in case you guys want the full bing.apk with search & maps here you go. i like it much better than google, i even uninstalled google maps. this apk is from the evo but it works great on the hero.
Hey Fixxxer,
Just curious, what do you like better? I have not had a chance to play with Bing at all but is there a navigation program incoorperated or one in the works
PS I love your avitar!
Thanks

it looks like he answered that...
but as for navigation, there's no turn-by-turn voice nav right now...

I didn't see it that way either... It all makes sense now though.
The navigation leaves a little to be desired, but being spoiled by GM's turn-by-turn voice nav and Sprint's Nav, that's probably a biased opinion...
That said, Bing's Image Search > Google's. Love the accessibility right from the main menu.
All in all, a decent alternative to Google right now..

Stand by you, my friend!
PTL, my brother or sister. Maybe someone will take a look at that launcher and report in.
I used it for a little. Its still in its alpha phase, but it is great! Sure, you cannot remove any icons that are added, but the beginning transitions that are there are very cool. I recommend it to anyone that likes the curreny iphone looks.

A friend of mine has an iPhone and I have to admit, it's pretty slick. I think I'll stick with my 8125 for the time being though. Mainly because of price, but also because I like being able to change roms on my phone whenever I want.
Personally, I like the iphone look. Have you tried slide2unlock, icontacts, and the iphone dialer?

Yeah, I used my friends iPhone for about an hour...it was pretty awesome. I like what some chefs have done with touchflo, but it seems a little buggy on my 8125, but have seen it run really well on others.
Yeah, I like touchflo too. I've been using the NBD touch ROMS. They seem to run faster than installing each touch component from cabs

I was using NBD 8.0 but had a problem with some "numbers" so I switched to the official Cingular ROM in preparation for something else. It seems a good time to test this launcher, so I'm downloading now and will test it out tomorrow.
Yeah, I'm on a different ROM now too. Good luck with that launcher and let us know how it is.

I've the iPhone dialer and slide2unlock myself... I like both of them.. they are very nice.
but, now I just use the iphone dialer... slide2unlock use too much RAM.. I mean it releases it but just locking it with device lock works for me.
The iphone dialer is great.. for some reason I feel like my number dialing is faster than anything I've used.
Icontact.. i think I tried it for like a min..but can't remember.. but if you want to try.. try Contact manager.. it's like icontact but it's little diff flavor to it.
I like it but.. I don't use it because it doesn't have search feature.. like the normal contact.. I got over 200 contacts and for me to just starting to type few letter at top really helps me find the contact I need.

It's only in the new (1.6 and up) market, but the above posted APK works in every version.
Yeah sorry, I didn't mean it doesn't work, I just meant in the ROM im using, the camera doesn't work, which in turn would make the picture searching, well.... useless lol
Just tried it out on fresh's rom, works great! way better than shopsavvy imo
thanks!
its compatible with 1.5?
i downloaded it straight from the market place
and im running gumbo 1.5c
Sweet! Does Google Goggles by chance run on 1.5? If so can someone upload the apk?
Just to let everyone know, Google Shopper is, in fact, available in the 1.5 market. Guess we all didn't look hard enough, or Google flipped a switch at some point in the last day or so. At least I'm seeing it on Gumbo's 1.5c naturale.

Ditto. Works for me on Gumbo 1.5c, but I think I prefer Shopsavvy to this because of the local results it offers along side the online ones.
Not showing up in Market on TTG ROM. Tried searching "shopper" and "Google Shopper".
Works on Fresh...tks
It works great on my phone. I will have to compare to shop savy and decide further tho.
Running Gumbo 1.5c and I do not see google shopper in the market.
Thanks, works well... but its in american, anyway to get it into UK prices....?
Why not just get straight from market? Any difference between yours and markets?
Hello,
have you seen BlindType?
http://www.blindtype.com/
*UPDATE*
Guess what! Google bought BlindType (german)
This could end up as an Android only Keyboard now as it was originally planned for Android and iPhone
That is pretty sick!
I am going to go ahead and say that it uses magic to do it. I couldn't imagine the work gone into that prediction algorithm. Wow.
Before anyone else says it ... "How's the battery life?" Lol.
Not like I care though about the battery life. This should be pretty interesting when it comes out.
I also find it really awesome
I hope it's getting released with german.. not english only :|
I think I know how this works, I think it uses your key presses as points in a path, similar to how swype uses direction changes, looks very clever!

And it scales and rotates until it finds the best match, you can type as if the keyboard is diagonal and half the size. That's what I think is the crazy part, and the fact it can do it so fast means their recognition algorithms are very impressive.
this is sick!! i cant wait for it to come out.
Not gonna lie.
That made my day.
I can't wait until it comes out.
Holly Crap! Thats crazy!
Similar to swype, but you type instead of swyping. But the rotation and scaling is pretty sick
Hmmm I see what he did there.......AWESOME

Hey all,
Want a HONEYCOMB style lockscreen?
Try this one. It looks really close, if not the same.
Works for 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3.3
GSM & CDMA
*Known bugs
Some user experience a "double lockscreen" this is being worked on. This bug is on all versions paid or free. Reboots sometimes works, or stop the lockscreen and start it again from in app settings.
works landscape and portrait.
SRRY, forgot to ad the thanks, until reminded. Thanks, SunPengfei
I have found that this version works best in our tabs.
Feel free to update through market, but, again,I found this earlier version works best.
Enjoy.
Or get the paid version on the market, although I dont see any difference. (especially if your rom has an adblocker or adfree)
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED
owh dude , i'm confuse right now . you should add the app with the other thread , and name it some goodies for the buddies .. i'll try it and give u feedback
OP, is this something you've put together yourself? or somebody elses work you're posting?
If its the latter then make sure to give the appropriate credit where its due.
Cheers.

ps, is your nin theme available for htc desire?
WOW! This was what i was looking for (I just really wanted an auto rotating lockscreen) !
I've found a few things:
The status bar is still openable
There isn't an option to make the wallpaper see-through. Meaning we cannot see the live wallpaper beneath it.
The lock circle gets cut off when moved to extreme points.
Not deal breakers and considering its actually pretty good as is, I can live with those things maybe there will be fixes and additional features!
Thanks!

So I've actually had this in the market for a few months now but never actually posted here. This was one of the first apps I created and it just sort of grew and got an assortment of features. So if anyone wants to give it a go here is the market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.flufflydelusions.app.extensive_notes&feature=search_result
If anyone finds this app too complex, do try my other app I've developed to address this issue. It has nearly all the same features though very easy to use. Here is the xda link:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/classic-notes-lite-for-android/
I like this; "So many features, it's bordering on insanity."
This was the first app to make the App of the Week feature on my site. It's still one of my favorite apps I've ever used. Definitely the best notepad I've ever seen!

Was the first app I bought for my new Galaxy SII. Crazy amount of features.
+1 for sync! PLEEEEEEASE!!!!
Edit: Nevermind.
Love this POWERFUL app. But love to have the following changes in the upcoming version.
1. Memorize the settings selection in Extra. E.g. "from" and "to" language for Google Translate, Currency converter.
2. Sorted list for Currency. (e.g. ANG > BHD > VEF ...etc). It's quite hard to find the currency I am looking for the current implementation.
Just downloaded it, very nice app, seems to have LOADS of functionality.
Thank you very much
Glad you guys like it. Yes still lots of work to do with it
Just downloaded this. looks awesome, will be testing it today
