i just downloaded free app killer pro, my battery has lasted just over 2 days!!!
 
Installed Launcher Pro yesterday and set it up to have a really clean look. Just a few icons on the home screen and no notification bar and the app draw set up so it's minimal and efficiently displayed by removing all the useless apps from it.

Downloaded it earlier in the week, was tempted to install Gingerbread as it's rooted but at the end of the day it's not customized and improved like Darky's Rom. Just trying to figure out what I can do to further customize my phone...I can't think of anything lol.
 
Does anyone else think it's time for them to introduce a languages section in Android market? Most of the time I search for apps it's in some other language. Or is it because of my location?

Nice!

BOOBS!
 
Tempted to install Ultibread. It's on 1.4 at the moment. Looks nice, gonna have a read through the thread and find some more detailed installation instructions.
 
Is anyone running Gensoid emulator? It's fantastic! It takes a bit to get the controls the way you want them and to just get used to them, but I played Mortal Kombat 2 for several hours yesterday. With the latest update for Gensoid, there's an app that comes with it where you can search and DL ROM's straight to your phone.
 
Just got my Atrix today. Been tweaking it a bit. Love this phone. Having issues getting it to work with PS3 Media Server tho.
 
Anyone had any luck getting Android to run on HTC touch pro 2?

I've been trying the past few days and it just keeps jibbing out. Even though it should be cool to use aside from certain features.

( MMS,Bluetooth,Speaker phone)
 
I finally got my phone rooted and CyanogenMod 6 installed. I gotta say I fell in love with my phone all over again. It was a rookie mistake I made that prevented me from flashing the recovery file. Keep in mind, if you rename a file recovery.img, even if it only says recovery.img, it literally is recovery.img.img.

So I've been checking out an app called TiKL. It's a PTT app that's pretty neat. It'll work for anyone with the app installed on their phone and you can send burst messages from your phone to theirs, or in a group of other contacts. It's pretty pimp, check it out. Also, it uses no minutes or SMS messages.
 
My friend got me using an app like that called HeyTell.
 
Which phone you got Dann?

Nice! Just recently flashed Project Elite 5 (with the honeycomb custom theme, makes it look like a Moto Xoom) on my Droid1, it's a gingerbread based custom rom. It runs as smooth as butter!
 
Anyone grabbing an HTC Thunderbolt today?
 
Uses a snapdragon proc right?

New android gizmo

While I've had it a couple weeks now, my new Viewsonic G-Tablet is running great. Supposably, you can get it on amazon now for 280. What they say on the net is mostly true, so, for those thinking about it, make sure you can follow directions to flash new roms. Flashing the gtab is much simpler than doing it on a phone...less hardware to get in the way. A couple of plusses --usb keyboard! No shit, typing proper like on a tablet. Good battery, don’t have specifics, but good nonetheless. Full web pages, not that halfway in between mobile and desktop. Gmail is gmail. Chat pops open a window on the lower right corner. While I don't hulu, there are ways to get it. Same with netflix. (But I do netflix). Also, a dock (~50$) has ethernet, usb, and hdmi out. I really bought it for that...if I can get rid of the htpc, I will be happy camper.

Ok, the cons: poor screen viewability. Not the worst, but it gets washed out quick. The sharpest image comes from a Vnc connection. Looks fantastic, and it's fast, too. Much faster than my sgs, but not as sharp.

As usual, xda comes through with some quality custom based stuff. I'm running VEGAn 5.1 with pershoots oc kernel. Just loaded that a few hours ago.

Out of the box, its a toy. After some moderate tweaking, it is a powerful tool. My first encounter with mobile computing came via Fujitsu's C-500. I don't know how to put it, but the celeron in it was the only thing better if not the same than the gtab. That's simply because of the x86 instruction...

Ok, time to get to family life...have fun today!
 
I'm posting here as a representative of my mother who has an Xperia X8 she got with an almost 55% discount. lol

Anyway, what are the phones using Android that match up with the iPhone 4?
 
Hi guys :D Can I join?

Got myself a HTC desire Z. So damn pleased with it, can't wait to over-clock it either, apparently these things go like the clappers! Seen them run benchmark runs @2ghz! :D

Only problem is I find instructions difficult to follow to root etc.

Any halp?

@entropy13 I've done some comparisons with my boss's Iphone4 and they're around the same speed, mine completes webpage just before, however the iphone rendered a more usable site earlier.


Some apps I recommend.

PC remote control. Does what it says on the tin, connect to your pc via wifi and control it using your phone, works at 10fps or so for me. Trial version lasts a day but it's fairly cheap to purchase.
You may wonder why bother controlling your pc via wifi when you could walk to it.
Think BBQS my friends, controlling your music for example. Or your in bed, and want to change movie. use your phone.

Winamp. Best bedia player for PC IMO, great music player for your Android device, has play-list search functionality, as well as a library search if you just want to find a specific artist.
Cons : no EQ!

Iplayer ( if your in the UK) a LOT of bad reviews on this app, but I think people were expecting to much, works fine on my phone at 400kbs stream rate, people complain about it needing wifi as well, but as you can watch live TV with the app you need a household obviously due to tv licensing.

Google sky map: just win.

Google translate : a bit buggy but really handy when talking to someone who doesn't speak the same language as you.

Playa control for winamp. Controls your pc winamp via wifi, better than using the pc remote app as this thing has a much higher refresh rate due to much much less data being transferred lol UI could do with some polish but it's fine and usable.

Speedx3d. This is just a fun game, reminds me of older style games but with much smoother frame rates XD
