Essential Android Apps

BSPlayerFree is good enough for me. I like the way you can change the brightness and volume easily also.

What sort of control does it give you? Like a media centre remote?

Solid Explorer is a really nice file manager! Some great features especially the split screen allowing easy move between directories.

Zombiewood is a good game as well. Pretty large download but it reminds me a little of State Of Emergency on the PS2.

Looks really good. Have you found a way of accessing system folders on a rooted phone? I can only seem to browse the SD card.

-edit- found 'System root' under 'devices'. Nice software, thanks

Better than estrongs?

 

[FeFiDoh]

hmmm not sure what the system folders are called?

Well for me the side by side thing is really useful as it will allow me to quickly move stuff between dropbox & SD card
Not sure if estrongs allows streaming from cloud services either?

*edit*

Appears for system stuff just keep pressing the back key or swipe the screen left/right and it will take you to the root/sys files/folders. I ticked "show hidden files" under settings. So yes you can literally see everything if you so wish.

If your phone is rooted, click the 'jump' arrow, devices and there you have the choice of browsing the sd card or folders on the phone's memory (System root).

 

[FeFiDoh]

Yeah I found that

With the announcement of Google Music in Europe, I spotted this feature

Music matching means that, when uploading your personal library, Google Music will scan your titles against its own catalog. When it finds a match, it will add that song automatically, without spending extra time uploading your files. This is a great feature – and one that many have long hoped for – that will save a ton of time in syncing up your existing library. This feature will launch with Play Music on the 13th in Europe, and will come to the US "soon after."

Now I'm a bit skeptical about this will work. What's stopping someone creating a spoof mp3 file with the same title and a bit of meta data and gaining the real copy when uploading it?
