Hi! I've been looking for a few apps to make my phone better and I realized that I urgently need an app to delete all of my phone if it will be stolen! I also need an app that will record short voice reminders.
I've found a few but they didnt have a nice GUI and I hate the winmo GUI. can anyone recommend some nice looking apps for my needs above?
Saw this yesterday
pretty much does what you need for the stolen phone part although might not look as nice as you want. but who needs looks when you can have functionality, no?

I was just reading comments in another thread about Widgets that cause battery drain by preventing the phone from sleeping properly.
In addition, I was reading recently, on some blog, about how so many apps request access to so many areas of an Android phone for no acceptable reason.
It would interesting to a large number of users, I think, if there were a stickey that compiled battery draining widgets and overbearing apps.
I'm sure we've all noticed some basic app, a keyboard theme maybe, that wants access to everything! Why? I've installed more sophisticated apps that want access to almost nothing.
I'd start the thread but I'm too lazy ... er ... busy .. I'm more of an idea man

I've always wondered why that was too and/or why devs feel the need to make apps that way when they don't or shouldn't need to have access to everything.
i guess its because the devs are lazy bastards
In programming its common to use some "basic framework" from other sources in your programs (for handling incomeing calls etc... )
Task killers kill the battery, bbelieve it or not.

I was testing random apps this morning just to see what they want access to. Surprisingly a bunch want access to my contacts even though they have nothing to do with phone/email/sms.
So how many thousands do I need to test

So, I decided that the $5 for the car cradle from verizon was too tempting. I've recieved it and have been using it for a day or so and it serves it's purpose. A good charging station that keeps it from sliding around my center console. I'd like to utilize the CarCradle app, but with the removal of bing (I'm not disappointed by this) the app dead-ends when selecting Maps, Voice Search & Navigator. Would it be possible to re-establish links to Google Maps, Goodle Voice Search & Google Navigator instead? I know that there are many other car apps on the market but this one isn't terrible, providing that the links work.
I've unpacked the .apk file but it's like trying to read Swahili. I wouldn't know the first place to begin. I'd like to eventually try my hand at app building but I'm a long way off.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Peace,
Ray
sure, wouldn't be hard at all actually! I'll work on this sometime this week/weekend
wouldnt this be considered as warez if it was modded for foryo.
Thanks Trailblazer, I look forward to seeing your result. The desk cradle app is suffering from the same de-binged issue if you're interested. I still don't understand why Samsung didn't allow for any customization with these two apps. Oh well, it is what it is.
Bierce22, I don't know. If that were the case you could say the same about 75% of the apps that make their way out to the public. Transparent widgets and apps and such would be similar, I would think. For that matter the froyo rom we now have could be considered the same. But I don't know the ins and outs of all this stuff. I'm just a simple end user looking the get the most out of a pretty good phone with lots of potential.
this is just my opinion i dont wont to start a big debate or flaming contest but i remember when theimpailer got in trouble for modding andgry birds to get it to run on lower devices he took out the adds in order to make it work. i just dont want to see someone get into trouble. if u fix it then keep it to yourself and problem soloved lol.
It's all good, I didn't see it as the beginning of a flame anything. The way I see that situation, and I only know what you have posted here, is that Angry Birds is a paid app in the market. Modding that and reposting could be considered copyright infringement, much like reposting an mp3 of a song on the old Napster. These Apps are included as part of the Samsung android os. I guess to eliminate the possibility of being infringement the "proper" thing to do would be to mod the app and only include it in an updated ROM. That way only current Continuum owners could aquire the Apps. But the nature of the open source OS is the ability to freely share modification and development. At least that's the way I see it, for whatever that's worth. Thanks for keeping us honest though. Simply because you can doesn't always mean that you ought. I don't see any issue with this situation... Then again, I'm a little biased as I'm the one interested in the mod. ;-)

Cradle Apps
Hi All,
I started the same musings on the accessory thread, then I started downloading alternatives. I haven't tried any of them because my car cradle was working with Google Maps and Search. I wonder if the de-Bing rom works the same way. I haven't tried that either. I get the same errors you speak of with the original 2.2 rom. I think to use these alternatives you just need to use something like Root Explorer to rename the stock app and name the new one the original stock app name. Search and you shall see the results of the different apps. I can post what I found if needed.
hey guys, would anyone know where i could find a simply basic app engine for android? im thinking of porting "cards against humanity" by a simple way, im not gonna release much detials so nobody steals it but pretty much for now all i want is for it to have two option of cards (black question cards and white answer cards) super simple for now. eventually i would like to take ahold of googles recent play games update with the mutiplayer and put in a point system
I know that this post is a pretty common one but in certain way it is and in certain way it's NOT , why? Well, I've been searching and searching for a complete application and almost all have what is needed in order to satisfy you but for me, it doesn't, because most of this apps have a pretty old school UI, no material, no nothing, it's ugly to see them. So I'm asking for a complete app and if someone knows about one please tell me. Thanks
Deezer Music looks great, but I think this app is not free
