let's play counting game - HD7 General

me. 44 Tiles 54 Apps.
Cheers
FY

Thats impressive. I've had my HD7 for 2 days and I'm at 22 tiles and 32 apps.

36 tiles, 160 apps, (had a dev device from the middle of Oct before the Euro launch, some apps have been un-installed, others didn't transfer from LG to HTC because they were from the manufacturer app store)

1 of those is my app from the marketplace(Close the Sale!), didn't count any apps I'm currently writing not already on the marketplace, just stuff from the marketplace.

Why do you want so many tiles? Do you even use half of the apps?

The tiled apps yes.
I'm a dev and I like to look and see what's out in the market, I want my apps to look and feel like the best the marketplace has to offer. I also need to know where to focus my efforts, another tip calculator, currency converter, or unit converter isn't a good use of my time right now, and some apps are from devs I've met. I'll show off their apps with my own.
I've been with Windows CE since the Phillips Nino, and since the iPaq 2215 HTC has built all my devices. Consequently I carry a bit of app baggage, my HD2 was half full and a good chunk of that was apps, very little media, my Zune HD filled that role. The HD7 is similarly full, but most of it is music now.

Wow thats a lot of tiles. I like keeping tiles for just apps i run often...
19 tiles
38 apps.
I havent found many useful apps =S

20 tiles
40 app's

20 Tiles
57 Apps
35 Games

23 games in addition to the results I listed earlier

16 titles, 1 game, 10 apps.

Market and non market apps (I need your submissions!!) [Updated 8/31/10]

The thread is far from final. I still have a few things I would like to work out design wise, but its finished enough to be posted.
The Pimp My Captivate thread exists, but the OP has admitted to no longer having access. Not only is a thread far easier to update, but it is also more user friendly in my opinion. If you’re just getting your phone I suggest checking out that thread.
This is my first time doing one of these, so any suggestions on arrangement would be appreciated. I'm modeling this off of the one in the Rhodium forum (skyler17 and this is the thread).
I plan on updating the post, but I'm not installing every application on my phone to provide information on it. When you suggest an addition, please provide a few words about the app and why you think its notable and any requirements or known incompatibilities the app has (requires root, another application is needed, Vibrant vs. Captivate, etc). For example:
moTweets: Easily now my favorite Twitter client. Free version w/ some ads and a paid version for $3.99 without ads. Twitterers unite! (freeware)
Click to expand...

QR codes may get added later, but not right now.
This first batch of apps came from the pimp my captivate pdf. Not all of them are here since I do think there is good information in the pdf, and you should read it.

IF YOU'VE FOUND THIS POST, OR ANY OF THESE APPS USEFUL, INSTEAD OF POSTING THANKS, JUST USE THE BUTTON!
If there are any apps that you feel shouldn't be in this list, please let me know and suggest a better one. I can then test it and maybe add it to the list, in place of the other one.
If you don't suggest a better app, I won't change anything.

And what about an app like Volume Control, to manage all type of volumes?

What about Power-amp? It's pretty solid. Gapless playback. Awesome!.

Hi guys,
I was looking for an app to rename multiple files (as I downloaded many .mp files on my mobile through website and their names were like: music1-WEBSITE.COM.mps, music2-WEBSITE.COM.mp3, etc) I wanted to remove all the -WEBSITE.COM from my directory using mobile itself.
I downloaded an app called: FILE TOOLS - using it you can simply rename the files in one go
Also to add if you are looking for missing cover arts, try this - COVER ART DOWNLOADER

OP updated..
42. BUTTON SAVIOR - you can use this App to simulate hardware keys on screen without having to root your device Recommend
43. FILE TOOLS - using it you can simply rename the files in one go.
44. SCREEN FILTER - it applies a shade that acts as a dimmer to ensure your eyes don't hurt. Far more powerful than Android's built-in brightness setting. Great for low-light gaming, web browsing, and eBook reading. It even saves battery life for AMOLED displays

Hi,
I send PM to you.

OK. Thread closed.
If you want to coopereate, please end me a message and I will add some additional posts

To those with a Note 5 already, how's the RAM management.

To those with a Note 5 already, how's the RAM management.
Can't get one in Canada until the 21st, just wondering if the Note 5 is a smart buy.
Here's a video of the LG G4 smoking the Samsung Note 5 in memory management. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6QSffa9dys
The Note 5 opens the apps incredibly fast even with reloading though.
I've seen posts here and there that make it sound promising but the video above scares me a little.
Anyhow what are your experiences?
How many apps (and which) can you open and swap between without them reloading.

You already saw my posts but I will re-state here so others can see as well.
I do not have the issues that video illustrates. I can run Chrome, Fallout Shelter, Poweramp, Play Store, Trillian, Amazon App Store, 1Weather, Google Plus, Whisper, Gmail, Battery Widget Reborn, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Z Launcher, the stock launcher, a number of settings windows, and plenty more, and not have any of them need to reload when switching between them (which is good, because Fallout Shelter is up to 500megs of RAM usage...). With all of that running, I still have 1.1gigs of free RAM (333megs in reality, as 800ish megs of that 1.1gigs is for cached processes). I don't yet have much else installed, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is not a universal issue, and even if it were, it can easily be resolved by an update from Sammy, or a custom rom/kernel down the line.

Yeah same here ... no problem at all ...

My note kills apps like crazy. Certain apps i know for sure as soon as i hit home the app gets killed. but if i jumped to another app through recents, then the app would at least stay alive for a while.

Question Slow loading of apps

Hi all. I am 4 days into the S21 ultra and I am finding it is becoming slow to load most apps - BBC news/Daily Mail/My fitness pal - the latter two take around 15 seconds. Apps with lots of images dont show the images for around 30 seconds (mostly newspaper websites - The Times/BBC/ the Sun. I had tested side by side with my Mate 20 Pro which opens apps fully in seconds. Has anyone else had this issue?

I just tried BBC app and it was instantaneous. I think you might be having something running in your background. As for apps with lots of images, I have google photos with 10 years of photo in it and it opens instantaneously too!

maybe you should try to backup your google photo data, i know a device can help it.
