Bunch of my buddy's got iphones and are constantly showing me cool apps for just about everything. I know our phones rule, so post up some of your favorites so I have a bit to show
I am still looking for a good weather app with radar -.-
I really like WMwifirouter http://www.wmwifirouter.com/ It has a free trial its great.
it turns your data connections from your phone into wifi. Making your phone into a wifi hotspot!
look for Shootme v 2.5, thats a fun one. its like iphones shotgun app only this one has machine gun, whip, boxing glove, and more(my fav is the hair clippers, if you sneak up behind someone it really sounds and feels like your hair is being buzzed off haha)
Im assuming ur a guy by posting this.. but HDwobble has to be one of the funniest apps..

but u dont have to limit urself to breasts, if youre not completely dirty mined.
SK Tracker. It's a must-have if you flash a lot and want to learn how to back up all your settings w/ UC or sashimi.
Tom Tom stand alone GPS. I dont need to have internet access to figure where im at via google maps.
Apps
No apps really compare to Iphone apps. Especially games, the only game that is interesting and fun is "Xtrakt" and that is originally for the Sony Ericsson Xperia 1 and it doesnt fit on the screen correctly. The Touch Pro wasnt really thought of when it comes to impressive applications.
FindME
I don't mean to blow my own horn, but I am finishing up testing LsFindMe. It is an app I wrote, which I use to find my car in a parking lot (Actually more likemy wife uses it daily).
You "tag" the car when you leave the car. when you leave the mall you click "findme" . The system tells you how far from your car you are, and guides to to it.
slingplayer mobile.... use it everyday @ work and on the rail road home...
and hTorch of course... lets see the iphone guys do something like that!! good luck w/o a flash!!

And where exactly can you get Tom tom for the Touch Pro with North American maps, I am willing to buy them, but TomTom.com does not sell them.
If you're musical, Pocket Guitar is impressive http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482726 It's available for the iphone too, but it works great in the TP and it's free.
You mean I can only have one favorite app?
The list is seriously endless for me. This is just part of it:
GRemote
FM Radio (comes in handy sometimes)
A few of the games in the Mega Arcade Pack
TF3D (Can't say I've ever seen an iPhone interface this sexy )
WorldCard Mobile
PocketIRC
HTC's Wi-Fi Router app (Just started using it recently and love it, though USB tethering worked awesome too)
I used to really enjoy hearing "What's one thing your phone can do that my iPhone can't?" That was easy, just show them copy & paste. Sadly the new iPhone can do it too now...I hate you Apple
id have to say diamond beer and touch the music would be a good start also there is a thats what she said app with the voices of the people from the tv show the office. also htorch is a must turns your led into a flash light and dont forget the light saber app.
need for speed
with g sensor.
its amazing

Seeing this needs a physical keyboard. Has anyone tried this yet via bluetooth keyboard or a USB keyboard. I would try but I don't have any compatible keyboards. I would literally hemorrhage if I could play Shadow Warrior or Duke Nukem 3D. Anyone willing to have a go? Please and thank you ahead of time.
*edit* I am picking up a keyboard that will work with it and have a look see tonight.
Any luck? I actually have an old copy of shadow warrior in a box of old computer crap I couldn't bring myself to throw away. I remember the trouble of trying to get that game to play on my apple g3 using an orange PC win95 mimic card and dosbox style prompt. God speed sir, I would be one thing less on the bucket list if I could play Marathon 2: Durandal on my gtab.
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA Premium App
I got Adosbox installed loaded up but for the life of me I cannot get it to create and mount virtual drive C: so I can place the game in the directory. I haven't given up yet. I got 2 USB keyboards that work fine inside adosbox. Anyone else want to have a go?
Got to wait till the weekend to give it a deeper look. Keyboard works for me. Maybe I will hit up the gtablet irc and see if I can get a few more heads in the game.
If anything, as soon as my toddler is at grandmas for the weekend its going to be a pretty hot date with adosbox, me and a six pack of IPA.

A man after my own heart, I never do anything without some sort of beverage. It sooths the android rage when I can't figure something out. I'll try as well, except my kids will be home hitting me asking for the "Tab-Board"
I've used an old HP fullsize keyboard and usually use the mini keyboard that comes with the case, both USB. I also use both aDOSBox and another varient (tho for the life of me I can't find the link ATM). Have 7th Guest and ROTT and Windows 3.11 on it currently.
IIRC, aDOSBox didn't support sound (or rather it emulated it to null) which is why I changed.
This weekend I want to pull Descent over ...
Awesome to know someone got it working. Pretty cool you got windows 3.1 on it. I'm planning on starting simple and seeing about getting rogue or scorched earth to run from the prompt, if I can do that I will totally drop in 3.1 too. Thanks for the heads up, hopefully I will have good news to report on Monday.
Wanted to know is anyone in hero withdrawal??? And hows everyone who has upgraded enjoying the 3vo??? Cons and pros compared to hero. I chose to start this thread because if any users are due for an upgrade can get a general idea of what to expect. Also just to have some general discussion on both phones. I loved my hero it was my first android phoe before it I never knew xda existed. It all started in a sprint store when I went in to complain about how slow it was becoming and I was regretting getting the phone and since I was still under 30 days I almost swapped it for a Samsung. Then a rep pulled me to the side because I had handed him my business card the prior visit and told me have I ever heard of apps2sd. I replied no and he told me to google it. Well I went home and did just that and that's when I discovered xda and its been a blast every since. I started at 1.5 when I rooted and I've never looked back. My hero will always have a spot on my history shelf. I never knew it was possible that a little phone could do so much. And how its a whole different world on xda I mean I blew my mind on how many members were on here and that they do it all for the love. Never have I ever regretted rooting my hero and I'm glad that that sprint rep told me about apps2sd. I even went to the exact store to thank him but he was no longer there. Whish I could have showed that man the end results I think he would've been floored lol. But now getting the 3vo Im quite fond of the screen size especially because I wear glasses and I can take them off now and still read the print fine. That was one of my biggest dislikes of the hero such small print. I'm very thankful for the developer of spareparts and the rom developers for including it in most of the roms I've used. Also I like the feel of 3vo with the rubberized back the hero has hit the floor on my occasions because it lacked that feature. I like the charger port being on the side of the phone big plus IMO because it makes it easier to surff and charge at the same time. With the hero I just chose to disable the rotation because I got frustrated with having the cord in between my fingers when I wanted to surf in landscape. Also I love the fact of the 3vo's buttons on the bottom are flush and has no clicking sound. I was always afraid of to much wear and tear on the hero's button would one day catch up to me. What I don't like is the big stupid as camera button on the side I seem to activate the camera a lot and I haven't figured out a way to disable it yet. Probably can't. I liked the heros option that if you wanted the camera you had to select the camera. I love the speed of the 3vo of course. My hero was fast as hell but can't compare to it. Well that's enough for me. Any one else???
Edit: Also if ya dont mind post what apps, launcher, and themes your still using from your hero that your using on the 3vo and how they perform and your overall setup.
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
I'm using most of my apps from the hero on the 3vo. However, I can't use the ex explorer. Randomly locks up. Sucks. The htc_ime works on.it too, but hugs the left screen.
Over all, the transition from the hero is frustrating a little since I can't root or anything. So there are plenty of apps that I cannot use.
Make the switch if you can. I'll post the app list during lunch chow.
I love the phone and the performance, the screen size is awsome, but the phone doesn't feel bulky like my wifes OG Evo. Contrary to Laie, I don't like the charge port on the left side of the phone. Maybe I'll get used to it, but for the last 16 months or so the Hero has sat on the charger on the right armrest of my recliner, now doing that leaves a cord hanging across my body and it just doesn't feel normal sitting on the left arm rest. Not a big fan of the camera button either. It's nice to use as a shutter button, but awkward during normal phone usage. I haven't changed much about the HTC setup yet, but I've been busy setting up the Hero for my son. What I'm not fond of, being back on a sense rom are....the 7 homescreens (I generally only use 1), the goofy 3 button sense dockbar, and the fact that the apps I've spent so much time changing out the icons for use on the Hero and resigning are installing ok, but showing up with the original unchanged icons (I haven't yet investigated why, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the difference between the MDPI and HDPI displays). So the bottom line is that I'm definately pleased with the upgrade and the power of the phone, but I find myself tiptoeing out of my son's bedroom with the Hero in hand to flash something or try something new.
I have an otter box case, so I don't notice the camera button. I don't like the usb port on the side, but they have the right angle plugs you can get so it runs along the side of the phone. My hero feels so small compared to this phone. Oh, and the speed of it is crazy. I keep trying to use the trackball to move my cursor, but am slowly remembering its there. I'm still hanging around this forum to help out if I can.
Sent from 3D land
I was overjoyed when I heard a rumor that the Kingdom was the code name for Hero 2. Turns out its not. I miss the smaller screen of the Hero. The 3VO is a big bad boy tho. Using Sense, Go SMS, Miren browser, Robo Defense, AndroXplorer, dropbox, sugar sync, zumo drive, audio galaxy, glow hockey, mobo player, news rob, spare parts, Verizon Fios DVR manager, and Zedge. With the extra horsepower of the 3VO I started using Pocket Casts (podcasts), My Beach lwp, music beta, ghostTown (if you're a music fan, check it out), amazon app store and album art grabber.
I bought my 3vo today, upgraded from my overclocked hero running the latest cm7 nightly. I miss the bulk in hand of the hero. The 3vo is big but doesn't fall to hand quite the same. The camera button is awkward as well as the usb placement for me.
The performance can't even be compared. The 3vo is blazing fast. Network is fast. Everything just feels instant. It's really hard to describe the difference coming from the hero. I kind of miss the physical keys and the menu unlock and the trackball. I definitely have the itch to root and flash this thing already.
In all honesty, I bought the phone out of excitement for something new. I could care less about the 3d features but would get so frustrated at watching my gf's droid x do things my phone just couldn't do. That was enough to justify the purchase. Will I keep it? I'm still not sure. I'm kind of hoping we get a couple of new offerings during the 30 day trial (SgsII, kingdom, photon) but overall I'm pleased at the performance.
I think I'm going to purchase a case (something I never did with the Hero) just to add to feel in hand. I'm definitely going to miss the hero, and will keep it around, but it was just beyond dated.

Yup I totally agree. I spent all that time putting together a hit list if apps and in one day most of them are useless to me now. And I can't wait to get rid of sense to much dam applications running. I DON'T EVEN USE HALF THIS SH*T lol. Its just to many dam apps. Lol

The flashing urge is not quite as bad for me.....I do still have a pair of Nooks, an OG Evo, the Optimus, and the Hero in my care, but yeah.....the Hero's still my favorite even with the tiny little screen and the silver paint worn off of all the buttons and the menu button that doesn't actually press down anymore.

Turned mine off on Friday, Haven't turned it back on. I got burnt out on having to always set everything back up after flashing a new ROM, that I finally stuck with each ROM for months at a time. All I really want is custom kernels and free hotspot and usb tethering.
It's funny you are posting this in the Hero forums. What are you trying to do? Make them all jealous!
Changed my mind.....I'm taking mine back. Can't take the stupidity in those forums, it's even worse then the Nook forums. Some guy just posted a month old link to a post that says HTC will unlock the bootloader.....Geez we didn't know
I am not getting the 3vo until august but from what I saw at the sprint store when I tried it was: THEY MADE SENSE MORE BLOATED!!! D:
I personally think that I won't be getting it until I can root/flash it before I even get home from the sprint store. >.<
I have gotten so used to not using Sense that I genuinely hate it with a passion now, so much freaking bloatware.

There's other sites besides XDA, but most good devs are on XDA, and some of the other sites just link you back here for ROMs. Just do what I do. Don't go to General or click a thread that doesn't look good.

Every HTC phone is going to have a lot of bloat. But even with all the bloat the phone is running smooth as can be. It doesn't slow it down at all. You could put ADW or LP on it and it will run 1000 times better than the Hero.

Yes google Amazon app store. Its great! They offer one free paid app a day. That is how I found pocket cast.
Ghosttown, very awesome. It takes videos from youtube and streams the audio to your phone, pretty good quality too. If you search by artist it will organize all the songs by albums, given if the video exists on youtube. Tried with the Hero and it was very choppy. Works great on 3G with the 3VO.
So happy with the phone. I have a wireless N router at home where my 4G signal is kinda weak and the phone is N compatible. 4G is strong at my work.

Would you believe 800% better?
In a bit of a quandry as the Kinect's are on sale at Best Buy for $99 and I feel like Im burning a hole in my pocket. Anyone use this frequently? Worth it? I have my daughter every other weekend and she uses the Wii like crazy but I'm wondering about the adult applicability factor.
Played it a few times at a friends house and I like the bowling on it way better than the Wii. In my opinion it is worth it so long as you are getting a compatible game with it or you already have a game that works with it
For kids - probably great.. for adults? Depends on what kind of games you're into. If you're into the dance dance etc. games... probably awesome. If you're into FPS' and the like, probably a dud..
My kids like it but I have yet to play it. My wife did right after we got it and it damn near gave her a heart attack. When I helped them set it up it seemed like it was having difficulty tracking them. We got a new tv and I need to move the sensor up, hopefully that will help. Also, when our dogs happen to walk in front of them it screws up the tracking as well.
I've heard reports of people having to move the TV in their room because there wasn't enough space in front of the camera for it to work properly, and I've also heard that you need a tidy room as too much clutter can confuse it.
Video games are meant to played in a sitting position with a bag of Doritos (other ****ty tortilla based snacks are available) on your lap....
Shame on you people with your desire to move and stuff.......
There seem to be more promising games coming. The favorite at our house with Kinect is the Dance Central games. Rise of Nightmares looks pretty cool, and I never buy games like that.
I love it and i am 24
Just make sure you get kinect sport,kinect sports season 2 and fruit ninja
Those are the best games for it
I also like being able to talk to my xbox and browse hulu plus and netflix via voice and hand gestures and telling my xbox to shut down.
I think its worth it and is great to play with your friends.
keep checking sites like AMAZON....price drops all the time....
Anyone knows pc games that support kinect device by factory? I have read something about drivers that allow kinect to use it as input device or mouse for paint and general pointing actions but i don't know it about gaming use for example C.O.D. III
NickFee
I own one and... that's great! Btw more and more cool games are out
For me just singleplayer gamer is kinect useless but playing with friends is totaly best
