Must have apps

Hello fellow forum buddies. I have a Samsung Epic 4G that is currently rooted on Stock DI18. I tend to switch back and forth to the DK28 leak and flash roms quite often when I get bored or what not lol. I have a gift card left over from the holidays with $3.41 left on it (just a regular visa gift card). Since I'm probably never going to use $3.41 at any store or restaurant I thought hey I could use it on the Android Market. I have most of the paid apps for my rooted device that are a must have except widget locker (still debating). Wonder if there is any other good - great apps out there that are a must have for this phone. I also have ADW Launcher EX and Launcher Pro Plus. Just thought I'd throw this question out there to see what I could find. I appreciate everyone in this forum and what you do that help me and others learn about this phone and other phones. On a side note I found out today that my wife and I are having a little baby girl!!! Thanks for all your help.

Thanks man and yes I know they don't stay little for long lol. I either need to hit the gym or buy a gun for when she starts bringing boys over lol. Yeah I have root explorer and that is probably my favorite app I have that I bought. Do you have widget locker and if so is it worth it?

If you ever find your self with ****ty reception I recommend roam control. This allows you to force your phone to roam.

I love Roam Control. Spent a weekend in the mountains and was getting terrible service. Roam Control helped save the day.

Roam Control will definitely be on the list for the future. Don't plan to go anywhere that I don't already have service in right now. I do have a quick question though to you or to anyone for that matter. An AOSP lockscreen for Rooted Stock DI18. Anyone have the link. I won't be able to search. My turn to make dinner but that's what XDA email notifications are for lol. Thanks.

Well for me it was always a case of as soon as an update comes out, well it wipes out that black theme, and I see more apps having theme options in the future.

Bonsai uses Zeam as the default launcher and the blacked out apps are usually a theme choice.

I hope more apps adopt a black theme (i'm looking at YOU Google Voice and +)
call me stubborn, but i'm totally stuck on launcher pro, so i rarely give other launchers much use/consideration...

I thought I was the only one who used Zeam launcher and as many blacked out apps as I can find.

just sold my EVo 3d and got an epic touch! any recommendations on roms? thanks in advance!

I'm running Starburst. ViperRom is great too. Both are actively updated at least a once a week (fixes or full updates). The former has Touchwiz, the latter has GO Launcher.

I tried every rom I could get my hands on, and Midnight ROM is definitely the best hands down (in my opinion of course). Right now I'm just running stock kernel with cwm and a stock rooted rom, also flashed the No CIQ update that's out. A few custom tweaks like running cpu profiles and the phone runs like a dream! My only complaint is the LoS issues but that doesn't seem to be affected by the kernels/roms; and I don't get it very frequently so an occasional reboot is no big deal...maybe a good thing if anything! Good luck flashing, buddy.

Starburst rom is great this is my second Samsung phone. First sprint try them all

Just downlkad it to keep up with the updates. Do you have an accent. I'm from the East coast and it understood me fine. It's alpha so its to be expected.
I hope they update it to work with the search button.

Actually, considering how short a time it took Dexetra to build Iris, it is a very impressive app. I have the first version (different from what you can get from the market) and it is hilarious. More for fun and developed in one night!
The version on the market, released only a week later is already 100% more capable which is a pretty tremendous growth cycle. Give it a month and I bet it is on par with Siri which has been around a very long time. There are also a half dozen other options available (Voice Actions, Voice Search, Vlingo, Assistant, etc.) They are all pretty decent.

If you are on StarBurst, you can set any of them to be default on search long press (or any other app for that matter.)

No, no accent; I was going to keep it just for the updates, but I figure its gonna take awhile until it works really well. Until then, its voice dial/vlingo/voice app

Guys "Jeannie " destroys Iris. Voice Command Plus is the paid version and has quicker responses. Its a plain interface but I haven't stumped it yet. You will probably like it better than Vlingo or Speaktoit or any of them

Miui v4 ics preview

Check it out, IMHO this looks gorgeous
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Very interesting. I'm not sure if I like it or not, I think I def. like everything except I'm not sold on the launcher, it looks dated.

Looks nice but doesn't seem too different from the usual miui
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

Well MIUI is MIUI so it is what it is. But with ICS you get hardware support.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

From the bottom of my heart... ----> **** Miui
Educate yourself!

I have to say that looks just about like past MIUI iterations. And I agree with what someone said earlier in the thread, the launcher does look quite dated. Quite frankly I never did like MIUI because I'm not a fan of imitating the iPhone.

God damn that music app is beautiful.
As much as I hate MIUI's lack of app drawer, I love how everything is skinnable and gets updated frequently with useful content.
Also they just seem to have a better handle on interface design than any manufacturer or in some places even Google themselves.

You are using Android, and you are on a forum called XDA-developers. Presumably you care a little bit about software freedom, openness, being able to tinker and not be limited by what some vendor tells you to do.
So what the hell are you doing with MIUI?

So you're telling people who take advantage of software freedom by using the software of their choice to not use the software they like?
Seems a bit counter-intuitive don't you think?
In fact the very idea behind the "freedom" of Android is the release of free source code for developers to do whatever they want with. The developers behind MIUI just happen to be making something you dislike.

Miui is actually pretty cool if you replace the launcher; the built in customizations are pretty in depth. I agree with most in that I hate the stock launcher and iPhone appearance, but that all easily goes away with ADW or Go!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk

i hope that music app will work on other roms, that looks amazing vs the stock android music.

Sorry my eyes can't justify going back to MIUI after ICS.

The Music.apk from MIUI usually works across the different roms. I'm pretty sure you can install it and get it working.

I have to agree here. Stock ICS is damn good. I used to install all sorts of roms on my N1. I flew stock on my NS for the 9 months I had that, I don't see that changing with the GN, really digging what they've done with this phone and OS.

I personally don't like Miui because its too much like iOS and less like Android but you are so wrong here.
I know bench marks are not worth much but I could get my Nexus S to score over 3000 in Quadrant using Miui. Only Miui. I could not get score's like that with other roms.
Its a very very good rom, just not the Android style.

[APP] Next Launcher 3D free today only 6/7/2013

I saw some other threads in other areas but I wanted to let you guys here know too. I just got it and downloaded it for my wife too. :good:
Next Launcher 3D is one of the more highly priced 3rd party launchers for Android, but with today’s little trick, you can get the $16 powerhouse for free. The launcher features crazy 3D effects, turning any device you own into a futuristic Tron-centric trip. With additional themes and custom widgets downloadable from Google Play, it’s an extensive and extremely comprehensive option for someone looking to spice up their device.
To grab the full edition of the launcher, follow these instructions pulled from Slick Deals.
First install the ”lite” version from Google Play, then once you have it installed and running as your current launcher, go into the Menu (the furthest right icon in the dock, 3 vertical dots) and go into Preferences. Go into “About the Full Version”, then choose “Activate” button (it may appear grayed out but just press it) and enter: “nextlauncher3d” as the account and “appoftheday” as the code. Enjoy.
It’s that simple!

As far as I know, yes. I checked in the Play store after I activated it to see if the full version said "Purchased" but it doesn't . I don't see why backing up and restoring wouldn't work unless they update it later to remove activation.

Worked perfectly.... Thanks

You mean that this free offer only works if you don't update Next Launcher 3D?
I purchased my Next Launcher about 2 months ago and I just checked and there
is no update of it today in the play store.
The last update at the play store was June 7th. which was v1.35
If you would have made a titanium backup of Next Launcher 3D you could have restored
the full version you had and just kept the same version until or if you decided to pay for it.

I did happen to make a TB as I've been flashing a bunch of different roms the last 2 days, and also didn't get to play around with it that much as a result, but....
Quite honestly, I despise companies like this. They offered a free promo to get people to download it. The way it "SHOULD" work, is those people tell their friends how good it is & they make their $$ by all the word of mouth advertising. Apparently they got a larger download than anticipated (which should be good), but their only and OBVIOUS intention was to TRICK people into downloading it. Setting it all up & spending quite some time with it, and then intentionally breaking it with the hopes that even 10% of the people buy the app now at full price! Horrible. I not only wouldn't give them a penny for their launcher, let alone if they develop any other software I'll be sure to stay away.
On a side note.... People should check out everything.me launcher. Brand new in beta & FREE. Very cool concept & different.

I just checked that launcher out and I even watched the video but that launcher is only good for people who
want to buy stuff ranging from food to movie tickets and a lot of other things which the launcher does a very
good job advertising whenever doing a search for anything. It creates nice icons to use for shopping for stuff.
Being that the launcher is still in beta it really does an excellent job in what is was intended for. LOL
