Essential Android Apps

I use TV Show Favs to know what TV shows to dow......erm watch each week and then tick off once watched

Have a look at TED too - http://www.ted.nu/

Particularly cool if you have a file server sharing a folder using DLNA to you TV's I just turn my TV on, select Serviio as the source and watch my latest shows.

I use http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/ and integrate it into Google Calendar which syncs with my phone to tell me the TV shows.

Is there an app that will play DVDs in VIDEO_TS folders, including the menus and things.

Not the answer to your question, but just download folder2iso on your PC, and convert them to ISOs. Presumably (guessing here) the android version of VLC will play ISOs.

Take a look at TV Show Favs -

Unless you specifically just want the times in your calendar and nothing else, this app will probably be better for you

Trying the newest boat browser out and it is really nice. Given a bit more control with regards to the UI and it seems pretty quick, quicker than quick ics browser but not as quick as dolphin.

Think I probably prefer it to dolphin for now.......

Edit:

Nope forget about that, seems a bit buggy with YouTube so back to dolphin

I had a look at that before I went with the calendar. Will probably get it at some point but the calendar works fine. I just have it so I can check what eps I need to get

Does anyone know of any good TV Show tracking apps?

I'm really having trouble remembering when my shows are coming on and after several attempts trying to find something on Google Play, I'm giving up

Not an Android app but google Sickbeard

Is there a free app that does the same as Tasker? I only want to kill a few apps at certain times, so its not really worth £4.

Been trying a few browsers myself on the Razr i and keep going back to Quick ICS browser. Not being able to install Flash then embedded videos don't work unless they are HTML 5. Skyfire has a solution where they convert any vids on the page to a format that works without Flash though that part requires a small payment that I'm yet to do and you have to 'request' any vids you want to watch. Embedded Youtube vids on a webpage such as this forum sort of work with Quick ICS but are sort of lifted off the page and dropped anywhere, sometimes over the text you want to read. Anyway, the Flash job will have to be sorted at some point as support for it has been removed. Cannot get any version of Flash to install on the Razr i.

I'll try Boat browser. Used to use it on my old Defy+. Ditto Dolphin and although tried it again recently I soon went back to Quick ICS

Llama/Automate it. Not sure if they're free though They're just the only alternatives I can think of.

Unless you find a task killer with some sort of schedule.
