So I got g1 last night and I love it, downloaded a few apps from market so I figured I would share recommendations for apps I have so far. First tmobile hot spot locater is a must. Also got myspace which is cool but not really needed. Wikimobile is awesome, a must have and any cut program allows you to place shortcuts on homescreen on just about anything on your phone, including battery. Which programs has everyone else found useful, recommend?

Anycut: ***** Great little app that makes anythign info a desktop shortcut. Very handy for battery info and network settings
Bonzai Blast**** Amazing and addicting game. Only proble is that it sucks your battery life
WikiMobile**** Does a great job of mobile implementation of Wikipedia. Great for looking up facts on certain things. Try looking up the G1

Would you recommend it over shopsavvy? Updated my first post as well, by the time I'm done my first post will take up the first page lol.
As far as the file manager its a good start but can't open most of the files which sucks.

Cool thanks gonna switch em out right now!
I didn't like the solitare interface. It was a forced landscape, and the card sizing is funky...not the cards themselves, but the symbols/numbers. They should've taken a cue from WinMo and made the hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades oversized so that they're more visible.

Hi all, I'm due to start a new training regime and decided that a bit of a new toy will help keep me motivated!
I've seen an application for iphone that tells you your time, distance and speed whilst you're running. Does anyone know of a similar bit of software for the touch HD?
Thanks in advance,
Martin
Take a look here.
iRun
But I think it's not free
NoniGPSPlot - freeware and can be uploaded to google earth etc
Thanks all, will gice the g-watch a go tomorrow and go from there.

www.sportsdo.net works well, and although it's not free the demo version works well enough.
...i vote gwatch - very easy to move the track to google earth...
very very nice sports app with so many functions...

Thank you..nice one, but i have bought runGPS(every penny worth) I will try yours also.
pefect tool is Trackr realtime maps, people can follow you realtime, and al tracks can be reviewed again. measures disctance speed ec.
Cheers for the feedback all. I've been mostly using GWatch this week and have found it's simplicity to use whilst running a bonus.
Will definitely be giving the other free ones a go at some point though.
In the mean time can someone tell me how to plot my route on google maps. I've tried searching and had no joy.
Thanks,

I use SmartRunner (http://www.smartrunner.de/pages/LatestSmartRuns.aspx)

Yeah I must say coming from the iPhone the facebook app on win mob is terrible! Ok I know its pretty sad saying that but tbh before having my iPhone I didn't use facebook much but because the facebook app on the iPhone was such a pleasure to use I really got in to it... I'm having to use facebook on opera now.
Dump the FB app, it's utterly useless.
Use http://touch.facebook.com instead. Better, faster, and works awesome in Opera.
Thats what I have been using shame there isnt a facebook app that works though..

Been using the touch.facebook.com for a few days now and you guys are right so much better then the app for WM... but just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with it being slow to update news feeds? Seems to be way behind at times!
ive had that problemw ith the touch site, but the main diffeerence for me between the iPhone app, is the lack of facebook chat, thats a nice feature!
Thanks for the heads-up regarding touch.facebook - didn't know about that! The winmo facebook ap is not very fully featured at all, which is a shame, because it wouldn't be a difficult application to write. That said, browsing being as good as it is on the HD2, i usually just visit the full facebook site. With pinch zooming i find it a breeze to navigate. Touch is probably a more sensible option though i guess. Just replaced my facebook ap quicklink with the facebook touch bookmark

Yeah, at the bottom is a link to "Mobile Site" which is m.facebook.com I think - that has the news feed issue fixed, but isn't as finger-friendly (it's not bad tho).
Neither of them allow you to view or tag photos very well IMO, a decent FB WinMo app would be very welcome.
Hi I am in Canada and i just preordered the xperia play. Just wanted to know what is like the first things i should do when i get it? (im moving from an iphone to this). What are great android apps that i should download and such.
regards,
First android device huh? Well... Custom home screen would be number one, specially coming from iPhone, get something like launcher pro as it's my favorite, very customizable, but it might be a little much at first if you are in culture shock.
Emulators is a big plus and benefit to me if that's your thing. Almost everything on iPhone has it's android alternative except for a couple popular games. Is there a list of your favorite iPhone apps and maybe we can identify the android counterpat
thanks for the quick reply. games arent really my worry as im fine with going around trying new ones. things i wanted to know is if i can disable timescape and other useless addons. does the keyboard work fine or can i install some app to get the swype keyboard or something better? and that app you mentioned sounds cool, will definately try it.
regards

Swype is my favorite keyboard replacement, the stock android one is good, but I heard the one that comes with this might suck a bit maybe? Better keyboard is a skin able keyboard replacement and you can skin it to look/feel like the iPhones.
As far as disabling stuff, you can to a point, but without root access (like jail breaking) you can't touch some of the lower level services. Home replacement is what I think you will want though, get launcher pro or adw launcher. Adw being very themeable. Launcher pro having more polish/settings.
sounds cool. so ill definetly look at swype. how exactly does launder pro work? does it replace everything? (ie timescape)?

It will replace your entire homescreen and everything that's one it - it won't however replace other parts of your system like the Timescape gallery, keyboard or music player. However, all those things are replaceable as well with many alternatives in the market and over here.
Emulators, Emulators, Emulators i say!

Here is score and a few things it did not do so well on. Looks like its good for basic browsing.
Hope this is helpful
I am running on Vache rom with the acer rings wifi patch and 3.01 patch.
This is pretty darn sweet. Thanks for the find MJ-12, and thanks ER for the screenshots. Worth double the price.
Your very welcome I have been using it all day.
Its kinda a taste to what I think android will become. The same Dev has a few other floating. Apps. Like a calculator.
definitely cool enough to drop a buck and a half on. I played with it for a few minutes and then moved on but when the time comes and I need a couple browsers at the ready Ive got an app for that!
If any developers are interested in how he's doing it, he's registering the app as a service and drawing to the notification layer which also allows you to intercept (and act upon) touch events.
Not saying this app is doing it, but beware of apps that request those permissions, they could in theory log every touch on your screen.
Chrome Beta does much better

That is pretty slick. They have a calculator that does the same thing too. True multitasking here we come!
Just tried it, works great, thanks for sharing!
had this since i read about it on...... where was it, phandroid or android central, one of the two.
definetly worth the money. don't use it that much but its really nice when i do.
tip: leave browser defaults unchecked, so your tab prompts you to choose a browser and you can choose overskreen. its like window's "open link in new window"
I'm not sure if i'm in the right section, but i do need help testing on other platforms cause the emulator doesn't support Open ES 2.0. and i only carry a 2.3.3 device. Thanks for the support!

This app works out great on ICS. Nothing to report. Just my opinion: It gets boring after sometime... sry if it hurt you.

The post may be referring to PlayStore compatibility.
Unfortunately I receive an incompatible message on HTC Sensation. (Android 4.0.4).
It looks like a great LWP though. Thanks for the share.

Hi there,
Just some feedback for you.
I've just installed this on SGS2 with no problems at all using a 212 dpi screen resolution. (Hdpi).
Great start! There's a lot of Minecraft fans out there, so the potential is huge.
Cheers.

Its fine on my S2.
My sensation has a screen resolution of 540×960.
It could well be that the Rom at the time may of needed a Market Fix.
Bear with me, I'll try with another Rom that's now installed.
Cheers.
P.s, I've gave a playstore rating also.
OK yes it's fine.
I was running a CM9 nightly at the time, but now it's downloaded just fine with another build.
For reference I've downloaded it twice at different resolutions, 240 ,212 with no issues.
On a side note, check out this game:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindblocks.blocks
It's not just an ordinary Minecraft clone. Highly recommended, and definitely one to watch.
Good luck, I'll keep my eyes on this thread.

thanks for letting me know about the char moves with slightest touch. i looked into that before, i did not add a frame / time counter so next version will be fixed.

Or use any simple ad service and create your own unlock content after clicking an ad. i made a crappy one before but ditched it... got alot of hate mail and comments
I went to install this, but then realized: why does it need the following permissions?
- Coarse (network-based) location
- Fine (GPS) location
- Read phone state and identity
This looks like a fine app, and I would like try it out and help with its development. However, I do not want my privacy invaded. It's a live wallpaper. It shouldn't need these permissions. The only reason why I think you would need these permissions is if the ad-providing plugin required them, in which case I'll skip on this app. Please remove these permissions.
