Guest womble_sanfran Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Calendar Pad (Free and Pro) - Calendar with best monthview Pro version is customizable with other colours.

Guest IronDoc Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 No mate, actually looking for something that acts as a voicemail. Here in my country, no operators provide visual voicemail and the traditional voicemail is not user friendly at all. So looking for something that will answer my calls based on conditions, play a recorded message and record the caller's response and save it. Hullomail? Anyone know of a nice minimalist email widget? Preferably compatible with Seven and configurable font colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Soup Thief Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I really like the LAN features on EStrongs File Explorer which let me browse and download files wirelessly from my PC to my phone - kinda means I never need to plug it into the computer anymore or mount the SD card, which is gonna save wear and tear on the micro USB connector. I only plug it in to get electricity out of the wall - if anyone has an app to fix this, please PM me :lol: Hell of a lot easier to shift files around, and free too Reciprocally, I've been using SwiFTP to wirelessly squirt things from my PC to the phone Add ons for Astro do the same but for some reason I found it a bit harder to configure correctly (my shortcomings, rather than Astro's, I'm sure) Currency Convertor is extremely helpful if you travel quite a bit - best currency app I've used, and free (I've tried lots) RealCalc is my fave caluclator As mentioned earlier, Tasker's brill for making things happen a bit more easily, eg I plug in my headphones and the radio plays my fave station straight away etc (other people manage much more interesting things, eg automatically texting the wife to put the kettle on whenever you're within 10 minutes of home on a workday between 6 and 8pm...) These apps maybe a bit geeky, but I've embraced my inner nerd :) RD3 is a great drum sequencer to noodle with GTunes music is a smashing little app, though it's a bit dodgy ethically Would really like to see an Android port of the iPhone Jamie Oliver app, which has recipes, but also has a shopping list app and allows you to tick off what you have already. Out of Milk is kind of useful but doesn't have the recipes bit EDIT: someone asked about Titanium Backup - free vs paid versions. Free works, but if you need to restore / backup more than a couple of dozen apps it tends to hang unpredictably. The paid version is smooth as custard and hasn't fallen over yet, even when I ask it to bulk restore / backup a couple of hundred items at once. Also when restoring, while the free version makes you re-approve the permissions for each app, the paid version figures that you'd approved em once and so doesn't ask you to approve them the second time, which saves hours of sitting there staring at the screen and clicking accept for each app. A fiver or so is a bargain in terms of the time saved Edited January 26, 2011 by The Soup Thief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 is someone know a video recorder for the phone ? i mean like a screen shot app reccord all what is displayed in the phone should be very useful for guides instead of film the phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this - Android screencast As I understand it, it enables you to control things on the phone via mouse and keyboard on the PC desktop It doesn't seem to record itself, but presumably a standard PC video capture program could achieve this Not able to test it myself at the moment, but would be very interested to hear if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest T3KO Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 This is a good thread!

Just need to come up with some video codec flipper at the PC end perhaps? I guess this probably has something to do with the Blade's screen being upside down in the first place then flipped by software Sebastian404 has recently modded Clockwork to invert the display - might be worth asking him how he did this in order to flip it again / unflip it at the phone end This might revolutionise the howto videos though, provided it's possible to overlay your voice with the video Edited January 26, 2011 by The Soup Thief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest daisyhayseed Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 The Soup Thief, are you still looking for a good recipe app? Try Epicurious, its very glossy and easy to use. It also has the shopping list functionality you were referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Soup Thief Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 video file is in .mov format except the screen orientation it's perfect Was just thinking about it - inverting the video would probably not help the demonstrator, who would still have to carry out the operations upside down It would just help the person watching to understand what was happening I'm busy this evening, bu tyou might want to pass this on to Steven Harper, who does a lot of demonstrations Great idea you had though!

Guest pellonet Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) ICE-In case of emergency Paramedics, Police, Fire services are aware of the ICE system & will look for data on personal devices in the case of an emergency. This app is on the Market & will allow the storing of medical & contact data etc. It also has a widget for both Home screen & Lock Screen. A very Practical app!

Guest richardtkemp Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I second Calendar Pad, the day view and month view are great, and also make for great widgets. You really don't gain much for going pro though. As mentioned, it's basically just changing the colours, which aren't so bad to start with. You don't even get full colour control, as I was disappointed to find out when I tried to make the background transparent so the events text would display straight over my background.

Guest UbaRolfey Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 LaucherPro has this option, i use it. ADW has it as an add-on too. I would like to draw your attention to Button Savior. On-screen buttons for Home, Menu, Back and Power-On/Off. Essential for the Blade with it's fiddly buttons. I put it on the right upper size and it is always active in every app, does not bother at all. Also PowerStrip is brilliant, you can multi-task very quick, you can put widgets and shortcuts and access them from every app without leaving the app. Thanks for your reply, I know it has that functionality, but not for Exchange mail, it will work for Gmail and the likes, but not corporate email.

I just had a play with this. Seems great. Didn't realise you couldd use the phone normally and it would record the screen. Assumed you had to control w the mouse (and that you'd need to drive the mouse upside down) Rotating the video is easy enough - easier if you convert it to .avi first, then I think windows movie maker will rotate it Edited January 27, 2011 by The Soup Thief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BunnyPunch Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 RE: RSS reader - I use Scrollable News in conjunction with Launcher Pro (you need a launcher that allows scrollable widgets). Strictly speaking it's a widget not an RSS reader, but I'm a nut for transparent, minimal plain text widgets for my home screens and Scrollable News does exactly that. Not only that, you can tell it to use instapaper and call up a stripped out version of the page when you select a news item, which is great for conserving data usage and readability on the move. Speaking of Instapaper, Everpaper is a good client for it - it syncs with your Instapaper account and you can send articles to Evernote too, if you so choose. Apps I've paid for: Launcher Pro Titanium SwitchPro - again with the transparent widgets, the ability to customise the power toggles is great too. Clockr Evolution - the paid for version of Clockr - it was before I found the previously mentioned Minimalistic Text Pure Calendar - transparency again. Lovely widget for use with Google Calendar and Astrid - the default widgets are horrible. Fruit Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
