[Request] - Stock 3D Gallery and DeskClock

So I will try to organize this thread so most important stuff (request) is on top, and my rant/explanation of why I want this done will follow. Warning: I know I tend to use a lot of run-on sentences...I'm just long winded
Attached are two stock (I presume) .apk's that I pulled out of Cyanogen's ROM that I have installed on my stock 2.1 ROM. I prefer these two apps vs. the HTC versions, but each have one small issue.
1) - DeskClock.apk will FC if you hit the Music shortcut. I am assuming that this is something simple, like it's trying to call up the wrong program? Can this be written to launch the HTC Music App, hopefully eliminating the FC?
2) - Gallery3D will FC if you try to launch the camera from within the app. I am once again assuming (more hoping, really) that it's trying to launch a camera app that doesn't exist in the stock ROM. Can this be written to launch the HTC Camera app, hopefully eliminating the FC?
I would try myself, but after downloading and installing Eclipse, JRE and the Android plug-in, I still feel like this is over my head at this point, as all I have is very limited Visual Basic experience. Would someone mind doing me a favor and updating those apps are reposting them in this thread so that myself and other like me can use those on our stock 2.1 ROMs? It would be much appreciated
Now for the rant:
I see a lot of people with differing opinions on HTC's Sense. Personally, this is my first Android phone, and I have found that I actually like SOME of the Sense apps. I dont really have a problem with the launcher (though I have replaeced it with ADW.Launcher), and I feel that apps such as People, Camera, and Phone are somewhat superior to what I presume are the stock Contacts, Camera and Phone apps, respectively. And then I wonder why HTC created some of the other apps they did that seem somewhat....lacking.
1) The "Photos" app is very boring and plain. I mean, I appreciate the Flickr and Facebook integration (which would be useful IF I used them), but why could they not have just added this functionality to the already awesome 3D Gallery? I would rather use the stock Gallery app, and even though the file I attached (see:Gallery3D.apk) doesn't have a functioning camera botton, I still prefer it to the Photo app. Plus, it pulls in my Picasa photo albums
2) The DeskClock app HTC included on the incredible is fine for the most part, but I don't like the small clock font and the fact that it takes FOREVER to launch, whereas the stock DeskClock.apk is instant to load, has a much larger font, and does other things I like better; like keeping my wallpaper visible, and is softer to the eye. Once again, I appreciate the added features of HTC's clock (Worldclock, Stopwatch, Timer), but I don't use them enough to make me like this program more than the stock one.
So that is why I am asking for those to be edited so they'll run on my stock ROM. At least until we start seeing some FroYo love
Also, if anybody knows, why did HTC replace the Messages app with one that exchanges the ability to set conversation limits (e.g. 200 messages, then auto delete) with one that uses Facebook for contact icons? I still use the HTC Messages app cause I like the pictures transferring over from Facebook (or the People app, which is updated by Facebook, and hence why the People app I like BETTER than stock), but why leave out any message bulk control? Anything over two or three hundred and my phone really starts taking a long time to open the conversation...

Alternately, once CyanogenMod's ROM becomes more stable, I would love to switch to it if I could bring some of the Sense apps along. Those would be:
1) People - with fully functioning updates and photo shortcuts to Facebook and Flickr
2) Camera - I like the added features...and the fact that it already supports 8MP, whereas (as of CM5.0.8 Test1, anyway), the camera app would only do 3MP
3) Phone - again, with correctly synchronizing contact pictures and speed dial, just like in our stock ROM.
I haven't actually tried pulling these out of the stock ROM and installing them in CM5, but I'm assuming I'd run into issues with the Facebook/Flickr sync...

attached is a gallery apk that doesn't have the camera issue. and also I attached the stock music apk that is need for deskclock.

Anything from Sense requires the htc framework which you are not going to find in any Cyanogen or vanilla ROM and there is no work around.
The vanilla DeskClock apk (with working music button) and 3D Gallery (with working camera button) already exist in other threads in this forum. Just search for them. You will also find both of those apps in any plain vanilla or cyanogen rom that is made.
As for the phone and contacts, the vanilla ones are much better imo than sense. You will not miss the lag.

Thanks jitajt! Those fixed my problems. Im getting to the point where I'm fairly satisfied with everything about the phone. Just got Hydra's OCUV+N kernel installed and it's working great.

I have the opposite request of this thread actually; I need the HTC DeskClock files from a stock 2.1 sense ROM. Would anyone be able to post it please? Thank you in advance!
I miss having the timer and stop watch functionality that comes with it. My laundry always winds up sitting in the washer and dryer far too long without me setting a timer

Hello. I did a search for AOSP DeskClock and this is the only promising thread I found. I'm using an HTC CDMA Hero. Does anyone know if this is or isn't safe for me to use?
Also, do I just push to /system/app?

I don't know about you guys.. but the sense gallery loads up MUCH FASTER than this gallery 3D. UNINSTALLED

I have both apps in my rom and are runing fine

Camera FC
Hey Thanks jitajt!
I've been trying to get this to work on my samsung spica for a few days now.
But now the camera button (upper right) is giving me an FC error. It's because the camer app I have is SamsungCamera.apk NOT the stock camera app.
Could you provide the stock camera.apk for android 2.1?
Thanks.

[Tips] SPB Shell 3D - Theme

I wanted to start a separate thread for people using SPB Shell 3d to discuss tips, hidden features, requests, post pix, etc.
Please keep comments about the price of the app out of this thread!
====================
I'm currently running imilka's Gingerbread Sense v0.1 on my HTC HD2. On this build Shell 3D *flies* - much faster then Launcher Pro, ADW, and Zeam. It's not even close. I tried to go back my my Desire HD build, and I found it a bit slow on that build (and slowed the overall phone as well).
On my current build, battery use is excellent. With a low amount of use today, I've gone through 40% of my battery in 10 hours (60% left). This is early, but seems better then other shells, or at the least not worse.
It is running 36-40 megs memory while running on my phone.

Here's the combined note of requests I sent to them:
First, before I send the list, it's MOST important to keep the overall speed and lack of lag in Shell 3D. If any feature on the list causes a slow-down, I'd rather keep the speed.
Likewise, while a slightly larger memory footprint is do-able, I wouldn't want it to get much bigger (running memory).
I'm sure many, if not all of these things are not new to you, but here's the list of things I'd like to see in future versions. I emailed a couple tmes yesterday, but wanted to send a complied list:
- In the full Calendar page, I would love to see scroling to get to more events.
- Speaker of scrolling, support for scrolling widgets would be a major plus, but I wonder if this feature causes lags & slowdowns in other launchers.
- Missing Matching Widgets. I love the look of the 'glassy rectangle' in the Weather, Calendar, Favorites. I don't like how the SMS widget has it's own look (at least put the glasssy look in it). On the widgets to add, please add rss (a simple one, nogoogle sync needed), battery (matching glassy theme), twitter, facebook)
- Change Application Draw button (the one in the draw in the bottom right. I'd rather change that to my own app)
- Option to remove buttons from dock (perhaps have no buttons but the carousel button)
- A number of people don't like the Autosort. They want blank space at the top & to be able to put an icon on the bottom.
- Change Default apps (so when I click Calendar, it runs Pocket Informant)
- Gallery widget not working? I get 4 buttons. The far left one is a non-picture folder on my sd-card. The far right is the gallery app. The middle 2 are..??
- Can each screen have it's own background color (like in the carousel previews)?
- Option for no Text Labels for App Favorite Folders
(will probably be more in the future
Things I Think are Not Needed:
- Resize Widgets. I've seen a few requests, but I don't see too much need for this. Would be nice, but not urgent I think.
- Change Rows/Columns. Same as Resize. I think this would cause your own Widgets major problems, so probably can't do this one at all.
- Live Wallpaper. Likewise, doesn't work well with Carousels.
- Transition Effects. We already have the Carousel. I don't think more are needed.
One more minor request to add to the list.
I currently have the small 4x1 (or is it 1x4?) Weather Widget on my screen. I find the display with the current weather + next 4 days kind of squished, so I'm currently using the one with the bar graph on the left. The graph is cute, but functionally useless.
Possible to make a Weather widget like it, but replace the bar graph with a battery meter to match the weather look?
Also - when I click on the Weather, perhaps shift over to the full pane weather panel?
Likewise, when I click on the small 4x1 Calendar, when I click it, maybe go to the full Calendar page (or at least an app of my choice).
Speed is still amazing on my Gingerbread/Sense rom on my HTC HD2. Going to test going back to a more stable Desire HD build & see how fast it is.

Don't know if anybody else has this problem but for me it is a very bothersome BUG. It will allow me to android widgets on any panel. However, when I reboot the phone, the android widgets disappear every time. I am running it on my rooted Evo with CM7 installed.

* A search funktion in the app drawer would be great.
* Multiselect for adding apps into a folder.
* At the weather forcast the CPU goes up to max...great if that could be reduced.
* Select multiple cities for the weather (panel and widget)

i cant even run the app lol i have a sprint hero running cm7 rc4. and its suppose to run on all 2.1 and up devices. they even say its for the hero. its really bugging me cause i've been wanting this since they announced it.

Uh, SPB says for Hero on 2.1...did they say CM7? Maybe you need to go to stock...try it then complain please.

I'm using an Inspire and it runs fine. It does take literally 10 minutes to boot and "warm up", but its lighting fast after that. Been using it since the early test builds.

yeah i tried to open it but i just get a black scree. and then about 40 seconds later it just exits out to the previous screen i was on.

Assuming you mean the one with the picture of the person & a little button for dial and a button for sms - yes:
Add SPB Widget -> Favorite Contact (bottom right). Click the little + to add someone to the Contacts. Click the square on the far right to open up the folder. From this window you can drag your contact to the home screen. Click the green arrow on the contact to change the look to the one I mentioned (5 clicks).

waiting for the mods will be tough but I am trying my best to modify the look.

wrong thread

I have SPB shell 3D running on my Milestone. I am using the stock 2.1 rom. I couldn't get it to load on any of the 2.2 roms, but I didn't spend too much time investigating why. I have my Milestone overclocked to 900MHz with milestone overclock and have JIT enabled via openrecovery.
It runs quite well once it loads up. I used the "bulletproof launcher" script in this thread to keep the launcher from being closed, so far I have only had one or two crashes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
The gallery widget seems broken on my phone as well. The leftmost button loads a few random pictures, but the middle two buttons don't respond and the gallery launcher button does nothing, and then will put the phone into widget change/resize mode.
I find I didn't need any of my other widgets, but would probably use a good twitter/facebook aggregator. I haven't loaded pure messenger into it, but other android widgets appeared to work.
In 20 hours of uptime it has only used 5% of the battery, less than the phone being on standby, so I find it on par with Launcher Pro for battery use.

Hello, I install SPB shell 3D on my Motorola Defy and averything are running well, it's really the best interface. The only thing I would like to do is to display my own pictures in place of the one from Flickr, is someone find how to do that ?

I don't have a favorite contacts choice. The bottom right option is messaging for me. Do you have the market version installed or a beta?

Running on a 2.3 rom on htc desire and it works ok. Sometimes I have to reinstall app to get it to load. Contact widget doesn't show photos properly.

Ah ok I figured it out. This is really strange, you have to delete the default favorite contacts folder off the screen first. Then the option to add it as a widget appears. Really odd.

What photo Gallery do you use?

Since 3D Gallery drains the battery, What do you use?
I've found Gallery+, any experiences on this version?
https://market.android.com/details?id=uniqueName.photoAlbumManager&feature=also_installed
There's also Photo Gallery Fish bowl, looking promissing
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.littlefatfish.photo&feature=order_history

I believe Quickpic is the Gallery replacement of choice:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result
I'm going to try it myself now as i'm sick and tired of the default Gallery!

i use the normal one

I prefer the one in HTC Sense to a stock gallery. The 3D Google one is problematic and slow.
I just tried Quickpic and love it. It has all the simplicity of the Sense gallery and is a bit faster at loading.

As DarkGently1 already mentioned, Quickpick is a good choice. It's got a clean UI, you're able to hide specific pictures and folders and more features.

hum
I have QuickPick, very great

Installed and...loving it so far. Yes the default Gallery has pretty effects but Quickpic is just so much faster and easier to use. The additional features are useful without being unnecessary bloatware too.

I'm using HTC different photo gallery...
I want to use another one but it seems the stock one is the fastest..

I use the standard gallery on my phone. Think it works quite well.
I like to say hello to everyone as well, since this is my first post!

I am not much of a believer in replacing default apps, but, on using Quickpic, I just had to shift. It's that good, and, on a low end device like my Wildfire, the difference over anything else (Including CM Gallery 2D - Gallery 3D doesn't work) is as big as night and day.
Sold on it completely, and its definitely for keeps.

normal one

Quickpic is one of the best

QuickPic is very fast and a great app for local images. I use gallery3d on my phone, as I have a large number of picasa web albums, and those integrate well with gallery3d. Last version of QuickPic that I used did not support the online galleries... *however* it's blazing fast!

yes, we must wait for next release of quickpic

how about droidiris?

HTC Desire's stock gallery.

Yes, quickpick is the best out there and I've tried a few.

For now I use stock gallery3D from cyanogenmod 6.3.0 for milestone but I will try quickpic as soon as I solved the problem that market sees my device as not compatible with most apps.

Quickpic works for me.

I like Mui for both the camera and the photo gallery on the DINC.

[Q] List of Apps

Can anyone put together a list of apps that would be good to get my new infuse started off with. I want to customize it, but I want to do it right. So what's the best launcher, clock, lockscreen, whatever. Let me hear it.

this is ALL personal preference here.........

Then let me hear yours!

Try browsing www.appbrain.com/users/gdbusby that is what I have installed
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

ADW launcher is really nice. it is very customizable, and lets you view the phone in landscape mode, which the stock launcher does not allow. the free one is good, but the paid one is much better (great homescreen transitions, animations).
i also needed to replace the stock music player, since it wont play FLAC (lossless) audio files - so i use poweramp. it has a really nice full screen widget (takes up an entire home screen, but there are also smaller widget options) so that you don't have to launch the app every time. i use the free version, not sure what benefits the paid version offers. it does skip slightly when i get an email or text, however it doesnt really bother me.
it is also nice to get a visual voicemail service going, especially if you are coming from iphone or blackberry. i tried PF fusion for a while - but google voice is much better. just sign up for an account if you don't have one already, download the app, and it will guide you through setup. it also has a nice widget option.
those are some basics for you - but it really is just a matter of personal preference and experimentation.

I personly would recomend a few apps to help
VitalPlayer - As I like it better then the default
Dolpfin Brwser - the guester are great add on to it.
Save this page - to read web pages when I am on the train underground
Doggcatcher - to down load your pod cast when you plug it in and over wifi instead of eating your battery or data plan.

[REF]Must Have apps....

At first big thnx to Superace69 for this...
And me too..For posting this....
This is a list of recommended apps to make your Android experience an awesome one.
The apps that work under the hood like the rom and ram script are for Galaxy FIT. Afterwards, everything else works for every phone.
I'll be adding apps over time so keep on coming back and checking!
I feel like the FIT has a lot of apps and themes to choose from. Here is a list of the apps I believe are epicly awesome.
What's a phone without space and some right app management? For that, I recommend s2e. It moves all the Dalvik Cache to the SD card. When I first installed it, it freed up 92MB of internal memory that I didn't knew what getting used up.
S2E: https://play.google.com/details?i...aWt1bi5zMmUiXQ..
A pretty good ram manager for any phone would be Ram Manager. It keeps your phone running smoothly and worry free.
Ram Manager:https://market.android.com/details?i...dGlvbkZyZWUiXQ..
For backups and more app management, I highly recommend Titanium Backup. One of the best apps out there hands down. You can batch move all your apps to SD, back up all your apps and system data or just apps if you like. Its so epic, it even backs up all the data on a game. Since I like to switch things a lot on my phone, I use a lot of back ups and Titanium always has me covered.
Titanium Backup https://market.android.com/details?i...dW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..
Now for themes; I highly recommend the ICS theme from AChep. This theme completely spices up your phone to the newest and fancy ICS. It changes up everything. Its the BEST ICS theme you'll find out there.
ICS Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1313722
For some really awesome ICS live wallpapers, here are some epic ones;
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper: https://market.android.com/details?i...NzaWMubGl0ZSJd
And Ice Cream Sandwich Live WP: https://market.android.com/details?i...BhcGVyLnBybyJd
The second one is a paid app but its really worth the money.
Anyway if you want more kickass themes, check out this post! They rock
More Themes!:http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1...hooser-themes/
Afterwards, I present to you the awesome Roboto Font. They new font looks really cool and a different font gives a whole new feel to your phone. To install it, you must first install Font Changer, extract the font and put it in the Font Changer folder in the SD.
Roboto Font: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1309621
Font Changer: https://market.android.com/details?i...FuZ2VybGl0ZSJd
Next up is an awesome add-on. It gives your status bar a whole new makeover with the ICS style. This add-on also hooks up your phone with the ICS transitions. In my case they're really fast and work wonderfully. Another epic piece of work from CM7.2's dev.
[ANIMATION][STATUS BAR] ICS for CM7.2 by J.A.F. :http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1360899
To mess with your system files or just check out whats inside your SD, I recommend Root explorer or ES file explorer. Whichever one fits your taste.
Here's another ICS look changer! Themes your lock screen to the ICS style! Just flash it and everything will be fine.
ICS Lockscreen:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...70&postcount=1
Root Explorer: https://market.android.com/details?i...RleHBsb3JlciJd
ES File explorer: https://market.android.com/details?i...HJvaWQucG9wIl0.
Now if you want to get rid of all of those ads (Or mostly) I present to you AdFree. This app blocks out most ads from getting to your device.
AdFree: https://market.android.com/details?i...ZC5hZGZyZWUiXQ..
Now, what's an FIT with a whole bunch of customization but still with the same old bootanimation? Here's where this thread comes in handy; its one of the largest repositories of bootanimations. Pick one that suits your taste and enjoy!
Bootanimations: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20634060/Android-Hilfe/bootanimation_bios/download.html
If you like cloud storage; DropBox is what I recommend. The simple UI makes everything really easy to use. If you don't feel like going through the hassle of connecting your phone via USB just to pass a simple file, you can always DropBox it through your PC and download it to your phone. (Lazy, I know )
DropBox: https://market.android.com/details?i...LmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
Here's the best notepad ever. The only issue I have with it is that you can't set it as a sticky note widget. But besides that, it does EVERYTHING you can possibly think of.
Evernote:https://market.android.com/details?i...5ldmVybm90ZSJd

Now for web browsing... There's a whole bunch of browsers out there and I can honestly say I've tried them all except one I didn't download because I had the mini version already. Turns out that one that I didn't try was actually the best one. I'm talking about Opera. Opera is smooth, slick and speedy as hell. Its got decent features to use. If you want a max customizable browser, go for Dolphin HD.
Opera Browser: https://market.android.com/details?i...LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
Dolphin HD: https://market.android.com/details?i...nlCcm93c2VyIl0.
A new browser has been discovered. Its fast and the UI looks really good. Its called Nineski Browser.
Ninoski Browser:https://market.android.com/details?i...LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
For music, I really like Power AMP. The UI is very cool and it has a couple of themes you can use to switch it up a bit. The equalizer is pretty good too and it has some customization that could change up the way you listen to music on your phone. It offers a 15 day trial and then you have to buy the app. Its another one thats really worth the money.
Power Amp: https://market.android.com/details?i...aW9wbGF5ZXIiXQ..
If you like to keep an eye on what your usage is, whether its data, calls or sms; Traffic counter is the one for you. It counts every single MB of data that enters or exits your phone and is pretty accurate.
Traffic Counter: https://market.android.com/details?i...WNjb3VudGVyIl0.
Here's another counter. This one details everything you can possibly know about your battery!
Battery Monitor Widget:https://market.android.com/details?i...2NjNzEuYm13Il0.
Now this next one will make your life A LOT easier. This next app can make a widget of almost ANYTHING you can think of in your phone. Its called Widgetsoid and it works wonders.

Friendcaster:https://market.android.com/details?i...3RpZnlGcmVlIl0.

I personally like having a loud phone. But since our FIT's speaker is a little too low, I fix that up with Volume+. Works wonders. There's a free and paid version. The paid lets you set your volume higher. Here's the link:
Volume+:https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...cm9pZC5sdmgiXQ..
This next one is a file manager. But I mostly use it to make back up apks of apps. Its Astro. If my friend wants an app I have, I just back it up and bluetooth it to him. Simple =D

This next one is one I found out about recently since I didn't like the dialer of a rom I was using. Afterwards, it became my replacement dialer for every rom I use xD. Here's exDialer. Has some pretty cool themes too.

Since I'm a musician, a tuner is really important. This one always has my back. I'm talking about gStrings
gStrings:https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=search_result
The only calculator you'll ever need in ALL of Android.
Handycalc:https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=search_result
System Tuner Pro might be a paid app, but there's no other task manager like it. Highly recommend it.

The next one is a complete replacement for the FaceBook chat. I honestly like it better than the normal chat on the desktop website too xD. Here's Go chat!

Well, this about sums up the epic apps on my phone for now. If you have any other recommendations, please post it in the comments and tell us why you like it!
Last but not the least..

At first big thnx to Superace69 for this...
And me too..For posting this....
This is a list of recommended apps to make your Android experience an awesome one.
The apps that work under the hood like the rom and ram script are for Galaxy FIT. Afterwards, everything else works for every phone.
I'll be adding apps over time so keep on coming back and checking!
I feel like the FIT has a lot of apps and themes to choose from. Here is a list of the apps I believe are epicly awesome.
What's a phone without space and some right app management? For that, I recommend s2e. It moves all the Dalvik Cache to the SD card. When I first installed it, it freed up 92MB of internal memory that I didn't knew what getting used up.
S2E: https://play.google.com/details?i...aWt1bi5zMmUiXQ..
A pretty good ram manager for any phone would be Ram Manager. It keeps your phone running smoothly and worry free.
Ram Manager:https://market.android.com/details?i...dGlvbkZyZWUiXQ..
For backups and more app management, I highly recommend Titanium Backup. One of the best apps out there hands down. You can batch move all your apps to SD, back up all your apps and system data or just apps if you like. Its so epic, it even backs up all the data on a game. Since I like to switch things a lot on my phone, I use a lot of back ups and Titanium always has me covered.
Titanium Backup https://market.android.com/details?i...dW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..
Now for themes; I highly recommend the ICS theme from AChep. This theme completely spices up your phone to the newest and fancy ICS. It changes up everything. Its the BEST ICS theme you'll find out there.
ICS Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1313722
For some really awesome ICS live wallpapers, here are some epic ones;
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper: https://market.android.com/details?i...NzaWMubGl0ZSJd
And Ice Cream Sandwich Live WP: https://market.android.com/details?i...BhcGVyLnBybyJd
The second one is a paid app but its really worth the money.
Anyway if you want more kickass themes, check out this post! They rock
More Themes!:http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1...hooser-themes/
Afterwards, I present to you the awesome Roboto Font. They new font looks really cool and a different font gives a whole new feel to your phone. To install it, you must first install Font Changer, extract the font and put it in the Font Changer folder in the SD.
Roboto Font: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1309621
Font Changer: https://market.android.com/details?i...FuZ2VybGl0ZSJd
Next up is an awesome add-on. It gives your status bar a whole new makeover with the ICS style. This add-on also hooks up your phone with the ICS transitions. In my case they're really fast and work wonderfully. Another epic piece of work from CM7.2's dev.
[ANIMATION][STATUS BAR] ICS for CM7.2 by J.A.F. :http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1360899
To mess with your system files or just check out whats inside your SD, I recommend Root explorer or ES file explorer. Whichever one fits your taste.
Here's another ICS look changer! Themes your lock screen to the ICS style! Just flash it and everything will be fine.
ICS Lockscreen:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...70&postcount=1
Root Explorer: https://market.android.com/details?i...RleHBsb3JlciJd
ES File explorer: https://market.android.com/details?i...HJvaWQucG9wIl0.
Now if you want to get rid of all of those ads (Or mostly) I present to you AdFree. This app blocks out most ads from getting to your device.
AdFree: https://market.android.com/details?i...ZC5hZGZyZWUiXQ..
Now, what's an FIT with a whole bunch of customization but still with the same old bootanimation? Here's where this thread comes in handy; its one of the largest repositories of bootanimations. Pick one that suits your taste and enjoy!
Bootanimations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1348731
If you like cloud storage; DropBox is what I recommend. The simple UI makes everything really easy to use. If you don't feel like going through the hassle of connecting your phone via USB just to pass a simple file, you can always DropBox it through your PC and download it to your phone. (Lazy, I know )
DropBox: https://market.android.com/details?i...LmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
Here's the best notepad ever. The only issue I have with it is that you can't set it as a sticky note widget. But besides that, it does EVERYTHING you can possibly think of.
Evernote:https://market.android.com/details?i...5ldmVybm90ZSJd
The stock gallery app is kind of slow and sluggish sometimes so here's a little something to speed up your picture viewing experience.
Quick Pic: https://market.android.com/details?i...GljRm9sZGVyIl0.
Need some help in math class? Here's a scientific calculator to make things a little easier!
RealCalc: https://market.android.com/details?i...5SZWFsQ2FsYyJd
Now for web browsing... There's a whole bunch of browsers out there and I can honestly say I've tried them all except one I didn't download because I had the mini version already. Turns out that one that I didn't try was actually the best one. I'm talking about Opera. Opera is smooth, slick and speedy as hell. Its got decent features to use. If you want a max customizable browser, go for Dolphin HD.
Opera Browser: https://market.android.com/details?i...LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
Dolphin HD: https://market.android.com/details?i...nlCcm93c2VyIl0.
A new browser has been discovered. Its fast and the UI looks really good. Its called Nineski Browser.
Ninoski Browser:https://market.android.com/details?i...LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
For music, I really like Power AMP. The UI is very cool and it has a couple of themes you can use to switch it up a bit. The equalizer is pretty good too and it has some customization that could change up the way you listen to music on your phone. It offers a 15 day trial and then you have to buy the app. Its another one thats really worth the money.
Power Amp: https://market.android.com/details?i...aW9wbGF5ZXIiXQ..
If you like to keep an eye on what your usage is, whether its data, calls or sms; Traffic counter is the one for you. It counts every single MB of data that enters or exits your phone and is pretty accurate.
Traffic Counter: https://market.android.com/details?i...WNjb3VudGVyIl0.
Here's another counter. This one details everything you can possibly know about your battery!
Battery Monitor Widget:https://market.android.com/details?i...2NjNzEuYm13Il0.
Now this next one will make your life A LOT easier. This next app can make a widget of almost ANYTHING you can think of in your phone. Its called Widgetsoid and it works wonders.
Widgetsoid: https://market.android.com/details?i...mNvbS5qaW0yIl0.
There are a lot of people having the "Insufficient storage available" problem when downloading apps through market, Here's a fix:
MarketFix:https://market.android.com/details?i...1hcmtldGZpeCJd
Here is another beastly app that EVERY ROOT/CUSTOM ROM USER MUST HAVE.Which ever one fits you. Point is, you need to have it.
ROM Toolbox:https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
I never thought I'd put this app in here because of all the flaws but they finally fixed it. Facebook 1.8.0. The update is completely in sync with the web version and everything just simply works wonderfully.
Facebook:https://market.android.com/details?i...9rLmthdGFuYSJd
And well, if Facebook doesn't work for you, here's a complete (and better in my opinion) replacement!
Friendcaster:https://market.android.com/details?i...3RpZnlGcmVlIl0.
This next app speeds up the reading and writing speed of your SD card for less waiting time. If you're like me that waits an eternity for the SD to get scanned at boot, wait no more and install this!
SD-Booster:https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

Since our phone doesn't have an LED notification, here's a complete replacement! (Must have a kernel that supports it!)
BLN:https://market.android.com/details?i...HJvbC5mcmVlIl0.
This next app fakes a call to get you out of those weird and awkward situations!

-ATTENTION-
Some Market links may not work...So it's better that you find apps in play store directly by searching...

REMOVE BLN! it wont work with our model because we dont have an LED in soft buttons like ACE.

Good list, but needs screenshots for users like me who are too lazy to manually check on each link to view the app. imo.
I double agree on Titanium, Quick Pic, all the ICS links, and Drop box.
Although, I prefer Dolphin HD over Opera.
