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

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
Cheers

Thought we would start an Apps Corner so we can share what we think are essential apps or just apps you think are good and Games.
Please if you post in here do not just post saying that app is no good i think this one is better.
If you think that then tell us a bit about the app and a link to the app so we can all have a look, otherwise it will be pages and pages of wasted posts.
I will kick it off

Bit embarrassed about this one as I tried it when I first got my streak and dismissed it far too quickly. its now my favorite app!
you know all those lovely books you grabbed in laputa? ** imagine reading them in either landscape or portrait with whatever layout you want. that's the start, then imagine sticking it in night mode and setting what colour you want the text to be. then decide you really want the backlight much darker than either Dell and lapses will let you go. slide your finger down the left edge if the screen.. genius!
Flick page left turns it, no fuss, no scrabbling around in the bottom corner trying to Flick the page.change the page animation speed, change pretty much everything..
**copy any epub book to /sdcard/ebooks/import and enjoy them in comfort

The apps I can't do without, and to be frank they've saved the streak for me
GOOGLE LISTEN automated download of subscriptions just add to your queue and listen, need to spend time finding good stuff to listen to but there's plenty out there. This week in google is always god for a laugh
ROCK PLAYER watching films on the streak is a must, currently the only app that doesn't need mass conversion of your film library
SWYPE keyboard is a must the stock keyboard was/is terrible, I spent ages correcting errors now I have a keyboard that I can tap or swype and get good results.
ENGADGET reads a dream on the streak
NEWS PRO THOMPSON REUTERS all types of news under one roof
That's it I'm afraid i expected more from such an open platform. I could do more with a jailbroken iphone than with android 1.6. I hope that will change soon.

RockPlayer - The ARMv7 version is the one for the Streak - Love this
I have just stumbled across this app that plays AVI files and as their are not many out their that do that i thought i put the link up
http://www.appbrain.com/app/sns.arcMedia.playerInterface.arm6
PS i havent tried it yet so if someone does please share it with us
interesting, the 1.6 firmware photo&video is by arcsoft media ...
obviously a coincidence of naming..
as this is based on FFMpeg I'd imagine it will be able to handle quite a few codecs eventually.
however looks like this specific version is compiled for arm6 processors, (the appbrain link name suggests it) so maybe a v7 version would be a bit better.
Barcode Scanner
One of those apps i would gladly pay for

AirReg - Interesting for those looking for info on the plane they're about to get on.
Galcon - Fun game ($)
GPSTest - Interesting while sitting on planes (especially in a window seat).

Quick question, what USB mode is your Streak in when transfer video files
from Amazon. I havnt got it to work yet?
Thanks!
psx4droid: bit limited on what works, but WRC Arcade version and Colin McRae Rally 2.0 (and i presume 1.0) work!!
Kindle is excellent on the Streak.
Don't understand why people aren't using the built in video player? Having said that, I'm using DVD conversions I did for my old X1 and that was a swine to convert for. h264 mpeg I think?
Copilot is superb, google maps with streetview and traffic layer is a godsend.
And, for anyone who has an OBDII compliant car, "Torque" is a great bit of software. You get a bluetooth OBDII adapter from ebay for around 25 quid and now you have diagnostics (including reading and clearing fault codes) for your car!! £2? The guy could charge £10 and it'd be well worth it!!
Being a photographer, "Photo Tools" is a very handy application
And for music, through bluetooth in my car, Mort Player is great - especially if you add the widget. It even responds to the steering wheel controls for next and previous track!

I launched Amazon Unbox player, connected the Streak, and selected Media files. After a minute or so, I was able to see the Streak, after refreshing the devices in Unbox. Good luck!!
Found a good clock widget for the Streak, the surround looks similar to the standard streak icon surrounds so it matches them pretty good.http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-davidgoemans-simpleclockwidget-zAtq.aspx
Weather forecast widget, only used this for a coupls of days, seems pretty accurate, battery use was good with 3% over 8 hrs (set to update every 6)

I have tested and it does work over wifi with the Streak. Still in alpha but it does have promise.
I downloaded Skype but for some reason it just freezes the streak. Im sure its skype. I know skype haven't releashed a Dell Streak Version. I installed system tools and my memory has gone upto 93%. even though I use task manager and also have 1.5gb free on internal.
I had to switch the screen off a few times to get the screen to respond to my touches sometimes had to restart (i've tried screen calibration) and when i finally got it to work went into settings --> application --> stopped skype and it works fine ... strange.. anyone else having the same problems?
Thanks
EDIT: UPDATED
HERE IS THE LIST OF MY TOP 20 USING THE FEEDBACK... JUST SENT IT TO CNET.
http://callip.wordpress.com/
Android apps are essential to the end-users experience. There are several categories of apps, but I am going to ignore some as they are limited in their scope (ie, apps that are games, or are only focused on those who root their phones).
.
I believe the average smartphone user is going to want to focus on improving the user interface (apps that are better than the stock apps that come on the phone), social apps (ie Twitter, texting, conferencing), and media apps (ie music, photos, news).
.
Below are those categories and the apps that I feel can improve the Android experience.
.
Disclaimer: There are hundreds of thousands of Android apps. This is in no way all inclusive and can change daily.
.
.
BETTER THAN THE STOCK ANDROID APPLICATIONS:
Text Messanging:
1 – Go SMS / Handcent SMS / Chomp SMS / Google Voice.
Okay, so I am starting off with THREE suggestions. Well, they are all better than the stock messenger, in their own regard. The average user can be complacent with the stock messaging app, it does send texts and MMS (ie pictures) just fine after all, but for the user who wants more, these are the apps to try.
To be fair, Google Voice should not be lumped in here as it does so much. This app should be on every Android device, period.
.
Browser:
2 – Dolphin Browser HD / Skyfire / Miren
Wait, three more suggestions? Yeap. Why? Because their all awesome in their own regard. The stock browser I find fantastic, it does what you need and does it well. Again though, Android allows the user to do a lot more.
Dolphin is great because of tabbed browsing, gestures (finger swipes to open bookmarks for example) and multi-touch.
Skyfire emphasizes playing video – even those that are not compatible with Android.
Miren is extremely fast, minimalistic UI, and a lot of neat features (scrolling with the volume button, swipes to go forward/backward, etc).
.
Gallery:
3 – QuickPic
I hate the stock android gallery. It is a CPU hog, slow to load and limited in features. It is frankly my least favorite part of Android. QuickPic by Alensw (there are several apps with that name) is amazing. It is extremely fast to load, you can exclude certain albums from displaying, very high resolution/image quality, and built in editing tools (ie cropping, rotating, etc).
.
The Launcher (your homescreen):
4 – ADW EX / LauncherPro / Go Launcher EX
There I go again, three suggestions. Most of these have similar features, but each have unique features. I prefer ADW EX because it allows me to use swipe gestures to open my notifications or to open a second hidden dock bar (a place to stash commonly opened apps). This allows my homescreen to be less cluttered. You can customize the layout a lot more as well (ie, instead of the standard 4×4 layout, you can make it as much as 10×10), overlap widgets, infinite scrolling, change animations, etc. The list of options go on and on. I strongly suggest trying a new launcher.
.
Camera:
5 – CameraZoom FX / Camera360 / Retro Camera / Little Photo
All of these apps have features above and beyond the stock camera. I prefer Retro Camera because it is free and it also has a very unique UI. I can take some pretty spectacular photos with it, with very little effort. I’m a sucker for black and white photos that have a vintage look though.
A reader also suggested Little Photo – which seems wildly popular but was not known by me – NICE!
.
Music:
6 – PowerAMP / UberMusic / TuneIn Radio / Google Music / Amazon MP3
Again, each have unique qualities. PowerAMP is great in that it plays most anything and has an equalizer. UberMusic is just sexy. TuneIn Radio allows you to stream music from all over the world. Google Music is great for its cloud capabilities – I love having my music sync and not be stored on precious memory space. Amazon MP3 also has cloud capabilities and offers free music.
.
Dialer / Contacts:
7 –Go Contacts EX
Not every Android has a smart dialer (when you start typing a phone number or contact name, it filters out your results). I find that hard to believe. Go Contacts EX not only has a great smart dialer, but the UI is great too. You can swipe left to right to change from the dialer to contacts for instance. The app can also be themed by simply downloading themes from the Market (most of which are also free)
.
Photos:
8 – TouchRetouch / PicSay Pro / Little Photo
We talked about the Camera and the Gallery, but what about editing photos? Ever have something in your shot that you wish wasn’t there. TouchRetouch is essentially a magic eraser for your photos. It’s pretty brilliant for an app on your phone and can easily remove objects.
PicSay Pro is more of an effects tool. It allows a tremendous amount of customization to your photos.
.
Keyboards:
9 – Swype Beta / Swiftkey X
Swype is hands down the most revolutionary keyboard out. I was afraid of moving to a phone with no physical keyboard, till I tried Swype. The beta is open and free, and it’s the best keyboard out, in my opinion. Do yourself a favor and register now. Most know that Swype allows you to move from letter to letter (not peck each letter), but it also has a tremendous amount of features. I’ve got a huge guide on this, please contact me if interested. Swiftkey X is another revolutionary keyboard in a different sense. It actively seeks the NEXT word you would type, and it learns as you type. So, the more you use it, the more accurately it can predict your next word. I’ve written entire sentences by simply selecting the word it thought I would use. These are both amazing and something I am certain an iPhone would love to have (avoiding some of the famous auto-correct iPhone typo blunders).
.
.
SOCIAL APPS:
Disclaimer: I despise FaceBook, but their app seems very feature rich with a decent UI.
.
10 – Plume
I’ve tried every twitter app out there, and none can touch the power of Plume. Feature rich it won’t let you down. Get this if you use Twitter, or start using twitter if you do not already! I’ve found it to be the best way to get brief bits of news information catered to me. So much so that it’s now my favorite feature of a smartphone.
.
11 – GroupMe
A completely free way to keep in contact with a group. Send text messages (with your data plan – not a traditional text message), share photos, conference calling, etc. This is a powerful app that could serve teenagers to the executive on business trips.
.
12 – Google+
Say what it really is, a FaceBook killer. Google hit a homerun with their social network in my opinion, and the app is feature rich. Want to have private conversations, or share with the world? Want to instantly sync photos taken from your phone? Want to use an alternate messenger or video chat with up to 9 people? Get it.
.
.
TRAVEL APPS:
13 – Google Maps
The features of Maps is pretty robust, but it is the Navigation that is its strong point in my opinion. I had two Garmin GPS units that became junk when I got my first Android phone. Not only did the Navigation work better (accuracy of turn by turn directions) from my phone, but the GPS signal was more accurate. You can also use Places to find and rate places and Lattitude to locate friends near you.
.
14 – Worldmate
Short and sweet, a must if you travel a lot. Forward your confirmation emails and it groups all of your itinerary into an incredibly simple package. Organize your plans, change your itinerary, share your itinerary with people, get flight alerts or check on a flight, get reminders, it locates hotels near you and even brings in the weather. Seriously, if you travel, try this!
.
.
MISCELLANEOUS APPS:
15 – Beautiful Widgets / Fancy Widgets
Another benefit of Android is the widgets – an easy to find and attractive thing to have on your homescreen with relevant information. I enjoy knowing the time and weather near me, and these apps give it accurately and in an attractive way that can be easily themed to my liking.
.
16 – Alarm Clock Plus
If you use your smartphone as your alarm, for lunch or sleep – this is the one to try. Feature rich and known as one of the best. This will be better than the stock Alarm on the phone and incorporates weather.
.
17 – Amazon’s Appstore
There are many nice features about Amazon’s Appstore, including their review process (added security perhaps over the Android Market), but lets be honest… its best feature is that they offer a paid app for free every day. Sometimes these apps are pretty amazing too. On more than one occasion I have went and bought the app in the official Android Market when I wanted to show my support to a developer.
.
18 – Chrome to Phone
If you use Android, there is a strong chance Chrome is your browser on your PC. This dandy of an app allows you to press the button on your PC’s browser (using the Chrome to Phone extension), and instantly that page/document/download link will show on your phone. Amazingly simply and powerful.
.
19 – Wheres My Droid
Are you one that easily misplaces their phone? Once installed, this app lets you send a text to your phone if it’s misplaced to help locate it. What if you left your phone on silent… what if you are not near it? Well, not only does it turn the volume to max (just in case), but it also lets you get the GPS coordinates if you REALLY misplaced it. A must have on any Android in my opinion.
.
20 – Astro File Manager
With Android you have the ability to view and move files around. This is the best way to manage your files, make backups of important files, open zip/tar files, allow downloads from the browser, etc. Frankly, every Android phone should come with a file manager, but they do not. Even if your phone did come with a file manager, there is a strong chance that it is not as good as Astro File Manager.
.
.
This list is no way inclusive. There are MANY apps that I use daily that did not get a mention. Perhaps I will make an extended list with more categories next time. I would appreciate your feedback. If you know someone new to Android, shoot them a link to this… I’d love to hear what someone new to Android thought of this list.
CNet just tweeted their top 20, and I called them out for being terrible. I'd like to send them a link to this thread - where they can offer GOOD suggestions.

Below is the start to my article for CNET:
Top 20 Android Apps
Android apps are essential to the end-users experience. There are several categories of apps, but I am going to ignore some as they are limited in their scope (ie, apps that are games, or are only focused on those who root their phones).
I believe the average smartphone user is going to want to focus on improving the user interface (apps that are better than the stock apps that come on the phone), social apps (ie Twitter, texting, conferencing), and media apps (ie music, photos, news).
Below are those categories and the apps that I feel can improve the Android experience.
Disclaimer: There are hundreds of thousands of Android apps. This is in no way all inclusive and can change daily.
BETTER THAN THE STOCK ANDROID APPLICATIONS:
Text Messanging:
1 – Handcent SMS / Chomp SMS / Google Voice.
Okay, so I am starting off with THREE suggestions. Well, they are all better than the stock messenger, in their own regard. The average user can be complacent with the stock messaging app, it does send texts and MMS (ie pictures) just fine after all, but for the user who wants more, these are the apps to try.
Browser:
2 – Dolphin Browser HD / Skyfire / Miren
Wait, three more suggestions? Yeap. Why? Because their all awesome in their own regard. The stock browser I find fantastic, it does what you need and does it well. Again though, Android allows the user to do a lot more.
Dolphin is great because of tabbed browsing, gestures (finger swipes to open bookmarks for example) and multi-touch.
Skyfire emphasizes playing video – even those that are not compatible with Android.
Miren is extremely fast, minimalistic UI, and a lot of neat features (scrolling with the volume button, swipes to go forward/backward, etc).
Gallery:
3 – QuickPic
I hate the stock android gallery. It is a CPU hog, slow to load and limited in features. It is frankly my least favorite part of Android. QuickPic by Alensw (there are several apps with that name) is amazing. It is extremely fast to load, you can exclude certain albums from displaying, very high resolution/image quality, and built in editing tools (ie cropping, rotating, etc).
The Launcher (your home screen / desktop):
4 – ADW EX / LauncherPro / Go Launcher EX
There I go again, three suggestions. Most of these have similar features, but each have unique features. I prefer ADW EX because it allows me to use swipe gestures to open my notifications or to open a second hidden dock bar (a place to stash commonly opened apps). This allows my homescreen/desktop to be less cluttered. You can customize the layout a lot more as well (ie, instead of the standard 4x4 layout, you can make it as much as 10x10), overlap widgets, infinite scrolling, change animations, etc. The list of options go on and on. I strongly suggest trying a new launcher.
Camera:
5 – CameraZoom FX / Camera360 / Retro Camera
All of these apps have features above and beyond the stock camera. I prefer Retro Camera because it is free and it also has a very unique UI. I can take some pretty spectacular photos with it, with very little effort. I’m a sucker for black and white photos that have a vintage look though.
Music:
6 – PowerAMP / UberMusic / TuneIn Radio / Google Music
Again, each have unique qualities. PowerAMP is great in that it plays most anything and has an equalizer. UberMusic is just sexy. TuneIn Radio allows you to stream music from all over the world. Google Music is great for its cloud capabilities – I love having my music sync and not be stored on precious memory space.
I'd say Go SMS is the best (real) sms app out there right now, however I am planning to try the whole wifi texting thing soon.
Widgets in general. Colorize Widget and Android Pro Widgets (?) make great alternatives to LP+ widgets, I personally can't do without some form of calendar widget.
Pageonce. Great way to keep track of bills and multiple bank accounts. I have a personal account, a school account and a savings account and it's great to be able to see them broken down or just all the money summed up (and all my bills to keep track of).
Soundhound (or Shazam). I prefer the first, I don't use it much, but when I do I'm glad to have it
Business Calendar is great if you need a feature rich calendar. It has a really nifty preview on the month view of any give day's events, among many other improvements.
Evernote. I love that one for grocery lists and general reminders.
Goggles for QR codes.
Convertr and Andy 86 for the students and math geeks out there, they save time like crazy.
For college students: Search your school in the market. One guy from my school made an app that logs us into school wifi automatically and provides shortcut links to commonly used school sites.
A flashlight app. For obvious reasons.
---
Most people who read this will have no need for root things like Root Explorer and Titanium or Voodoo control. I say leave them out.
Wow I have most of those apps plus about 100 more. I'm a crazy teen that likes to play games
Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
I use most of these apps, but I just came across a good one. Gemini App Manager, it's similar to Titanium Backup but free. Every rooted user should check this one out.

*Requires root* Game CIH- use to edit game files can edit things like cash money points ETC but it's kinda hit and miss how it works is that u open it hit home (it'll stay open on the background) now open the game u wanna edit and there'll be a toast in the upper part of the screen hit the magnifying glass and search for what you wanna change you can search name or numbers search for a make example cash and see what u find but you won't necessarily find anything relevant since the dev probably didn't name it that if you need any help just comment or pm me or something

Go!Chat for Facebook
I didnt really used to talk to that much people on fb that much via messaging on a regular basis but i recently started talking to someone and wanted to receive notifications so long story short
Facebook app apparently doesn't give messaging notifications
Facebook messenger worked great the day I downloaded it then stopped the next day I kept checking to see if it was getting killed but wasn't just didn't wanna give notifications (why Facebook whhhy!)
Friendcaster is bad at any notifications all together so this was just 1 of them if I wanted to get proper notifications I'd need the pro version
Friendcaster Chat could only message people who were online and by online I mean on a computer if there on a phone won't work
this was the only 1 I've tried that worked

One Browser - a very nice browser indeed with good easy-to-use features, best I have tried yet and free!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS50ZW5jZW50LmliaWJvLm10dCJd
Cerberus anti-theft - yes it is paid app but worth it as the lifetime license covers 5 devices for less than £3 and it offers functions not available with Lookout Antivirus and similar apps - highly recommended.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sc2Ryb2lkLmNlcmJlcnVzIl0.
Astro File Manager - excellent file manager with built in tools like App Backup, Task Killer, integration with cloud storage like Dropbox and much more - well worth the adverts to get a great app for free!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tZXRhZ28uYXN0cm8iXQ..
Moon+ reader - superb book reader for .epub files and much more, currently not on Play store due to dirty tactics by another dev with an ebook app...more details on his site, download link below. If you can I would recommend paying for this one to get rid of the ads, well worth it and there is constant dev support but the free one works great too )
http://www.moondownload.com/download.html
TTS - IVONA Amy (GB English) voice beta and TTS HQ- both currently free while in Beta and working great, especially in combination with Moon+ Reader Pro  Also works with GMaps and several more voices/languages are available free too.

RAC Traffic - UK only RAC Traffic shows the nearest traffic problem to you, or by region via a Google map, has been accurate and useful so far in 4 weeks of use - and it's free!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJhY1RyYXZlbC5hcHAiXQ..
Met Office Weather Application - UK only Sick of your weather wiget giving you incorrect info? If you live in the UK then this is the best weather app around! Some text is very small on the Y but you get all the weather warnings, radar maps etc and it's accurate...most of the time.

Free Games I like...
Jewels - The classic match-3 game - now with prizes through "pocketchange" system (items for other games)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5taGdhbWVzLmpld2VscyJd
Jewels Legend - A more elaborate jewels game with over 300 levels and powerups etc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLmdhbWUuSmV3ZWxzTGVnZW5kIl0.
Jewels Star - More than 350 levels of sparkly gem matching goodness...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmdhbWUuSmV3ZWxzU3RhciJd
Furries - This is just an addictive little physics game where you have to catapult cute "furries" as far as you can...use trampolines and planes to get further but avoid the barrels! Note: If you block the ads this game will crash. To get to the ingame Shop wait for the advert to load and then carefully tap and scroll the page up (tap at the edge not on the ad!) - it only scrolls a tiny bit but when you can see the white line at the bottom of the screen you are good ) Tap the white line and you will get to the shop - damn the small screen on the Y lol

I doubt because this phone couldn't even run zeonia 4 (at least not that I know of) and the trend with devs is to improve graphics making it even less likely they completely forget about armv6 processors and QVGA screens

*Requires root* Game CIH- use to edit game files can edit things like cash money points ETC but it's kinda hit and miss how it works is that u open it hit home (it'll stay open on the background) now open the game u wanna edit and there'll be a toast in the upper part of the screen hit the magnifying glass and search for what you wanna change you can search name or numbers search for a make example cash and see what u find but you won't necessarily find anything relevant since the dev probably didn't name it that if you need any help just comment or pm me or something

Go!Chat for Facebook
I didnt really used to talk to that much people on fb that much via messaging on a regular basis but i recently started talking to someone and wanted to receive notifications so long story short
Facebook app apparently doesn't give messaging notifications
Facebook messenger worked great the day I downloaded it then stopped the next day I kept checking to see if it was getting killed but wasn't just didn't wanna give notifications (why Facebook whhhy!)
Friendcaster is bad at any notifications all together so this was just 1 of them if I wanted to get proper notifications I'd need the pro version
Friendcaster Chat could only message people who were online and by online I mean on a computer if there on a phone won't work
this was the only 1 I've tried that worked

How did you get the network spoofer working on your defy?
I always get the error:
Something went wrong whilst trying to load. Perhaps the SD card isn't plugged in, or you didn't accept the superuser command? Check the log for more details.
And of course, I've granted su rights...
Wi-Fi Mac address changer doesn't work on Defy and I haven't found an app that works.
ClockSync
Hi,
I really like ClockSync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.org.amip.ClockSync
As it fills the (ununderstandable) lack of connectivity to a time server.
empty
there some interesting apps. I already a lot of them, but I'll try some others. Thanks.
