What's your favorite "Cool App"

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!!

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

LiveView

I'm thinking about buying this little thing in the future so I must ask you about it - is it useful? Would you recommend it or not?
Sent from my beautiful x8 :-D
Well is useful for people who do jogging, because I think that is easier just pull out your x8 and do your thing, more details search in youtube: Sony Ericsson LiveView™
Sorry I'm a new member so i can't post external links

what does the LiveView do? and why would you would prefere it for jogging?
It's something like a wireless phone controller. It connects through Bluetooth and looks like a watch. Very interesting device.

i have got one from play.com , i like this small device but when i try to use it as a watch i lost it first time. then i got another one and also second time it got lost but found out after some time . after that i am not using this liveview but it is great device. the lock between the band and the device seems solid but you dont know when it will get seperate from band and loss it for ever

but share your experience after 2 weeks or so. becouse when you get something new, its always cool ... after a while you will see that maybe its not so useful you thought.
Think it would be more useful if it wasn't for the capacitive-style buttons. With proper clickables, it could serve well as a pocketed remote control for music. As it is now, you have to pull "something" out of your pocket to swap tracks... and that "something" might just as well be your phone.
Been thinking about getting one myself, but for the purpose of swapping tracks, cyanogenmod does the trick by fiddling with volume/camera buttons.
are you realy listening musik from your phone! because i need to charge it daily and i even dont whatch movies or like that. i think this phone is just good be stylish and maybe to spend time with playing some games! ;(
This thing is very useful. I use it to check text messages when I'm in school And my phone seems to last longer cuz the screen isn't on as much
Sent from my Gingerbread on Sapphire using XDA Premium App
Sold my mp4 because of that phone. I don't like to carry so many devices as my friend (Milestone 2 + iPhone + iPod Touch + another mp4 player), one phone is great for me and I really listen to the music all day rly!
And I'm interested in buying LV because of the power of that small device. Music control, wristwatch, facebook, notes, reading messages...
its upto the person as to how useful you would find the item to be fair, I'm quite happy just taking my phone out of my pocket and using it that way... lol but its each to their own preference. Sony released a watch based phone product before i think, and that never really "took off"

SPB Shell 3D

So instead of putting pictures up you should have a look at this review because there is a lot more to it Pocketnow review of SPB. It's not of the streak but just imagine the bigger screen.
I will just add my two bits. I like utility in a gadget but one of my major pet peeves with technology is usability. A good program should have the ability to be usable without a good deal of instruction.
I find this launcher very intuitive and, contrary to the couple of mentions in the video above, sometimes going a little extra on the eye candy without much utility is what it's all about. I really like this, the way it looks, the way it feels and also the way I can show a couple of simple animations that really dress up my tab even though they may have no real utility. After all, what do you think the competition is doing?
Original Post:
Just tried out this launcher. I've ben waiting for it to come out on android because I thought it would be a good tablet launcher.
Just so no one wastes their time or money; it says not for tablets. It its woefully under-res making it look ugly and their is no landscape mode.
If these two things were fixed it would be perfect. It was very nicely layed out, smooth and practical. I will keep my eye on updates and post if there its anything worth downloading here. A for now, I am not a visual snob by any means, but only spend the money on this if you have severe eyesight issues. It's definitely not something that will make your friends jealous of your tab.

Just got an update. Looking good now! I'll put some pictures up soon.

Will it fuction in landscape mode with the new update?
No there is no landscape view but I have found more and more that I am using my streak in portrait mode and it suits me just fine. Just posted a video, see OP.
i dont understand you have not said if it supports tablets also , you speak as if your running this on the streak 7 , if not what does this have to do with anything in GENERAL about the streak

I've been looking at this software. The web site says it won't support tablets, but the Streak uses similar resolution to a high end cell phone, and Android 2.2.2 is actually a cell phone OS, so I imagine it may very well install on the Streak. I believe that is what the OP meant.
But it wont...without cracking the app open and editing it ...

Please see my updated post above. I got this for my captivate but have found out that it works GREAT on my streak (after an initial update). I find myself using my tab in portrait mode most of the time so lack of landscape view is not a big issue to me at all.

It is not a launcher, it is a shell. It incorporates weather, clock, etc. It is pretty similar to SPB Mobile Shell, which I used on my WM device before I got my HD2.

What exactly was your experience? Did you try and install and it would not install?
The Streak is using a phone OS (2.2.2), and the screen resolution is the same as my HD2 phone: 480X800. And the S7 supports OpenGL. I sent an email to SPB asking why it would not work with the S7. I'll post the reply.
EDIT: Those pictures in the OP certainly look like a Streak 7, and that is definitely SPB 3D...

You are really getting my blood boiling. You hijacked this thread when it was first put up and you are trying to hijack it again now.
You are seeking attention by contributing nothing but hurling uninformed insults.
Your comments originally were all deleted and I hope a mod can come and clean it up again.
I don't live on xda or on my tablet so yes it does take time for me to post pictures. I just wanted to start my very first contribution to the steak forums because I have been anticipating spb since ces and I am really happy with my purchase.
It works without any hacking, just download from the market. True story.what further proof could I possibly offer?
Post a video and shut me up I post those pics because you seem to be the only person with a working tablet period with spb on it I dont care about the phone screen size when I downloaded this it hanged for 5 minutes then told me device is not supported and force closed show a video because that could be a screen shot from your captive

I tested it on my mytouch4g. It doesnt even go into landscape mode on a phone..only portrait.... major fail.. I really liked it on my phone but the $15 price tag and no landscape just kills it.
And your own words that after an update it worked checked again no tablet support no update so share more than "i got a update now it works" how did you get it to work and nobody else did

Why isnt Playstation Vita a phone?

i am so freaking mad that the ps vita isnt a phone . Why not? i just dont understand. It would save me carrying two devices.

I don't really think it matters much. If you give it about another year or two smartphones will be as powerful if not more powerful than handheld gaming devices. I can really see the handheld gaming market getting phased out. Its already in the process

I don't see that happening for a while yet, at least a decade.
Folk wisdom in the 80s used to be that due to the versatility and power of personal computers, dedicated gaming consoles were dead after the '84 crash.
Look how well that turned out.
I see the dedicated handheld market slowly plodding along towards digital distribution, similar to computer and console gaming but the mechanics and process won't be the same.
Dedicated portable gaming market will die when battery technology is sufficient enough that spending any serious amount of time gaming on our cellphones, especially resource and network intensive games, won't require us to have a charger or spare battery nearby.

Vita is a full fledged gaming device, and if they have fit in so much already into a small frame, and have throwed in 3g, why not a antenna? That would just make it a ultimate device (which my rom tries to achieve ), just throw in fb and twitter and your all good. Then vita will own ALL the handheld market

I do agree that smart phones are quickly gaining ground on dedicated handheld gaming machines, but even as smart phone technology improves, so does technology behind dedicated gaming devices. The difference is that in order for smart phones to remain in competition with gaming devices, they need multiple hardware and software upgrades before the next handheld gaming generation releases. I'm not so sure the handheld gaming market will be phased out entirely.
I think once an elegant way to figure out how to add good analog controls to a phone is found the stand alone market will be further eroded. Xperia PLAY is a step in the right direction but is somewhat half-baked.

Actually it is, an Android phone. There is already a version of the PSP known as the Xperia Play.
If the phone has 3G, an ATT sim card, and a microphone, then why do you all think some industrious developer won't just plug in the sim from one of his actual phone accounts and dev an app that allows you to make phone calls?
Just sayin.
As to holding a phone up to your face, haven't you heard of a bluetooth headset?

What fun things can I do, other than emulators?

I have an iPad 4th gen, snagged the Nexus 7 32gb for emulator use and to tinker with.
4.1.2 (as 4.2 broke sixaxis for me).
what other fun things can I do other than NES/SNES/PSX emulation?
what can this thing really do that an iPad can't at this point?
Thanks guys! Digging my first android Tablet thus far!
Download a dosbox application and play older PC games.
Download GrooveIP lite (free) and grab a free Google voice number to turn your tab into a giant mobile phone.
Download a GPS app, get a mount for the car and have a nice 7" GPS with 3d turn by turn nav. I use copilot with the north american maps - activated 3d and voice turn by turn for $7.99.
Just a few I can come up with off the top of my head.

Not much really u got basicly a premium experience with the iPad, but one thing u can do that's unique is try out different launchers to change the look of your homescreen/app drawer, you can change icons,layout,etc. And if you really want to get down and dirty with theming you can flash a custom Rom with a theme manager and in the play store there are a bunch of themes to try to ur liking just be sure to make sure the theme is cm10 compatible, glad ur liking ur nexus 7

Google "Tasker". It lets you program your tablet to do pretty much anything.
Mine sounds Ships Bells every half hour, turns off wifi at night, starts the music player when I plug in headphones, and interfaces with RFID cards.
On my list is to have the tablet respond to a text message with a message giving a Google map showing its current GPS location,
and maybe a photo of its surroundings. Sky is really the limit.
And calling the iPad a premium experience is really a matter of taste. It would not be to me.

I respect your opinion on the iPad. Before hating on the apple bandwagon, the iPad 4th generation is VERY slick.
One thing i noticed on the nexus 7 is fast scrolling in apps like facebook isn't fluid. often I find it studders/pauses. Nothing crazy or bad, but if you really sit down with the iPad and keep an open mind - it's a very fluid experience.
The downside is how locked down the ecosystem is, which is where android shines. They both have their pro's and cons. I like them for what each of them have to offer. I'd never limit myself to just one platform. You limit so many possible experiences and gadgets....... and i love me some gadgets
is there xbox media center available for it? it's available on jailbroken iOS devices. I don't see anything for android (i have mplayer and vlc)

Let you look at the file system. Attach any type of file in an email. Install third party app stores and apps. USB OTG means you can watch anything you have on an external HDD. Hell you can even install and run games with a script from an external drive. There is a ton of things this can do an iPad can't. Not just emulators. Explore.

Doesn't the note only have a 1280x800 display? I wouldn't compare the iPad to the Note 10.1, the iPad would win hands down. However, comparing the iPad to the Nexus 10 or Asus Infinity would be a much better comparison.

I respect your opinion on the iPad. Before hating on the apple bandwagon, the iPad 4th generation is VERY slick.
One thing i noticed on the nexus 7 is fast scrolling in apps like facebook isn't fluid. often I find it studders/pauses. Nothing crazy or bad, but if you really sit down with the iPad and keep an open mind - it's a very fluid experience.
The downside is how locked down the ecosystem is, which is where android shines. They both have their pro's and cons. I like them for what each of them have to offer. I'd never limit myself to just one platform. You limit so many possible experiences and gadgets....... and i love me some gadgets

Your opinion is something I love to see. Its not a blindness Apple hate or Android love, or Android hate and Apple love. You are in between, which is a nice thing to see. I have a similar opinion to you. Apple does some things better, while Android does other things better. This is a much better way to look at things.

Download a dosbox application and play older PC games.
Download GrooveIP lite (free) and grab a free Google voice number to turn your tab into a giant mobile phone.
Download a GPS app, get a mount for the car and have a nice 7" GPS with 3d turn by turn nav. I use copilot with the north american maps - activated 3d and voice turn by turn for $7.99.
Just a few I can come up with off the top of my head.

Let you look at the file system. Attach any type of file in an email. Install third party app stores and apps. USB OTG means you can watch anything you have on an external HDD. Hell you can even install and run games with a script from an external drive. There is a ton of things this can do an iPad can't. Not just emulators. Explore.

The facebook app blows on android
One thing I really like with an otg cable is plugging a digital camera to it and pull pictures off the camera straight to the tablet

all good buddy
the display yes the ipad has a bit of a better display but really wouldn't you exchange a few pixels or an extra gb of ram?
found this the best comparison as it goes into detail on each area
