Fun game

had a little try - I like it. Annoying to have to start all the way from the beginning every time tho if you crash - should have checkpoints.

There is a game called Angel Piano, pretty fun

Fede's music app - Beta 3 - Great player.

Get the WP7 Theme off the market.

Is there a free widget that lets you show a picture on one of your desktops?

Have to agree with this, very nice player if you like something that looks nice and has all the 'basic' functions, plus a few widget options. I find things like poweramp and playerpro just too bloated and overly complex for a simple MP3 player, so this does the job just fine.

Millions!
I personally use "big photo frame" on my phone.

I think some people are using this, but it deserves another shout

Stores pretty much any personal information you want, and can sync to your dropbox. I've just added my bank details and card numbers and my numerous emails

Very handy.

Dont know if its been posted but Dolphin HD is now free on the android market.

Kreeeee · 20 Jul 2011 at 09:58

Was it not free before? I've been using the HD version for free since I got my Desire.

Anyone having issues with google calendar/phone not syncing? I've also noticed my app brain apps don't auto install onto the phone anymore.

Ideas?

I've had my Galaxy s 2 for 2 days now and I'm after some cool apps/games to get. Don't really have a clue with android apps so I'm after some suggestions.

Cheers

Just spend a few hours going through the All Time Popular lists for each section on AppBrain

Viber (Free Calls & Messages) - Long time IOS app has now been released on Android. Great for international calls and I believe its cross platform compatible

People have shared their appbrain lists here too http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18160581&highlight=appbrain

Bit of an old thread, but peoples lists should still be active

Is anyone else getting fed up with the Amazon App store?

Two apps I've recently bought (Seek Droid and SwiftKey X) have been free for a day to the US.

I know there's a work around by pretending you're a US citizen but it's a bit of a pita

Robbo · 21 Jul 2011 at 13:14

It isn't a pita, it takes about 2 minutes to set it up

Everyone should set it up today and get SwiftKey X, the final version is even better than the beta. It's by far my favourite mobile device keyboard, it's just awesome.
