- What the heck is an APK? (That's only for Android and has nothing todo with linux, yes I said it android has nothing todo with linux :) )

- There are many ways to install an app.

-> you can install a .deb file

-> add a ppa our use the official repos and install via consol

-> build the binarys from source....

Currently someone is working on an "app store" but this is not a priority since ubuntu touch is still in pre alpha.

P.S. I am a DEV and I need some Ideas that's why I started the thread.

The apps I can not live without on my android phone are:

- Whatsapp

- Facebook messenger

- Automateit to silence my phone automatically on google agenda events etc.

- Yatse (XBMC/openelec remote over wifi)

- DLNA/UPnP client to listen to my music and watch movies on my network.

- Transmission client to manage Transmission on my openelec server.

- Business calendar with the nice widget on my home screen to see my upcoming events.

Don't know it its going to be in the core already, but I would like to have access to my samba server on my network.

Hope this is of any use.

Currently I have managed to add my own web apps. Now I'll try to change wallpaper and after that I will try to programme a simple app for reading http://stadt-bremerhaven.de/ . If I can do this app I will try other apps.

For Phablet......

Backup like Titanium.

It happens on almost every phone call. However, when I use the speaker or my bluetooth headset then it works fine without problems. My phone is not on mute and I have turned of noise reduction and the option to mute phone when turning phone upside down.

Is this a known or common issue or does my phone need to be replaced through samsung warranty? I searched this forum and several other sites, but it doesn't seem like there is a fix.
