Everyone has an application they can't live without, right? Well, considering this forum is growing, and new, it'd be a great idea if you guys posted a link and description for any app you like. If everyone posts some apps, it'll be easier to find the applications to make this perfect phone, even perfectorerer!(I know that isn't a word)





What applications do you think everyone should get?

HTC Sense UI Weather Widget Duplicate(With Animations!)


Here's a nice video on how to get it looking exactly like the Sense UI Widget.



And the link to it in the android marketplace can't be given other than this:

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/news_and_weather/weather-toggle-widget_kdk.html


Apparently they don't have a search feature in the PC version of the android market Embarrased

But yeah, I haven't USED the app, but I'm probably going to get it as soon as I get my phone.

Fractal Tap:  Drag your finger across the screen, and thin colored streaks will appear...then they "grow" looking like ice/crystal patterning.  Default color patterning is combo red/blue/hot pink/yellow/lime green.  You can save your creations, change the speed of growth/background color/fractal color.

Ringdroid:  Haven't used it, but grabbed it at the suggestion of someone here on the forums.  Allows you to "clip"a song on your phone and make a ringtone from it.

AutoKiller:  Mean little buggers run in the background on the phone and eat up memory/resources.  They run in the background even if you haven't touched the app -- use this to KILL THEM!!!! KILLEM ALL!!!!!   Evil

Not going to list every app that I have, but just the ones I find the most useful:

BuzzBox - News App/widget that syncs from tons of sources for every subject.
Pure Messenger - Widget that syncs to your twitter, facebook, email/gmail, and sms. Very nice UI.
Weather & Toggle Widget - Very pretty widget that will show you forcast and time. A good alternative would be weather bug + retro clock widget
WakeVoice - Alarm clock that you can configure to talk to you and stop with your voice.
SoundHound - Like shazam but faster recognition and can recognize humming/singing.
Urban Dictionary - Has a nifty widget that will update daily. For those curious about irrelevant definitions.
Launcher Pro - Nice alternative to the stock home screen.

I really like these apps.


App Brain - Lets you browse the market from your pc.
Advanced Task Killer - The name says it all.
Fast Web Installer - This lets you install apps from the App Brain Market using your PC.
Tune In Radio - Play a number of radio stations on your phone.  Local and International
Rings Exteded - Ring Tone management.
Battery Indicator - Gives a percentage of battery remaining in the notification bar.
Net Counter - Keep track of how much data your using.  Tracks both wireless and phone data usage.

I am sure there are some that I am over looking but hey it is a start.

I use Dr. Web antivirus -- I like it for the fact that it scans apps after they download but before they install.

Handcent - Nice alternative to the default SMS app.  Heavily customizable.  Each contact could have their own font, colors, background, sound etc.

Trillian - Better multi IM messaging app.  You're going to have to use the Sideload Wonder Machine for this as its still in beta.

Dolphin Browser HD - Better than the default browser.

Movienight - Nice app for planning dates, suggests things to do in your area movies, clubs, restaurants, etc

Settings Profiles - For creating different profiles by location etc.  I know the HTC phones on the Tmobil network have this ability
