think we should let it just drop to the bottom. this thread we be far better. you would have to spend hours in the old thread trying to find what's on The first post on this thread

Report the OP in the other thread to a don and ask for it to be closed as we have a new thread.

also Locke, maybe ask a don to rename the thread to "Recommended android apps - READ THE FIRST POST!"

Now this is more like it. Well done Locke. Keep it up, dude.

very good idea this just keeping 1 single document up to date with best apps for specific purposes

John Squire · 30 Oct 2012 at 21:29

Very good idea, hope people keep adding to it when they find good apps/games.

Gameboid, it's not on the Play store though.

What are some good launchers for people who are still stuck on <4.0 ICS (Including me

) Currently running Hololauncher, are there any others?

Go contacts and Go sms pro are good alternatives to the stock dialer and sms app that I personally hate!

Do any of these have vertical layout instead of horizontal?

benjo · 31 Oct 2012 at 01:48

Gameboid does

Thank you very much

Also, how playable are n64 and ps1 games with touchscreen controls?

Very bad in my experience, lots of people pair up a PS3 Sixaxis controller - but that is also a hassle to carry around.

Some games aren't designed for a touch screen at all, but luckily some publishers port it to mobile. For example, if you check out FF3 on Android/iOS, it's simply awesome.

Is there any way we can see the date the spreadsheet was last updated? Just so we know if any apps/games have been added?

You can pair up a wii control via bluetooth using an app on the market called wiimote (I haven't actually tried it myself yet but I'll try it later and let you know how well it works) They're less cumbersome than a PS3 controller if you wanted to take it around with you

Good idea, will do this for future versions.

Also for games, can you remember to do games that run well on lower end devices? Most of the games that get good reviews and such sometimes require high end devices to play smoothly

i think the title needs a change
