[Android Apps and Games] unnamedny:
try easyprofiles. guys are also coming up with rooted version for even more automastion
[Android Apps and Games] drcrappants:
hwat kind of automation do you guys do
[Android Apps and Games] unnamedny:
Profile apps can do all kinds of stuff for you. I use easyprofiles to save some battery. In 2 taps I can turn on/off Wifi, GPS, Mobile data, Auto sync (background automation only possible for root users, I have not seen any apps being able to do it). What my power save profile does it turns everything off, turns airplane mode on. then it run Task killer. My Google map profile turn on wifi, gps, mobile data and then runs Google maps. Much better than having 10 toggles on your screen. etc.

P.S. it's not limited to these settings there are more options, though it takes some time to learn everything.

I have a Nexus S and a Vibrant. The Nexus hasn't been rooted yet because it is fast enough stock. (Faster than the modded Vibrant).

There are only a few apps that require root, and I feel like most people would know about them if they were rooting their phones.
[Android Apps and Games] RickROM:
I use Tasker. Saves me a lot of battery life!

I have my phone currently set to check its location ever hour. It will turn WiFi on if it detects that I am at school or at home, and then it connects to the networks.

It will automatically turn off WiFi to save battery if I leave my house or school.

It will also silence itself if it detects that I am at work or at school. It also knows to silence itself at night when I am asleep.

It will increase display brightness if and display timeout if I am charging, but it will shorten the timeout and enable auto-brightness if I am using battery only.

It will turn off GPS, WiFi, and bluetooth if I reach 10% battery so that I have some battery left over for emergency calls if I forget to turn them off.
[Android Apps and Games] moopile:
A "Contacts" program that is more like the WinMo6.5x one (the only thing I miss about WinMo).

Such as:

A new contact can be a business with multiple contacts listed under it.

The business will then appear in the contact list, not the people listed in it.

If I start to type one of the contacts in that business, it will pull them up.

The closest alternative I have found in the stock Contacts is to add a contact for each person and re-enter their employer info. Then create a separate contact for the business.

In WinMo I could have Business "A", the manager, asst manager, and some others listed with each of their emails, home address, etc. I've yet to discover this functionality with Android Contacts. If it can be done, I would love to learn how.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] zeppelinrox:
Great thread!

Some that haven't been mentioned that I really like:

Smartbench instead of Quadrant (which has varying results all over the map.. heh)

ES Secutiry Manager - lock your phone via SMS message and when SIM card changes - send your data and GPS phone location to your gmail. Leaves a predefined custom message after it's locked. Mine says "Return for Reward. Call ####.

Webkey - remote control/access your phone contents from a browser - even wipe it.

CPUTuner - Tweak your overclock - enable/disable items and changer governors according to battery level/screen state using easy to figure out profiles and triggers

CPUStats - Just cool to see how long your CPU sits at what speed - how long in deep sleep, etc...

Process Monitor Widget - Try it. Be Impressed.

Battery Monitor Widget - See above.

GVoice Callback. ie. Google Voice Callback - free long distance in North America with Google Voice - even though I'm in Canada ;)

My list :o

1) Replace Battery with % values, not an app though.

2) Need To Write, my app! :p Highly configurable text editor with Memo-pad-like like interface that opens files of any size, Text to speech player, allows wordwrap toggling, background images, custom color schemes, multiple encoding, saving in multiple encodings, and keeps track of your progress in each individual file.

3) iReader, opens html, rtf, txt etc files and comes with auto encoding detection

4) Just Playlists, mp3 player that allows creation of customized playlists file by file.

5) Terminal emulator, the retro linux terminal feel gives me such a nostalgic vibe, though typing long commands on it feels like hell :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] unnamedny:
EasyProfiles is coming up with new version very soon. (I was a beta tester)

They are coming up with ROOT version. It's like a tasker but now they even have automated Background data and Data Roaming. They added more locations methods. I highly recommend this app to everyone.

"EasyProfiles is an intuitive, flexible, battery saving tool which allows you to automatically or manually switch between profiles that you have defined. A profile is a collection of system settings you select to make your device behave as you would like for each situation (quiet, loud, GPS on, etc). You define rules that activate each profile according to events or other criteria you have defined. The combination of profiles and rules make EasyProfiles a powerful system to enable your Android device to behave as you would like wherever you are. "

Is there any benefit to getting this app if you already have Tasker?
[Android Apps and Games] jlacy76:
Nice list.

I need a good email app. One that has inbox/outbox, supports multi accounts and stores messages until I delete them like outlook. It doesn't have to sync with outlook just have similar functionality.

I also need a GPS program that can save my current GPS location when I'm out in the backcountry and off road.

Apparently the working terminal emulator is Android Terminal Emulator

Antennas, that the OP suggested, sure is a lot more fun than Nokia's field test mode ever was. It seems like something of a battery drain when I used it, but worth it.

A few I haven't seen (yet) on the thread:

OK....ended up paying for "Touchdown for Exchange/Android". Its simple, but it does exactly what I want and synchronizes everything from Exchange server.

Touchdown is great for exchange. Plus, it only requires you to password protect just the email app (and not the whole phone).

Plus the universal widget unifies calendar + mail and the smaller widgets are sized perfectly for widget locker.

As for sms, check out handcent. Lets you customize everything about it, including colors, styles and fonts

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] 999ping:
Ran across this last night perusing the Market with 'AppBrain' - a market overlay app which suggests favourties.

It's a God game, fantasy setting. There are a series of scenarios and the premise is that each time you must build up a little town, hiring Rangers, Warriors, Wizards and Paladins to stave off a variety of monsters and achieve an objective.

This is a professional quality game and looks excellent. The U.I. is easy to pick up, gameplay (at least as far as I've got) is balanced and fun and it's pretty addictive.

If you like this sort of game or even if you are just curious, go download it now before they bump the price up - introductory price was just $1 last night! Go get it before it inevitably becomes HOT!!!

:)

**Edit: Correction it was UK 99pence so about $1.60 or so. Still an absolute steal, this game is a real gem. I got through another couple of levels today and it still doesn't disappoint. Not sure how many levels there are but I will definitely go back and re-play several after I get through them. It does add challenge and strategy in appropriate amounts: I failed one particularly fiendish level two or three times before figuring out a strategy that works and I'm still learning as I play. There's also online play apparently - presumably head-to-head, I haven't tried it yet. Fun, fun, fun!

Oh and I have no affiliation with the game whatsoever - never even heard of the development company before - I'm just a long time (semi-lapsed) gamer finding a good fix and wanting to share. :-)

Just installed it, paid $3+ (charges in euro by the way) graphics looks good... will spend a day or two till I decide if it's worth it or not. :)

But for those who want to get a pretty exciting game, try dungeon defenders. installed it and so far that game is so great! nice well done graphics! got in on sale for 99cents..dont know how much will it cost now, but trust me, it's worth it!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] 999ping:
Finally finished Majesty last night, eight scenarios in all though the map where you select scenarios looks like more were intended. Perhaps content that was unfinished at release, perhaps a paid expansion. I will be re-playing all of them with the knowledge I have gained and I am sure they will be rather easier the second time through.

Each scenario is different and each has an amusing little story to set it up. As you progress you get access to Elf and Dwarf allies, though not both at the same time of course. In some scenarios you do not have access to one or more of your troop types.

I would have liked a few (2-4) more scenarios but even at $3-ish I would still consider it a good purchase. The two enhancements I would really like to see are adjustable difficulty levels and a free play mode using a random map selection and perhaps allowing the enemies to re-build their generators (buildings) after you have destroyed them.

Still a fun little game with great production value! I would happily pay a couple more bucks for an expansion.

Dungeon Defenders is up to $4.99 now I'm afraid, wish I could have found that when it was 99 cents. Maybe if they have another sale... I wish Marketplace would let me set up a watch list for software I am interested in but not wanting to buy right now.

Happy gaming! :)

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] GPhoenix:
What was your strategy to the last stage Dragon Hazard that can only be unlocked when beating all the other stages with GOLD status?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] 999ping:
Actually, I only unlocked the Dragon level very recently.

I have not been able to beat it yet - haven't upgraded my g tab install of Majesty in a while so I'm still playing without the difficulty levels. (By choice)

The best approach I have found so far is strategically placed Dwarven towers - North, South, East and West - supplemented with Necros and Warriors, but I've only been able to get through the first couple of waves of Dragons. They just keep on coming and if you don't kill them quickly, they accumulate and take out your defenses. The waves of Undead and the Harpies just add to your woes.

- Necros are invaluable for the 'Wither' spell and their lifetaps

- Dwarven towers are necessary to hold the Dragons away from your other buildings: a Dwarven tower is about on par with one Dragon and is superior to a Wither'd Dragon; two Dragons however will make mincemeat of a tower pretty quickly

- The other trick seems to be getting your warriors leveled and upgraded to the point where they can actually take and dish some damage to augment the towers. Aggressive expansion early on helps.. I think getting more money to hero's early on (by setting easy cash objectives) might help also.

The problem is that once your initial crop of heroes starts getting killed or one of your towers gets taken out, you are pretty much screwed.

If you figure out more, please let me know. :)
