can anyone share there thoughts on how well game emulators like this one or something for gameboy work? i've seen rumors of playstation 1 emulators for WM here and there is there anything that advanced available for android just yet?

sorry for all the basic questions i've been a WM user for the better part of 5 years and i'm nervous/excited about the switch to Android...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Archatos:
Today I found a nice app: G-MoN. You can use it to find WiFi-networks and save it to a text-file. Also you can use it in combination with GPS to store the location of the WiFi-networks you found.

(it also displays the channel-number which is useful for WiFi-troubleshooting)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ClausG76:
The nes emulators are good, but hard to control with touchscreen. I prefere ggnes since you can set up the touchscreen layout yourself. The on screen touchpad in nesoid is to small for my fingers. A calibration option might fix it though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Red Arrow:
Is there an app which will keep a log of your total used call minutes and sent texts?

I can't seem to find this on my phone, is this information hidden away somewhere already without the need of an app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Are there any good WiFi sniffers that will also allow you to connect to any open networks found ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] R3PUBL1K:
For me too and is better than hi MSN...

Here are a few from me.

The first to get is barcode scanner then for each of the applications I have listed (so far) just click the lick and use the barcode scanner app to scan the QR Code in the top left of that applications page to get a quick link on the Market Place from you Android phone. :cool:

SMS Popup - A simple app that shows a popup dialog when a SMS/MMS is received (including the contact photo). Also includes a ton of options to customize the notification.

Call faker - Ever been in an uncomfortable situation or with someone who talks too much? Just set the contact, time, and ringtone, and the phone will ring with a fake call, allowing you to escape!

Android VNC - See and control your computer's desktop from your phone, from anywhere.

Linda File Manager 1.2.10 - Your files as easy as computer. The app you cannot miss!

Meebo IM - Meebo is a totally free IM app. Chat with friends on AIM MSN Yahoo Facebook MySpace Google Talk Jabber and ICQ.

Lock 2.0 - Like slide to unlock - gets rid of that awful first screen

3G Watchdog - Monitors your Mobile Internet (3G/Edge/GPRS) traffic usage, shows a status icon (green/orange/red) in the notif bar and/or a detailed report page. Useful if your "unlimited data" plan actually has some restrictions (read the fine prints)!

Power Manager - Extended your battery life and manage the power usage of your phone. Adds NEW settings to the phone (e.g. screen timeout during a call, etc.) and allows you to quickly change other phone settings depending on conditions (e.g. low batt).

Task Manager - LIST TASKS, PROCESSES, CPU/MEMORY/NETWORK USAGE

I'll post more when I have time later and for those that use face book - its rumoured an official android app will be published this week.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] claxx:
I use Phonalyzr which keeps tracks on alot of thing, you can try that

AK Notepad sticky function DOESN'T work on hero.

I also have tried an empty home page, but no stick appeared.

Does anyone get the same?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kiz:
It appears on the original android home screen instead - behind TouchFlo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] lesiohormon:
audio booster

hi

anyone know something about any audio bosster or equalizer on android like the one from WM ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sprinkles:
yes, but i have to go into each contact and click "use facebook..." Is there another way to do this?

as for calendar, i am using the stock HTC calendar. I am only getting one calendar and not seeing the setting for allowing other calendars from google. do you know where i can find this feature/setting?

thanks,

sprinkles
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
Seems to me that the HTC calendar gives you a merged view of all your Google calendars, just like the google calendar web page does, but without the ability to enable/disable them separately.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] djmace:
If you press the menu key whilst on calendar you can view any combination of your synced calendars, all or just one! i have 4 synced and can turn each one on and off as i please.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
yup, you're right, thanks; I should be more careful before posting :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sprinkles:
thanks guys. i am going to look into this. as for the other problem "find all facebook images" that is nested within the top level contact list under events. I think HTC could have done a better job with the interaction model or start up demo to make things easier for users. I do know this, I am using a lot more data than I was last month; a big eff-u to ATT.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Back on topic... :cool:

Layar has been released on the Market... along the lines of wikitude but with more scope from what I can see.

Both essential apps - even if only to show Jesus Phone users that the world is not quite all theirs just yet ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] robboy:
I agree needs a few more users in my area but it is going to be a big thing. Thing id we will probably needs the iphones users to get the nest out of it
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dipje:
I think it won't help you because it's advanced stuff, but if you your Hero rooted, you can extract the database containing all the messages.

A free application / EXE file ony our Windows Mobile device will save all your WinMo messages in a .xml file.

I then wrote a little Linux application that reads the .xml file, and adds the entries to the SMS database from android. After that you can place the sms database back on your device.

.. tadaah, I have all my old messages and convo's ready on my android device. Little warning though, it seems the Hero messaging app will get slower with lot's of messages, where the WinMo app seems to handle 2000+ messages pretty good.

So, if you rooted your Hero and you have linux installed somewhere, I can help. Otherwise you will have to Root your Hero (anyway) and see if that Windows Application will work for you (it didn't for me).
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] darkpython666:
yeah needs to be downloaded !

taskiller is a must for this phone everything so much quicker

and yeah the msn app is awsome as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] gavinfabl:
Great thread, some very useful apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] gears:
Some other useful apps I've installed. All are free.

Ultimate Stopwatch & Timer - Gorgeous stop-watch

Google Search by voice - A quick way to search for things on the web. Just speak!

Unit converter - Useful every now and then when you convert weight, speed and more.

GPS Tracker - Simple, free, easy-to-setup. Careful on the update frequency though as it'll kill your battery.

Compass - Again, a neat little app. Useful little app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] archboy69:
I wish facebook would release an app for android! Come on now! :O
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Tyronnster:
Hello

I am lookin for a way to mass delete msn messages,

Where are they stored, Is it the phone memory or the SD card,

Would like to just clear the whole lot,

Over 4000
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wouwout:
Wefi Connect does that, it can connect automatically or just display a message. Lots of options available. Runs in the background (if you want it to).
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] gavinfabl:
Just bought Album Artgrabber. Cost £1.19 but makes adding album art to music a breeze.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Arctic Matt:
Solo and other apps me like.

Don't know if it has been mentioned here but Solo is a fantastic virtual acoustic guitar.

Here is a list of my must have apps too...

Dashboard - just for the reverse reflected on windscreen idea at night.

Wave Write - I have actually used this to flag a taxi.

Urban Kite - Whats around me, stuff.

PicSay Pro - keeps the kids entertained.

Labyrinth - Best game yet (bring on the pro version)

Flixter - Movie listings, reviews and previews

Amazon

Qik - live streamed video as it should be.

Babbler - for Facebook

Twitdroid for twitter

Brightkite - for both of the above.

Market Enabler Beta - sod off closed garden.

Google Maps - duh! No Co-pilot for me as it's too expensive. My Mio cost me less.

Sky Map -You live on a ball rock of hurtling though space and time you know.

Torrent-Fu

Layar - AR that set this phone apart. I think iPhone version is very laggy.

Wikitude - Another great AR app

WP to Go - post to your wordpress blog.

ACast - Best podcast software for me. Long time user of Beyondpod. But I think that Acast is just that bit better on Android.

Veg Eating - Location based veggie restaurant guide that is brilliant for vegans and veggies.

Quickpedia - Wikipedia quickly, who would have guessed.

Droidss - I like to keep my text feeds seperate from my audio and video feeds.

Nesoid - gotta love Mario.

Youtube downloader - Mainly for getting kids stuff though my 4 year old daughter insists on me downloading early David Bowie songs from The Old Grey Whistle Test!

Hope this list was of some help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tiddylicious:
Which taskkiller app do you guys use? I looking for a lite and easy one.

I also am looking for something that ensures me that only GSM and wifi is on, since my city (the first in the world) is totally covered by wireless for us hard working students.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Switchbitch:
You can do this easily using the HTC widgets already on the device. The HTC mobile data widget allows you to switch on and off the mobile data connection from the homescreen, and you can do the same with the WiFi widget.

So for your purposes, switch WiFi on and mobile data off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] maruchan78:
Works for me if I add the android widget. There are tonnes of sizes to choose from on the menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] geovass:
TaskPanel is Great!

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tiddylicious:
Hmm, i should have been more careful in my statement, its one of Europes first wireless cities, and the city is Trondheim (in Norway ). Tried to google a little bit around who was first out.. dunno
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] riz157:
3G Watchdog is brilliant for measuring Data usuage, I prefer this more then Netcounter. Aso Lock2 is good for screen lock plenty of themes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] superevo89:
is there a background data widget to toggle the background data on and off?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Sawkes:
tiddy, which city? Sounds interessting :)

btw i can recommend Bambuser for live broadcasting :*)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Funkyfin2000:
Any one give me options for a task killer ap?

Have tried free taskiller and it was alright!

Any other suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Seems Twidroid (just updated today and a Pro version too) is waaay faster than Peep. If you log out of Twitter in Settings and remove the Peep widget, things speed up all round on the Hero.

Been using this all evening and my Hero appears to be as fluid as a fluid thing is fluid :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] hkr:
It's too expensive to drive around in Europe, so I guess you don't need the maps anyway :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Well if he can't afford 55 euros for the app, how is he going to afford the 1st tank of fuel foe his car ?? :rolleyes:

Or is he getting this from a Torrent too ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] yangas:
yangas

LOL im sorry for my "expretion". AND i have money 4 the phone and for Fuel lol , just studyes cost 3k eur 4 a semester , have a car to look after and now im a bit budget cut , so i think i need to order it and be more carefull with words. lol soz
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
:) LOL... well, if you do get it, give us feedback on how well it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] xrrkrrkx:
I was a bit skeptical of buying copilot and all for 2 reasons.

I had to root my Hero to do so ( Sweden, no paid apps)

I have been a loyal follower of TomTom for a long time.

It works quite well. I am very happy with it. The sat fix is super fast, but I guess that has more to do with the awesome Hero hardware .

The maps have been flawless so far.

It's menu system is intuitive.

Any specific questions let me know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
So you would rate it compared to TomTom then ?

Does it support speed cameras ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Huey85:
Still waiting for CoPilot Live maps here in Australia :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] liamhere:
i too have been tomtom from day one :)

but i have to say copilot is much better....imo :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ermacwins:
ndrive isnt bad. besides when i start document viewer it displays all the co pilot text files! i tried hiding these but no luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Mikey:
Do you have response lag, switching between menu screens?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] liamhere:
not what i have noticed mikey
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Is there a trial version for CoPilot ?

Also, I hear TomTom are writing their app for Android too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Sausageman:
I just found clip2mobile under the 101 best android apps list. It lets you wirelessly send files etc from your computer to your phone.

I am in the UK but cannot buy a number of apps eg Bejeweled or The Sims or Sim City. It appears the Market app has geographical restrictions. Not happy. I have had Bejeweled on every device since my Palm m505.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] rob_p:
You have 24 hours to get a refund if you buy something on google market place, so you can buy it, try it, and if you don't like it, get a refund :) It works really well though - got it for my Wife's Hero, and now have it on my TP2 as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] B4DASS:
One thing I haven't noticed on this list so far is an app that organises your 'All Programs' list. (which if your like me will have loads of programs on it - even after only having it for four days).

"Apps Organizer" (sp) - lets you categorise all your apps and you can put shortcuts on you homepage to those categories. However, I'm stuggling to find how you get to the option to put shortcuts on the screen. Lots of people who have downloaded it say they are doing it, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know how?

So I'm just using it throughthe app itself through expandable categories.

Anyone else know any apps for organising all your apps to make it easier to find stuff. (Something like the samsung one that i've seen in videos, which has four sections, one on top of the other and you can scroll horizontally through each would be nice, if it exists, or can be developed if not - hint, hint to all the developers out there. I don't know how to write apps or I would have given it a go.)

P.S. sorry for the long post. hope it makes sense.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Just the ability to create folders would be nice... really simple to do surely ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Thanks for the reminder, I keep forgetting Google do that ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] heartyparty:
The ability to create folders on your home screeen exists already. You can hit the add button, then select 'folder'. Is this what you were after?

Cheers,

Heartyparty
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
I want to create a folder such as 'Mapping' and move all my mapping apps into it. Another called 'Games' and move all my games into it...

If this is possible, I am missing something thats not immediately obvious.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Mikey:
Apps Organizer great app that's free
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
Thx :) But looking at the description, you can use labels but not create folders.

Basic stuff really, even my Nokia could do this ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Mikey:
You create a shortcut on your desktop to this app and it walks you through creating your folders ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] B4DASS:
I can't see the option for the walkthrough for creating folders, even pressing the menu button doesn't bring up anything.

Can you do a step by step of what buttons to push to get to this walkthrough. Really sorry if i seem dumb, but I just can't seem to find the option.

Thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] heartyparty:
On your home screen hit the '+' button on the bottom right of the screen, select folders, and a folder will then show on your screen. You can tap the header of the open folder to rename it and drag and drop apps to it.

Watch out though. I had a problem when changing scenes. After changing and then going back to my saved scene with folders on it, the folders were empty. Don't know if this is a bug?

The folder instructions are on the hero instructions pdd which come with the phone.......

Cheers,

Heartyparty
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Mikey:
Long press homescreen->shortcut->app organizer

Then you can pick which "Label" you want making it into a folder
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
Hold finger on screen, create new folder.

Open folder. hold folder top-bar to get rename option.

close folder.

bring up apps list with the bottom LHS button. find app you want to add, and hold it down.

app will appear on main screen; it can then be dragged - now or later - on top of the closed folder, into which it will be placed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
and to remove, open folder, hold down app, will be moved back to desktop, or can be dragged to "remove" bin at bottom. as can folder itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
but perhaps you meant folders within the app list pages, rather than folder on the home screens? no, I don't tihnk that can be done
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] B4DASS:
Thanks heartyparty, that method works. I never knew about that. That wil be useful. What I wanted to know (I probably wasn't clear and re-looking at my previous post I can see i wasn't. So thanks heartyparty for that.

Mikey i tried what you said that and it works. I wish Apps Organizer had instructions or something with it. Many thanks Mikey, I never thought of doing it that way, thought it would be an option within the app.

Thank you both very much, I can now clear up my screens for widgets instead of individual program shortcuts, (one cheeky question, can you change the icons?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] B4DASS:
To move the thread along, other must have apps:

"Gameboid" -a Gameboy emulator such as

"Locale" - for location based settings to your phone.

"Twidroid" for twitter.

"Abduction!" a really nice game that uses the tilt sensors in the phone.

"Space War" A fast paced shoot 'em up.

"Bonsai Blast" - cool Game

"Mother TED" - for inspiring videos from TED.com

"StarTranslate" - Translates into loads of languages and even speaks them for you.

"Power Manager" - changes setings on how your phone is being used to save power.

"Astrid" - A life organiser

One more which will probably become very important in future - "antivirus"

"handyCalc" - A calculator that seems to do almost anything maths related even has zoomable graphs.

"Apps Organizer" - Now that I know how to use it thanks to the people on this forum.

edit - just found a free camera stabilizer "FxCamera" - has other options too. Can't seem to zoom with it though.

Sorry if there are repeats here.:o

Can we get all the apps that have been suggested in a long list on the front page (or amalgamated into the first post) so that they are easy to find and we don't end up with repeats?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
yes, you can give Labels custom icons, but only from the set that Apps Organiser provides. It's not a bad set at all, but there are some real app icons I would have liked to be able to use.

Probably can, if they files are just copied into place.

And I love the Export facility; I've just converted all of my Home Screen folders - which will not survive a wipe when installing new ROMs, and can't be backed up - into AO labels.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] trice1921:
I've just installed Apps Organizer, but 2 of my apps don't appear in it's list. Google Mail and Sim Toolkit. Anyone else have these missing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Mikey:
