PowerAMP is the best for music players. Hands down. I bought the full version today - the trial is full-featured but expires after a while.

I use Peep (the HTC twitter widget) but I don't do any tweeting I just follow stuff and check up on it a few times a day. Definitely get Handcent; it's a great SMS replacement app that is really customizable. My favorite is getting it to split messages after 160 characters by word, so there's no word being cut off, and you dont get an annoying message from Verizon about how you can't send over 160 characters to carriers other than Verizon like you do with the stock app.

For web browsing, I'd pick up Dolphin HD. I like it better htan the stock one because I can exit out of it and end the process - for a while I was having problems with the stock browser getting my phone hot and using CPU while I wasn't using it.

Definitely get Appbrain. Then:

On Appbrain, you can install an app called Car Home released by Google. It replaces the (awful) stock "Car Panel." Add it to your phone from the web site and then install it from the application and open the Car Panel app and choose Car Home. It's much more customizable and it doesn't use GPS all the time whenever it's open.

Obviously, get Angry Birds.

Good Morning is an alarm app that I like. It starts playing music and then tells you the time, day, weather, and if you purchase it, your calendar appointments for the day. Get the free version and then upgrade if you want multiple alarms and the calendar appointments.

Hope this helps enjoy your phone.

Great list! I found that you and I have many of the same. Some that I might add though...

Before someone starts to throw things at me let me just explain my doubt.

As many of you I have been waiting for the update to 2.1 for a long time.

I have read most of the reviews that cover what changes from 1.6 to 2.1, but I see many people trying to revert back to 1.6.

I would just like to know if in your opinion it is worth updating an U20i to 2.1.

Thanks for your input.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] The Andropirate:
i updated my x10 to android 2.1 for the sake of very good apps:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
So there are no unbearable bugs or drawbacks in Android 2.1 from 1.6?

So far we have 4 votes for 2.1, anyone care to explain what were the major gains or major drawbacks / problems after the update?

Keep the votes coming ;)

thats an biig bug!!!!!!!

stupid SE shoud go and kill themselves
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
well now we know who voted against the 2.1 :=)

I should do the update tonight if I am able. Then I'll leave a comment too :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] journeyman01:
My phone got slightly faster. But I updated mostly for the apps
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
I've just updated to 2.1 and I too note less freezes and a smoother operation. Plus I got my phone debranded and I have access to all the nice applications available on the android market.

Lets see if we can get the bootloader cracked and are able to eventually get 2.2 or even 2.3 on this wonderful device.

The only annoyance I have with 2.1 is I can't seem to get default input to stay off, something keeps reactivating it.
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
Dose any know a work around to this problem, when i take a picture or make a video on my D HD it gose into the cam shots folder. Now becuase i have folders on my SD card for pictures and videos of diffrent things i use astro to move the files from the cam shots file to the one i want e.g.holiday in spain. The problem is that every time the cam shots folder is empty the next picture or video you create will start with the file name IMG0001. This means that if you then move that file it will conflict with the name of other file with the same name already in the folder. i am forever having to rename files one by one. Any ideas to solve this would be of great help.

Even if you add iptables you cannot use it without enabling the netfilter in the kernal. If you cannot change the kernal (i mean if ASOP need the exact same kernal of SE) it is not possible :(. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It would be nice to have iptables so we can use transproxy and use wifi proxy.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
I do it the lazy way, take the tools folder and copy it directly to C:

So it would be,

cd C:\tools

adb blah blah blah

That's an easier path to remember.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] startngate:
That works too ... :D

My point was it's clear the OP has the path wrong. Actually finding the tools folder in Windows Explorer is obviously the first step.

Also, anything he is trying to push via ADB has to be in the tools folder as well if memory serves.

Of course there is an easier way to root ...

Don't know what to tell you. Following the instructions in the post I linked to above is the easiest way I know of how to root, and has worked every time I've tried it.

If you can get into download mode, then maybe try re-flashing to stock with Odin One Click and see if that helps any. Or re-install your drivers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
So, you cant even copy and paste from your pc to phone via usb mass storage?

Use your phone, go to dev section, find unleash the beast or super rooter extreme, download either and place the update.zip on the root of your sd card using My Files or whatever. Reboot your phone into recovery and reinstall packages. There, youre rooted. Dont forget to delete the update.zip if you plan to use CWM.

also im gonna need the android sdk file to do any sideloading right? how can i do this since i have alredy rooted my phone? thanks again
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] startngate:
You can use Sideload Wonder Machine or the Android SDK to sideload.

With the Android SDK, you just put whatever apk you want to load into the 'tools' folder and use the adb install filename.apk command.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Like i said, check the dev section for SRE or unleash the beast. One update.zip that does it all, root, bloatware removal, sideloading, etc.

What startngate said. Here in the captivate forum there is android developement, do a search for super rooter or unleash the beast. All the steps to run it are there. Works really well if you just want a stock rom with root and some other goodies. If you want custom roms i encourage you to read through the threads before doing anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I use this one to keep it simple.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

And I think it has the update.zip file in it... so if that application doesn't work.. you can just install the update.zip into your sdcard - reboot into recovery and install update.zip from there.

You don't need the SDK - just need to make sure your phone can be seen by your computer. I've used it on both an XP and Win7 64-bit machine at home and it works great.

To "side-load" applications - you can use the wonder machine... or place the *.apk file on your SDCard and use MyFiles or your favorite file explorer to browse to it and it should install just fine.

I'm testing my phone out with a stock ROM - and I'm rooted/sideload avail and even have a lagfix installed with all of my apps installed in under 15-20 minutes... it is a pretty simple process to root this thing nowdays :)

Annoying Touch buttons

I think that the most DHD users have the same problem, touching the buttons at the bottom if you really dont want to.

that would be awsome :)
