Try Rocket Bunnies.

Fun little game...as is stupid zombies

Pokemon tower defense game is where its at though at least when a few more updates come out!

Alternatively Tiger emulators are all free and allow loading / saving

Try This one

Nice one, thanks

Went ahead and got PureCalendar, very nice, but how do you make it display further than 7 days? There doesn't seem to be an option anywhere in the settings?
EDIT- figured it out.

Guys what's the best app to let you mod the lock screen. I don't mind the swipe etc but it'd be nice to be able to put snowstorm and other widgets on it. I'm sure I've seen this done?

I use TuneIn Radio.

+1 for TuneIn that's what me and my other half use

Perfect, thanks!

Widget Locker.

I hate this new 15 minute refund window

Wanted to give widget locker a good tryout... It seems really good and would probably be great in everyday use, but you can't really customise it to suit your style properly in just 15 minutes can you!

I know it's only £1.20-odd, but I've already bought 'GoTo Lockscreen' and 'LockBot' only to find that they aren't actually any good lol

Does Widget Locker replace the home-app like GoToLockscreen does? or does it only replace the lockscreen - thus leaving your default homescreen intact?

Robbie, you mentioned in another thread (about MPC-HC) that you use your phone to control MPC. What app is that? Unified Remote?

Only the lockscreen.
Good app, recommended it to a work colleague too, he likes it as well.

At least you get that refund window, unlike the draconian scheme that is iOS.

What's the simplest app which lets you transfer files from your pc to you phone over wifi? My cord seems to of stopped working randomly

Tried out the Unified Remote v2 beta yesterday. It's very good

Does it affect battery performance much?

Samba, ES File Explorer, SwiFTP.

Take your pick.

Samba is simpler but the latter are more powerful.
