Yes. This Dialer rocks. Just like resco contact in windows mobile. Love it.

it is really odd for some excellent apps the rate and user are low.

This one don't have many users.

The alarm app "spb time" even have very low rate.
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Beautiful. which launcher are you using. how you set it up.

I switched to "go launcher ex"

I use widgetsoid and it is free also.
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Ulysse Gizmos: the best compass

easy profile: best profile manager

go launcher ex: best launcher.

freenote: use your finger for quite note. not sure whether it is the best. but I haven't been able to find another one which is as good as this.

hi-q mp3. the recorder. quite good one
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Pulse as the news reader.

Can anyone recommend a missing call reminder, sms/call block?

Llama Location profiles

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&feature=related_apps

Is similar to the easyprofiles app but is free. :)

Here's wakevoice. An alternate alarm clock which I use for the weekend :) I paired it with Lequendo TTS Susan which sounds more life like but is costs ~$6 usd. For me it is worth it. Others may not find it as appealing lol...

Added WakeVoice and LLama (which seems REALLY cool). Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Llama Location profiles looks not bad.

Does it have widgets that I could put several profile on the desktop?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
No widgets but there is a notification icon (in shape of a llama of course) with dots on top to indicate which profile the phone is currently in. It's not really meant to be a manual thing, mainly conditions and actions you set. Based on the conditions and/or location of your phone. IE: If you are at work and you are connected to your work wifi (which is a condition). Based on that condition you can set what actions you want, turn on bluetooth, silent or quiet the phone, or other set features in the app. It's pretty detailed for a free app IMO.
[HTC Sensation] director_mr:
I am so going to have to play with that app and get it working. I like it without even using it yet.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
LOL

I got hooked when playing with it really. I used apps like these in the past using locations but didn't work out too well. But using conditions in this app works well in my situation. And editing this to do what you want is great. I really don't have a negative thing to say about the app really. No ads, the UI is straightfoward and the support/info in the app itself is self-explanatory for me.

But I am a funny duck so each his/her/it own :D
[HTC Sensation] director_mr:
Its working great for me now. It just knows if it is at home, at work or on the road. I like it.

[HTC Sensation] director_mr:
If its something that can be found in a quick google search, or using basic common sense, I don't count it as useful. For instance, if someone comes up with

an app on how to change tires or oil I'm not putting it in the list. The forums, sure, but the list is for things that most people would find useful and would want to refer to.

I suppose if a bunch of people clamor to have the how to tie a tie app included I'll add it, but not until then.

Plus you guys have to include the link to the android store or where to get the app. Otherwise I have to search around and I don't always have the time to do that.
[HTC Sensation] fredrick90005:
I use the App "wheres my droid" - program that helps you find your phone if you misplace it, it will ring really loud when you next the the word you programmed it with
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Ok so going by that logic you might as well take off facebook & xda apps since you can just go to their respective sites.

Seriously just put the tie app up there. It is actually handy. If you're gonna not include apps just because you don't see them as useful then that defeats the whole purpose of this thread
[HTC Sensation] MonkeyK:
I'm with the OP. Static content doesn't make for much of an app. Nice info, but not much of an app.

OTOH, I am not sure how useful this thread is. At first I was hoping to see apps that work particularly well on the Sensation or made it a better device.

It turned out to be a list of Sensation user endorsed apps. This is just a little better than the other million "favorite app" threads since it at least ensures that the favorite app runs on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] director_mr:
This thread is a place to see what apps people like and why, and where you can get them. All of these apps are reported to work on the sensation. So for now, people who are newer to android and the sensation may find this useful.

You seem to be a more experienced user. What kind of info would you like to get in an android app thread? When I am looking at the 2 first posts in the thread, I feel like I have the "seeing apps that work well on the Sensation or made it a better device" covered. But I'm open to editing suggestions.

Protip: The only way "Advanced Task Killer" will have a positive effect on your system is if you have a poorly-coded app that runs in the background and eats resources (Example: Official eBay app), otherwise, any benefits you see are merely the placebo effect at work.
[HTC Sensation] zmodp:
^^THIS^^

Or maybe if you somehow flashed a pre-froyo build of Android...

Or maybe if you enjoy Force Closes...

Ever since 2.2, the Android system handles closing background apps by on its own.

Linux treats unused memory as wasted memory. Info is stored in cache so apps load faster next time you run them.

The last thing you want is a 3rd party task killer to go and kill those apps without properly dealing with their respective cache.

You will get Force Closes next time you try to open that app...

I cant tell you how many times a customer buys a phone and thinks they need a warranty exchange because their phone is farking up on them.

The dumbshite Corp sales rep told them to install a task killer...

Uninstall, reboot = problem fixed and no warranty exchange needed.

Stay away from these as well as "antivirus" apps.

video recorder

Is there a good video recorder for the Sensation, one that allows me to control the audio (e.g. sampling, bitrate, compression) and can record in stereo?

I've tried lgCamera/lgCameraPro, but it doesn't record in stereo on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] director_mr:
I'm not sure the sensation has a stereo microphone.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
I am sure it does have stereo mics. Besides the fact that it says it does in the specs, I have the Sensation, and the stock HTC video-recorder records in stereo or mono (and it is verifiably stereo on playback on stereo speakers). The only problem is that with the stock HTC video-recorder, the mic gain for stereo is set too high (or perhaps the bitrate too low) whereby too much clipping occurs.

I'd like to get a recorder similar to lgCamera, which gives control over audio recording properties, but is able to record the Sensation's stereo. lgCamera says it can record in stereo, and I've been in touch with the developer, providing him samples and logs and apk, but he has been unable to get stereo working.

I don't add games to the list, even though it may be a favorite app, because there is another thread that covers that better, but Gun Bros looks pretty cool. Elixer 2 does look quite a bit better than Elixer. Good find! And prey looks like a good antitheft utility. Thanks for the suggestions!

Lately I've been seeing so many different threads about fixing GPS issues in AOSP / CM7 gingerbread roms (accuracy, lock time, etc). I couldn't find a central location with all the available fixes and drivers for the Evo, so here it is.

Drivers:

**NEW** - Qualcomm Vision GPS Driver v1.1 (recommended) - Updated fix with latest Qualcomm Vision driver, should be less buggy. Fast gps locks, very accurate, no wake locks, no 100% cpu. Thread HERE. Flashable zip HERE (thanks galandy)

Qualcomm Vision GPS Driver v1.0 - Original fix, uses leaked Vision gingerbread driver. Fast gps locks, very accurate, no wake locks, no 100% cpu. Thread HERE. Flashable zip HERE (thanks galandy)

KingdomROM GPS Driver - Custom combination of RADIO/PRI/NV/Wimax/GPS - Fixes GPS and wake locks. Thread HERE. Flashable zip HERE (thanks JBabey)

Cyanogen Mod Nightly 39 GPS Driver - Some people claim these drivers work better than the current ones provided by CM7. Thread HERE. Flashable zip HERE (thanks daryelv)

EVO Gingerbread GPS Driver - Driver from the official gingerbread update. Some people are having success with these on AOSP roms (but check for cpu usage, you might have wakelocks). Thread HERE and HERE (thanks itlnstln and JusticeAA). Flashable zip HERE (thanks galandy).

Workarounds / Other fixes

GPSCLRX Sense Workaround - Clear GPS corrupted stats from a Sense rom. Thread HERE (thanks SantinoInc)

AGPS Data Refresh - Fixes dropouts by applying the latest AGPS information. Thread HERE (thanks DFlame)

Report back, and let me know of other available fixes I could add here!

The KingdomROM GPS driver was giving me 100% CPU usage with CM7.0.3.1. Is that an isolated occurrence or does it only play nicely with certain ROMs? I switched to the Vision driver and all is well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] galandy:
The KingdomROM driver may need a specific version of the PRI/RADIO to be able to work without causing a high cpu usage. The Vision driver doesn't seem to be affected by PRI/RADIO combinations.
