Post apps/skins that work well here! (Last updated 3/22/10)

[lipidfats]

So now that we have data working and can access marketplace and other sources with APKs, i figured we should start posting what apps/themes run well on our touch pro2s. This will help keep the development thread clean. I've tried many and some lag, some actually work pretty well.

Post the ones you think we should check out, but only if they don't lag like hell please. Also post where we can get it whether it's marketplace or a site that has an apk file linked. I'll update this post with cool finds (bottom of post will list latest additions). Many of us aren't too familiar with android, so this will be a good learning experience for us.

Steamy app works pretty cool too... And with the G-Sensor command line fix, the droplets of water actually fall off the bottom of the screen and not off to different directions... However, when you blow in the mouthpiece it's supposed to create more steam on the screen and that doesn't work yet...
