chismay

MATE YOU GOT CONFUSED

look do you need to root? for a specific reason? like to remove a certain aspect of the phone? no? then dont ok seriously i get annoyed with people who buy a device...it work perfect and then they hear sum "crap" about rooting blah blah blah = better......it doesnt,

if your phone is working leave it alone.
u say your new..... dont mess with things if you have no reason,. u could f%ck your phone.....for no reason,

if you root it you might not get the official gingerbread update from samsung,

then you will be stuck with the beta from samfirmware ......gprs probs, camera probs, battery probs, memory probs,

there is no reason right now,.....custom roms? theres isnt any worth a feck right now,



srry to be blunt but im trying to be kind by being harsh,,,,,

jango radio - for cool internet radio with up-to-date tunes uk-usa

speedx - cool, 3d game "everyone" has

skyfire-internet-browser watch full episodes and movies in "flash" using this browser.

search market for "free music download" this app lets you download pretty-much any song/music and the select an area of the song to use as a ringtone.

applanet- download the applanet-app to download the paid versions of apps from normal market but you dont pay! yay!

battery widget solo- to show in number percentage how much battery you have left.

winds of steel - war-fighter-plane game with amazing graphics that works even on LOW end devices (lower proccessor power)

mario-simlulator...lmao find it and download it,,,,,jump with phone in hand and sound like mario hitting ? box...then coin noises. lmao ill send it ot you if you want it soo fecking funny,

Wow Chismay, u've got a serious amount of apps on your Ace!!
How many of those are on the phone & how many on the SD card?
Does the Ace still perform well, speed/transitions etc..? My few apps look a bit sad now! Cheers. GrahamF. London.

chismay

they are all on the sd i currently have about 40mb spare insternal memory,. you need to use the adb command to send EVERYTHING to sd

also i have about 10 more installed right now also but i didnt bother putting them all.

DBZ123

Hi guys... i cant find Applanet in the market :/ Anyone have any idea?

chismay

if you lag try using the program monitor widget go to ram and clear memory, wait a few minutes for the main launcher and everything to reset you will notice you have a fair amount more ram to use.

=smoother

chismay

on reflect dont use applanet.

i didnt and its bullshit anyway most of the apps are very outdated and are simply the same trials allready available on android market,.

plus the applanet sever has not been working for like 2 weeks now, also certain apps have been removed from the a-market because they have been confirmed to have the known android malware on them.

chismay

erm just so you guys know i cant help you out with anything to do with the games anymore
sorry but thats the rules here.

dragoon881

hi again i'm facing an issue with the phone.
when playing high graphics games or opening many apps the phone stops responding,vibrates twice and then reboots.
i suspect this is due to the low ram


all i want to say is that is there any app that can close the apps rather than the phone shutting itself


please reply thnx in advance

vielcruz

Hi dragoon881,

Ok first of, this is my first post, joined only a couple of mins ago, so i don't know much of the rules in saying stuff yet.

Anyway, got my Ace around 3 weeks ago and i decided to root it and get 2.3.4, works fine so far.

Re: your shut down problem. Your memory hunch could be a reason, but i think it could also be that the Ace has a temperature sensor that shuts the phone down when the unit gets too hot (i.e. due to games which use up battery and max out the CPU)

You can get advanced task killer in the market. it closes running background apps to free up memory.

Re: your original query, here are my apps:
ThinkFree Office (stock)
SuperRuler and Unit Converter
LED Flashlight
GreenPower (manages your wifi, 3G to save batt)
Dropbox
Software data Cable (allows PC file transfer over wifi - no USB cables needed)
Bump (mobile device-to-mobile device transfer, works for android>iphone transfer)
ColorNote (post-it type app)
FX camera (camera with lots of effects)
Seesmic (merges twitter and FB)
Yahoo messenger
Viber (free calls and texts via wifi or 3G)
Eljay (livejournal posting app)

for games.. well i saw chismay's post, i don't know if i should be posting them here.

Hope that helped you.

Hi Chismay, how's the Gingerbread going now?? Anyway, my Ace crashed & burned last night! I've managed to get all the app's back, but I can't find "Free Music Download" in the Android Market anymore, do you know if it has been pulled? (it has been pulled from i-phone app market apparently). I loved this app. Is there a way to download it directly from the developer or something? Any ideas? Thanx. GrahamF. London
