Hi guys,
Hurray.. Finally I got my HD2 yesterday. After a month discussions between iphone and HD2 finally i went toward HTC and purchased this little miracle.
I am just starting this thread to list down best applications available for this new windows phone.
I saw many forums about iPhone Apps but none of the very useful one for windows phone. Please help to make it a best thread to list down all useful HD2 Apps.
London Tube App
I am looking for following equivalent London Tube app for my HD2. This link shows a very cheap app for iphone. Do you know if there is any such a cheap one for HD2.

Thanks,
Jit
Visual IT do a nice Tube / London-Map application for Windows-Mobile, which will work on the HD2, but it's not very "finger friendly", and it's not as cheap as the iPhone app. (£5.99 to £14.99).
Link: http://www.visualit.co.uk/PocketPC/tube.htm
As an alternative, you can download the free PDF map from TFL, and open that on the HD2. No routing, but saves carrying a paper map.

Someone recommended TubeRun to me. It's on the MarketPlace and a bargain at £1.19!
There's a vid showing it in action here...

It could get very messy, unless you'd be willing to maintain the thread (reading all the new posts and updating the original post with any new information etc..)
It could turn out to be quite a bit of work!

Surely, using Google Maps, with the Transport Layer - is better (and free)?
tube map for HTC HD2
The pdf tube map from the london transport site does not download to the HTC HD 2 :-( anywhere else it can be got from without paying?

London Tube Metro
Honestly the best and free app you can use for navigating London Tube (and many many others) is Metro from nanika dot net Its fast and user friendly.
Try it you may just like it.

go to:
http://m.snaptu.com
and download "snaptu" free. good JAVA program for facebook, twitter, football results, news etcetra.... You need to run JBlend on hd2 and then run "snaptu" when ever you want to use it.
You definitely have to check out Cookies Home Tab for the HD2. Definitely the most useful thing you can load on your phone and it's free.
Regards
Gerhardvr
Best app: haret.exe because it lets you load Android and other Linux OSes. Since Skyfire doesn't work anymore you can still run an Android build with full flash 10.1 support. You can keep your Winmo apps and return to it from Android just by soft-resetting.
Free apps

Mine does that too whenever i restore a rom. The market auto restores all apps but they download to /sdcard/download first. Even if you delete the files from download. Reflash a new rom and let it restore your apps it will re-add the "downloadfile*.apk" to your downloads folder. Weird but nice.
Never thought of it but buying an app, flashing a new rom and letting it restore will put it on sdcard and then you can get a refund and it will still be there.
Wonder why it does this?

What about yours? let us share experience
Reserved for Future
Another reservation for the future
These are the apps that I consider a MUST have for my usage:
1.)Mvideo player - infinitely better than the stock video player and can display subtitles also comes with great folder management
2.) SMS backup and restore - to back up and restore my SMS inbox when I flash to a new ROM
3.)Opera Mobile - Something thats pretty much close to the functionality of a Safari browser, puts the stock andriod browser to shame!
Other apps already mentioned like G+, flashlight app, youtube app and ect!
Titanium Backup is a must... especially for the n00bz who are always begging for non-wipe versions of roms.
Other than that:
Astro File Manager
PowerAmp
RealVNC
Screen Off and Lock (I don't like to use the physical power button)
Tasker
WiFi File Manager
Screen Filter
QuickPic
MoboPlayer
The rest is not that important, but these are mandatory for me.
This belongs in the Themes & Apps section.

I bought a lot classicals from amazon, and using that I don't have to download them.
Hi all,
I'm looking forward to get my Tab 7.7 16Gt 3G/Wi-Fi and I like to get some app recommendations, free or non-free.
It will be mostly used while travelling so apps should work without Internet connection and in flight mode.
So far my list has:
- Kindle for Android
- Astro File Manager
- Sygic GPS or NAVIGON for Android
I want to:
- View photos
- Watch movies
- View PDF documents
- View/edit Word 2010 documents
- Play some games
As noted they have to be usable in flight mode.
Other must have apps ?
TIA

Some MUST HAVE apps for the Samsung 7.7:
The stock Gallery is good enough to view photos. File Expert is also an option.
VPlayer, MX Player, Dice Player can play almost any media files you throw at it including mkv files.
Polaris Office is an inbuild app to view or edit Word documents. You can get 3rd party apps like Quick Office Pro and Office Suite too.
For PDF: EzPDF, Repligo
Games: Angry bird is everyone's favorite, esp angry bird space. Pool 3D pro, Shadowgun, card games like solitaire.
Must have apps if your Phone is rooted:
Titanium Backup pro
Root Explorer
Superuser
Busybox
Ditch the Stock touchwiz launcher and install ADW launcher EX
^ agreed. Touchwiz sux.
You may also want to invest in a quality SD card (if you haven't already). Depending on video quality(Mbps)...expect about 300 min worth of movie storage or 500 min of music @ 13mbps. You can store more than this but you will degrade quality with lower transfer rates.
If you do decide to root your device, you can also save on precious battery life by adding a battery managment app like JuiceDefender.
I would recommend you to perform the following first before everything else:
1. Get root
2. Install GO Launcher HD (Beta) and make it as default
Some would recommend ADW Launcher EX, but I found GO Launcher HD (Not the EX one) more responsive with less memory footprint. You may compare before decide.
