Best 3rd party apps for Cyanogenmod? - HTC Sensation

What would you guys recommend as replacements for the cyanogenmod apps to regain the functionality of the Sense versions of Messaging, Camera, and other apps as well? I tried cm9 out, but kept going back to sense because i've been spoiled by the included apps.

So you guys are showing me that you have NO OPINIONS on what are some really good apps to use as replacements for the camera app and messaging app? Come on, now.

There are 9000 SMS apps on the Play Store. Some have very unique features. But none of those features are better or worse than others. They are are just different. It depends on the user. Some people love 1 app and hate another. Other people love the other and hate the 1.
The best thing to do is try out a bunch of different apps and see which ones are best suited to you. You can make it easier by reading the descriptions in the Play Store and see which ones seem like they even have a shot at being good for you.
But I can sit here and say that Go SMS is the best messaging app in the world and rave about how much I love it....and you might try it and hate it with a passion. So I can't tell you what you're going to like. Neither can anyone else.

I hear what you're saying, but i'm really just wanting peoples opinions on apps.From there, I can go on to try them out and choose what's best for me. I think that that'll be easier to do than going onto the playstore and searching through the thousands of similar apps. Oh, and hey, another Marylander!

U can find peoples opinions on apps in the reviews within the play store... no need to ask people on here too

More opinions available on the Play Store than you could ever find here. Plus screen shots. Plus change logs. And on every app you click on there's recommendations for 4 more apps that are similar to that one!

Auto tune app

So after searching, and doing a lot of research I still haven't found a decent auto tuning application. Were are the devs at?? Im willing to pay, and im sure there are plenty of more people who are. With the release of the "I am t-pain" app on the iphone, android hasn't been able to keep up. I love the **** out of my evo, but I feel like there should be more in the app market. Theres no good drum apps, no auto tune, no good keyboard/synth apps, no recording apps. Why are we slacking so hard here. What the hell do we need to do to get this going and produce apps people want that aren't pointless. Please, lets shed some light on this!

Thank you, even if they made an app that could port iphone apps that would be amazing. Or even make apps on the iphone compatible with bump, cause I noticed you cant put apps in bump on the iphone like you can with droid. Maybe something along these lines would be better and cut the hassle of making apps for different platforms, and at the same time everyone can be happy.

Anyway, I feel your pain. There really aren't any really nice music apps for android. I use beat maker on my ipod touch and its damn near a production center, unfortunately we just don't have the developer support. Not sure w are gonna get any support any time soon. They can't even pay developers to jump ship and develop for android

As someone who's actually tried to get something like I Am T-Pain working on Android, I can tell you the reason you don't see more music apps like the ones Smule does for iPhone is due to the relative lack of any sort of low latency audio API in Android. See here for more information: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434
I just found it amazing you said Android been behind the curve ever since the t pain app for iPhone, as if that's THE app that defines how good an OS is. Wow. Just as you said its a time waster, cool, but ultimately useless, and therefore I'm sure its not a priority right now.
Would be fun to play with though, all I have is my 1g ipod touch so I never got to mess around with it. Just not somethin I'm hurting for
Why so much hate in this topic? The guy is looking for a neat app on the apps discussion board. Big ****ing deal. If you don't like it, then don't even post and save everyone else the time of finding out what a baby you are.

Wow... I don't see any problem with posting this, but for real... why the heck do you type like that? I'd rather not read another post of yours formatted in such a way. It's not clever, and it doesn't make you look smart.
I do have to say one thing though. Anyone can make a list of programs, to provide people with something useful however.. that is another task. You give no information about these programs, you give no reference to the authors of these programs, you give no information about where to legitimately acquire these programs.. I would also doubt that all of these vendors want you distributing their software without permissions, even if they are available for free.
If you want people to view your posting as helpful, you may want to reconsider your approach. Format your text in a helpful and organized method (it's not a headline, or a title to a book). Include helpful and concise information about the applications. Provide links (at the very least) to the webpages associated with the applications. etc.

Hold on.....all sarcasm aside, im really curious.
you posted a lot of things here, and the way your OP makes it sound is that these apps (or "Market Alternatives" as you call them), offer apps that you cannot get on the android market. Is this correct? Or are these, in fact, just another place to get the same apps that are on the Android Market??
Let's ask this different; Have you tried some of the alternative markets? And did you stick to anyone of them?
I totally agree there are a lot of things that could be improved in the stock market, but I'm not going to try all the versions you've posted Can we cross some of the list?

Is it just me or did everyone stop rating apps in Play Store?

I used to get a least one rating per day in Google Play Store but I haven't gotten a single rating in 5 days. Is it because Google linked ratings to G+ account? Anyone else notice the same thing?
Yeah, I think that's the case.
Personally I stopped rating after that change because I don't feel like joining G+, haven't done it since it launched, so I think it's a bit of a **** move by google to force people to join it like this :/

Post here when you're done, and I'll send you an code to unlock the trial version so it never expires.
Yup, this is a ploy by google to try and drag people in. They think that if they get you to sign up for g+ so you can rate apps, that eventually you'll start using g+ for other things. And the more you use their services, the more they learn about you and the more chances they get to show you ads. In case anybody forgot, google is an advertising company whose sole purpose is to make money.
Oh well , i don't care much :d my profile is empty anyway and im not an international fugitive to hide my name
Also interesting app, will be back with thoughts on it and an appropriate rating and comment don't worie im not a 1 star guy if i see something that i don't like :d
Its only because Google is now forcing people to join G+ in order to rate apps and games otherwise people would be more than happy to rate it as they download. I don't see the point of G+ anyway, its nothing that special in the first place.
hmm i actually like it a lot 5+

It's a shame you're not getting the reviews you should. Google really ought to encourage reviewers, rather than making them jump through hoops to post reviews. The market is already pretty well stacked against the little guy, and discouraging reviewers will only make that worse. Hopefully as users grudgingly accept the G+ nonsense, you'll see more reviews coming in.
Ranting aside, your keyboard is great (and yes, I reviewed it as such--I'm not going to fuss about Google wrecking things and then leave you high and dry ). I had been wishing for an off-center space bar that I could actually hit when typing with both thumbs, and pairing it with autocorrect that doesn't make me furious makes for an awesome keyboard.

Stopped rating because I was being forced to use G+.
I tried using your keyboard, but it keeps force closing on me. Got 3 fc's just while doing a review of it in the play store. It looks like a great keyboard, and I absolutely love all the customization available for it. I'm running a 4.2.1 rom on my ns4g. I imagine my 4.2.1 is what's causing the issue here.

Its The G+ thing.
I think Google is doing something great.
In the past four years there has been a growing trend of being rude on comments and reviews.
These "haters" have become such a problem because almost every youtube videos has someone talking crap and its starting to spread to play.
The comment section on youtube is so disgusting and people are getting so bad that they just click videos to start negativity.( for example: click a lil wayne new video and trolling saying he sucks **** and so on).
But Google needs to capitalize while making money. How?
Use G+ accounts that show full names and pictures. Youtube is still an option right now to use it but Google is giving you the option for now before they give you no option. And now youtube cleans up and G+ gets more subscribers. Now play is not bad but because these people are out there they can stop before it grows.
Alot of 1 star ratings hurts devs because people shout "virus" or "this is stupid, dont waste your time, doesnt work" when they can't read the clear instructions and want computers to do everything for them. Little 11 year old johnny will think twice before saying an app "suck *********" when his picture will be next to his words and his parents use play for apps.
WIN...WIN situation.
I decided to check out the keyboard, and I love it btw 5 ★. On topic, it's all about G+. Google gets more users, in hopes that some will actually start using G+. And as already said, they'll clean Play up comment wise because it's getting like YouTube already is.

In the last couple of days I've been getting review again (some were from this thread, thank you!). I don't know if it was a technical glitch during the changeover, or because people are getting used to the new format. People can still rate anonymously if they don't leave a comment.
To be honest, I also think the G+ thing is a good idea... in principle. I was just a little freaked when the reviews dried up. I will use it to thank users that like my app, and reach out to those that don't.

Let's get Google to clean up the Play Store

I just posted this over on r/Android, and I felt XDA would be a good place to put it as well. Recently, there have been a few apps that have been reported to Reddit so that we could get massive reports sent to Google and have the apps and developers removed. However, I felt this way would be a little more efficient. Please feel free to check out the comments over on that post as well as these, although I'm sure they will be roughly the same.
I'd include the link to the post on Reddit, but I haven't made enough posts on XDA to be allowed to include external links. Simply search 'Clean Up' in r/Android and click 'Sort By' > New, and it should pop up. Thanks for your time everyone, and I look forward to seeing whether this can be a success.
We are all aware that the Play Store sucks. Especially over the past couple of days. People are taking proactive steps to clean it up, but sooner or later, we are going to get sick of seeing these PSAs announcing all of the crap Devs. To counter this problem of constant posting to r/Android, I've created [email protected], as well as a Google Spreadsheet (check r/Android for links, I haven't posted enough here to include external links) to keep track of all of these apps that you guys help report for abusing the rules of the less knowledgable.
I'm sure a majority of you are more than easily capable of spotting these bad apps, but following are a few types of apps in particular that really irk me:
+Improve your WiFi!
+Fake or copy games like we've seen the last couple of days here
+All those blasted Gangnam Style photo booth and other knock-off type apps
+Emulators that are just absolutely and completely riddled with ads and are therefore unusable
+WiFi 'hackers'
+Jumping Boobs / Ass / other sex apps (c'mon guys, it's called pornhub or xvideos)
+Cell phone signal boosters
+Etc, etc... I'm sure you all know which apps to report here
So, if you guys think this is a good idea, please help everyone out by contributing the bad apps you find to [email protected] in the following format:
Developer Name:
Application Name:
Link to Application on Play Store:
Reason for Flagging ( Sexual content , Graphic violence, Hateful or abusive content, Harmful to device or data, Other objection):
If other, why?:
Every Saturday, I'll report back here with the spreadsheet, or you can just report them if you get board throughout the week, either way will work. I think this is a useful alternative to a separate subreddit, as I think creating would simply result in the same fate as many other 'sub'subreddits do.
I think this can be a really cool way to show Google how moderating their product can improve its quality, even if just ever so slightly. Let the moderation begin.
Sounds like a great idea. Looking forward to the growth of this.

That's all I have to say about your insult...
Unbelievable...

All that dude does is go around posting pointless insults. And not in the "search first, noob" kind of way, but rather in the "I don't get enough attention and have to take out my lack of self esteem on internet forums" kind of way.
Best way to deal with people (and I use the term loosely) like that is to completely ignore them. Nothing pisses of someone trying to seem important or insulting than completely disregarding what they're saying. You can't reason with ignorance. But you can piss it off by ignoring it.

Actually some of these "gimmicky" features, as some people refer to them, need highlighted. So, thanks OP--:0
And yes a few here take every opportunity to bash someone, they are on every Forum I have been on from day one. Just best not to respond. Playing Devil's advocate though, I do sometimes respond to those who want the step by step answer with no research on their own. Main reason I don't like that is that they are doing themselves a disservice by not learning the how and why things are done the way they are in flashing roms. It will come back to haunt them.
I actually use a number of these features and they work very well. Except :eye" scrolling. Hopefully that will be improved and hope app devs and Goolge allow more programs to use these features.
There are too many negative comments on these features here and in reviews along with the screen issue to cause people to hesitate buying this phone. So, these goodies need highlighted in these threads from time to time. It is absolutely a fantastic phone. Functional and Fun at the same time--
Best I have ever owned. Not that I didn't love my Nexus One and HTC One S, but technology just keeps producing better products. And 5 inch is perfect screen size for me.
I agree, good post. I have been trying to figure out how to use air view but it just won't work for me (tried it on the gallery). What other apps work with it?

I personally found this thread useful. I didn't know that airview worked with flipboard. Pretty cool!

Just noticed that Flipboard uses the Air View option, in the home screen you can hover all over the topics and it gives you a preview of the articles, for me it's very cool, nice to see Samsung's features available on Third Parties apps.

It will work on Flip Board and Stock Calendar. Do you have it selected in Options?
Can't recall what others atm
EDIT: Oh, works on speed dial--hover over number and contact comes up. don't have to memorize my speed dials now--
Also, by accident had it work on Music Player. If you hover over the lower Next and Previous symbols it will tell you next/previous song. These are when Music player is full screen with Album Art.
