Essential Android Apps

[EniGmA1981]

Yeah, I got 'similar' on my Galaxy Portal on cm6.1.0-spica-alpha6.2

Meh it's annoying when an app is taken off the market, I've bought a good few apps that are no longer available

I had that a while back with the Mens Health app ( ) - dissapeared for a few months and then re-appeared so keep your eyes peeled - maybe yours will return in the future

Is there any way to backup data such as saved games without having root?

 

[deadite66]

not unless they save data to the sdcard which i doubt very many do.

 

[V4NT0M]

Wish they did, always through it was a bit of an oversight tbh

Would like some of my saved games from my old phone

Hmmm... Actually I just had a look on my old phone (2.1) and the games are still on it's market. I assume for some reason the developers don't want it on 2.2 phones, or my particular market.

New Angry Birds Christmas edition out in case it hasn't been mentioned.

Also, how long has that related tab been there? Just noticed it now:

The related tab wasn't there earlier today, so must be very recent.

It's the new Android Market being silently pushed to devices running Froyo. "Similar" and "Related" are the same thing.

Here's how to force update it.

@Buddah, yes it was mate

[Broken Hope]

Thanks, I heard they were doing some freebies this week.

Edit: Won't let me download it because Desire HD isn't on their list

I noticed they have the Desire HD listed now, todays game seems to be a golf game.

I've been using Astro file manager since Android 1.0 it seemed to be the best around, estrongs has been around for a while but they've made a lot of good changes recently and it's my file manager of choice now, looks nice, no ads and easy to browse PC file shares.

Yeah I've been using the new ES File Explorer for a while and xit really is /the/ best. I use it for cross file management between Bluetooth (other phones), ftp (my website/image dirs) and phone + home LAN via wireless. It's awesome!

Hmm I seem to only get a link to buy the game on my DHD

Can estrongs browse root too?

Be nice if I could just have ONE file manager rather than OI and Root Manager... Plus ES does look nice and clean

Settings says it is able to root explore for CM and HiAPK rom only.

ES has more features and is generally much easier to use and easier on the eyes but mine is a little laggy when scrolling.
Astro is really smooth scrolling and has the little scrollbar that pops out.

 

[V4NT0M]

Yea, the scrolling is a little annoying especially because I can't see a reason for it.

Same, and I checked yesterday.
