I am a phone junkie and have owned just about every type of phone there is and out of all of them WM Smartphones seem to have BY FAR the least amount of free apps available.
Am I just looking in the wrong places or are there really hardly any free apps for smartphones?
www.google.com would be a nice place to start.

Somebody thinks they are funny eh?
So the fact that you don't list even one good site for apps tells me you don't know of any good sites either. I guess I was right and there simply aren't that many.

Yes, I am familiar with Google.
What sites are good?
Most sites have a few Really crappy free apps mixed in with all the pay apps. Or worse yet have a few free WM Smartphone apps mixed in with all the free PPC apps.
try coolsmartphone.com

Great, I'll try that thanks.
i know this has been said before, but search google.
stop being lazy and start using the search engine you will probably find a lot more by inputting the right "search string"
you will probably get more of an answer from that rather from this forum because most of these users are just laughing at you.

Are you for real?
You bump a many months old thread just to say: search Google?
Do you seriously think that was not the FIRST thing I did?
Also all the other months old responses were saying: search Google, so how did you think you adding: search Google was going to be helpful?
Anyways it doesn't matter I have upgraded to a new phone 3 times since this thread.
But I still stand by what I said: Comparitively there really aren't that many free apps for WM Standard,
http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/
I checked the first 3 pages of the forums and didn't see this posted.
Here are some upcoming home replacements for Android. One name that should be familiar to us old WinMo users and a "newcomer."
http://www.tat.se/home/
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pre...gs-support-for-symbian-and-android-along.html
they both look pretty cool but I think tathome looks like it might be a little more to my liking.
SPB isnt out yet, is tathome available yet, i didnt see a download.
+1 for TAT home it looks like it could be NICE I checked out the video (good music and all ;-)) here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/tat-home-the-gesture-powered-3d-home-screen-your-android-device/
I used SPB Mobile Shell 3.x with my Touch Pro and I wasn't too impressed.
*** EDIT ***
Here is a video of Mobile Shell http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/mwc-video-spb-mobile-shell-50-on-android IMO Mobile Shell is suffering from what it always has LAG!!!!! Even on the N1 it looked slow, maybe because it's BETA.

I don't think it's out yet either. You can sign up for the preview here http://www.tat.se/home/ They said that "more information" will be sent later.

Looks cool! I signed up for the TAT preview.
Hrm, TatHome looks like what I envisioned Android 'should be' , I'm liking the look it quite a bit!! Next: to find out whether it really runs that smoothly on my Hero. 3d and graphics are great, but if it slows my phone down in the slightest its automatically going to get turned off.

cant imagine that it would slow it down anymore than sense but time will tell
muahaha, smooth as an iph*ne, and yet still kicking the pants off of it in terms of functionality = complete win for Android.
See, this is why Android is better, and why most everyone here bought an Android phone Since mostly everyone here probably signed up for that preview, the first person that gets the .apk for this, can you please post it up here incase they delay the preview to some people?

+1 on this but at the same time this is why some dont want to develop for android
Why would it make them not want to develop for it? Because some devices have different specs? I'm just curious.

Yes there are a lot of different spec'd Android phones out there but I think he is referencing the fact that Android apps are easier to "warez" than the apps on other OS's. All you have to do is sign up for the paid app extract the .apk post it somewhere. Also any dev can try to "reverse engineer" the app, change a few components and BAM it's on the Market as their "original" creation. Just my .2 cents

that is correct. when swype was first leaked I was actually talking to them about the bennifits of releasing it through the market instead of through manufacturers and one of the biggest concerns that was brought up was the fact that security for apps is too lax. now dont get me wrong everyone knows that for every security mesure there is always a way around it but android security just sucks thats why for the most part people afften have a free version and a donate version. if people can try it and like it then they are more likely to buy it rather than just pirate it. setcpu is a perfect example of this. sure the dev could have made it a protected app (but being a member here at xda he probably knew it was pointless) but he offers it free here and then if you like you can buy from the market to donate to help keep him developing.
so basically all im saying is...ok we all (me included) have pirated apps but if you like the app make sure to go buy it from the market and help keep these people developing for us.
I know I went off on a rant there but without intrest in app development this great platform will fail.
I might be the only here without pirated apps then haha. I did have CoPilot once, but I didn't like it much so I got rid of it. The only time I ever use something pirated is to try it. If I like it and feel the developer should get credit, then fine, I'll donate/buy it.

same here the only thing I am using pirated right now is swype but thats only becuase there is no way to buy it. but thats also because im a cheap ass and maily use free apps unless I really find something useful but to date the only things that I have bought are setcpu and beautiful widgets. im trying cachemate now but it really doesnt seem to be very helpful. I wish I knew a little more about programing there is an app for the iphone that I would love to have on my hero.
i played around with "pandahome" some yesterday. it seems beta right now but they are apparently coming out with pandahome2 soon. it's a good idea, just not quite finished yet. (fc's and whatnot)
anyway you might go check it out (if your feeling froggy).
lots of options and skins ect.ect.ect.
marketplace. free.
Hi,
I've been looking for software that will monitor and report on usage for calls, smses and data, on which reports can be done, as well as be able to customize the tarriffs for the contract plan I'm on.
I found LCMinutes, but its not what i'm looking for. Does anyone have other ideas?
Thanks
Hi, I'm also trying to found some useful monitoring software as I don't really thrust my mobile network provider). The following information will make me happy (especially when found in a nice, black, very clean, very simple, htc-hd2 kind of look ):
Monthly amount of call minutes in and out
Option to make a call out that is less than a minute to count as a whole minute
Monthly data in and out
Hope someone knows of such program. If I had the skills.. I would have made it myself.
Regards,
Nils

Thanks for your response! However, that program, isn't that a bit of an overkill?

SPB monitor will help with data in and out, but it is not free, you can trial in for 15 days I think http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/wirelessmonitor/
Not sure about the first 2, got to say I was shocked it doesnt show more on usage in WinMo.

I totally agree! i even had a look on SPB, but their closest was SPB Wireless - not much help with what I'm looking for... PhoneAlarm looks like it could be very good, but i have to agree and say its somewhat overkill in what it does have... With the WinMo 6.5 interface on HD2, if it could plugin as a tab? all the better, but then i would have liked it to be able to do general reporting from the tab as well...
Am i asking too much here? I spose pedanticism has its limitations...
Is there by any accident someone here who would be able to create something like this in notime?

Thats very nice, or would be if it could be created.
I found there is 'some' usage info in HD2, under Software information of all places.
+ 1 too

Thanks, there is indeed some information there, though it is the total amount of usage. I would like to see some monthly data (generated from the monthly start day put in by the user, preferably your bill date of course).
LSMinutes gets close, but is too complex and too bad looking (no offence to the creator here, you're free to use my template ).
Other programs like homescreen++ seem to be an even greater overkill, or is it just me that thinks so?
If anyone would like to use the template that I created earlier in this topic, I could deliver *.PNGs or whatever..

Nils

Too bad there doesn't seem to be a scripter that thinks the same
nobody willing to give this a bash? I'm using SPB Wireless, and its good, to a degree, but its only monitors data connections on the phone, and.... well, i was hoping a dev out there could get a working app to watch it all
Hey guys i found this awesome app for iphone but i was wondering if anyone would be able to make it work for the HD2?
heres a link to the iphone app
http://www.southfreo.com/iiquota/Home.html
if you guys can help me out with this it will be really appreciated! its a very useful app btw
Maybe You better get a crappy iPhone since You don´t see that the entire HD2 is such an app but much better ?
Too lazy to search in this forum to find out that all this exists ?

Hey guys,
So I just wanted to ask if anyone knew a good FREE screen recorder for my android smarthphone...
Hey
Screencast is a great one. Although it is paid there is a free version. I will never condone pirating but you could get a copy of the paid apk online and try it out. Please then support the developers. It is really easy to use.
There is also zrecorder which is a good free one. I do not have experience with that app though.
Why not just try the free one before you decide whether or not to pay for it.it's a good app, works lovely and isn't that expensive

Because the free one is the limited version. It does not enable the full experience. Users/buyers may be put off by this. So instead try the full version, is what I was saying. This 'try the full one as a demo' mentality was the feature that basically sold the onlive platform a while back.
Well put baddaman54
Yes screencast is a great app
ScreenCast is the best android app I've ever used

I know this thread is kind of old, but I figured I'd post because I'm still using an old phone.
The LG Connect running on Gingerbread.
I use this to upload gameplay footage to YouTube, and so far it seems to be working great.
