone home every once in a while.

this is actually the case?

cuz I just put my phone on airplane mode and I still loaded up this amazon appstore copy of angry birds rio


http://card.mygamercard.net/lastgame/rjcc.png

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

and everything works now. im not sure how that would affect old apps i downloaded, but everything works now.
but i still think that if you delete the amazon store app, apps wont run.

ok, cuz I was like o_0


http://card.mygamercard.net/lastgame/rjcc.png

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

not as bad as how it sounded before though.

and devs have a choice to use amazon's DRM or not. So I'm sure
amazon doesn't disable apps when the network is unavailable. The
individual devs can do that but not amazon

how do i use this thing here? it's a galaxy s2.

Anyone know of a way to secure this phone? I heard they are easy to hack from someone who is into security and goes to Blackbox each year.

But if you're still just wanting to toss something on there, NetQin or Symantec's app is fine.

now I just need to figure out what to take off this thing...Spring comes with a lot of stuff.

And the default Internet app sucks.

I wonder if I should root.

How does it compare with Android's options?

Though more and more, I don't see myself having a lot of need for it...but if I'm going to be away from home for a while, I could pull up a DAW, export a track, encode it to .mp3, and send it to Thunderbird (or sendspace) to email someone...and as useful as things like SugarSync etc can be, direct control is obviously more powerful.

it upgraded to a new version. it doesn't even show up on the desktop interface anymore and shit i search for isn't there.

Maybe try uninstalling it completely, then reinstalling it after a restart?


That'd be terrible if they put out a version with a bunch of new bugs, but it might just be optimized for coming OS updates. That'd be dumb to do out of order like that, though.

then it is by design. you have to clear the market data, change the lcd density to 160 from 161, then reboot.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20119498-245/phony-netflix-android-app-steals-account-data/?tag=cnetRiver


It looks like a legitimate Netflix app, but it's not. There's an Android app circulating that looks very much like the real Netflix mobile app, but it's actually a Trojan that steals account information.
The fake app, which was found on an online user forum, sends the user's log-in information to a remote server and displays a message saying there is an incompatibility issue with the hardware and then attempts to uninstall itself, according to a Symantec blog post.
The server that was receiving the stolen log-in data appeared to be offline today, Symantec said.
With the pilfered log-in information, the app creators could hijack accounts and they might have access to some information. However, they won't be able to easily get to the credit card data because the site only displays the last four digits of the card number. So it's unclear how they planned to make money off the scam. It might be a test run for a phony mobile banking app, which could yield access to much more sensitive information.
Typically, malicious apps are versions of legitimate apps that have been modified to include malware and then repackaged and distributed. But in this case, the app is a completely different program.
Confusion over the release of the real Netflix app created an opportunity for the app creators and increased the chances that people would get duped into downloading the malicious app, Symantec said in the post. Netflix offered an Android app in limited release to only certain devices earlier this year, but recently published its app on the Android Market with support for multiple devices.
"A gap in availability, combined with the large interest of users attempting to get the popular service running on their Android device, created the perfect cover for Andoid.Fakeneflic to exploit," Symantec said.
People should be careful where they get their apps and download them from trusted sources only.

I believe that people who downloaded this trojan are people who installed the app outside the android market because Netflix was not available for their respective device. As long as you install apps that are in the android market, you should be fine. If you are side-loading apps it's only obvious you should be cautious.

idea of a freer distribution of apps than the fully centralized exchange, caveat emptor isn't so appealing when there's so much malware being coded up in the wild.

but with a button click and not all that command line shit i was doing on a regular basis. Then i got this. Then i stopped cleaning the screen before i recalibrated. as a matter of fact i made the screen as dirty as i could with my fingers without fing anything up and did it. NOW it works perfect and I never have to use it but it was way too sensitive before.

http://www.androidcentral.com/slew-popular-apps-suddenly-are-10-cents-android-market

Something interesting is going on in the Android Market this morning. A bunch of our favorite apps are suddenly going for a dime, with no real rhyme or reason for the discount. @dirkyd3rlc and @Pat_Huey on Twitter alerted us to SwiftKey and Minecraft on sale for 10 cents, and we've found others. (Update: And in the UK, the apps are going for 10p each, not 6p, which would be converted from 10 cents U.S. We definitely smell a trend here.)

Here's the list as it stands.

Great Little War Game
SketchBook Mobile
Paper Camera
Sound Hound
Asphalt 6
Fieldrunners HD
SwiftKey
Minecraft
Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro
Color and Draw for Kids

So hopefully more will turn up.

Lets you customize what color/frequency your light flashes when a missed call/SMS/google+/email/etc. notification comes in

Not with GPS but with a sound. I am thinking it will work like this: When I lose my phone, I can call a number, enter a code, and the phone will emit a noise. It would be cool if it even let's me select the tone that will be emitted. Is there an app like that?
