Cool Can anyone help me with this?

Well I am activating this Prevail tomorrow but I have a few things I want to do before I activate this... This is more of a "what is your favorite for this catagory" thing I guess.

1. What app is best for music playing? (Example - PowerAMP , Songbird , ETC)

2. What app is best for auto moving your apps to SD card , I download apps and I always get "Space is low" even after I move a bunch to SD card so anyone got a app to help or tips?

3. What is your favorite web browser of choice?

4. What games do you like that run fine on the Prevail? (Free)

5. What games do you like that rune fine on the prevail? (Paid)

6. What apps do you recommend for the prevail?


Thanks for helping me out so I can find better apps to suit my experience.

-Inuyasha

How did you get firefox running? i tryed to download it the other day and it said my device was not compatible? it says that for a few apps.

As for the O.P.

If you havent tryed it already, CTMod is pretty nice, (You need a custom recovery and you should read up on all of that in the root section.) but, it has an app built in that lets you bypass the wopping 100MB of internal storage, and everything goes straight to your SD card, apps and all. You have to partition your SD card, but of course, theres an app for that... built in.... Your SD card needs to be a class 6 or 10 though, or itll be a little laggy. Its the best choice.

For the other apps. I don't really run to many apps, but the few that I do,

Opra Web browser, the full one - Free

Plume - (twitter, facebook app)

Wifi Analyzer - FREE! (a must have)

And Swat vs Zombies - FREE! best free game IMO

Well I could root but I need a simplified instruction like step by step. The Guy who put root for dummies made it a bit hard to understand considering I have rooted other devices with complicated methods in the past

You should really ask rooted questions in the rooted section.

It's not as hard as it seems. I did it w/ the help of all the great prevail guru's who monitor that thread. I'd never rooted anything b4, stumbled a few times. Had quick and easy to understand responses.

This phone is almost worthless if you want apps and aren't rooted. By the time you dl a few apps you will be out of internal storage. I did very little research on this phone. Did an impulse buy on HSN. I was lucky to find that it was one of the most supported phones on this forum.

As to your original questions. Favorite free game is darts 3D for online multi-play. I am addicted to this. I just wish there was an Iphone app for all my non frugal friends. And I stunt 2 snowboard game.

Browsers I was using dolphin jet pack. After the final CT-mod, I find myself using boat browser more often.

Favorite paid app is tapatalk for browsing this forum.

Favorite free app is geoqpons. Has saved me tons!

A few other freebies I use often are.
Jorte calendar
Swype beta keyboard have tried the others always come back.
Flipboard
Airdroid for wifi file transfer
App2Sd from sam lu
Mx player for video
