Soon recieving HTC Titan - What now?

I'm getting my HTC Titan on the 25th and I wonder what I need to do right away I get it. What apps are "most have" and so on? I'm familiar with jailbreaking/rooting and so on so you guys know where I come from.

if i could do it all over again, i would export my contacts from google to live, as well as the calendar. that would eliminate a lot of clean up that i had to do (not saying everyone will have some conflicts, i had a lot of custom fields on a lot of my contacts, so numbers and addresses got duplicated).
other than that, just sign in when you get the phone. it's simple.
some good apps to get:
facebook (2.3 easily made the wp7 facebook the best on any mobile platform)
octrotalk (if you use google talk for chat/video calling
7pass (if you use keepass)
appflow (make finding good apps in the marketplace easier)
battlelog companion (if you play BF3)
flixster (if you like movies)
thumba photo editor
tvshow 2.0 or primetv (if you follow any tv series)
twitter (if you do that sort of thing)
vimeo
weather master
weave
wpcentral
xbmc remote by ashterisk (if you use xbmc)
youtube pro
shuffle party
z0mb1es (on teh ph0ne)
BBB: app-ocalypse
xbox live extras
then pick up a good navigation app (i use navigon, but these can get pricey)
and those are the apps i use

What app do you recommend for calendar, or is the stock one already good? I'm using WeekCal on my iPhone which can see the full week in a very nice way.

The built in agenda view works really well. And day view. Doesn' t have week but i have so many appointments with week view it would be worthless.

i just use the native calendar app, works great and includes tasking. it's not as "pretty" as weekcal, but it works great and is easy to use and view.

[Daydream][4.2+]Wakeup Daydream

Hello everybody!
Would you like to use your tablet as a live billboard showing the current time as well as the RSS feed of your choice with large fonts that you could read from across the room ?
It is useful for:
a) Night watch
b) Glance at the screen from across the room when you prepare to leave to work.

One thing the app doesn't try to do is be another application that shows temperature, or integrate with aggregation services.
Features:
You have full control over most of the aspects of the application, here are some of the features:
a) whether to show the hour in bold or not
b) color for hour / minutes and 12/24 hours format
c) color and font size of the headlines
d) fade-in animation for the free version (2 more animations on the PRO version)
e) refresh interval
f) it does not integrate with Google / Facebook etc, you have to type in a valid RSS feed URL.
This uses the Daydream functionality added in Android 4.2 thus will not work if you have an older version of Android.
It does not install an Application icon, you have to go to Settings / Display, activate the Daydream functionality if it is currently disabled, then you will see a new entry - Wakeup Daydream. You can then configure it and set it as default.
I have set the Daydream to start when my tablet is connected to the charger.
Animations are nice to have, but they use a lot of the processor power. Please set the Animation to None if you want to minimize CPU usage.

PS: I have decided to write this app when one morning I had to make a long detour because the park was closed due to bad weather. Had I known this in advance when I left home (it was the first news on the local news website) I would have saved 10-15 minutes of my time. I like to leave my old Huawei tablet on the night stand and use it as a night watch + glance from time to time to it to check the news as I get ready to leave to work.
I hope it will save you some time and keep you more informed

Best chat app?

Hi,
I have a website and quite a few members have suggested that adding a chat room would be a great idea.
I'm searching for something I might be able to integrate well into my site.
Has anyone tried RumbleTalk or C-box?

I made a lot of research in
finding a chatroom for my website. I used envolve for a
while till they closed up, pitty. I tried IRC but I truly did not like
the look and feel and the “mess” of text in there.
I had several points which are important to me.
1
– First I needed a chat that can be seen in mobile (all versions) so I
narrowed down the search for html5 chat room that look good on both
mobile and pc.
2 – I needed a custom design, I needed my background to be black or transparent. This was very hard to find (my site is dark).
3 – I do not like to install the chat in my server as this is high cpu and resource consumer. So I need a chat service.
4 – Lastly, I needed the ability to add youtube videos and upload files.
I have checked several chats and only 2 met my needs, RumbleTalk and Cbox.
I choose RumbleTalk finally as it can be integrated into my page and not only as toolbar.

PHPBB Social Network, search on Internet Bro. xD

in Indonesia we mostly used BBM..
but i think whatsapp ist better

Well I was looking for a html chat. I did quite deep research on it in the last year. Tried over 20 of them and I can tell you, the best one is Rumbletalk. Thats for sure!

Rumbletalk is number one!

It is. It also has a free trial available now.

The thing is that with Rumbletalk you can manage just about anything. Backround, text style, wight and height of the chat room, etc etc,.. That is why so many people love it. You can also use it as a floating chat or as a window chat.

Travel Times widget

Hi,
I've just purchased an android phone (Note 8) and had a question about google maps travel widgets. In IOS there was a handy widget which gave current travel times to home/work based on traffic conditions. It looked like the below. I'm having trouble locating something similar for Android though. Since it's a google product surely it exists ?

Hi,
I'm looking for that too

Google Now the assistant on your device. Most call it Hey Google, or Google Assistant. In your app drawer open the Google app, then at the bottom it says More. This opens a profile looking page and in the list select Customize and here you can set many custom things based on your preferences including Commute. It will show you Travel time updates, Updates on traffic incidents, Travel times to get home, Travel info for getting to work, Travel times to places you visit and Nearby public transit stops. Then a list of preferences. It works pretty well. I don't know how it knows when there are accidents but it will tell you that, including the expected delay times. One word of caution though, if you change your navigation preferences in Google Maps, for example I often choose to turn on Avoid Highways because the fastest way is not always the most fun or interesting way, and your commute uses interstates it will show you routes and times that don't include the interstate until you turn this option off. So for a few days my normally 35 minute drive showed nearly an hour until it occurred to me that my last navigation was one where I had chosen to avoid highways. I'm assuming the same is true for Avoid Toll Roads and Avoid Ferries.
So that's the Google app>More>Customize>Commute.
You'll get updates in your notifications, it won't actually show as a widget. Sorry I understood what you wanted but didn't notice that you wanted it in a widget form. On a side note you can ask Google to display your Commute time by saying Hey Google or Ok Google and asking for your commute time.
