Your favorite 'show off' app ?

Recently purchased a G1. Idouche owners tend to always brag about there magical apps that can fart and look like steam.
Just wondering what Apps you guys have used to show off your G1 to people who've never seen or experienced Android.
Sherpa , Barcode Scanner have been good but also sluggish leading to hold on......hold on....ok wait...hold on....ok there.
1337 xbox live app and soundboards are always great as well and alot quicker to boot and show.
What about you guys ?

I don't show off, b/c my G1 is for serious business and not stupid childish games.
However, generally CyanogenMod + Hero Theme alone are enough to squeeze WOW from most people.

we all bow to you oh professional user!

Mine are Bust A Move and Buka

Gotta love just showing a Hero Rom, and the ablility to sync with FB. My best thing i've noticed is showing that you can change how your G1 looks in a matter of a total of 10 min to look way different.

I love showing off Google Voice

Google Sky Maps

sky maps, sherpa and handcent sms
Have a friend who recently got a HTC TP2, gets anoyed at me when I can customize and full around with my sms settings and looks

Wireless Tether for Root Users, AdFree and DroidWall to tech-adept friends.
GDocs, Work Email, Remote RDP, Remote VNC, and Donut's VPN settings to business oriented people.
Cestos and Hyperspace to gamers.
CoPilot Live, K-9 Mail, Shop Savvy, Meebo IM and Shazam to everyone else.
And of course "Google Voice" to iPhone users

Riiiiiight.
Thanks for taking time out from your serious business schedule to let us know that on an internet message board. Say hi to Obama and Putin for me.
Id love to try skymaps but being in NYC with its whopping 2 stars in the sky its pretty useless.
I forgot about google voice. Being able to call people from 2 numbers on same phone is pretty cool.

And to everyone who responded to my comment, let me explain myself a little better. I did not mean that people who want to have better apps are childish. If anything, I was trying to point out how childish apple fanboys are with their fart apps.
@KOF33,
Obama and Putin? I'm not quite sure I understand. Are they visiting UK or something?

Premier League - Coca-Cola Champ, 1, 2,
Scottish Premier
and other incude italy and spain and france..

Marc

soccer livescores 1.4.6
Soccer livescores 1.4.6 is free gives all leagues and world cup and international and friendlies etc

I also like Soccer Livescore. Just need the results on the go, doesn't need all the backgruond information some apps are providing.

yer i liked Soccer Livescore but i wanted something like the Sky Sports App that is on the Iphone, and this app comes close.
It even has match commentry.
i used to have 4 or 5 progams all running -but now i just use the one..

I agree this app is well worth the money and is being constantly developed too.

Google Scoreboard gives me all the footie results I want/need including as-they-happen goal updates.

It does!? I'm jumping on this right away. All other apps I tried had terrible coverage of Leagues 1 and 2. Everybody knows that's where the real football's at anyway.

[Q]Games

What are some good games Aria ppl are trying? I know its small screen will deter some from playing games but it can handle alot.
I've been playing the Sims 3 for a while but I think there are some better graphic ones that it could do as well. The emulators are retro but has anyone tried psx4droid? Id like some feedback on that. MT3GS ppl say some psx games are laggy!

You can do one of these with the WiiMote too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rxJq6tQVw8&feature=related
As far as games go, I haven't downloaded many. I like Traffic Jam tho. I probably won't install any emulators for a while. I'm having too much fun with customizations to have anytime for games haha.

Guitar Hero is great

have you guys actually tried this on your aria? Or are you saying it is possible. Because from what i've been reading/tried, it isn't.

Nah, I haven't tried it. I just thought it was pretty crazy and wanted to share the video.

yea, unfortunately... the bluetooth stack used in our phones are not compatible with the wiimote. So unless that changes, you're not going to have any luck using that particular remote.

Not true. I have hooked up my wiimote to play game boy advance games.
Things you will need:
1. Rooted phone.
2. CyanogenMod rom. Nothing with HTC Sense. Again if you are using Stock, Stock w/Root, or Liberated Stock it will not work.
3. Goto market, download "Wiimote Controller" by C.C.P. [email protected]
4. Follow Setup on the app. It will set up as another keyboard. Only useful for a handful of other apps, but like I said I use it for GBA

thanks for replying, i've been trying to find out if the cyanogen rom made changes to the bluetooth stack. Asked it twice and no resonce in that thread. Figures that I'd get an answer here lol.
This is good to know that it works when i make the switch from liberated to cyanogen

Thanks. It is awesome. I'm gonna try Gameboid later and see if I can get Advance Wars for it.

Guns 'n' Glory FREE is a great tower defense like game with a Western cowboys and indians twist. even the free version is hard enough to keep anyone entertained for a good while.

I like the games My Paper Plane 2, and Home run Battle 3D... The touch screen controls on the aria such too much for proper emulator gaming
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

Since not many people talked about the emulators, I guess I shall write a bit.
So I've been playing around with the emulators for the past week or so. I have the SNESoid, Gameboid, and PSX4droid emulators. Anyway first the SNES emulator. For the most part, games play pretty well. There is some occasional slowdown but not much. There is a bit lag though on games that use the SA-I processor (mario rpg and kirby super star). Sound on a few games are a little choppy but for the most part, it's decent. Just have to tinker with the settings. Games like super mario world (i have all stars) plays very well. Chrono trigger plays nicely too. I have close to 20 roms right now.
Next is the Gameboid emulator. I have a few roms for the gba emulator (FFI and FFII, and a gundam game, have tried a few others but decided to delete them lol..). I must say, the gba emulator runs the best. It's seems like the Aria hardware was made to play gba games lol. There's no lag whatsoever and the sound is great! I find it ironic because the gba had better hardware than the snes so you would think the snes roms would play better. I think later I'll try more roms like advanced wars or something.
Last is the PSX4droid emulator. Well let's just say it can play the games. First game I tried was chocobo racing. It was a little slow and the sound was bad. Then I tried digimon world 3. The game played well but a little slow and the sound was also bad lol. I'm going to try brave fencer musashi and warcraft II next. Both are currently being downloaded.
Oh btw...I suppose it would make a difference but during my gaming, I only had around 30-40mb of ram. Maybe I should've killed the other apps to gain more memory. I suppose it would run a bit better?

Angry birds beta is the funnest game i've played on the aria yet!

Good review, I've only tried snesoid thus far. Super mario rpg did see a bit of a speed up for me when I switched to cyanogen. I think I still had to set it to skip a 4 frame max though. The audio was fairly bearable then.

Angry Birds for Android (Lite) OUT NOW!!!

http://www.talkandroid.com/13118-an...lite-officially-confirmed-for-friday-release/
Woohoo! I love this game on iTouch because it's so damn addicting! But damn, i'm gonna have to do all those levels again . Now here's hoping to Plants vs Zombies!

woopwoop this is a really fun game

if they port PvZ.. I hope they include the other modes as well.. not just adventure

+1 to pvz!

I never noticed if it did. Most of the time I played though people would take 40+ minutes to play their turn.
I was playing one night while watching a movie on my tv, and I was able to watch the whole 2 hour movie and then some family guy before the person played their next turn.
Want to know their word? W-I-T-H. 2 and a half hours for a 10 point word. Srsly?

Words with friends with cross platform Feint = Willing to pay 10$ for that.. if that ever happens..

Word feud still has those damn annoying pop ups. I think WWF would be much better based on it being like the iphone/touch version. Wordfeud needs to implement stats, as well as resign for the non current player to really be a good game.
I was just turned on to Angry Birds, I am sure it will be really good after a couple months on Android.

WordFeud is still a work in progress and it is getting better with each update. I would definitely pay for it to have the ads go away.

I will pay for plants vs zombie like MURDER money

Go get it!

Does anyone know where the beta apk can be downloaded? It's not showing up in my marketplace

I checked my market place and don't see it. Is it really there? Is there a qrcode for it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I saw "Angry Birds" on Appbrain, but it is a scam trading on the good name of the iPhone game.

Found it on AppBrain. Has a QRCode too for those that don't have AppBrain installed.

Probably just keep this going and update the original post so the board doesn't get full with crap. Only problem is the apps get released at 2:00am my time. I probably won't have the thread updated till about 6:00am CST.

Always good to have as a reminder, and maybe reviews. I downloaded it on my N1 today, haven't had time to try on my Xoom. But free is good, so the worst that can happen is I don't like it and have to blow it away. My only complaint, after rooting tonight and having to reinstall the Amazon apps is that it only lets you download and install one at a time, quite the PITA since I had over a weeks worth of stuff to catch up on. 12 downloads, one at a time.

Today's app is Fruit Ninja but it does not appear to be the version designed for Tegra processors.

Really wish it was the THD version. But free is free.

Weatherbug Elite today. Grab it for your phone and get the free tablet version from the market.

I wanted to try this app!
Thanks!

Flight control today. Tablet ready.

Thanks.... got flight control

Get it while you can. Ad free and looks fantastic on the tablet.

This version of Backbreaker Football will not play on the Xoom. However, there is a THD version out there if you really want to play the game.

sorry I missed flight control; I bet it looks great on the Xoom..

I have a hd backbreaker file. It seems like this forum doesn't accept .apk postings of actual files... if anybody wants me to upload it to rapidshare or something just let me know
