Step 1: Go to Settings, Applications, and check download apps from unknown sources. This will enable you to download third party apps not found in Market. You can download all these apps from the Internet Browser directly on your phone.
I'd recommend getting a Dropbox account and downloading Dropbox & Astro File Manager/ES File Explorer (any other file manager should suffice) on your phones.
Here's my referral for Dropbox (You and I get extra space!):
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTkwNzUxMDk
When you download the apk's use dropbox to store the apk files in the cloud. You will use the file manager of your choice to direct Dropbox where the file is located. This helps with having to re-install apps and avoiding having to search for them again. Dropbox is handy for a grip of other uses such as storing your class papers, pictures, presentations, documents, resume, etc.

Rock Player can be found here

Edit: just tried out Rock Player with a .avi I have of Zombieland, plays beautifully. Thanks again for the suggestions.
Palmary Weather. Interfaces nicely with Beautiful Widgets. Best weather app out there! I can't post the link,just google Palmary Soft.
I've searched forums and the market.
Im looking for an app that will allow me to specify an application to launch on startup.
So, boot the phone, home screen arrives, app launches (in this case Browser).
If no app is available id be happy with a script or something as my device is rooted. just need a means of auto-opening.
Suggestions?
Many thanks!
Anyone? =/
Tasker will do it, ull find it ob the market, its not free but on the devs homepage u can download a 7 days trial

Is there an app I can use to password lock the messaging app, and the gallery? I'm lending my phone to a friend for a bit, and I don't want them looking at these things.
What free app can lock those two things, but not stuff like the camera?
Here it is: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sp.protector.free
Application Protection in Market is free and wonderful
In order to avoid making another topic, what app can I use that's free, that'll let me listen to music, but at the same time see the imbedded lyrics?

today I downloaded this app it was free. I uninstalled by accident and now can't find in the market..anyone have it??
Sent from my Adam using Tapatalk.
have you tried looking on market.android.com? It should show you any recent purchases under my account or you can also look under my library too and see if you can find it there too.
this was a free app. how can I see history using the old market app?
ok. I see where you meant. the app is not showing anywhere...sucks
Sent from my Adam using Tapatalk
When I start it ti's giving me an error and does nothing. How can I fix that?
Try googling the app name to see if someone has the apk hosted. Usually works for me when the crap market search engine fails to locate apps I've downloaded and used many times in the past.

Hi guys,
Today morning, I was on the bus with a friend. He wanted to check whether his phone's magnetometer works. So he asked me if I had the 'compass' app. I did have it, but I didn't know how to send it to him. I knew that it was possible, but I didn't have the app that allows you to share files. But luckily he had the app. So he sent the sharing app to me using the sharing app itself so that I could share the app that he wanted. Too many “sharing” words in the last sentence, forgive me.
So I was now able to send the 'compass' app to him easily in seconds.
The 'sharing app' that we used is called “ShareCloud (share apps)”. Certainly not the most creative name but trust me it is very useful. This app lets us send apps via Bluetooth, face to face(p2p, by creating a wi-fi hotspot), WhatsApp, facebook, email and numerous other ways. I will talk about some of them further in the post. Basically all it does is, it copies the installation file and sends it through the specified way. So once the app is received on the other device, it needs to be installed. The file will only get installed is the device supports the app to function. Using this app is a child's play. It has a very easy-to-use interface. You literally have to just select the app and send it. It is as simple as that. This app is available for free to download on the google play store. This app doesn't take up much space and it works almost magically. The best part is, you don't have to root your phone to use this app.
