[Guest dodge-167]

So, after installing every ROM on this forum i decided to put my first 10 apps that i must have on my Pulse...

1. Shazam

2. Opera Mini 5 Beta

3. Weather Widget Donate

4. Doodle Jump :(

5. Wallpaper Plus

6. LauncherPro

7. Better Cut

8. Facebook

9. Dailer One

10. TasKiller

So, what are yours 10 must have apps???

[Guest Stevos]

Some different ones:

1) Dropbox

2) ChompSMS

3) WaveSecure (especially if you got a free early adopter account...)

4) beebplayer

5) Layar

6) Skymap (for showing off to featurephone owners. when I last showed this to someone down the pub it was about 20 mins before I got it back)

7) Dolphin Browser

8) Google Maps / Navigation + Maverick (cached map tiles...)

9) Barnacle WIFI tether (currently trialling - looks good)

10) shootme (screen capture)

Titanium backup - MUST HAVE

NewsRob - Google reader RSS app

LastPass - Needs a premium account after trial but is a great extension to using lastpass to keep account of all your logins.

EStrong file manager - IMO the best file manager

SetCPU - Great for enhancing phone performance.

LAUNCHERPRO - Best home app

Beautiful Widgets - great when I was on 1.5 for the switch widgets now I use only the clock.

Pure widget apps - calendar agenda and music widgets are all good.

Not ten but i keep my apps to a minimum I don't really use the widget apps now either.

One app that sounds great is a Bluetooth app that allows you to use a Wii remote to control things like emulators.

[Guest darkdevil1]

I loved Opera Mini on 1,5 but it doesn't seem to work for me on 2.1

Known issue?

[Guest brack]

ok, those I had on 1.5 and install them first to use on 2.1:

-Opera Mini

-Autokiller

-SetCPU

-Timeriffic

-Cardio Trainer - I lost 18kg from February

-FBReader

-CadreBible

-Astrid - dont think there is any better task manager, I tried a few

-Titanium Backup - for backup of apps with data

-Sprite Backup - for scheduled backup of contacts and messages

And I would add a few more, but if we are talking about 10 ...

Very strange, I recovered it by Titanium backup with data and it works perfect. Maybe try it from scratch?

and the last ROM I recently lost and cannot replace - AndroTris :(

It changed its name to "bitblocks", and was subsequently removed from the market due to claims by Tetris LLC. Googling may turn up an APK...

[Guest twrock]

Having migrated from a Palm PDA, my list leans toward PIM apps.

Swype (how did I ever get by without this?)

Calendar Pad (and still the Android Calendar API is terrible)

Calendar Add Event

Smooth Calendar Widget

DigiClock Widget

Alarms (Palmarysoft)

Curvefish collection of toggle widgets (esp. Wifi, Bluetooth, Synchronise, Ringer, 3G/2G)

iSilo (I brought over a lot of reference material from my Palm, and their iSiloX document creator is fantastic; I found nothing that comes close to iSilo for usability)

Hanping CE dictionary (Chinese-English-Chinese)

MixZing music player

(And I will cheat and mention that Robo Defense is way too much fun!)
