Essential Android Apps

Whats the best music player app?

Which will play multi format such as WMA files

Slightly off topic, but I have an Orange HTC Hero on contract yet I've noticed ever since I've updated to 2.1 it's been quite sluggish.

Is it worth me rooting my phone (or can I even) and if so how can I do it?

also would I be able to get HTC Sense back?

Edit: Is that on their website sarge78?

Yeah, a massive improvement for a BBC fanboy like me

Try powerAMP.

+1 for PowerAMP - best £3.08 I ever spent! (on my phone...) lol

If you want a free one, try this one, cubed

(ignore the 2nd comment... they're obviously retarded lol)

Thanks just D/L trial version of powerAMP

Maybe a factory reset will help

Slowly getting addicted to "Plumber" a simple 'connect the pipes to get the water from A to B' type puzzle, it's good fun though

for me hardly any of the browsers do, i always have to zoom out manually even if the zoom is set to far in the settings.

Dolphin Mini now has an 'Overview' setting that will display the entire page by default, no matter how big the page. I find this very handy, as you can choose the area you want to zoom into, rather than having to zoom out then in again.

Are there any decent games that you can play 2 player between 2 android phones?

Mario Cart 64 works great on my DHD.

edit--------->

Pokemon Stadium doesn't seem to work... but THPS2 does!!! Life is complete!

What browsers are people using?

I have tried both Dolphin HD and Mini, and I do not like either.

Miren Browser is the one you want.

Hmmm N64 emulator sounds good, can tilt controls be used? Wouldn't mind playing FZEROX with tilt controls.

Edit: I just actually read the desc: * Option to use the G-sensor as the analog stick.
