Recommanded apps/Must have applications

I made this thread, so that you could recommanded aps that works with your x10. Etc apps that you frequently use and so on.
I hAven't gotten mine yet, but I will probably get the same main apps as I had on the magic.
1. Gulesider( a Norwegian app, a really nice app. A easy way to find phone numbers etc. It does also show the name of the person that is calling you)
2.advanced task manager( allows you to shut down some of the apps running on your device)
3. AndFtp ( a FTP app)
4. Glance( file manager)
5. Pure calendar(a good looking calendar widget for your android phone, there is a theme for it that is transparent. Love this widget tbh)
6. Spotify
7. Yr.no (a weather widget)
8. NRK radio
9. OI File Manager/OI Notepad
10. TV Guide
11. Science facts
feel free to share some of the android Apps that you like.

Im using same apps as on the legend and hero.. Good habits are hard to change:
gulesider and yr ofcourse.
Estrong Taskmanager (my choise of taskmanager)
Estrong File Explorer
Dolphin Browser (really great browser for android)
Zedge Ringetones & wallpapers (Great selection, and ofcourse, since they're norwegian)
Weather Widgets (yr.no) - Copies the HTC flip clock (Which I love !)
Battery Graph - nothing like analyzing that battery drain!

SuperDial for faster contacts lookup.

i am using:
takephone (smartdial app)
gblocker (call filter app)

first of all, it is called Spotify
and yes it does exist for the android platform
And I would say that it works better than the one for the iPhone. I can't really say anything about the symbian version, since I have never had a symbian phone. And probably will never have, since I do not like that OS....

So, here's my list:
Advanced Task Killer
Battery Time Lite
Spotify - Rocks
Reader widget - Excellent for my google reader-feeds
Scoreboard - Football scores
Calwidget - Nice widget for my calendar
Handcent SMS - Brilliant SMS app
aTAKEphone - Nice phone/dialer-ap
YR.no widget - Weather widget
mVideoPlayer - Handy video player
ASTRO - Excellent file browser
FlashLightApp - widget using camera light
Apps Organizer - Quite useful with widgets for labels
Barcode Scanner - Scann app-barcodes
FotMob - Excellent football-app
FxCamera - Fun camera app
GPS Logger - Logs your GPS-position to file - can be used to geotag your SLR-shots for example
Gule Sider - norwegian national phone book
Locale - Auto-change settings based on location
PdaNet - Tether
StopWatch - you got it
TV Guide - Norwegian tv guide
Zedge - wallpapers and ring tones

bloo - facebook application that actually gives you notifications on useful things like comments on posts. The official android facebook app cannot do this.

I've got a new one to add:
NewsRoom
A wonderful take on the typical RSS reader, this app allows access to RSS feeds as preview pages, which you can flip through and select for full articles. Much more complete and interactive than a typical text-list layout of most RSS readers.

Weather Widget ( now called Weather & Toggle)- HTC Clock/weather widget and system toggle widgets. Is also skinable.
Weather Widget Weather addon- Adds a weather forcast when you tap on the weathr icon on the clock.
Handcent- Best SMS app
Astro- Awesome File explorer AND taskkiller ( many don't know that it has a great task killer included)
FlashLightApp- A one button on/off widget to turn our camra light on or off.
GPRS Monitor- Monitors data usage
Pure Grid Calander- Mimics the HTC calander widget
Sportstap- Best sports updates, scores, news, even notifications.
OperaMini5- Web Browser
Aldiko- Ebook reader
WiFinder- WiFi finder
HelixLauncher- A home replacment option that offers customixable Home options. have up to 7 screens, adds 4 "buttons" to the app drawer slider on the home screen, double tap home screen to see min versions of all other screens. This is the best Home option out there.
HTC_IME-hi keryboard- My favorite Keyboard by far.
Swype- Yes, I'm jumping on the Swype bandwagon and trying it out. Takes a bit to get used to but is a very smart keyboard for predctions. Rarley gets my input wrong and is faser then tapping. I'm still on the fence about using it full time as my text input.

I'm now adding swype too.... its possibly the cleverest and definitely most innovative app ive seen on a phone in some time.

I started off with SlideIT and have been using Swype for a few days now..
It's definitely a much nicer looking UI... but I reckon that SlideIT is actually more acurate, quicker and easier to manage??....

SyncMyPix - a pretty good app to add the picture from your facebookcontacts to your phone contacts!

I found that weather and toggle seemed to be sucking juice out of my battery... what's your battery life like?

You most likely have the app checking for weather updates too often, set it to something like 6 hours (how quick does weather really change).

Awesome sir .

Great clock, but after latest update doesn't work correctly.
When I set an alarm I can see the icon in the notification area and the next alarm time in the app and on the widget, but if I turn screen off and unlock the device there is no next alarm time on the widget or in the app, also the icon in the notification area is gone. I can only see the alarm if I go to the app and select alarms.
I tried setting an alarm using another alarm app and that worked. It showed next alarm on the widget and in the app (clock JB+), also the icon in the notification area.
The widget also stopped updating the time a few times..
I love the look of the app and bought the +-version after 5 minutes of testing the free one, but can't use it before these bugs are fixed. Please fix them ASAP.
Samsung Galaxy S III with JB 4.1.1
Edit: Nevermind, found the culprit. Green Power's wifi management was somehow messing with the clock...

nice clock

thanks awesome!
i was searching 4.2 clock for gb :good:

JB+ Alarm settings don't stick on Sprint SGS3. Alarm keeps kicking off with both the notification icon and the clock widget indicator disappearing. However in settings panel it still shows the alarm as active, and toggling on/off /on brings back the proper display - untill something else takes focus. Disabling the JB+ alarm and then setting a stock "Touchwiz" alarm is a work around for now.
All things considered I still love this clock, and hope this gets resolved in a future release.
Edit: NVM - I cleared cache and dalvic cache, fixed permissions, and then froze all touchwiz clocks. After a reboot now this clock's alarm appears to work perfectly. Color me a completely happy camper.

Hi there !
I encounter the same issue where the alarm icon disapears from the notification/status bar and alarm indication disappears from the widget clock on my non-rooted stock Orange Galaxy Note 2.
It seems Mutepoint has found a way to reestablish proper functionning however I wonder how I can clear the cache, clear the dalvic cache and fix the permissions.
Could you help please ?
Thank you very much !

Do you think it would be possible to mod Clock JB+ to add math solving to turn off/snooze? That would be awesome.

My phone is rooted so I used Titanium Backup to "freeze" all the TouchWiz clocks. I clear cache, dalvic cache, and fix permissions using TWRP custom recovery. Bye the way the clock has been working flawlessly since I did these things last week... not a single alarm failure or glitch at all.

@Mobileillusion, Like the newer DeskClock on JB, is it possible to give an option to:
a) shake/snooze to dismiss an alarm
b) hide the alarm icon.
Thanks for this app

Good job, works very well, thanks

Thanks @Mobileillusion for making a great app! But I have a problem, I have CyanogenMod 7.2 on Galaxy Mini S5570L, and installed the application, but when I want to put the widget on my desktop, I can not see the Clock JB widget in the list of widgets ... What I can do?Thanks!

Have you installed the app on the SD card? I think by default app is installed on phone but I don't know if CyanogenMod 7.2 has some tweak to change this. Thank you for asking!

Yeah, That was it. I configured the parameter pmInstallLocation to install all applications on the external card, so I installed it on the internal memory and then the widget appeared, thank you!

Request for next update, if possible:
- Allow custom color option for the widget texts (let the user choose the color that he wants from the color picker)
- Allow custom opacity/transparency option for the widget texts(let the user make his text more transparent or opaque)
- Add text shadow options for the widget texts (if the user has white text and bright background this will be very helpful)
I really want to make my widget black and a bit transparent. If you cannot do this then it's ok and thanks anyway.

[Q] Detailed lockscreen notifitcations

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to have the Dashclock widget (or something similar) on the lockscreen with details visible while still having the unlock icon ready to unlock the device. I'll elaborate a little just in case the previous doesn't make much sense...
So I'm currently running CM 11 on my N5 and under Settings>Lock screen there's an option called "Maximize widgets" which expands your lockscreen widgets but minimizes your unlock icon. Since the icon is minimized, you need to tap on it to bring it back up (while simultaneously minimizing Dashclock for example), then tap again and drag to unlock your phone. Is there any ROM, application, or maybe Xposed Installer module that allows lockscreen widgets to remain maximized while keeping the unlock icon from requiring two steps?
note: I'm currently using the quick launch shortcuts with one of them set as my Google Now Launcher but that returns me to my home screen every time I unlock my phone..

Check out lockerpro or sliderlock app... Same Dev... Or a ROM that has built in lock screen notifications (which almost do)... Another alternative would be active display within Roms or maybe acdisplay app

Personalize locksreen

Hi,
Is there any way to personalize the lockscreen (withou installing a new lockscreen app)?
I'm having issues with the meteorology app, beacuse it is always requesting GPS.
Or is there a way to stop the meteorology app from using GPS and just use a city choose by me?
I don't want it accessing the GPS all the time. I've already took it away from the homescreen but I haven't found a way to take it from the lockscreen.

Question 1, no not without installing another launcher. The icons on the LockScreen are the ones on the Dock.
Question 2, I would check in the Meterology App Settings, something along the lines of Location, Default home or something like that. Hard to tell when no one knows exactly which app you are referring to. Most likely look in Settings.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer and sorry for not being explicit.
I was talking about the weather app that comes with the phone.
If I add a new widget from that app to the homescreen I can choose a specific city but the widget on the lockscreen keeps updating using GPS.
If i use another weather app on the homescreen, the one on the lockscreen will not change and it will still be the one that came with the phone.

Basically the same applies. Go into Weather app, Menu(3 dots), Settings and unclick Auto detect my location.

It was the first thing I did!
