Best Apps?
 
It looks like a huge majority of people are coming from TP2's like myself. Since many of us are new to android, I was hoping someone could start a thread to suggest the best apps. I used Pocket informant as my calendar app, and Phone alarm to switch sound schemes based on location or time of day. These are 2 of my biggest priorities right now, but there are so many apps in the app store it's pretty overwhelming trying to figure out where to start!

Thanks!
Mike

Yeah this is my first Android phone ever, and here's a few that I've got so far...

Swype (not in the Marketplace)
ASTRO File Manager
Redbox
HeyTell
Words with Friends
Angry Birds (addictive)

I also grabbed the Netflix app from the PPCG news page, but there's no streaming yet.

Thanks! How do you like the Astro File Manager? I was really hoping to find Total Commander ported over to Android, but it looks like I'm out of luck. Is Astro preety good?

Seeing as we have some TP2 people here. I used to be able to set my ringer to "vibrate then ring." If anyone knows of an app that can do this on Android it would be much appreciated.

A few apps I'm using now:
Screebl to try and help with battery life
Air Attack HD pretty fun game, I have it set to motion control
Paper Toss very addicting game
Barcode scanner a must have

I also used Shop Savy on my wifes old Droid and it was pretty cool, but havent used it yet on my TBolt

Yeah so far so good. I only used it briefly to access the Netflix.apk that i tossed on the SD card from the PPCG news page. Easy to use for sure. From the reviews I read, it isn't as nice as TC tho.

*EDIT
Swype is still in BETA for the Thunderbolt, so the auto-space and auto-caps isn't working for sms right now. Still worth it IMHO for the awesomeness of Swype. Especially going from a slide-out qwerty to an on-screen keybaord.

*EDIT x2
THIS WAS POST #1,000 FOR ME!!!!!!

If you root your TB then you might want to get Root Explorer. It's the best file mgr app out there. As for a calendar app I use Jorte. Has lots of widgets to pick from.
