[Q] Must have apps - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have checked and havent found something like this yet so if it is out there I'm sorry.
My question is what are some of the apps you have found since rooting your evo that are "Must Have" apps.
Like I know about wireless tether but what else.
I know I could just go to market place and look for apps but that really doenst tell me if they are any good, And I'm sure people here have found apps that they just can live without.
So what have you found that is Must haves? Utilities, social, media, games. anything you consider must have?
Thanx
P.S. I think this is an approriate place to post this but if not could one of the ops move it to the appropriate place, thanx

Nothing? Really?

Check out the link in my sig. The OP has a decent list of apps that I use regularly and other people have posted their lists too.

I forget the name of the app since I have flashed many ROM's since I last used it, but the one "must have" app is the one that pulls in over-the-air local hd tv. It put Sprint TV to shame. Anyone remember what it is called?

Would love to know.

mikfroyo evo!

Once you're rooted, do the following mod @ forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879996 and then you can stream XViD/DiVX movies over the network... that's my favorite.
Dropbox can be run without root, but that is my other must have app...

Search.
This has been asked and answered many times. There area few good threads listing must have apps. I'm on my phone so can't link

First post here! Yipee! And a couple of questions on removal of a few apps.

I will start by sayign I checked over the first 5 pages of the forum and used the search feature on the site but could still not find the answer I was looking for.
2nd I have OCD And I really want to clear out as much of the preinstalled crap that came on the phone that I don't use. I have already gotten rid of about 10 items and the phone is still running fine but I am unsure of how to tackle the rest.
Can I...
1) Get rid of friendstream and still have facebook sync working after mainly for syncing my facebook phone contacs? (I would/could disable my facebook sync account before the uninstall and add it back after but will this work?)
2) If I remove footprints can I also remove the CAR PANEL app? I (probably like most here) only use maps but have not seen anyone mention the removal of car panel. Also what would the command line be? /system/bin/rm /system/app/CarPanel.apk ???
3) Final question if I remove the voice dialer would that have any impact on any other services?
Thanks in advance guys.

Well, I'll put you on the right path, but you'll have to find your own way. You need root to remove system apps, which are stored in /system/apps/ I believe. You will need to research where such apps are stored, and how to root your phone. I recommend looking at the subforum specific to your phone.
^^^ I have the Incredible phone and I am on the General Incredible forums. Also I am rooted otherwise how would I already removed a bunch of apps? (Which I stated in the original post)
I am just asking about these 3 apps in particular.
This is like the most unhelpful forum I have ever been to.

I don't think anyone really knows the answer to your three questions. Why don't you just make a nandroid backup then experiment? Post your results here when your done so others can learn from it.

Next time learn-2-read instead of posting out of your ass! I mean what kind of response is "Well, I'll put you on the right path, but you'll have to find your own way"

Thanks for all the lulz, bro. Although I'll warn you that deleting Footprints can break Facebook syncing. I'm pretty sure there's a "list of apps that are safe to delete" thread in this good forum. Not to be "unhelpful" or anything, Mr. Entitlement.
Yea I tried to remove friendstream and the sync problems start up right after so I just did a Nandroid backup and all is well.
I also tried to remove the car panel app but it wasn't going through.
If anyone else is reading this can someone tell me what the command line might be for that? I was trying all different variations with a capital C & P and nothing was working.

If you do a simple google search, you'll find this forum HERE , and will see that you have to manually tell android to stop the sync for this app
I also found the answer to removing car panel HERE

I'm looking for an app that... (users help users suggest apps)

I was thinking about this at work tonight. I don't know how well received this topic with be either. The purpose of this topic is to consolidate questions from users that are looking for an app that fits their need with suggestions from other people. I know that one person could not possibly know all the apps and games out there. Maybe you could suggest something you have seen, used, or are using now with fellow users that can't seem to find an app that does what they want to accomplish. This does not mean that if someone suggests something, that they have to teach someone how to use the program too (unless they don't mind helping them get set up or warning them about possible snafus). Sometimes there are apps that aren't in the market but on a website somewhere, and are great to have. For example, Music Junk, is a good prog to dl music (cough, cough). Google music junk android and I'm sure you will find the dev's site.
Anyways, I don't know how well of an idea this is but at least it's an attempt to help others out. I will be watching this thread as long as it stays on the first page or two of this section.
There was an app called paul's app of the day, lots of people use it, paul must be a popular guy.. idk.. looks like he's from Madaco forums.. but it did have some apps that we all know already.. but one or two that I never thought to check out. i did remove it after a week or so.. don't like to have too many apps if I don't use them.
AppBrain will suggest stuff based off what you have installed and what other users have installed in comparison to you. If I have x, Y, and Z and you have X and Y it will suggest Z.
FWIW - Paul O'Brien is the founder of MODACO...I follow him on twitter - he's like a Cyanogen in the UK. was big into G1 dev, I think he supports several devices, and did support the Hero when we first started getting roms on it.

[Q] youtube Downloaders disappearing off market?

Anyone know of any working youtube downloaders? Seems the ones I have used in the past are all pulled from the market (Freedi was best but they went all Chinese or something ....Youtube Ripper is gone also..along with another one I used whos name escapes me atm)
Are there being deemed warez also and google is facing some legal issues with having them, or am I just blind?
If they are ok to post, could someone please shoot me an apk or a link somewhere to an actual working program?
Thanks in advance!!
Er should be titled TRIED, not tired...but hell I am tired come to think of it lol
I have no Android solution, but I use YouTubeDownloader on the PC & it works great.
Sorry man. I got nothing. I can help if you want a pornhub downloader though lol.
Yes, they do seem to all be disappearing with no rhyme or reason. I have TubeMate 0.9.10 on my phone, here's the APK:
http://db.tt/oM8POF6
And you should probably change your title to something like "YouTube apps disappearing from market?".
ack thank ya for the linky and LOL @ porn ...That actually cracked me up thank you\
Changed title
First off, I need that Porntube downloader please!
Secondly, all the Youtube downloaders are disappearing because Youtube wants you to come to THEIR site to see the videos, not download them and save them. Youtube makes money off advertising when you visit and click stuff, they don't make anything if you download the videos.
That said, I like Jet VD myself. It lets you pick the quality etc and works VERY well. Unfortunately, it was just removed from the market the other day. I'll post the .apk when I get home though, it's free anyway.
That or try googling it.
hey hey hey!

It would be great if you would post it, as I can't seem to find it anywhere.
JetVD is about the best I've seen.
Freedi is the best, I use it myself. It appears to be in Chinese, lol. But after you download it you can change the language and what country your in. Hope this helps.

Bible Apps for Archos 70 Internet Tablet ...

I'm looking for good Bible apps for my Archos 70 Internet Tablet. I've already downloaded all of the free Bible apps, but I'm looking for something with more features.
Does anybody have Bible apps for your Archos tablets?
I'd like to have several Bible apps, one for when I can connect to the Internet, and another for when I don't have access to the Internet.
Try Olive Tree Bible software. It's the cream of the crop!

YouVersion is the best in my opinion. It's just called "Bible" by LifeChurch.tv in the Market. (http://www.appbrain.com/app/bible/com.sirma.mobile.bible.android)
It's got offline versions now so you can download them and read without being online. It looks great on the 101 so I'm sure it would look nice on the 70 also.

I already had that app! Since it's only called Bible, I didn't know what it was until I opened it. Confusing, with at least four different apps, all called just "Bible."
Is there someway to rename apps?
Download the Kindle app and then do a search for Bible. There are several free ones and Kindle has some nice features like bookmarking, text selection, what-not. I only read with it...haven't really explored the features...
It might cut the mustard for ya though.

I just downloaded Kindle for Android, but I can't find it on my Archos. I checked the default Apps program and Apps Organizer, and Applications Shortcuts. Kindle isn't anywhere to be found!
Oh yes, Market shows Kindle as already being downloaded.
Try Acrobible Lite.

Thanks! I had it, but didn't get around to checking out all the features. I've added Acrobible Lite to my Bible folder.
I love this version Talking NASB Bible by Tecarta, Inc.
I use the YouVersion Bible to keep track of where I am, reading through the Bible - Chronological, but read the NASB Bilble! I did pay for it, but it's a great app well worth it!
havent seen the words olive tree in a while... must investigate
Ive always used "live bible" on all my android devices, simple and easy to use, might consider a new app soon for more study needs but live bible does the trick most of the time (except when i have no network)

[Q] Bought a "rooted" kindle fire. seems like its missing part of the root?

Hey everyone, I have a couple questions about rooting a Kindle fire.
I bought one for my wife off of Craigslist for $100. Great shape. works great. Internet browser works great.
It has several applications installed on it related to GO? Like GO launcher EX and GO store, GO weather themes, etc. I thought I could use the GO store to download apps but everytime I would try to search and download I would get no search results not matter what I typed in the search bar.
The guy I bought it from said I could use Android market on it to download apps but I couldnt find the market anywhere on the tablet.
I assumed it needed installed so I downloaded Root Explorer and was following directions to install android market from a Youtube tutorial. Everything was working great until I needed to "move" an exported file to another file location.
The kindle was not giving me the option to move the file and the tutorial said if I didnt have that option I was not rooted.
So can I "reroot" it and then install android market?
Any advice you can give would be great, sorry if this was covered in another thread.
thanks again! :good:
wow thanks for all the info! really helps! Ill try that asap
And no I do not have a kindle fire. I just bought it for her because she wants to be able to read 50 Shades of Grey whenever she wants....lol

by "the first book" do you mean the bible? that's free on most outlets such as the kindle app which is available from the google play store. nobody here is going to direct you to a link to pirate things though... if you must find illegal copies of books I would try searching for digital copies of the book in question on google
