Twidroid

Use the iPhone app and it will show up how poor the Android Application really is.

Anyone know a good Twitter app apart from peep?

I use Seesmic. I haven't tried Twidroid.

 

[MadMossy]

Anyone found a game similar to Unblock Me on the iPhone ?

The main thing that gets me with the Facebook app is that you can't view your messages. It's terrible. But people have been saying that ever since it came out. Apparently Google and Facebook aren't best of friends...that's why the app sucks.

Facebook's fine for me actually. I don't mind it.

My essential apps are:

swype
sms unread count
photoshop
speed test
shop savvy
es file explorer
last.fm
net counter
flixter

Just installed Swype 1.16 (final) and OMG, why have I only just heard of it?!

 

[Chiz]

Where did you get the final from?

 

[ja3h]

Just installed Swype 1.16 (final) and OMG, why have I only just heard of it?!

How did you install it? Is it only avaliable on rooted phones? I searched "swype" on the market and it didn't show up!

 

[mrk]

It's not on Market, I just Googled it

Install using Astro File Manager (is on the market).

My complete App list is now:

No, not rooted phones, any Desire it works on.

There's links to the file which you transfer to your SD card on other forums somewhere....

My version is - 1.25.16.12.t100

 

[mrk]

How come you have 1.25 when 1.16 is final?

 

[Chiz]

No idea.

this is what it says when i view my swype settings.

It also says version 5162 on a different view through the app info screen.

 

[mrk]

Weird!

 

[mrk]

Hmm where did you guys get yours!

 

[Skidder]

anyone have a version which works on the magic?

 

[mrk]

The one I have is the one I've only come across as HVGA compatible, even the XDA Devs thread on i links to this one!

I've posted in there to ask though

My Magic works with my version above!
