I'm new to Android and this forum so hello.

I used to have an iPhone but transitioned to Android for a plethora of reasons that are better discussed in other threads. Anyways, one of my favorite apps on my iPhone was Knocking Live Video and I was a little sad that I wouldn't be able to use it on my HTC Incredible. Or so I thought until I found out that not only does it work on Android but it's cross compatible. It's a live video streaming service designed like a social network. Think Twitter meets a live version of Youtube and you get Knocking Live Video.

I was never a fan of video calling partially because of its general awkwardness. But I find Knocking Live Video and its users garners a different behavior. More of a "look what I'm doing" rather than "look at me."

Anyways, Knocking Live Video, Awesome. Check it out.

Sound Manager -- a handy little app for automatically turning off sound while I'm at work and notification sounds at night when I'm trying sleep.

anycut takes the cake in my book! prevented me from returning the phone (im a shortcut junkie)

I dont get the point of anycut as htc desire has a shortcut option which you can use for contacts ( mail, phone etc )

The point is that it can provide shortcuts to more things than contact actions. As an example, I used it to make a shortcut to the "Testing" activity, to save having to type *#*#4636#*#* into the dialler.

xScope is my new favorite browser. It's a very clean looking browser and is 2x as fast as stock. It really gives you a Google Chrome feel. And it has 3 ways to zoom (double tap, pinch and pin zoom). Try it out!

could not agree more. by far the best browser on smartphones

BUMP is great for a quick way to transfer files, apps, and contacts to others. Accelerometer phone is needed such as the Vibrant or iPhone.

Now that Viingo is free, the keyboard is a sweet alternative and has its own voice module. I was riding my bicycle yesterday, pulled out my Desire and pressed message and pressed the voice text and spoke my text and voila, and the keyboard design and color is just right too.

Also like LauncherPro Plus (paid), resizeable widgets!

 

[Charlie Hustle]

handcent, keeper, and lookout

the most fun app is alchemy. I have up to 80 elements now, but i hit a wall.

Oh and swype. I didnt like it at first, but within 30 minutes i dont think ill be going back to the regular keyboard.

 

[PinkMirrorKirby]

Handcent SMS, SlideIT, LauncherPro is one of my favorite apps!

 

[JimmyCarbone]

swype1.60
gTasks
quadrant standard (to see how my phone runs compared to stock phones :-O)
sms popup
switchpro widget
cashflow free (basic personal finance manager)
pure grid calandar widget (actually, all of the "pure" widgets are awesome and totally worth the buck or 2)

still trying to find any other cool apps i need to check out. i think im gona test a few different browsers out tonight and see if i find one i like better then the stock browser..

Stock camera has setting to do this, pretty good

 

[desman75]

Hi, first post, although I have been reading the site for a while now.

My fave apps on my Desire at the moment are:

LauncherPro - Home Screen Replacement

Dolphin Browser HD - Browser Replacement

Extended Controls - Widget for quick switching of things like WiFi, GPS etc

Multicon - Widget that creates more icon/ shortcuts than normal home screen

QuickDesk - A brilliant app that opens a screen over what you are looking at on the phone without exiting the main screen.

And my fave live wallpaper has to be EarthRot using the Deathstar2



Edit: Oh and actually lets not forget Beautiful Widgets!

does anybody know of a camera app that has a landscape feature where it takes multiple pictures and sticks them together to make a landscape?

The iphone has a great app for this. Also my old samsung phone has a basic version of this, where you take 3 pictures in a row and it merges them together to make a long landscape picture.

hopefully there is one?

Stock camera app can do this, after you start app, click left hard key, press picture mode, panaramic assist comes up.

Stock camera app can do this, after opening camera, click left hard key (menu), press picture modes, you will see panoramic assist

Has anyone else found that SwitchPro Widget slows their homescreen performance and reduces battery life as well? I bought it on Thursday, and even with my extended battery I was barely making 8-9 hours until dead. After uninstalling it my performance is back up again, though I haven't had a chance to test the battery life again in real world usage. It's a shame. I didn't even mind the cost, it was a nice widget set that replaced a few others and the Moto flashlight app for me.

I shot the developer an email, hopefully he'll figure it out. In the meanwhile does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative?

I just bought Album Art Finder because it was the only thing I could find that would let me add my own images to MP3 tags on the phone, I have friends post live MP3s and my Captivate will automagically add the most whacked images to the files, seemingly randomly, so this was a necessity to keep me sane. Anyhow, works well for me but you have to crop the images to a square first or they are all stretched weird.

Album Cover/Art Finder - Android app on AppBrain

Nudnik Repeating reminder - Android app on AppBrain

Since a recent update this is working wonderfully and I am not missing any calendar alarms. I highly recommend this app to improve the calendar functionality.
