Essential Android Apps

[Epyon]

foes anybody know of a decent Twitter and Facebook app, and because I'm a cheap skate , if possible free

I find the Twitter app is pretty good, what more do you want?

 

[khevolution]

I find the Facebook app painfully slow , and wondered what was the best app to get info from both Facebook and Twitter, so I can post a comment on both

Tweetdeck? It's what I use, but then I don't interact with Facebook much.

New launcher features to look out for in this new one?

 

[hiyajac]

The ROU Launcher looks very cool, to be released in the Market by end of this year.

FPSE is probably my favourite application. But does anyone know if you can hook up a controller to it ??

Also is there any camera app that lets you use a physical button as the camera shutter for the samsung galaxy s2

Yes. I use PS3 and Wiimote pads.

On CM7 I have the volume rocker set to zoom and the power button set to focus on press and take a picture on release.

Hi I wonder if any of you have an idea of an app that could do this.

My kids get marbles for doing different things. eg tidying their room, doing home work, etc etc. They also lose marbles for being bad.

Is there an app that I can do this with for example.

Daughter home work 3

then at the end of the week it gets a total.

Marbles = pocket money.

Do the old fashioned way, with a piece of cardboard and stick gold stars on it

Kids love that stuff

Have your kids cottoned on and started buying marbles with their pocket money?

Just found that there is now a TeamSpeak 3 application for Android.

Works quite well in a 'phone a TS server' kind of way. Can't seem to get my BT earpiece working with it, but with the wired headset it sure beats using my laptop to be on TS while sat on the sofa, etc.

Theres also a mumble application which is really great.

How about one "app" for Windows (pc or tablet). Not really an app but some software:

BlueStacks has released software which allows you to run Android Apps on a Windows PC:

It only an alpha and you can get it here (116mb):

What is the quickest, easiest and cleanest way to change fonts?

I'd like something super clean (iphone-ish) and would also ideally like to change the stock lock screen clock font. Plenty of apps in the market but most need prior installs of more apps and I don't want a messy solution. I'm rooted on a HTC HD2 gingerbread install.

Thanks
