Guest jimjar Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 As well as many of those mentioned above, I've installed: - Layar (augmented reality platform with some nice apps) - TED Mobile (for TED talks) - beebplayer (for *limited* bbc iPlayer - not in the market any more but google for 'beebplayer.apk' to find it "out there") - yxplayer (will play divx/xvid encoded files, but costs a tenner) - Ringdroid (great ringtone creator - simply select snippets of your MP3s to 'loop' as a ringtone) However, can't seem to find a free Flickr uploader that works (all the ones I've tried crash on upload attempt). Having similar problem uploading to Audioboo with their app. Anyone managed either okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about Yxplayer...RockPlayerBase works great on the streak for divx movies I grabbed it from a megaupload link in the xda forum the other day PM me if you want the link.

Was watching 'enders in a hotel the other night through that fine, plus it's free. Ringdroid is excellent. Considering the faff of getting your own tones on an iPhone, the speed and simplicity of this reminded me why I switched to Android. Are there any alternatives to yxplayer? This RockPlayerBase - is it a freeby? Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dogmann55 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi all Yes Rock Player is excellent plays nice and smooth with great audio to can't wait for a full version to release as now no more need converting my DivX Avi videos and they take up to about half the space of MP4's also there is now a Beta 1 release of it to.

Guest m4tt24 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 My top 5 so far (still trying out loads out so may change) Swype Ideal for texting, very easy to use, by far the most used app for me so far. Saymyname dessert When the phone rings tells you who's ringing (speech app) Myplayer BBC tv (works by far the best via wifi) Google Sky Map Good fun especially pointing it at the ground and realising the earth really is round Lookout Anti virus, backs up your data and also a tracking device in one. Then there's also barcode scanner, call me, paintpro(for the children when were out and need them to be quiet) realplayer, Trapster list is really quite long when i start to think about some of the apps i have.

Guest redbishop Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I've been loving the idea of the streak for ages, and loving my very own since Saturday. I call him Frank and, so far, he and I are getting on swell. I am new to android having moved from Blackberry and previously Win Mob. Learning a new OS is fiendishly fun. If you have the time to help me narrow down the market place, can you recommend your top 5 apps that you would recommend for the streak - free or paid - and a brief description. So far have: Advanced Task Manager Astro Antibody - this is a fun and original game btw! appInstaller Barcode Scanner Docs to go Goggles Google maps,sky, mail, phonemypc shazam trapster Interested in all and any recommendations. cheers from me and Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrgdavies Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Anyone know of a widget which can toggle between GSM ans WCDMA on the homescreen? As far as I'm aware that's not possible, but please correct me if I'm wrong, the best you can do is download anycut and set a shortcut the network settings.

Guest hobochangba Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Scummvm is really good on the streak. Best device I've played it on.

Guest Adrian IS Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 hello Can anyone recommend a good dialler app? ... one that when i start typing it also give me suggestions from my phonebook? I tried a few but they have small keys. And off topic: How come even after i set the screen timeout to 10min it switches back to 30sec every time after the first manual or automatic screen timeout which happens after 10 min. Very painful when i try to read something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dogmann55 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi all, Well it's just over 3 weeks that I have now had my Streak and since I've gone from a stock Rom to Rooted to now running my first Custom Rom cooked in the kitchen so i thought an update to the apps i have installed and am running seemed like a good idea having done this i can't believe how many i now have. Astro File Manager: can be used to install apps that come as apk's as opposed to from the market Barcode Scanner: easy way to install apps form QR codes or just reading Bar codes 3G Watchdog: Monitors your data use over 3G you can set your allowance and it will monitor and alert you Live Calender: Will bring up upcoming Appointments on your Home screen F1 Pocket 2010: all you need to stay up to date with F1 Moto GP Pocket 2010: all you need to stay up to date with Moto GP iSyncr for PC: Easy transfer and sync of iTunes to your Streak Google Sky Map: Map of the Stars and Planets Engadget: Widget with scrolling updates SystemPanelLite Task Manager:Shows your CPU and Memory use myPlayer: BBC iPlayer ShootMe: Screen Shots for Rooted devices Speedtest.net Speed Test Rock Player: Plays DivX Avi and many other formats in great quality. Co Pilot Live: Sat Nav with POI'S and Speed Cameras Gentle Alarm: Great Multiple Alarm app with some unique nice features Seven Push E-Mail: Real time Push E-Mail with full folder support Cloud List:Great: shopping or other list app also on line lists that can be shared with others Tapatalk Pro: handy tool for posting on Forums TVCatchup Mobile Live TV Streaming with lots of UK channels Fring: Skype and IM chat app includes Skype Video chat Superuser Permissions: allows rooted apps permission Boot Explorer: File explorer and more for Rooted devices Root Booter: Easy Normal, Recovery or Bootloader Reboot options Boot Manager: Control over various options and apps on your device Swype: simply the best keyboard and typing experience ever IMHO Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest courtlandre Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Swype: simply the best keyboard and typing experience ever IMHO Marc Until we can use multitouch keyboards! I like swype, but my finger tends to drag along the screen... I really need a matte screen protector! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
