Hey everyone! I'm relatively new here and just thought i might start up a thread in which we can all post our software configurations on our Phones (Kaiser/TyTnII/Tilt/etc.). I'd really like to know what applications you all use and which ones you would recommend. Well I'll be the first to go .
FTouchFlo 1.4.1 (I really like this nifty little thing, gives you the ability to call up your Cube by a swipe of the finger)
SCLPC++ 0.051 (This is great for when you only have one hand free and need to quickly call someone or run an app, I use SCLPC++ Configurator along with it)
VTap Video (Great free Mobile video streaming program)
Microsoft LiveSearch (Excellent to find out..anything lol)
GoogleMaps Mobile (Great if you want a free gps navigator, has worked real good for me so far along with LiveSearch)
JBed3D (How many of you can resist a little 3d gaming on the go?)
PHM RegEdit (Nifty little free registry editor)
TCPMP + FlashVideoBundle (Great if you want to stream video or audio from websites, works great with YTPocket.com)
Bejeweled 2, Madden NFL, Tradewinds 2 (Some great games to play on the go imho)
MobiTV (Nice program for watching TV on your mobile)
Now to ask for a few recommendations, I need a good Large Digital Clock for my Today screen and an advanced task manager. Besides those i really would like to know any and all software everyone uses on their phones .
Everything I have listed in my signature is what I can't live without.
Pocket Controller Pro sounds Dirty.
Oh Oh do we get name tags and special fun markers? I call dibs on reb and blue first. Oh and I think it would be super sweet if we were all wearing matching shirts.
I couldn't like without Google Maps (yeah I download my maps, I'm not a cheap @#[email protected]#d) and TCPMP for my youtube/eskimotube lovin. Oh and lets not forget SiriusWM5 .. Gotta hear that Howard Stern.
BaBaBooie BaBaBooie
This is a good free digital clock for your home screen. Uses a pittance of memory as well.

Oh man with sirius wm5 thing makes my days fly by at work.
I dont have all the revision numbers infront of me.
Dopewars, pocket irc, googlemaps, sirius, morphware emulator (millipede 2fingafun), sPd, ifonz, ereader, tcpmp, yahoo go 2.0, illum listpro, spybot.
Ok, just thought I'd post to see what everyone does with there Xperia X1 so that others can see what the phone can be used for and what not.
Currently I just use the phone for the phone, text, e-mail (with T-Zones) and use the Garmin a lot. Rather than that I'm still exploring on what to add to the phone.
I flashed a couple roms, from TF3D to the R2A and found that I am more satisfied with the R1A using the performance tweaks. I do like the TF3D but I like being able to pop the keyboard and type for anything that needs typing
I'm trying to incoprorate the phone as a music player and listen to music more so I'm going to be using the media panel, unless someone else can suggest something better. I want to be able to see all my songs and create a playlist rather easily and shuffle the songs.
Another thing I would like to have just incase is the WiFi tether for my laptop. I know t-zones is rather slow but having some internet would be better than nothing.
I also thought about blogging and taking random pictures to kind of keep up with whats going on in my life and that sort of thing. The facebook panel is ok, but I'd rather have like flickr or something to upload the pictures and blog about it.
So what do YOU guys do with your Xperia? And what do YOU guys recommend?
I use mine for email, web, gps, the odd photograph, writing articles (usually with a photo) and as an Mp3 player..
Never usually bother with txt and obviously make the odd phone call.
Then there's all the tweaking, tinkering and hacking..
as to music I tend to use the one in TF3d, which works fine for my needs, (but then I just stick it on shuffle).
Without tf3d I use either
Conduits pocket player (which is a really good music player (commercial) and uses media player skins see http://mylostblog.altervista.org/ for some of those)
freeware there's mortplayer, and s2p, but s2p doesn't do playlists just yet, possibly next version by the look of it.
Never got on with tcmpmpmpm/coreplayer but others love it.
- Full email with built-in messaging and marvellous ProfiMail
- Full Internet (OperaMobile 9.5, OperaMini 4.2)
- YouTube
- Photos, and sometimes video recording
- Music
- RSS Feeds
- Constant work with Office, especially Pdf and Word (currently DocsToGo but planning to get Softmaker)
- Of course extensive use of Calendar, Notes, Tasks (busy life)
- GoogleMaps
- And utilities like ExpenseDiary, Stopwatch, Dictionary, Calc and Currencies!
- Ebooks reading
- Simple Weather app by Gega (great!)
- screen capture utility to catch maps from google maps when abroad (cheap and practical!!!)
As for UI, I just love panels and have two of them (one clean, one with most of my apps I use and all I need)
I also use MediaPanel which supports creating playlists. I don't really watch movies on X1 since it basically kills battery. Anyway there's a sticky containing good converter for videos for X1.
Hope it helps, apparently I don't do too little with my Xperia.....
First of all, don't blog. Too many people doing it, too few people caring, you'd be wasting your time.
Beside that, my uses include (in order of importance)
- Tinkering
- Calling
- Sms messages
- Musicplayer
- Video's
- Email
- Games (SNES)
- Random stuff
Apart from the obvious; making calls.
-I surf the net alot with Opera.
-Use mt 8GB card to listen to music synced via PC(always shuffle)
-Watch Youtube sometimes
-GPS with TomTom is wow( Where would we be without GPS)
-Some games - actually bejewelled
-E-mail - a lot of e-mail. Windows Live rocks
-Texting too.
I've been using Windows Mobile aka Pocket PC Phone Edition when it first came out in 2000. Same what you will about Microsoft but they've got the best Mobile software in existence. Believe it or not, I'e never owned a regular cell phone. Been using WinMo since MS launched the XDA with T-Mob in 2000.
-turn it back on when it turns off
-restart it when coreplayer crashes
well i gotta admit i love mobile gaming. This phone really dissapointed me, a lot. Gaming sucks so hard. Hopefully with all these WVGA phone coming, there will be more support for gaming. Even emulators suck, compared to those on Symbian.

1) I agree with the emulators being crappy compared to Symbian and stuff. I really wish we had a better one cause I love the idea for landscape and having a keyboard.
2) I like the weather panel. Reminds me of the TF3D weather and the iPhones weather. Very nice.

What a device!
Hi All,
Shouldn't the question be, what don't you do with your Xperia. I travel all across the UK, Ireland and Central Europe with my job and since having the Xperia and an 8GB SD card I leave my laptop & TomTom 910 at home now as the X1 (along with the SE car charger) does it all for me!
Cheers,
Astoroth
phonecalls, msgs, im and checking emails
weather updates
alarm, appointments

Sorry to go (a bit) offtopic, but we may never see Angry Birds because of a blunder by Microsoft.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/oct/11/microsoft-windows-phone-angry-birds
Basically during the original mockups of the UI when it was first announced, Microsoft decided (for some bizarre reason) to put an angry bird tile in the Marketplace Mockup.
This pissed off Rovio Mobile as they weren't working on a Wp7 version of Angry Birds at the time. Doubt they ever will now tbh.

That really sucks, I've been addicted to Angry Birds, I haw the original droid that I keep just for that game, there is no service I just don't want to sell it until I get sick of the game.
Was interested in seeing what everyone does with their tablets as i feel im not using my to full potential.
I mainly use mine for searching net, reading websites, watching Youtube, check emails and twitter reading a paper or mag and maybe the odd game.
Thats about it for the most part.
what else can it be used for?
i use mine for:
- taking notes (asus super note)
- capturing my ideas (adobe collage)
- reading books (ezpdf reader, polaris office)
- learning french (about 13 different dictionaries and conjugation apps)
- searching and surfing the web (firefox, opera mini)
- checking forums (xda premium hd, tapatalk hd)
- reading Quran (Quran android)
- messaging
- email
- maps (i travel a lot these days)
- camera (don't judge me )
- watching movies and tv shows (mx video player)
- music (play music)
- games (cut the rope, angry birds, fruit ninja thd)
and just for the sake of using it to full potential i sometimes hit my sister with it or use it as a japanese hard pillow.
Is Asus Supernote the same as The Supernote that's already on the Tablet?
If not can you link me to it please.
Thanks
Pretty much everything! Moved from iPad to this and because of the extra openness I rarely use my Mac or PC when I'm not working now... Some things I use it for:
Portfolio - Displays my graphic design work
Perfect photo viewer
Kindle (Best e-Reader, you can give it it's own brightness etc.)
Social hub (Seriously, Samsung Social Hub is one of the best social network aggregators I've seen, works especially well in portrait)
Skype (Seriously try this, the future is here guys, Star Trek ain't got nothing on Android!!)
Magazines (Zinio lets you subscribe to magazines, save the paper etc.)
It has replaced my newspapers (I'm all digital now, I just read the news sites/apps)
Gaming (Makes a great little games console, never going to live up to an Xbox or PlayStation but it certainly gives portable stuff like PSP and DS a run for its money with the big screen and very affordable games!)
Games console emulators
Evernote
"Cracked!" Reader app (very magazine-ish in portrait mode)
Comic books
Radio & podcasts (Great broadband radio apps, good speakers, win!)
Route planning on Google Maps
TV/Movies when away from home (As long as there's wi-fi, Netflix works great, if not, I stock it up with some films)
Development (I am an iOS and Android developer)
Things I DON'T use it for:
Writing on this forum - the browser seems to have a tendency to just stop working if I try to send a relatively long post on this forum and some others, not sure if its my network, the browsers or the device.
Music - My iPhone does the music bit, and 16GB with no SD slot is pushing it a little with music.
Instant messaging - Mobile OS multitasking isn't ready for IM, it really needs to be something you keep present on the screen no matter what you're doing the way you can on a Mac or a Windows computer with a good sized screen. I'd use it for IM if Samsung had made a TouchWiz overlay IM program like they have with their calculator, calendar etc., but switching to and from IM+ just isn't versatile enough.
isnt adobe collage like 15$?
An interesting post as I think the tablet form factor is not being used to its full potential.
For me surfing and reading the two biggest uses as with everyone else.
Other uses for me:
- Home media player with HDTV connector. MK video player plays more formats than Xbox or PS3 and easier to connect than laptop. I use ES explorer to connect and stream to NAS.
- Microsoft Instant Messenger (try Office talk). Great when not in front of work laptop. Can use any IM really and saves you firing up computer.
- Have tried VNC and Teamviewer. Need to setup static IP but useful if in other room. Contemplating whether to leave work laptop on all day and just vnc.
- Highly recommend installing Overskreen Browser. Useful browser which acts as a separate window on top of what you are doing. Combine this with a web app and you have a second reference window. For example, check address while on Google maps.
- I have Documents to Go so can open all Microsoft word, excel, PowerPoint via Dropbox account. Still won't replace working on desktop as not all features are enabled, like pivot tables in excel or transitions in PowerPoint. This is still for reference and look up.
I've tried note taking but quicker to write out notes. For this size, an active digitizer would be the killer app.
Interested in what other people do as well.

- Browsing mainly and reading news via Pulse. And Facebooking and IM'ing a lot.
- Sending links to my PC via 2SendTab when needed (music or videos from Youtube or stuff I need to look at the next morning)
- Remoting into my PC via PhoneMyPC (the best remote app out there) and doing pretty much everything from my bed. LOL.
When I'm not programming at home, I'm pretty much on the tablet all the time and my PC turns into my home cinema and that's it. I would gladly stop using it alltogether as long as Photoshop and other productivity tools were available on Android (which I hope soon).
i don't think you're supposed to have a supernote *already* on the tablet unless you have a transformer prime.
check this post, it's really useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204931
and no. adobe touch apps are all less than 10 bucks.
i don't mind other apps. just adobe collage gave me the feeling that i would enjoy using it.
also adobe photoshop touch was good. but it's nothing compared to the pc version and i wouldn't use my tab for photo editing.
I keep noticing people referring to Tapatalk HD on this forum, but I can never find an HD version, just a nasty stretched out mobile app. I used to use the HD version on iPad so I'd love to have it on my tab... Where are you guys getting it??
I use my tab mainly for browsing and checking email. playing games and watching streaming footy in the bed.

using it as a car front end looks really awesome if you have 3g/4g
-General web/social uses
-Making small changes to websites I manage (Droid Edit Pro)
-Reading (kindle or ez pdf reader)
-Gaming (Android games and n64oid)
-Blogging (write in google docs then post from pc...blogger's app is terrible and the website is bad on mobile devices)
-Music (Google Music)
-GoogleTV remote
-Google+ Hangouts
-Netflix while laying in bed.
I use mine for the following:
- Ordering takeout (especially dominos making your own pie is great)
- Making online purchases like Ebay & Amazon. (Paypal is great)
- Reading (Magazines, XDA, Manga, Pulse)
- Watching videos (streaming media, anime, youtube)
- Location services (maps, train maps & timetables)
- Gaming
There is an increasing number of tablet friendly(customized) apps that make things very easy. I am sure i use it for more but can't think of them all.

I use my tab for a variety of purposes, most of which are mentioned in others' posts. Mainly it's a great tool for consuming the information & entertainment on the Internet. Although some strides are being made in productivity (e.g. Adobe touch apps), tablets still come nowhere close to the capability of a desktop for work.
Hi! Does screen mirroring work on Nokia 7 plus?
Because I can't share phone screen on my LG smart TV (it works fine on mate 9).
Thanks
I did it couple of times with Chromecast, but I did it from Google Home app. It work as expected.
Ok with chromecast , but do you know if screen share works with miracast ?
Stock Android doesn't support miracast which makes it a no go on Android One phones just like the Pixel phones, it's something 3rd party manufacturers add if they want to in their own custom additions to Android.
Thanks !
What? Ouw snap why I bought this rubbish
I am using a Nokia 7 plus and have found that it is capable of screen mirroring without chromecast.
Go to developer options.
Under 'networking' you'll find the "wireless display certification" option.
Turn it on and then go to cast, you'll find some new options. You don't need to do anything more.
Just turn on the device you want to cast too and it will appear in the cast menu in settings.

Great find. Thank you.
Edit: I couldn't make it work.
I noticed that the settings only show up on screen when the WiFi is on. If the WiFi isn't on the cast setting only shows "no nearby devices found".
For reference I've given screenshots here quora/Does-the-Nokia-7-Plus-have-screen-mirroing

I had the WIFI on, but in Developer options I did not have enabled the WIFI Coverage Extended Feature.
The settings were showing, but could not find the TV (a Samsung TV).
Maybe need to do some settings on the tele also.
I'll try again later today.
Works fine. I had to enable the option on the tv also.
Thank you
Well if you check out nokiapoweruser's sites he made a tutorial video of the process from a comment I posted the day before yesterday.
Just remember that even the display you want to cast to should be expecting it. For a laptop it would be the 'project to this laptop's option. Might be something similar for the TV too.

Also Nokia 7 plus ist die einzige Möglichkeit über miracast app wenn das nicht funktioniert die einzigen Fernseher die Nokia ohne Probleme unterstützt sind gerade eigentlich nur Samsung oder lg tv ich kann dir jetzt leider die Seite die sagen aber gib doch einfach bei google. Streaming App für Samsung TV das gibt es eigentlich für jedes TV
nokia 7 plus ta-1062 here.. even if I turn on the wireless certification option in developer options. I still don't see anything in the cast window. not even the extra items added when you enable wireless certification. just plain blank page. already did factory reset. upgraded to latest July 1 2019 update. Still nothing.
