The unofficial wich apps are working on Tattoo!

[Jacob_K]

First of all, thanks a lot for the list! I would have been lost without.

Some of you have been asking for a QR scanner. Maybe ScanLife will do the trick for you. I found this article:

ScanLife 2D bar code reader comes to Android | Crave - CNET

...and used my mobile browser to go to: Scanlife

There is no version for Tattoo but you can get a version for Hero, Magic and Dream. I picked Hero and it looks like it's working (just a quick test).


On the other hand: Can someone help me with a Google maps version where you can use the layer function and "My maps"?

I have been using these functions for some time on my old HTC Touch Diamond and must admid that I was deeply surprised that Tattoo came without them...very strange...

I will update the list later today.

Layar is also working just fine on my Tattoo!

You can find it here: layar / Download the APK

Or just simply click here!

 

[Appventive]

Motion & Sound Alarm (Appventive) is now available for Tattoo.

Cheers,
Steve

There's another app that has just been updated to work on Tattoo also, Magnatune, listen to music from the Magnatune store, find it in the android market

 

[JR12]

Has anyone tried M-Converter? It worked fine on the G1 but not on the Tattoo. It installs and everything but does not compute values. Could someone try it out an let me know if it works?

Hello,


I have the HTC Tattoo on Orange UK and cannot find any of the popular unofficial applications mentioned such as Facebook, Ebuddy, Myspace to mention but a few, on either The Market place or Slideme.org. Also getjar.com does not list the Tattoo as a Phone :-(

Any further advice on how or where to get these?

Cheers

 

[joemoso]

where can I get the office suite?

 

[Terry1100]

Documents to Go (Dataviz) can be found in the Market - free viewer for office files - pay for it to get edit ability.

 

[joemoso]

can't seem to download files from the market app. FYI: this phone came with slideme and I had to download market.apk and install it. when I click on download it says that there's an error and i have to restart market app. then it gets stuck in downloading.

I got Navit to work ok on my tattoo. The only issue I had was that the TTS system used was not available in the Market. Install the Extended TTS system instead and it works.

I got this app from the Navit Wiki at Navit's Wiki.

Please notice that I have given information on where to obtain this app peeps. Many of the above mentioned working un-offical apps I cannot find anywhere, and what I can find just tries to look them up in the Market - from where they are missing.. As mentioned by royiswise. I too am on orange UK and I don't get what they've done to my phone, or why they've even done it as it seems to me they've broke it!

yeah I tried it too - it says compatible with android 2.0 only. Not sure if the Tattoo does get an upgrade wether the hardware will support it or not? It maybe the case that only devices that ship with 2.0 will be compatible.

Oh yeah and nobody knows wether the tattoo will actually get a 2.0 update!

 

[royiswise]

Well when I asked HTC about the upgrade they skirted around subject saying Devices and Regions had not been confirmed. They would only Confirm they are working in Dev with HTC sense to work with 2.0

 

[WilfMoralee]

Found a couple of useful/useless (depending on what you want).

If you go to Application management under settings, find HTC Sense you can deselect the defaults with it, then next time you press the home button it asks what you want to do, mark the box underneath and select Home. This will then show the default Android home screen everytime home is selected. I prefer this as more of the background is seen, and it is marginally quicker. The downside is you do not get use of HTC widgets such as the full screen music and calendar widgets (never use them anyway, you still can use Android widgets), and you get 3 screens instead of seven, which is much preferred for me. If you don't like go back into app management, find home and delete the defaults, then next time home is pressed select the HTC Sense option. Hope this helps someone.

The over thing is Madcow solutions have managed to get Google Maps working with Navigator in the UK, with full 3D directions and voice navigation. I have this working o my phone and it is incredible (THANK YOU MADCOW!!).

This is the link from the Madcow site (www.madcowsolutions.com) to download the necessary file Maps3.2.1-patched-no-root.apk ... at uploaded.to - Free File Hosting, Free Image Hosting, Free Music Hosting, Free Video Hosting, ...

All you do is download it, transfer to device then using a file manager app find it and install it. This will lead to having two Google Maps on your device, once you find the right one just drop that onto your home page (it was the second one for me). If any programs ask which action you wish to take you select the files ending with m4ps not maps.

Yet again I hope this helps somebody.

Also, is it possible to get a very brief description of what each of the above programs actually do so we have some idea if we need/want them in the first place?

 

[TwIsT]

Thank you All for these Great Tips I have been going potty with my Tattoo and installed loads of apps but cannot get hold of the one that I want which is ebuddy I went to the GetJar website but cannot find a way of downloading it as the Tattoo is not listed. Any tips?

 

[royiswise]

Twist,


I chose the HTC Hero as the phone and downloaded it, installed fine on my Tattoo

 

[TwIsT]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. I tried with the Hero as my phone and got ebudy lite installed then tried again with the Dream and got hold of the Full client which installs and works fine. Thanks again.
