If this has already been posted I apologize. I am a frequent xda checker and don't think I have seen it.
I spend a lot of time on "home screen" threads and have learned about some awesome Apps that I might not have otherwise. So I thought it might be neat to have a thread devoted to those favorite Apps we use so all of us can benefit and get the most out of our NS's.
I'll start us off...I have been into informational apps lately one of the coolest in my opinion being the "cool tool" overlay. It gives you almost all the info you could want in your status bar. Always having a CPU reading has helped me learn about how kernels, governers, schedulers, and apps run and has helped me to get some great battle life. It is free in the market.

I also use "network signal info" when I hide my signal I the status bar.
Do you have an app or tool on your device that you can't live without? Post it here si we can all learn about it.

Swipepad is the 2nd or 3rd app I put on my phone when installing a new setup. It makes it so easy for me to download something, send to Dropbox, get link from Dropbox, then post on here or elsewhere. Apps can be selected by user of course..

Hey all, what live wallpapers do you like the best? I've been using earthrot and galactic core, but I was curious if there were any better looking ones not on the marketplace.
The Super Mario one is pretty popular. It shows Mario playing through random levels.
*Edit*
Oop didn't notice that you wrote not available in the market place. Hm.. I have no idea of any other ones then.
do you have a link or a qr for the mario one
it doesnt seem to come up in a market search for me
http://www.livewallpapers.org/mario-317/
There's a few other neat ones on that site as well.
Try the Panoplanet. I havent yet but have been looking at it for a min,
odd
mario and logcat wont come up in the market for me
even when i use the qr code
I host loaded nexus revamped. I like it cause I can change the colors for background and the dots.

Site looks nice but only 1/4 wallpapers are actually down-loadable. All the rest are dead links.

I'll have to actually use it to decide whether I like it, but I will say I've despised the lime green theme from the beginning. Visually, I'll be relieved to see it go.

Am I the only one that prefers the current look to the one of this screenshot?
This looks too cluttered, and frankly, the green was actually pretty nice.
Nah I like the current market too. It doesn't have content set out right though. It's just big lists of apps. So it desperately needs some kind of trending and advanced sorting like the website has.
And they also need to cut the crap out of there. So many rubbish apps. At least plunge them into the depths of search at the very bottom, so you don't have to see or deal with having to skip them.
I like the current too.. but when it comes down to it, everyone goes to this screen first. I'm sure this will lead to a lot more 'impulse' downloads, which they probably want.

Just because an app is published in a different language doesn't make it ****ty. Android is an international platform, after all. An optional filter would be helpful though, for those of us who can't read- and thus presumably can't use- apps without an English UI.

Sorry for gravedigging but when installing I accidentally noticed two of the permissions it is asking for:
Your messages
read SMS or MMS, receive SMS
Services that cost you money
directly call phone numbers, send SMS messages
Just want to ask if this is legit.
This is not a download thread since Tap a Talk is a paid app but since Droid DOES and I were the ones that themed the hell out of it, we decided to start a thread to market it...
TapaTalk is a Quoord Systems Limited CO. and is responsible for creating the Tap a Talk app. We approached them about offering a themed version of the app and while waiting to hear back from them we themed Droidforums, DroidXforums and XDA.. which are all TapaTalk based apps.. Winter Wong of Quoord is the founder and has had constant contact with us and with their latest update, we popped out 6 color variations for users to enjoy for now.. more will be offered at a later date.. These apps are standalone apps so you can have all 6 colors and the stock version on at once if ya want.
What's different about this themed version??
Well, just about everything!!.. Not only did I rewrite some code and edit 20+ smali files but Droid DOES made 100's of new images!!.. Plus we now have custom tabs instead of those bland gray and black ones and now instead of having that drab white background within the "light" display style, you get to choose between Transparent or Inverted from within the apps settings.. Pretty confident that this has never been pulled off with 100% success.. (I did the free version of Rootzwiki where you can choose the same theme styles but there are a few issues still)..
Go support your local Android Themers and buy a couple colors.. If you already have Tap installed, in the future we'll have an "In-app" purchase option for a lower price but that's not implemented yet.. a few bucks is an easy way of saying thanks to both of the teams involved in this... I'll link the market page(s).. Or, you can search Tapatalk in the Android Market and you'll see it.. Rate it and comment about how cool it is.. .. Blue is uploaded right now and Winter said the other 5 will be in the next day or two... Enjoy!
Market Links
http://bit.ly/AllMarketTaps This link is for all 6 colors.. or, do a search for TapaTalk or Xparent in the Android Market...

I'm a bit late, but..I love this theme! I don't use GoSMS very often, but for some reason the stock messages app has issues when people send me MMS, so that's when I use Go. I think I still have some Play Store credit; if I do, I'll buy this today.
