Essential Android Apps

tCallBlocking

Loving this APP, was sick of getting calls from "witheld" numbers, and a few numbers that always ringing me i wanted to block.

A few options too, like you can have it too just hang up on the person or divert them to voicemail

Shame there aint an option to play a mp3 file telling them to get lost

don't like transparency, it has custom skins support so you can make it look how you want.

Seems the same as Android Agenda except AA is free....

any way to get handcent to pop a ballon with a text message in when it arrives? All I get it a line or two at the top of my screen? Turned off notification in standard messages? Is that right?

Thanks

Can't decide if I like the default message app or handcent, think I'm leaning towards the standard one at the moment. Also can't decide if I like the Facebook app or touch site best! Really cool to have so many options though.

What's the "toggling" widget at the top of that screen?

It's the stock Android power options thingy. I have it on my Desire.

go to type a message, longpress on keyboard, select input method. change to swype.

Tried that and still no joy, may reinstall

All I get under keyboards types is QWERTY. Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY? Is this where I should see Swype showing?

EDIT: Ah have to enable it first then it shows lol, sorry new to Android from iPhone this weekend

Thanks

I can't find it on the app store.

For those that want beebplayer - http://www.rustymail.co.uk/stuff/beebPlayer_0.6.5.rar

Should be the latest ones (0.6.5) as I tend to keep my apps upto date daily

Do I just bung that on the SD card and run it?

Edit: Also how do I change the colour of my "bars" in smooth calendar/google calendar?

Edit: solved questions 2 and 3
