Android ApplicationsAll the information you could ever want about Android Applications. Learn about apps and get help with them... all here! New apps can be found and announced in the Applications Announcements forum linked below.
Zedge - i'm glad they've created an app instead of having to do everything through their website! Loads of free ringtones and wallpapers that you can apply from directly within the app.
Newsroom - I was previously using FeedR as my RSS reader but this is so much better. The only thing i miss is being able to share articles.
Device(s): Sprint Evo 3D
Sprint Hero...for now Wi-Fi only
Carrier: Not Provided
Thanks: 0
Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post
Zedge: I like the fact I can acess the ringtones I've download with my other options like Handcent and the stock alarm feature on my hero. It makes it so much easier to have specific ringtones set when I recieve a text for certain people and calls and all that.
I have a Cliq and these are my favorite apps by FAR:
Anycut ( I love love love this app)
advance task manager (pd version).
Bubble wrap game (this is addicting)
handcent sms (this should of already been installed)
google skymap (awesome!!)
Ringdroid
% calculator (I have an 11 yr old who finds this VERY useful when doing homework)
trapster (I live in the suburbs of Chicago and there are TONS of red light camers)
This is just to name my FAVORITES. I'm still trying to find an app to remind me when my bills are due (ONLY bills and thats it) w/0 having to put them in my calendar.
a QR code is also known as a 2D bar code. The app called Barcode Scanner in the market will read these codes and tell you what data is stored in it (usually a string of text). Download Barcode Scanner and read the one that I have below my screen name.
Did you ever find out if it is okay to charge your phone overnight without decreasing the life span of the battery? or would it be best to charge the phone when it os low say 3-5% of battery life?
Astrid: good task manager
Google Sky Map: cool astronomy app
Maps: duh
Shop Savy: saved me some dough over the holidays
Ultrachron: great stopwatch/timer use for cooking and napping
Listen: good podcast app
Trimble Outdoors: good hiking GPS app

Mike, it should not make a difference with modern lithium ion batteries. Back when phones used older technology batteries it was better (sometimes) to drain them down all the way.
Nowadays, you can pretty much charge it whenever you want!

you can charge the Lithium Ion or Lithium polymer battery in your cell phone whenever you like.... its actually "preferred" to not discharge all the way down unless you need to... but for the longevity of the battery, they actually prefer to be topped off or even left on the charger overnight.
Its been many years now since cell phones "big handheld with a cord" that used the old NiCad batteries that developed nasty memories without a full discharge... that is not an issue with your battery.
Keep it on the charger whenever you don't need it on your person and/or overnight.

Tunes Remote- Lets you control your iTunes library remotely from anywhere within the range of your wifi network.
VLC Remote- Lets you control VLC player from anywhere within the wifi network.
Twidroid- Easily the easiest to use, nicest lookely, and issue free twitter client
Advanced App Manager- comes with a 1x1 widget that kills all apps and i love that.
Spare parts- lets me see which apps are taking up most battery use and cpu use. and let me speed up my droid alot by turning off all transition animations and window animations.
Last.fm- my personal favorite personalized radio website. was using it long before having an android phone.
Video Player- Lets me play video files on my phone, so i can watch my favorite episodes of The Office whenever i want!
Gameboid- GBA emulator. playing pokemon games all day haha
PdaNet- let me tether EASILY which is pretty helpful

Everyone's raving about Anycut, but can you give some examples of what you use it for? By default you can already add shortcuts for contacts, direct dial, navigation, settings, etc, so what do you use Anycut for?
Just tried Mobile Security by Lookout. Love this app. It's beta, so still in test stages, but what a great thing to be a part of. Does everything it professes to do. Try it for yourself.

I'm pretty sure it does. I know BetterCut does. BetterCut is the pay version of AnyCut. Similar features with just a few more options. Swype only works on the Droid and Nexus One I think because of the type of screen it is (WVGA). Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Bonsai blast was removed from the market i think... but i am on the N1, which it may not be supported . I had it in the MT3g.
as for my fav app(s) I would have to say :
Evernote, great app for keeping track of lists, links and life
dolphin browser.... multi touch browser
weather channel...cool weather widgets
locale (BETA)... settings minder
pdanet.... tether
quickdroid.... search phone for anything
scoreboard.... scores for ( ALL SPORTS )
shopsavy... cool scanner
advance task killer.... keep apps in check
google voice... its google voice.....
and a tons of games, coloroid, bubble burst, iothello, trap, shot, snale, spades, word up.... i could go on...
Did i mention i love the NEXUS ONE... ( not a thread hijack )
I was wondering does anyone know of any apps that are for quotes.. I mean I found some quotes from like benjamin franklin.. but I was looking for like more girly love quotes that you can find on myspace and stuff... ?
Two of my latest faves are: Newsroom - I was previously using FeedR as my RSS reader but this is so much better. The only thing i miss is being able to share articles.
You can share articles from newsroom, when you swipe up and access the full article share will be in the menu options
Swype Keyboard Newsroom- for news feeds, has a trial More Icons Widget-allows for more on-screen access to apps but takes up less space so you can enjoy your wallpapers. $1.99 or try the more icons free version. I found it to be more than worth the $1.99 Nintaii- Addictive puzzler game, lite version available, full version only $1.99 Apps Organizer- Free, label apps and create shortcuts with custom icons(download icon packs free from Market). Much better than folders imo Screens- For free wallpapers. I like their selection and UI
Life Stories - I was a big fan of the FMyLife app, but Life Stories has FMyLife, FMySexLife, Gives Me Hope, Hate Post, It Made My Day, I Had a Win, My Life is Average, Makes Me Think, My Life is Crap, and Today I LOL'd. Great way to entertain me while I'm bored.
Does anyone know where I can get the life stories? I've searched but no luck.
c[you don't have a qr code under your screen name]ough.

You can create your own shortcuts (though it takes some programming). You can also quickly create shortcuts for actions like 'Battery level' I'm not sure you can add that short cut (or short cuts like that) with the built-in utility.
Swype... is totally awesome, has now ruined me for life
Snesoid... Killer Instinct!!
Bluetooth File Transfer... Pass along pix or other files
Wi-Fi analyzer... see what wifi connections are on what channels
I like AnyCut when I had the MT3g but with Nexus it needs an update and does not recognize my contacts and keeps telling to import them..., but the shortcut app that comes with phone rocks...
Boxee Remote - Let's you use your android phone to control the Boxee interface. Works very well. Much better than my crappy IR remote that doesn't want to work half the time.
RemoteDroid - My boxee box has Xubuntu installed on it, so if boxee crashes or I just want to quit boxee and use the computer to look something up real fast this allows me to do it without having to find and connect a keyboard and mouse.
Other favorites...
Aldiko - book reader
SportsTap
Shopsavvy -barcode scanning app
Tunewiki - music player

. I had it in the MT3g.
