QuickPic https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder

It's already been mentioned a couple of times in this thread but I'll give it another mention since it's easy for things to get lost under the volume of posts. This is a great alternative to sense gallery and it's much much better than the android gallery. Quite simply it's very fast at loading images and very smooth when scrolling. Big thumbs up from me.

I like it but I want the icon on my desktop to be the same as the normal gallery one, have the ability in the launcher to change but can't find the darned icon!!

Get the Koenigsegg and upgrade all powers to 5,5,2,5,1,5 level 8 (poss to improve this but keep to level 8)

Then win 90% of all your face to face races and collect the RP and money. I now have a hennessey at level 10 maxed out but kept the Koenigsegg to race and keep the money flowing while I upgraded it.

I've found upgrading any car is pointless, racing on-line in equal cars and buy the cheapest desired level car much more productive than spending £££ on expensive upgrades. (I was rather annoyed that my GT-r shot to the next level with 3 upgrades when it really shouldn't have!)
It would be better if buying upgrades were not so expensive both in cash and RP's :(
Fantastic game that just needs a few more tweak.

And another cheers from me! Just installed this, and it is indeed a nice improvement over the stock Android gallery on my SGS.
 
There is a T Mobile UK app out now, not sure how long it's been out as last time I looked there was only the US one. Might be useful to some.
 
I wonder if anyone can help, I have a Motorola Dext and im trying to get IMDB and Flightracker24 on it but they don't appear in the market on the phone.

Tried installing them direct from appbrain with Opera on my phone but it just trys to take me to the market where it says it can't find them again.
 
What is Launcher Pro for? Do I need it?

So far I have all the Samsung included stuff plus:

Youtube
Shazam
Barcode Scanner
BBC iPlayer
eBuddy
Musical Pro
xPiano+
Handcent SMS
SMS Popup
Google Sky Map
Pubtran
Wapedia
Journey Pro (I like the Tube Status Widget)
RAC Traffic
TrafficEye
BBC News
Rail Planner Live (Great widget)
Soccer Scores Pro (Fotmob)
Reuters News Pro
BBC Sport News
Sky News
ConnectBot
Telnet
Terminal Emulator
Wavesecure

What the heck is Kies Air for? :S EDIT: Googled it. Nvm.

Any must have Widgets? Widgets are gooooood. :)

Clever use for dropbox I saw.

Set utorrent or similar to monitor your dropbox for .torrent files and set auto start and disable that file box that comes up.

Then using your android phone + dropbox you can download a torrent and have it automagically start on your home computer!
 
Torrents?


*spits*


I remote control Sabnzbd and send downloads directly to it from Android :D
 
Enabled the correct API URL + key? Also forward the right ports within your LAN from router and assign a static local IP to your NZB box? :D

:o

No idea, mainly because I suck at networking. But when I'm home on the weekend I will try and understand it all :p
 
Might seem stupid considering that it's a bit obvious, but Opera Mobile is fantastic; for viewing heavy pages, its performance is incredible. These forums, for example, are impossible to view on the stock browser, or Dolphin, or Firefox Mobile...but on Opera, they are silky smooth, and scroll like a dream.

Other ones are Seesmic, which I find is far nicer to use than Tweetdeck, and for those that use Launcher Pro...try increasing your memory allowance in the Advanced Settings, improves performance massively (hey, the maximum memory usage I've ever seen is 215 MB, I might as well be generous :D).
