Had my Streak since Monday after finally deciding against the HD2. I've been a winmo user for years but didn't like the idea of being stuck with 6.5 for another 18 months.
I had built up a huge selection of fave apps for my HD and was reluctant to let some of them go, so I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for everyone's essential apps for the Streak.
Having only had the "phone!" for a few days, here's a couple of apps i'm liking so far:
1. RockPlayer - play avi files and more.
2. Google Navigation - although comes shipped in UK.
3. MyPlayer - BBC iPlayer.
4. AppKiller - although this is the only task manager i have tried so far.
5. EsFileExplorer - again the only one tried so far.
6. XDA app - nice interface and faster than using the browser.
7. ColourUp - i love editing photos and this is pretty cool.
8. Google SkyMap - works brilliantly.
9. Swype - only just started using this, for me it's brilliant.
Ok, there's my keepers for now, how about yours? I've not really found any great games that fit will on the screen yet although i'm liking Winds Of Steel.
Same as yours really, but would like to add Astro file explorer - great for installing apps outside market. And if you like reading as much as i do Laputa is a awesome ebook reader with ipad style bookshelf and page turning and loads of online books.
Tried quite a few games and at the mo playing Zenonia little rpg ala zelda which is a nice enough. Game Boid is a great emulator for all those classics. Mazeoid is a free pac man game runs great on the streak.
Im experimenting with different keyboards, the dell one works great but the numpad throws off the whole symmetry. Ive tried smart keyboard which is quite nice with lots of skins, but i found it slow so went back. Any suggestions would be very welcome...
Gonna add a new one as of yesterday....kindle reader.
just bought a couple of books and woopee for some reason you can buy them at american prices. Lot cheaper than the UK store/mobipocket etc.
Oh yeah and Rockplayer...rocks...will probably be my first 'purchased' app once it get's released (I've not had a need for anything else that requires paying for yet.)
oops. forgot I don't play many games but Bonsai Blast is really addictive and fits the screen great.

Great, was looking for a decent ebook reader for the ebooks i already have, I also think the numeric keypad is a dumb thing - not thought about as it forces you to hold the streak lob-sided to type, as you, still looking for a decent alternative.

Yep, kindle reader looks lovely, but can't get it to work with the ebooks i "bought" from other sources. Will give the bonsai blast a try. Cheers.

Nice find, buy them cheap while you can
Gave Bonsai Blast a go and i agree looks great and a pretty fun and adictive thanks.
Kindle looks good but like Guest69 i have a collection of ebooks i need to be able to import, maybe this will be possible later...
Also found a few good widgets. Htc smooth calendar (other one was buggy) looks great, matching the dell theme better then the default and shows 3 appointments. VolumeWidget is on my home screen, gives you 3 buttons for preset volume profiles.
Finally the Zedge app is like the app store of ringtones, has search, preview and install functions. Theres also a wallpaper section, but i havent tried it as i have made my own seamless sets like the o2 wallpapers (cut up and resized some high res dual monitor wallpapers) ill post some here when i get a minute.
My favorite book reader is aldiko, and it has limited support for importing books as well as long as they are epub format.
Hi all,
Well I've had my Streak now for a little over 3 weeks and have now flashed my first custom Rom which comes Rooted and with Superuser permissions plus has allowed me to remove from the Rom the apps i had no need for.
So here are my installed apps in no particular order.
Astro File Manager: can be used to install apps that come as apk's as opposed to from the market
Barcode Scanner: easy way to install apps form QR codes or just reading Bar codes
3G Watchdog: Monitors your data use over 3G you can set your allowance and it will monitor and alert you
Live Calender: Will bring up upcoming Appointments on your Home screen
F1 Pocket 2010: all you need to stay up to date with F1
Moto GP Pocket 2010: all you need to stay up to date with Moto GP
iSyncr for PC: Easy transfer and sync of iTunes to your Streak
Google Sky Map: Map of the Stars and Planets
Engadget: Widget with scrolling updates
SystemPanelLite Task Manager:Shows you CPU and Memory use
myPlayer: BBC iPlayer
ShootMe: Screen Shots for Rooted devices
Speedtest.net Speed Test
Rock Player: Plays DivX Avi and many other formats in great quality.
Co Pilot Live: Sat Nav with POI'S and Speed Cameras
Gentle Alarm: Great Multiple Alarm app with some unique nice features
Seven Push E-Mail: Real time Push E-Mail with full folder support
Cloud List:Great: shopping or other list app also on line lists that can be shared with others
Tapatalk Pro: handy tool for posting on Forums
TVCatchup Mobile Live TV Streaming with lots of UK channels
Fring: Skype and IM chat app includes Skype Video chat
Superuser Permissions: allows rooted apps permission
Boot Explorer: File explorer and more for Rooted devices
Root Booter: Easy Normal, Recovery or Bootloader Reboot options
Boot Manager: Control over various options and apps on your device
Swype: simply the best keyboard and typing experience ever IMHO
I should mention although System Panel Lite is a task manager that's not what I'm using it for as it also shows CPU and Memory use along with all your Active applications and Inactive cached applications. Personally I'm just not using a task killer or killing any apps at all.
Wow having now made this list i can't believe just how many apps i have installed so far just as well the Streak comes with 2GB for installing them on.
Marc
is there a good Weather app out there
Is there an android application for windows live mail? I haven't found one.

@ Dogman, Mate whats the name of the Barcode reader you use thanks
Hi lufc
It's called Barcode Scanner and it works better then any I've ever used before literally as soon as you frame the QR code it identifies it and gives gives you the option to open the browser which actually opens the download store with the app ready to just hit for download. It still amazes me very time i use it to download a new app just how fast and simple it makes the whole procedure.

wifinder- neat little app
barcode scanner
osmtracker- useful for updating openstreetmap or gps logging
Vespucci - for ondevice osm editing

floating image - ultra cool way of showing pictures
layar - more for showing off
laputa
Mytracks - works with runsaturday.com (via email)
Imeasy -fbchat

My FAVORITE app is Swype. A month ago they were letting people download the app again and I got it for my Nexus One .. I loved it because for some reason I was having a horrible time typing .. When I first got my Streak I typed on it for about 15 minutes and then downloaded Swype again and that is ALL I ever use. I made it the default program for any text and you can always type letter by letter if you are having problems with a certain word. On YouTube there are several GREAT instructional videos on swyping from the maker. I am pretty sure I am getting faster swyping than I was typing on my iphone.
Double post...
Thanks for the barcode scanner tip Marc, its real fast and accurate definitely a keeper.
ROFL @ "XDA_devs is rapidly becoming the McDs of the winmo world, sadly full of rude chavs demanding crap immediately.. "
As for swype, I gave it a try but I wasnt impressed, guess its a preference thing but I can type fast as hell in landscape with a normal kb so long as it can keep up. I found with swype it takes much more finger movement to type each word and you have to look at what you are doing more, not to mention smearing crap all over the screen...
Im still searching for a good alternative to dells stock kb, tried everything in the market with mixed results, but I think I'll just wait till the froyo update and try the ported htc multitouch kb.
@Cypher84
If you mess around with the settings for Swype you can change how long the trace shows for and the same for word prediction i have reduced the time for both which i have found has made the world of difference. Also now Swype has learnt most of my most commonly typed words I'm finding it incredibly fast and accurate and also it's quite forgiving if your not totally accurate. Also for the suggested word to be put in you just start the next word so now after just a short while using Swype it defiantly is my by far preferred method of text input. But like anything just because it's best for me doesn't mean it has to be for everyone else.

I had the same problem but you just need to do this
After you have installed and enabled swype
Open a text input box (what I do is open up the browser, go to google and then hold my finger down in the google search box)
Hold your finger down in this box until a menu appears "Input method"
select Input Method and then it should give you an option of Swype or Android Keyboard, select swype and now it will use that as default
Hope this helps

Hey to all!
I'm interested in the streak with regards to what the Apps look like. I'm a Nexus One owner and I played with a Dell Streak in an O2 shop.
The demo steak only had one game on it, Paper Toss. Now the app didn't display on the full length of the 5" screen. It was squashed.
I'm keen to know if there is a way to make the app, for example Paper Toss, Stretch to the full length of the screen. Or is this down to the Developer adjusting the app itself?
Apps I currently use on my N1 that i'd like to know if you use them on your Streak and what do they look like?
They are:
Facebook
Twitter
Fruit Ninja
Dolphin Browser HD
ebay
Dictionary.com
eBuddy
Egg Timer Pro
GTasks
LockBot Pro
London City (Tube Map)
London Tube Status
Nose Candy
Notepad
Pac-Man
Paper Toss
Photoshop Express
Power Manager
Quick App Clean Cache
RockPlayer
Set CPU
Shazam
Shootme
Travel Check
UK Lotto
WeatherBug Elite
WikiDroid
XDA
Zedge
And any other apps for that matter? My post may be a bit overkill.

XDA doesn't display properly, keeps showing lots of adverts, very annoying or what
Have XDA given an explanation as to why the app now has ads??
Poor show on there part.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Paper Toss looks great... an update some weeks ago fixed the screen size issue
First, there is an "adFree" app on the market to remove adverts YOU MUST BE ROOTED tho.
Now apps n games. (I use LCD density of 120, default is 160)
default facebook app runs nice on streak running beta froyo 2.2, on 2.1 ran nice and never tried with 1.6.
Fruit Ninja runs full screen and it is pretty accurate if you are the ninja that swipes the finger side to side like there is no surface to rub on.
Dolphin browser HD wont work on 1.6, on 2.1 worked flawless and same goes for 2.2
ebay app - I use PKT auctions I like it better and works full screen.
Rockplayer works fine on 2.1 only thing is when you run full screen it is a little bit pixelated. Haven't tried 2.2 but will probably be the same.
those are the ones I've use in the list.
You can run all apps on full screen "the way it should" by changing the LCD density to something like 180 or 200 that way you will use same dpi as Nexus for example altho this will make your icons/buttons ultra big and you will feel like a midget using a galaxy tab as phone.
Hope it helps.

Judging by the market these days, that app would itself contain adds
Can someone please explain how to change the dpi on a dell streak? Ive searched and couldnt find an explanation. I read to change the build.prop, but I dont see lcd density anywhere in the file. The free app on the market didnt work either. I am on android 2.1
Download LCD Density Changer via market place, default is 160, increase in lots of 20, I have tried this on my Streak both 180 & 200 looked great but when trying to use Aldiko ebook reader pages blend into each other.
Here are the apps I have been using that look great on the Streak running 2.2.
Tweetdeck
Pocket Informant (Beta)
Glympse
Sygic Mobile Maps
Facebook
Shazam
Moxier Exchange email
RockPlayer
LauncherPro Plus
Winamp
Bump
Angry birds (looks great)
Assassin's Creed

Mini Gore
Fruit Ninja (very addictive)
Hero of Sparta
Barcode Scanner
Engadget
eFile
ES File Explorer
Aldiko Premium
Documents To Go

Opera Mobile Beta 10.1
Root Explorer
Well thats most of the Apps I use.

Posted via iPad 3G
Sorry: Due To Strong Demand We Cannot Provide Service At This Time. Please Try Again Later., In Windows Mobile 6 and 6.5 is the message you are going to get if you are a skyfire user now. This been like this for the last 2 days now.
I don't know if we the windows mobile users have been turn off to get the big sale for the iphone, i will be removing skyfire from my phone for reason of no reply on the truth on why we have been turn off. I believe someone is not supporting beta anymore.
I have the same problem since yesterday! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, unfortunately they have just launched their iPhone and iPad version for the app store.
To try to handle the load of new users on their server farms, they have basically said f-off to the WinMo and Symbian users.
Here's a link showing how well they are doing with iPhoney sales in the app store.

Damn.. Kudos to them haha. Anyways, use uZard.
skyfire has turned off winmo and symbian access
from one of their forum mods in their support section:
All the platforms run on one server, After the high demand for skyfire on iphone's for now Windows has been turned off on the server end. I can't give you a exact time period as to when we'll be back up again, All I can say is soon.
http://support.skyfire.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5981
oh well, I will never use it on any phone I get in the future. To turn off the servers for the people that built their reputation is pretty crappy. I hope they can't keep up with demand and get a bad reputation on the iphone.
why the **** i have to connect to a server if i only want to use the f****** browser. they should remove the online bookmark function at least give it a offline modus. they whole browser is still very suspect to me. simply let us use the browser like every ither developer and dont force us to go online before we evev load a webpage and make money with our surfbehaviors. anyways browser is great, but only if you can use it, without synchronising your bookmarks and whatever furthrt at stsrtup...

I think that's because Skyfire is basically an Internet Proxy - it accesses the real pages, optimises them for size & speed and serves them back to the local browser as a Skyfire friendly page that renders quickly.
So no server, no browser, basically.
...and careful with the language please!
Well I for one am never gonna use skyfire again. Never thought it was that good any way apart from flash. uZardWeb is way faster in the uk. I think skyfire really dont see that there is competition out there and not just from uZardWeb. Wish I never gave them support with skyfire when they started out.
Skyfire doesn't give a damn about Windows Mobile... They dropped the platform (notice how there no version 2.0 for WM). They made no money with it (it was free), its dying platform and their code wouldn't work in WP7 (due to the stupid "no native code" support... imagine rewriting everything in C# for free and such a small niche).
Lot's of Apple idiots/fanboys in the world (it's a fing status symbol/icon). With the iPhone/iPad version I assume they are getting more traffic than they can handle right now. Anyway the only reason they are getting this much attention is Apple's anti-flash tantrum...
PS: I hate the uZard Project. uZard Media player is a slightly modified TCPMP version (worse than bimbam's by the way)... They didn't release the sources and didn't respond to my mail requesting it. I hope Core nails them for copyright infringement.
well, uzard could be good, but as i see some 'trial period over' it makes me go away.
Oh, btw, skyfire s**k big time.
Same here, so just un-installed it. Sod them,life goes on.

they didn't have to give winmo a 2.0 update, just a 1.6 update that fixed the video playback issues. Skyfire 1.x is based on IE6 (I think) which is no longer supported by most built video plugins. That is why video died.
And now to have been cut off completely from the servers.....
Alternative browsers?
Its been 4 days and i already miss having built in video web pages. I have come to my senses and going to delete skyfire for good. Right now im using opera mini and opera mobile for my browsing satisfication, but no built in video i could live without it, but are there any alternative browsers that can do the same thing?
This is one of many reasons why cloud computing sucks

Uzard wasn't good enough .. Is there an updated version somewhere?
any.option.to.replace.Skyfire?
Thank you guys for posting this thread and information.
I allways went to Sky Fire in the morning to read the news and stuff.
I was wondering what the happened to the server.
I now know why.
So I deleted Sky Fire and installed this Uzard Browser.
It works, but video is shoppy and browser is not as fast as Opera, but the colors and graphics is much better.
Skyfire is done with WM just like other companys dishing out software. They are all waitin for WP7. The only company I've seen that has the balls & courtesy to admit it was NIMBUZZ. Their site actually doesn't even offer WM downloads anymore and says they will resume work when the WP7 platform is ready. Look around all the well known programs that are cross platform and u will notice IPHONE & ANDROID have been getting updatest but not WM. Even the news station in my area says no more updates for the near future when tryin to download their news app. If everyone was not so materialistic and only cared about the new cool device these companies would keep supportin WM but they are just doin what the consumer wants them to do. They make more money from IPHONE & ANDROID so ofcourse thats where their attention is focused & till WP7 comes they will keep sayin "**** WINDOWS MOBILE!" Its all about money.
Well, it's kind of disappointing, but it's not like I paid for it (like the iphone users are doing).
You can use TCPMP as the player for UZard. I don't remember the exact trick, but I think if you open tcpmp up first, then open a vid on uzard, it will play through tcpmp, which is better because the skin on the uzard player is crap.
I thought I'd make this list of Apps that i find very usefull on my tab.
Most of them are optimized for tablet resolution. I'm looking forward to seeing your suggestions to add them to the list.
I will try to go off the beaten path a little, and not suggest the apps everyone knows about anyhow
ASUS Supernote (Free)
This is the notetaking app that comes with the transformer...and its friggin awesome! You can't get it in the market so you have to sideload it. So far i have found no notetaking app that works as well as this one does!
ComicRack (Free/5,99€)
So you like to read comics? This is in my eyes the best comicreader hands down!
It really shines if you use it in combination with the comicrack program for pc. You can sync your libraries, read status, and lots of other stuff. The paid version offers wifi sync but the free version works perfectly fine! The dev is very supportive and open to suggestions. If you like comics, check this out!
Feedly (Free)
Great RSS reader. Tight integration with GoogleReader. A joy to look at.
BubbleUPNP (Free/3,49€)
This is my UPNP player of choice. I have a homeserver running XBMC providing all my TVshows and Movies and bubbleUPNP does a great job without a lot of hassle streaming them to the tab. The free version works great aswell!
Mantano Reader (Free/3,99€)
After trying a lot of e-readers I finally settled with this one. It has a nice interface, simple controls and quite a bit of customizability. Plus it supports epud and pdf formats, incase you get your books from "somewhere else"
Facedroid (1,25€)
My facebook app of choice for the tablet. Still being actively developed with very nice devs. Any Bugs? Write them and it will probably be fixed tomorrow!
Total Commander (Free)
Maybe you know this from Windows. Its a very advanced and powerfull file manager and there is a beta version for android! Pretty awesome app, with two pane view which makes copying and moving stuff about pretty easy! Not in the market, must be sideloaded but can be downloaded directly at the developers site.
Will post some more when I get the time.
Hope you find something usefull here.

If you have a Google Voice account, GrooveIP is pretty awesome. Turns your tablet into a mobile phone. Incoming and outgoing calls.

TextPlus
Its a free text messaging service, just because im too lazy to use my phone or my brother is using my phone. Textfree doesn't support tablets but this does and it syncs over devices and even gives a few free calling minutes.

But only any good if you have a 3g version of the tablet, not wi-fi only?

The app works perfectly fine on both my smartphone a rather weak LG Optimus V and my tablet the overpowered Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 wifi
i have the wifi only tablet and it works perfectly fine for me.
quick boot
I.like quick boot because i dont have to press the power button to turn off the tab or go to the boot load,recovery,ect,ect,ect....
I searched the forum to see if there's any threads on this topic and found none so decided to create one. Eventhough we don't have some iphone apps, we still have some awesome apps so i've compiled a list of "must have" apps and games.
-ADOBE FLASH!! (obviously the first thing that came to my mind lol)
-Facebook
-Twitter
-Skype
-Viber - Call and Text anyone around the world for free!!!!
-Mx Video player - fast, no lag and great features

-Evernote- take all my class notes and they're all synced
-Osmos HD- beautiful game just beautiful
-Wind up Knight- Really addicting and fun game
-juice defender- did a great job improving my battery life
-dropbox- store photos, videos and docs and access them on any computer/device
-tunein- the best radio app i've ever used
-amazon app store- free paid app everyday!!!!

-N64oid- play your favorite childhood games
-Dead Space- Another stunning and horrifying game
-Cover art downloader- downloads missing album art work
-Google+ - good competition to facebook and personally my favorite
-Cut my Rope- a simple and cute puzzle game

-Tapatalk- keep track of forums
-Dolphin Browser- fast, easy and lots of features like gestures, voice, etc.
-Vlingo- closest thing to Siri and better than google voice search
-Netflix- watch movies on your phone
-WhatsApp- first year is free and you can call/text using wifi or 3g
-Zenonia series- awesome bunch of rpg games
-Destinia- Another high class action RPG
thats about all I can think of but if you guys use any awesome apps that are not mentioned then feel free to share.
I hope this thread will bring out some hidden apps and make users more aware of how they can take advantage of their hardware and get more use out of their phones.
Thanks

This app list is clutch. I personally don't use my amaze for heavy gaming since the phone on standby is a battery killer, but I do enjoy games of Elemental and Chuchu Rocket from time to time.

That's true, the battery goes down faster when it's on standby than when the screen is on and running

Have you tried the Energy ROM? My phone lasted over 24 hrs with minimal to moderate use.
For playing video files, RockPlayer is a must have. U wont find a video player thats better, especially in terms of supported video types. It will play almost any video type u throw at it, even .avi and .mkv files, which most android video players don't support.

Not installing to much because I will be doing some new ROMs soon.
To those posting app suggestions. Thank you very much for sharing your best finds.
It would be very helpful however if you would include a very brief description of what they do. For example Jefit and Intonow, among others, mean nothing to me. I know I can look them up, but it would save a lot of people a lot of time looking up apps it turns out they don't have any use for.
Thanks again for all the cool new apps. My phone is burning up from the downloads.

Don't be lazy man, I spent the last few years trying out and testing new apps. The least you can do is a simple search

Really? If you knew me you'd know that I'm anything but lazy. There are more than 50 apps listed (so far). The OP took the time to include a couple of words to tell what the apps are for. HE wasn't lazy. It was just a suggestion. One that I suspect everyone who reads this thread would also appreciate. I DO appreciate your list of apps, just trying to make it better for all.
C'mon guys. Marleyfan's got a point. I'll edit mine...
For the record... I am kinda lazy

4shared - find loads of shared apps
Cloud Print - print from your phone to your a printer on your network
Hanging Free - like words with friends meets hangman
IMDB - what was the name of that guy who played (character) in (movie)?
N64oid - N64 emulator
SoundHound - better than Shazam
Tim Hortons - a Canadian must have

have you ever run miui? no lie, i think its the best os out there. im more of a themer, creative, artsy kind of guy, so with customization options almost limitless in miui, it my favorite. plus its aosp, so its light on system resources and great for battery life. i miss miui so bad....
@glacierguy, I assume you're running Logmein Pro of some sort to be able to stream music / video? I've got Ignition and all my clients are using the free version...
Thanks.
