Must Have DroidX Applications

[ramborami]

Haha Same here, I've been with WM since WM2003, so almost 6 years now

1) Advanced Task Killer (Free)
Allows you to easily view, switch between, and kill background apps to free up memory and save battery.

2) DroidLight Flashlight (Free)
Uses the Camera Flash as a flashlight

3) Epocrated (Free)
Great for med students, doctors, and pharmacists. Has searchable drugs, pill pictures, interactions, symptoms, dosage, etc.

4) eWallet (Free trial, costs $20 I believe, but they let you use it on your PC, WM, iPhone, RIM, and Android)
256-bit encryption so you can store your credit cards, passwords, other cards and info. Very user-friendly and nice graphical interface.

The only downside is that the version for Android is just a viewer, so you will have to edit your info on your PC then transfer it. They are working on a full version for Android...

5) If you cant get ewallet, then B-Folders is good too:

Regarding the cost of a slingplayer setup, I got a Solo of Craigslist for fifty bucks. That makes it 80 bucks to get up and running. Don't forget you can use it from any computer too. Anyone with a cummute should look into it.

One thing I don't like about the home screens is the rigid 4x4 grid. I was primarily a MobileShell user under WinMo, and the layouts were very free-form. Allowed a lot of creativity in design. I've found a few things that get me close to this:

More Icons:
http://www.ree-yees.com/node/40
Puts 4 Icons into a 1x1 grid. Has several widgets that will allow you to put up to 16 icons/toggles into a 4x1 (complete row) space.

Launch-X
http://android.yuvalsharon.net/launchx.php
I like the look of this one better than More Icons, but I had already purchased More Icons. I might still buy this one. More Icons has system toggles (bluetooth, Wifi, etc) that Launch-X doesn't appear to support. Launch-X does support some really cool multiple page options and layouts.

Both can be found in the market.

When I get real fancy, I will figure out how to post QR codes to these things

Fancy Widget:
As I indicated earlier, this is a Sense Clock clone. I like it a lot. HTC has asked for it to be taken down, but I think it's still available for a limited time. I found a QR code for it:



Scan this with your barcode app and it should take you to the marketplace entry for it.

No, I think I had to download it from the marketplace. I ended up with two. ShopSavvy and one just called BarcodeScanner.

I use BarcodeScanner for QR codes, etc. Don't know if ShopSavvy does those or not, but it feels more price-check oriented, so I haven't tried.

I just tried this with both of my scanners. BarcodeScanner worked fine. ShopSavvy gave me the network error, but when I hit 'Retry' it went to the item just fine.
