Taskiller for killing off processes and apps.
Astro - file explorer app.
Agree with Co-pilot above - wouldn't have bought it without proper sat nav program.
Not essential but useful - Toggle Settings and Tone Picker.
Still looking for a decent movie player which seems a long way off. If coreplayer ports over the Hero will be complete!
Wikitude augmented reality browser - show it to your iPhone pals and watch them weep...
Second BeebPlayer. Really nice iPlayer implimentation.
My Hero came with the pre-latitude Google Maps - needed an upgrade!
A decent compass app!
London Tube Status app - so I know whether to run or walk out of my office in the evening!
Great thread- thanks for the advise.
However I cant find this beebplayer app... help?
Locale - Awesome app. Lets you customise your phone based on location, time, etc.
Last.fm - until spotify is released
OpenSudoku (Best one by quite a margin)
ShopSavvy - Barcode price comparison that works in the UK and gives you local results as well as web ones
Google Voice Search - Works surprisingly well
Doom!!!!
ScummVM - Has issues but you simply can't beat playing Monkey Island on the phone.

Awesome thanks
what about MSN? i expect my Hero in 3 days, need to prepare also, barcode scanner, is that pre-installed or needs to be downloaded/bought?
Barcode scanner is free from the marketplace, it works really well.
Ive got some - had an android Handset as my main phone for 6 months and I adore it - currently have a Google Ion dev version of magic.
PicSay (and Picsay Pro) - Ive got the pro version - takes pics from camera or gallery and really easily adds speech bubbles, clipart, doodles, colourise, warp, captions etc then allows you to send via mms, mail, to twitter, picassa, facebook.
AK Notepad - very simple, easy to use and very robust. can back up to SD.
Twidroid and Babbler - might be redundant on Hero but great twitter and facebook apps.
Bettercut - allows you to add shortcuts for allsorts of stuff, and to edit any shortcut on your desktop to show your own icons.
UK TVguide - free version has a pop up on start and an add strip at bottom but small and simple to use
Wallpaper Set And Save - lets you use .pngs for crisper images
Jewellust - brilliant bejewelled clone a bit like Jewel Quest...
BookmarkBR - Backup to SD and restore your bookmarks from and to the android browser - great for when you eventually start wiping a lot and loading roms etc...
G-Backup - backs up SMS and MMS and a few other things to folders on gmail server. Auto back up is brilliant again if you wipe and change roms a lot you never lose a message.
Root Explorer - for when hero gets root - lets you go anywhere and options to toggle r/w and r/o in each folder, to copy paste and move stuff - dangerous in the wrong hands obviously...
Beebplayer is great, as is an app called Television, lets you download and run videocasts mostly from US but grand

Hi Liam,
I've been on Windows mobile for years and have crossed over to android and got a htc hero. I'm very impressed with android and wish I'd crossed over sooner.
One thing I really miss is microsoft voice command on my old wm device.
Do you know if there is a similar app for the android os? There are voice dialers on android market but they dont seem to cut it for me.
Can you help please?
Cheers,
Dom

Shazam
I've been running Android on my Vogue for almost a year now, and my must-have apps include:

Reverse Lookup: Gives name, address, even a map link for unknown numbers
Google Voice: I used this to create an additional phone number (free) that allows me to make and receive calls from the second number using my mobile phone. Also has text messaging and Visual Voicemail.
(FYI...Most of the features use your data plan)

Hi Guys,
I thought I'd create this thread as I see so many people coming from Sense and being slightly underwhelmed by the stock app offerings on CM7. The beauty of AOSP ROMs are they 'just work' and are free from all the proprietary nonsense that hogs resources and slows down your device. That said, I fully understand the comfort provided by the Sense interface and the innovative features some of the apps provide. This thread is not a place for discussion or argument about what is best and what is lacking or how to use sense apps on CM7!! It is purely intended to show that if you broaden your horizons and open your eyes, you can create the perfect personalised UX based on your own tastes.
=====================================================================================================================================
Section 1 - Launchers
ADW LAUNCHER (EX)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ok, so ADW is included as stock in CM7. The main reason for this inclusion, other than the fact it offers huge customisability is that it is open source. This leads to it being constantly improved and updated offering a great experience for the end user. Huge market support in the way of themes and icons. Overall a great choice. EX version is ridiculously good.
LAUNCHER PRO (PLUS)
Another great customisable launcher. Missing those Sense widgets?? Do not fear as the main ones are here and available to use on any AOSP ROM of chocie. Not as much theme support on the market but plenty of mods available on XDA and a great overall choice of launcher. Updates have slowed down recently.
GO LAUNCHER (EX)
Another customisable launcher with great theme support on the market. Seems to be very fast and easily comparable with ADW and LP.
=====================================================================================================================================
Section 2 - Dialers
DIALER ONE
A great dialer replacement with extended functionality such as smart t9 dialing. Retains a Sense like look for those missing their HTC dialing experience.
GO CONTACTS (DIALER)
Another offering from the go team. A combined contacts and dialer app on the market with extended functionality such as T9 dialing. Nice blue skin gives this dialer a professional look.
DIALER2
Very sleek almost 'stock' gingerbread interface but again retaining the smart dialing amongst other features.
=====================================================================================================================================
Section 3 - Messaging
HANDCENT SMS
Possibly the best SMS app on Android? Not for me to say but I've used this app since the Hero days! Too many features to mention but personally I couldn't recommend this app more highly.
CHOMP SMS
Another stalwart of the Android SMS scene, giving the iPhone style thread interface to the masses. Not as many functions as Handcent but still an improvement over stock.
GO SMS
Are the GO DEV team planning to take over the Android scene? With all these apps hitting the market and being updated almost weekly, it sure looks that way. Soon we'll forget Google and be pledging allegiance to GO. Anyway, the app is solid and offers comparable features to Handcent including many themes.
=====================================================================================================================================
Section 4 - Music Players
POWERAMP
Quite possibly the best mobile music player on any device.... quite possibly. Simply put it's like having a portable amp in your pocket, an audiophiles dream. Combined with SRS (yes that's possible on CM7) it makes for some awesome listening.
MUSIC MOD
The stock music player isn't that bad.... it just looks bad. So how about touching it up and re releasing it as Music Mod? Great. Simple and elegant, plays music and looks nice. Lacks the features of PowerAmp.
MIXZING
Nice looking music player with some innovative playlist features. Recommends songs based on what you listen to.
³ CUBED
Nice music player with an interesting 3D Cube cover art interface. This can be switched with coverflow and basic views. All in all a decent player.
WINAMP
That old PC mp3 stalwart WinAmp is back on Android rocking WiFi desktop sync and streaming radio channels as well as mp3 playblack.
=====================================================================================================================================
Section 4 - Camera's
CAMERA 360
One of the best camera apps out there. Tons of features and functions to get the very best out of the DHD camera. Much better than the Sense app.
VIGNETTE
Numerous photo filters combines with robust operation. Great App.
CAMERA ZOOM FX
Another fully featured camera app with filters and adjustment properties.
=====================================================================================================================================
Section 5 - Keyboards
SWIFTKEY
Ok, so the idea behind Swiftkey is that rather than learn the correct spelling of the word you are attempting, it learns the way you write sentences. For example, you start by typing "I LIKE" and after you hit space the keyboard suggests "XDA" because you're always talking about how much you like XDA. Another example would be typing "I WILL", and the next words Swiftkey will recommend are "DO THE WASHING LATER AS I'M READING XDA". Obviously it doesn't suggest the whole sentence at once, but the word suggestions follow on from each other and you can start typing different words if the suggestion is wrong. After a months use however, it is rarely ever wrong.
iTAP
I know a lot of people on XDA, HATE iPhones and I can't say I am the biggest fan. Anyway, grievances aside, the iPhone keyboard just works well and has always been easy to use. So rejoice in the openness of Android and embrace the fact you can use the iPhone keyboard if you wish. Good keyboard with usual features, not much else to say.
KEYPURR
Keypurr is a keyboard for those fat fingered users who struggle with accuracy on the 4.3inch monster that is the DHD. Offers a variety of key layouts to ensure even the wildest typists can get their message down with ease.
BETTER KEYBOARD
This one has been around for a LOOONNNG time and is always a good choice. Loads of styles and skins so there is something for everyone out there.

Guys, I always have force close everytime after reboot when I'm using Launcher Pro Plus..
Is there any way to prevent this ?
It only happen after a reboot.
Great Thread!!! Really informative since coming from sense roms, I felt lost without all those sense widgets. Trying to find good apps as replacements and I stumbled upon this.
1 recommendation for a messenger client which I found on Lifehacker: Imo.im
http://lifehacker.com/#!5785665/imo...ier-to-use-interface-to-the-android-im-client
I have not used this app yet personally but would just like to share what I found.
Great thread! Good going guys.
One of the first things I change in a CM7 ROM before flashing is the camera. I use the MIUI camera app. Works beautifully and much faster than the stock which is horrible looking and lacks basic functionality. You even have the sense like focus by touching the required part of the screen (and autofocus is much faster as well). Don't have it at the moment. Will attach later.
Edit...
Attached MIUI Camera. Hope that this isn't breaking any rules!

Tutorial for changing camera? Ok, here goes.
When you download the zip file to flash via CWM, open it in either 7-zip or winrar, navigate to /system/app and either delete camera.apk and insert MiuiCamera.apk or just insert MiuiCamera.apk (in case you want to have both just to see the difference). Close and flash. That's it.
If you've already flashed, get hold of root explorer or ES File explorer (in root mode), then place MiuiCamera.apk in /system/app and make sure the permissions are the same as Camera.apk (I think you can modify permissions only using root explorer and not ES, but you could take the long route of executing fix_permissions). Restart and you're done.
The new camera shows up in your programs list as MIUI Camera and not Camera. Hope this helps.

Go into the cm7 nightly thread and search 'dspmode' or read back through my posts and you'll find the instructions. If you're struggling then pm me.

Definitely consider some custom keyboards. There are a number of truly **** ones, I quite like swift key, the predictions are awesome, and it tells you how many gestures you save through them.

For SRS, in terminal type;
Su
snd3254 -dspmode xx
Then you have to choose a profile from the list that it shows.
Is there anyway to get make the phone set it on boot?

More Best Bionic Apps!
Flash Video Browser- watch Hulu, Youtube, College Humor, CBS as a desktop browser, no more blocked cause your on a mobile browser.
Webkey- cell sitting on charger in bedroom, have access and control of it from your browser.
AirDroid- cleaner than Webkey, less options but BADazz either way.
Webtop Connector- taken from Atrix I believe, lets you run webtop without buying hardware, just plug in HDMI cable. Can't wait it Webuntu is ready.
Android-wifi-tether- cause Barnacle wouldn't work and 4G is too fast not to tether.
NZB Leech- my ISP limits my bandwidth, so this help to expand it. Use Opera or Firefox and I like binsearch.info for downloading NZB files. No PAR checker, but I justs transfer to PC if I need to rebuild.
Clover- cause free $5 and easy to get pay and pay people. MOD EDIT: Link removed - no referral links allowed
LCD Density and LCD Resolution- I like that one shows you the resolution your about to set, other gives you more control. Set to 180dpi and webtop mirror will give you 1280x720 on your HDTV.
Swiftp- sharing is caring. Easiest FTP server I've used, and works great.
I love customizing my phone so here is a list of tools that I use the most.
Widget Locker - This will allow you to customize your lock screen in any verity you can imagine, and the list of assets ready for download are virtually endless.
k-9 mail -- This application is a great mail client with a full array of settings and alerts.
Tasker - This is a very versatile application that allows you to set anything from anywhere using any app to do anything. Enough said (take's a while to learn though)
Alarm Clock Plus - This application replaced my old alarm because of the massive amount of settings it holes. I have the Eclipse 2.1 for .901 and it does not have a gentle alarm, this allows me to use one and much much more.
XDA app +1 (Mentioned in previous post)
Wifi - Teather +1 (Mentioned in previous post)
Mint - I would not trust anything on my android that can make any sort of changes to my currency accounts. This is why I love mind. Mine is a Read-Only application that displays your spending habits and does a great job with setting up money plans.
Logcat Live Wallpaper - This is a nifty wallpaper (Does not fully work on the bionic stock, and not at all with Eclipse) but is a fun background to have.
The list goes on but for space sake, this is the end.
