What are your favourite apps for the Tattoo

I have recently got my Tattoo and have not really had a chance to play with it yet other than debranding it to the HTC ROM.
What are your favourite and can't do without apps ?? What ones should I look for ??
Thanks in advance
AK Notepad -> Write all notes you want.
ASTRO File Manager -> Manage your files.
BookMark BR -> Change the order of browser's bookmarks and some other stuff.
Deezer -> Listen webradio of Deezer.
Facebook
Frozen Bubble -> a very nice game
Google Traduction
Here I Am -> Get the adress of where you are.
NetCounter -> If you have, like me, a provider who limits the connection speed when i'm above 500Mo, this application show you all the informations about your DATA.
Places Directory -> Know all restaurants, hotel, etc around you.
Secret Box -> Store all your passwords in an encrypted file.
shazam -> recognize any music who you're listening on the radio for example.
And Finally TASKILLER to free up the RAM when you have too many apps launched.
Thanks for that, I have downloaded some of the ones that you have suggested.
...also...
Atrackdog > checks updates for your installed apps
AndroidOffice> Office suite
Documents2Go> Office suite
Quick Settings> fast communication manager (wifi, gprs, etc.)
Backgrounds> many backgrounds from internet directly to your home or sdcard
ebuddy (apk)> messenger
appmanager> as its name
I use 3Banana for making notes. I can sync them online, which is a feature i like a lot.
Along with this, i definitely recommend ToggleSettings.
ToggleSettings is similar to QuickSettings
I've installed Msn Droid (best similar messenger app for Android for now)
Oh ok. Then i'll give quicksettings a try.

This is a operator problem. Here in Belgium, with my provider I cannot find paid apps and I can only find some free apps.
Now I have a HTC Hero for my work and if I put the card from that provider in my X10 mini pro I can find paid apps and all free ones as well.
So maybe a pre-paid card from another provider can help you.

This is not an operator issue.
The problem is in market settings on E10i.
We will solve it once we have the root, patch is available at this url :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645286
So for now solution is to copy files over to SD and install from there.

Ok, I'll hope we'll get that soon then.
Just strange that with my Belgian card I don't have access to the files and with my dutch card I have.
I'm glad there is a solution, we will have to wait idd.

Yeah I have Snesoid working. Needed to use the market patch to download it tho.

Must Have Apps for WinMo

Hey,
I am creating this post because wherever I go, people have this misconception that the WinMo doesn't have apps, its not user friendly etc etc. From what I have seen in the forums ( hear hear ), I have found out that its one of the most customizable OS's out there. People say that Android has more apps, well you are not going to use all those right ? Blackberry has push blah blah. I will discuss the apps which are cutting all these platforms one by one ! These are the most essential ones, and i believe that these will be more than enough. Please add whatever you feel necessary.
Recently bought an HTC HD Mini phone. ( This is my first Smartphone btw ). After going through a lot of apps, apparently most of them are for VGA/QVGA screens.
Messaging
What Blackberry, Apple and Android promote is the concept of messaging. They have 1000's of apps for chatting etc. Palringo is one of the best messaging clients available there. Instead of downloading separate chat clients for all separate chats (like bb), better to download Palringo. You will say similar apps are there for bb n stuff, but thats the point right ? This post is for all those bb,android snobs u must have met after buying an HD Mini or HD2
Push Email
Oh, aren't those BB people charging that much money just for enterprise push email ?? And haven't you spent a fortune looking for a perfect push email solution ?? And most of winmo phones provide one sync accounts. Is this your problem ?? Well Emoze Pro which btw is free, lets you push-manage n-number of email accounts ( in my case, n=5) and its real time push. You can add n office accounts also, with OWA ( Outlook Web Access ) and Google Apps. Isn't it amazing ? The BB just got a kick in the nuts .
Interface
Well, now that we have beaten the #%$ out of the bb people with those 2 nifty apps , lets take a go at the android people. And this will be useful for those who have used sense ( there are mods for getting sense on your older phones but not sure) or some other awesome interface. Sense in my opinion is byfar the best interface available ( on my HD Mini atleast n same in HD2 with liveweather ), but if you get bored of it then obviously you have got SPB Mobile Shell.. You have to use it to experience it and I am sure you agree And how can you forget the beautiful S2P player and S2U2 utility with their beautiful sync and caller ID !! Must haves !!
Other Useful apps include :
FIM ( Facebook Instant Messenger )
Shazam
IM Plus
Premier League Pocket 10
Coreplayer
Please update more apps for the devices. I know these apps are more than enough for me ! But if you can post more I will add them !
GO WINMO !
Well, here is my list:
-G Quickswitch, it changes automatically your profiles when you need it, very useful for me coz i change between normal and vibration all day
-Memmaid for improove the performance of your phone
-Vito eye photo
-Garmin mobile xt, it saved my life!
-MySquare, which i found in this forum and it's a nice app
-Vito sms chat, i hate WM sms interface and couldn't change it with astronout method so i downloaded this program and it works fine.
and the best games:
-groovy jump
-resco bubbles
It's a troll topic
Is there no must have, only what you think it's usefull for your use
I absolutely need these on my Xperia x1i:
ROM: WM 6.5 826x ROM (http://826x.blogspot.com/2010/02/rom-826x-wm-655-build-23541-w-htc-sense.html)
SPB Mobile shell (not free, but absolutely amazing)
A_C's S2U2 and S2P (http://www.ac-s2.com/)
Resco Explorer 2008(not free either but after using it, normal file explorer seems
TomTom 7 Navigator GPS (Garmin's good too but I prefer TomTom)
SPB Keyboard isn't exactly a must as the Xperia has a full QWERTY keyboard but there's no onscreen keyboard that comes close IMHO
keep this topic up ....
I am Newbie ... just start collecting apps and games ...
SPB Mobile Shell rocks !!!
SPB Weather (pay) - like it very much .... nice graphic
SPB Time (pay) - very good and different kind of alarms and world time
SPB Radio (pay) - a lot of radiostations ...
SPB TV (free) - also a lot of TV Channels accessible over WiFi connection with impressive good quality
SPB Games - all their games have very good graphic
SPB Home Page
Alreader - only ebookreader I need.
-No one mentioned Opera Mobile 10 and mini? Add then.
-Microsoft MyPhone for handy phone backup and anti-theft solution
-ppcpimbackup, good for backing up phone contacts, sms etc.
-msm7kcpuspeed- push CPU over limit
For me, the below are a must after every fresh flash:
ACR 1.2.4 (Automatic Call Recorder).
AppTpDate.
CleanRAM.
CorePlayer.
FingerKeyboard2.1.
IMDB Mobile.
JWMDIconChanger.
LyricsFinder 2.0.
Minesweeper 1.5.1.2.
MMTaskManager.
Mp3TagEditor_v2.0.
mVu_0.7.9.
Opera 10 Final.

Any Apps you recommend a new Android user?

Hey there,
I just switched over from iOS to Android and I'm using a Redmo Note 4 (MTK) right now.
Are there any apps you would recommend me or would that are mandatory to use?
Hmm.. Fingerprint Quick Action allows you to bind some nice actions to fingerprint scanner, like expanding notification bar. Google Drive is very useful for syncing data, QuickPic is imho the best gallery app you may find, MiXplorer is one of the best file managers (look for it on xda).
That sounds interesting!
Is there a camera app I should use or is the stock one more more than enough?
retrica camera app
app Backup and restore
colour note
Wallpapers
shareit
Greenify
mx player
nova launcher
parellal space
swiftkey
leos fortune (game).
I'd recommend Mega (50 gb free online space), and substratum theme engine, if you plan on rooting and installing a custom rom.
That is a good question xD
If you are a photographer or like to do something the same as taking photos,try Snapseed.
The social Applications like Instagram,Google plus,Facebook,twitter...there s no need for me to give you these lol
Some games are recommended in Google Play.
In my phone,i am a programmer,so I downloaded some Material Design Guides,a text editior,etc.
Maybe my words are useless but i still hope it works.
Have a good time xD
Sd maid pro
There are many cleaning application on android platform to clean the device but believe me guyz this app is tremendous...Awsm performance
I'll share more apps and plz continue this thread.... Thnx
