what are your top ten apps.

[saps]

Same here, it's just there in the rare times when I wanna switch back to TW for helping someone.

Precisely, someone will ask a question about TW or something and sometimes its just easier to bounce back in. Also every once in awhile I bounce back in to make sure I dont have anything running in the background underneath LP in TW. I assume I got rid of most of the bloatware but every once in a while I find there's something else I can get rid of

 

[peterrod16]

Great list and let me add my favortie apps
Angry Birds- great game
Battery Indicator
Doubletwist-Sync Mp3 music and videos to your Fascinate
Flickr Free- upload photos to your Flickr account.
Home Switcher- changes the default bing settings to google
Google Maps- Saved about $130 not buying a Tom-Tom
NHL Game Center
Picsay-adding pop ups to your photos
Skyfire browser- Fantastic. I can view sports content from MLB NFL NHL desktop websites. It takes time but its free
Also i can visit justin tv and view certain live sports,news and other events.(msnbc was a 6 sec delay)
TuneIn Radio- allows me to hear NHL and NFL radio broadcast with a 90 second delay from local teams broadcast(no MLB)
WeatherBug

Gotta say, I need to add dolphin browser to my list... I'm really liking it, and may just have to buy the license to remove ads...

If I used home switcher, could I keep TW but use the search button through LP to default it to Google. Is that a stupid question? Lol

i think you have to actually use lp for the google search.


Another good one (it may have been mentioned here already, if so sorry) is adb wireless. Its good for times when you just can't find your usb cable or if you have a wireless network at work and dont bring it with you.

Yes you need to a 3rd party launch for the google widget: LP, ADW. Cant run it thru TW

I guess my question was could I use two launchers at the same time for different Functions

you can switch back and forth with home switcher or you could choose to not set a default so every time you hit the home key it ll ask which launcher you want, but that would bug me. I'm sure there have to be some people that do it that way.

I would think your battery would run down faster because if you have widgets running on 2 different launchers, theyre still running in the backround regardless.

anyone know an accurate weather app? I've been using BW and both google/accuweather settings were not accurate. It was POURING yesterday where I was, and it said "misty" on accuweather and cloudy on google. SIGHZ...

Weather Bug is probably the most accurate that I have found, but if you don't have it set up just right it can kill your battery pretty quickly.

Just a random comment about sportstap:

I used to run sportstap (the app), but I found it to be draining app. YMMV, but every time I checked settings => applications => running applications => sportstap would be running frequently.

As a substitute, I just bookmarked my SportsTap mobile website, sportstap.mobi and it worked just as effectively, without the background application running.

Just wanted to make a quick comment!

 

[kenyu73]

Banner Pro (its a banner for your screen!)
LauncherPro Plus (home replacement)
Flixster (movies times, etc)
Dropbox (shared files in the cloud)
Kindle (awesome)
Pandora (duh)
Shazam (id music)
Smooth Calendar (awesome widgets)
TuneIn Radio (local radio streaming)
WeatherBug Pro (weather!)

Same here. I booted the app for the same reason

Just adding one here: Android hacker's system tool - Android app on AppBrain
I dont know how I didnt have this one yet.

Coolest part was there is an internal benchmark for the sdcard. Most of us know our cards that ship with the phone are only Class 2 and some people rush out to buy Class 6 thinking its faster.
I was pleased to see write speeds exceeding 10MB/sec and reads in the mid teens as well. By definition a Class 6 card only needs to write at 6MB/sec. So from one point of view my/our sdcard is Class 10 based on the below screenshot. Now admittedly, I have a Class 6 SDCard for my camera and I know the read write speeds of it are higher still than this microsdhc card we have. Nevertheless, the write and read speeds I just benched clearly show we have enough "speed" for 720p video or anything else our cards need / can do. We are a bit short of 1080p recommendation but we dont really have to worry about that

Looks like someone's been in my app drawer. I have all but one of those

 

[jreed2560]

seriously saps, with as many apps as you have, i could go to app brain and pick ten random apps and you'd have atleast 7 of them!
