What apps do you use most? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What apps do you use most? The facebook/twitter widget is number one on my list for most used, but it has a lot of room from improvement. In the home skype gets used the most due to poor cell coverage. And outside I would say google nav is my most used. Even in areas I am familiar with I still use it for reference and incase I have a craving for that unknown restaurant the epic can show me the way.
I made a short video covering the homepage apps on youtube. I am too new to post a link...strange as I have post links before. Anyways go to youtube and look for kraisydave.

Go to Amazon.com on your phone and download the new Amazon App Store app. Angry Birds Rio is free for a limited time, and they have a different paid
app for free every day!
Also, SetCPU is free for XDA members: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Here are some of my favorites. Some are paid apps:
GPS Status & Toolbox: good for GPS troubleshooting
Home Switcher for Froyo: If you need to manage your launchers
Ad Free: root only, kills ads on many ad-supported apps
FPse: Playstation One emulator
Google Translate: translates typed and spoken word
Rockplayer: best video player I've found so far
Titanium Backup: root only, a must have for backup up apps and app data
Picsay Pro: Add cool effects (and silly stuff too) to photos
Dolphin Browser HD: Works with Flashplayer hack to play Hulu
Pew Pew: fun free shooter game
Shazam: Identifies songs
Google Books: similar to Kindle app (Google has its own store), but syncs your place in the books automatically via your Google account
Pandora and Slacker: customizable internet radio apps
Barcode scanner: scan bar and QR codes
Swype: the best touch screen keyboard. Get it by signing up for the beta: http://beta.swype.com/

Task / To do list

Hi,
What do you use to manage task and to do list?
I am lookig for an app that have these:
- good matching with ICS user interface
- support Google Calendar
Previously, I used Astrid, but this app is ugly.
I use any.do from the marketplace

The app is very nice looking (modern and sleek) and works great. I would also recommend it.
The only thing i wish is that it would sync with exchange if desired. It will sync with your gmail if you wish.
I tried Any.Do, it is nice looking.
But the widget is not that good.
It should be ok though, because I will use Pure Calendar Widget.
The only problem, Any.Do is not yet supported.

tasks
Gtasks by dato is excellent for large task lists, and mutiple (much better than any.do) as you can side swype to access lists.
I have tried just about everything, keep coming back to gtasks as it is solid, syncs perfectly well to google tasks. It also is supported in widget form by agenda widget which is incredible. the gtatsks one is average but combined with agenda widget, it is unbeatable. So if you syncing with google tasks, this is it, if it is stand alone then astrid, if it is small lists then any.do is pretty.
edit: Having re read OP, gtasks doesnt well sync with calendar..... sry
I'm using Due Today.
Only drawback, not much sync option at time.
I have been using Taskos. Can't fault it and it has all of the functionality that the OP mentions. It also has a decent widget as well...
Astrid
I use "Yata todo list" from the market.
the widget is cool.
Astrid paid version, 4 x3, transparent.
I would go with astird combined with astrid power pack

[Q] Best Twitter widget for alternative launcher

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on the ideal twitter widget for my specific needs, because I've seemingly tried them all and not found one that beats the Sense one (Yes I know most people seem to hate it, but I'm not most people )
In particular, I want a widget that either can replace or work with the HTC Twitter app.
The one feature of the HTC app which I love is the ability to preview the links in a tweet in an integrated browser. I know some other apps do this, but not in such a user friendly way (imo)
Attachment shows what I mean. While I like Plume, and it has an integrated browser, that is only full page - the HTC app lets you look at the tweet while previewing the link.
I tried about 10 apps last night, and the one one I can find that comes close to the same behaviour was ubersocial. Unfortunately, the widget seems to have a problem with sizing on the HOX, not to mention that its not scrollable.
I realise the behaviour I'm detailing above is in the app - but what I'd like is a widget I can use in Apex that will either open the tweet directly in the HTC app (or ubersocial) or another app with similar features.
At the moment I have to use a separate widget to preview the posts, then open the HTC app and find the same tweet and use the preview function. Or use Plume (whose widget I don't really like and isn't themeable out of the box) and read the tweet OR the link, but not both together.
May seem an odd request, but I can't believe I'm the only one who likes the HTC app but prefers using a different launcher?
BTW, I'm mostly talking about web page links - I know that many of the programs show images inline with the tweet.
Any suggestions as to other ones I should try?
Last night I tried the following:
Colorize widget
UberSocial
TweetDeck
TweetCaster
Android Pro Widgets
Seesmic
Twidroyd
Twitter
Plume
Pure Messenger
and none of them did exactly what I wanted, though UberSocial was close.
Any further suggestions?
Gavin
And, that's why we get HTC phones with Sense; it comes fully armed with (mostly) best-in-class widgets & apps. Sorry I cannot be of much help since I'm right where you are - only, I've given up and rediscovered why I go with HTC, and not Samsung, to begin with.
Enjoy the hunt and kindly let us know if you find a worthy replacement.
Cheers
I use Android Pro Widgets, closest thing I've found to friendstream yet and they have good widgets for bookmarks, messages, calendar if you want to ditch Sense completely and go aosp.

I personaly use "plume", The widget is very nice .

Which one is the VERY BEST/SPECIAL app for any typical UTILITY...?

Hi guys,
You can just share here the very best apps for any useful utility. So that others will make use of it. I Have installed 28 apps as of now.
The very best one is 'aScreenshot' app. Simply by pressing long the 'Search' key(Navigator) it takes a screen shot and stores it on SD Card. I Just like it.
Even on advanced devices today you have to press two keys (Power+Home) for a screenshot.
Hey, here are some of my favorites:
Messaging: Go SMS Pro
Diary: Memoirs the dairy
Notes: Evernote
Free Messaging: Whats app
Browser lite: Opera mini
Browser: Dolphin Browser or UC Browser.

- Data Monitor: Traffic Monitor
- Timer: Ovo Timer, again, if you like minimalist design, you'll love it (although it'd be nice if you could change the colors)
- Keyboard: Swiftkey 3, I just sort of have to type the words, and it will predict and correct it, I can type the fastest with this
- TV Show Favs: if you watch a lot of series, it is a must have app. Imo it is much better than the MyEpisode app
