Ok so im a huge fan of android and especially the Droid X. Im here to help those of you who are newbies to the Droid X or really any Droid. So here are some apps that have really made my Droid X a very great machine:

Non-rooted phones:

Astro file manager- simple app that lets you take a look into your phone and sd card memory and its free.

Beautiful Widgets- a very nice clock widget similar to htc's stock clock but comes with other widget buttons like wifi and bluetooth etc. Costs about $1.50 but i stole my copy.

Cherry Rplayer- a free satellite radio app.

ChompSMS- a free txt message app that lets you totally customize how u send and read txts.

Gtunes- free mp3 search engine where you can search and download music.

HistoryEraser- erases history from your browser and even the market place.

Yahoo! Mail- if you got Yahoo! this free app will let you know if you have a message in your yahoo! mail like Gmail does.

PdaNet- free tethering app to give your computer internet thru your phone. It is free but you can not access private web pages but you can pay a one time fee to unlock all features.

Power Control Plus- instead of the lame stock power control widget that came with the phone you can get this for .99 cents or steal for free and customize your own power control widget.

Ring droid-free app which lets you customize your music into ringtones.

TiKL touch to talk-if your on a strict calling plan get this..its a free walkie talkie type app that will let you talk to friends anywhere for free as long as your friends have it too.

Wheres my droid?-if you miss place your phone and have it on silent this free app will make your droid ring untill you find out where its at.

Lancher pro- there are tw versions of this home replacement app there is the free launcher pro and the paid version..paid version gives you access to your facebook and twitter on a single widget so you can update your status or post something on your wall all at once. It also has other widgets such as: twitter, facebook, calendar, friends and others. Free version does not have any of that.

Now for you out there wanting to root your phone i have only a couple of apps that are really worth the download:

Z4root- free rooting app that gives you the choice to temporary root or permanently root with one click. You can even un-root with one click.

Droidoverclock- .99cents gets you this great overclocking app that can make your droid x go from 1000mhz(1ghz) to 1450mhz(1.45ghz) or even underclock if you wish.

DroidX Bootstrap- $2 app lets you go into recovery mode to install themes and or ROMs.

Well i hope i did some good for you newbies who are looking fir good apps to get the best out your droid x's. Stay Avid!

i would remove your references to that website. SInce you are saying paid apps are free there, it sounds like a warez site. Which are highly frowned upon on this forum. If you want to use a developers app, you should pay the developer. They worked hard to build that app for you, and you shouldn't screw them out of their hard work by downloading it illegally. Would you go to work and say, "No thanks you don't have to pay me, i am doing this all for you for free?"

The Devs have nothing to do with what we pay to get our phones or for what we pay Verizon to use them. Using paid apps for free is the same as stealing...PERIOD! Without the Devs, we would not have some of the great apps that they spent their own time making.

It was a good idea to make a list of apps for first time users, but do not endorse ripping off the Devs here.

I dont call it ripping off..i call it using it to my advantage...would you say bill gates rips you off when he came out with vista then a year later came out with windows 7 for a couple hundred more bucks? I didnt think so i give 100% credit to the developers but i also give thanks to the ones who where nice enough to SHARE what they bought.

It is stealing, plain and simple. End of story. You will make no friends here with that attitude.

You're stepping into the wrong forum with smart ass remarks like that. I wouldn't expect much help from anyone with your attitude.

Lock/Ban please. :D

Last I heard "ass" is allowed on all types of public media (radio, television). Not a problem here.



Hopefully one of the Mods will lock this thread before it gets out of hand.

This is a family type forum and your using the A double S word..your not nice. They should ban you at least my mouth is clean

The FCC doesn't have a problem with the word ass, especially when used in the context I am referring.

However, every single layer of the judicial system from local, state to federal sees theft as a crime.

(I second the motion that this thread be locked.)

I know you think you're all cool because you make flippant comments and have "hustlaz" in your name, like that's not the hallmark of ignorance right there, but it's not "using an advantage" when you steal.

The vast majority of these app developers are not getting rich. The small number that are, get rich because they are producing high quality applications and deserve to get paid for their efforts.

Stealing an app that costs less than two dollars is nothing short of petty.

So the FCC wont let me be; let me be me so let me see; they tried to lock me down here on this thing; but it feels so empty without me!
