Just got my X10 and im looking for cool apps that really work to make my X10 more fun...what r the really cool apps and where can i get them?
What is the best X10 app?
Get the appbrain app from the market.
You can then sort the market to find the most popular/ highest rated apps.
u mean i must download the appbrain app onto my x10 then search from there?
Here's what I've got installed.
first apps i always install:
Fun/Useful
LauncherPro Plus (i use a modified version found in the main android theming forum)
Google Voice
Handcent
Dolphin Browser HD (awesome browser with great features much like chrome)
Angry Birds (addictive game)
Wordfeud (another addictive game)
KeepassDroid (i use keepass on my desktop, i can se the same database for both, so my passwords and logins are sync'd and encrypted on both my phone and desktop)
Barcode Scanner
Uverse Mobile (use it to set recordings on the go)
Winamp (awesome music player with wifi sync ability)
SwiFTP (use it to ftp items to phone rather than mounting sd card)
Weather Channel
XDA App
SyncMyPix (syncs profile pics from facebook)
Vignette (excellent camera app that makes full use of the x10's 8mp camera)
System Utilities:
Z4Root
Root Explorer
SetCPU
Quadrant
Linpack
Titanium Backup
Theme Stuff:
Beautiful Widgets
Pure Calendar Agenda
Circle Battery Widget
Ninja Morph
Switchpro
Here is my apps.
Here you go, complete thread for you !!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845086
Wanted to start a thread where everyone could list 3 of their most useful apps with a quick description, idea is that there may be some great software out there that others are missing out on. I certainly would like to find more ways of making my device more useful or efficient.
Ill start off:
LLAMA - detects you location via cell towers and can toggle things like wifi bluetooth or sound profiles
CUBED or ³ - music player, but has a very cool and easy to use interface
UNLOCK WITH WIFI - when connected to your wifi you dont need to input the security pattern (handy at home)
Smart Taskbar Pro- Adds a little half circle (or square) to the edge of your screen which makes your apps accessible from anywhere. Even had a favorites list. Extremely convenient.
Widget Locker-A lockscreen replacement. Its customizable. And convenient for me because the sensation doesn't have a trackpad so now I can use my volume buttons to wake the phone and then the back key to unlock. Really a great program and you can still have pin code lock protection.
Launch Key-allows you to set the " hold search key option"to any app, shortcut, or system function.
I like apps that reduce multitasking time and these apps really do it for me.
Best 3 Apps
Spare parts - resizes the apps that don't seem to fit the full size of the screen, as well as other things.
Crackle - Legally stream movies and television for free.
Skyfire - The best web browser in my opinion.
Smart app protector- allows you to lock any app with a password
Awesome drop- easy to use wireless file transfer between computer and phone
Lightwell live wallpaper- wallpaper that displays the battery, time and date and more so you dont have to clog up homescreens with widgets

Tasker - a lot more powerfull than LLAMA, but also not so user friendly
PowerAMP - music player (plays losless using cue sheets)
Dice Player - absolutely the best video player for Sensation
could you post links to said apps?
1: Pandora- Internet radio.
2: Netflix- I'm a huge movie buff.
3: Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus- Great online fps game.
Where can you download that crackle app for streaming movies and tv? I couldn't find it on the marketplace.

QuicKPic -- Because stock Gallery just sucks so bad.
Ghost Commander -- Every OS needs a file manager, and this is one of the best. Great for rooters, too!
Wuala -- Like Dropbox, but with decent security features.
Android Central app -- Duh! Keep up with your fav devices and Android rumors on the go.
Hacker's Keyboard -- Awesome general purpose keyboard. Extra-must-haavy if you are on a tablet.

CPU spy,
Writepad,
Super Video, and

Super User / SuperSU - the most important.
Your phone is gay without one of them.
I'm learning Russian and German so Dictionaries and Google translator are my favorite apps.
Google Authenticator - Now I can sync my passwords without worrying.
Google Plus - I don't use Facebook.
and Google Finance.
Apart from what's already been mentioned above...
Just Pictures - I have my local, facebook, picasa and deviant art photos all in one place.
Pulse - much prefer this to Flipboard or currents as you can see more news stories at a glance and decide which ones you then want to read, instead of having to flip through each story individually.
Freenote+ - my go to note taking app
Dolphin Browser HD
Whatsapp - hardly send any sms messages now
Picsart
Pro HDR Camera
Caustic - easily the best Android music sequencer
Audio Evolution - easily the best Android multi track recorder
Tape machine - the best app for playing and chopping audio files
Loopstack - hours of fun. the best looper on Android.
Easyband - good for mapping out song ideas
Solo - nice for noodling around with song ideas
My guitar - more realistic than Solo, but a bit fiddly on the touch screen as your fingers have no traction on the strings.
Moon+ Reader
Showtimes
aCar - good for tracking costs and mileage
Philips DictationRecorder
My favorite app is Philips Dictation Recorder

Action Launcher Pro; Love this launcher on AOSP ROMs..
FlowFree; Nice Game..
Every device on XDA has one so why not us, I also own the tombile version but hey its basically the same thing, so i thought i might as well bring it over to our side
I'm going to share some useful applications I have on my GS2.
1.Rotation Locker - It locks your screen to either Portrait or Landscape. Awesome app to have when playing temple run in landscape.
2. Rom ToolBox Pro - ROM Toolbox combines apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, ROM Manager, front changer, and etc. Basically your swiss army knife for a root user.
3. AdFree for Android - I hate annoying ads this app removes most ads in the browser and other apps.
4. MXPlayer - one of the best apps for viewing movies and online content if you dont want to use gallery.
5. ProPlayer Music Player - Awesome music player that support all music formats, built in EQ, allows you to change songs when phone in standby mode by just the volume button
6.Tweetcaster - Great App to use if you tried of twitter. other than that its a social networking app that needs no explanation
7. Amazon App Store - They offer a Free Paid App Of The Day (snag rom toolbox pro off of there this is a must have app) did i mention FREE PAID APP A DAY!!!!!
8. XDA App - No Explanation at all
9. Dolphin browser HD - To me Best web browser on the android market (Plz remember this is an opinion lol)
10. Audio Manager / hide it pro - If you have one of those girlfriends/wife that love going threw your phone (call log, sms, pictures.) This app is perfect for you. lets u hide pictures, videos, applications, messages, and calls in your phone in plain sight.
This is a community and we all have the same device so lets help each other out. If you want to know what's a good app is regarding your needs, ask in this thread and I, or others, will be able to help you out.
*NOTE* If you know any unique or useful applications dont be selfish and keep it to yourself, please add them in this thread so I and others on this thread can check them out. Hey you never know who you may help or surprise on this thread
A couple ones I find useful:
Zarchiver - a file manager/explorer program. Makes extracting and keeping track of things a lot easier.
App Garden - Bunch of utilities in one. Calculator, unit conversions, dictionary, etc. Great value and space saver.

Also, not sure of this is really "useful", but if you're a fan of anime, I'd recommend you download Watchwhatanime. It's a free anime streaming app with an extremely wide selection, so you'll more than likely find whatever anime you're into. Especially good if you're into Naruto, Bleach or any other currently running anime that Crunchyroll holds out on. If you don't mind waiting an extra day, the latest episodes are available, as opposed to either waiting a week or paying for a crunchyroll subscription.

Nope. After I hid an app I'd go to the hidden apps section, highlight an app and select unhide but it never reappear in app drawer.

Have you seen the recently updated version? It's much easier. Just pick your anime, select the "episodes" tab, choose your episode and click a streaming link (options available for most of them are videoweed, video44, novamov) all streaming links for that episode contain the same episode. There's just multiple there in case one link is broken.

Es file explorer
My movies pro - I have 600 movies.. This app kicks ass!
