Markets
|
||||||
|
=======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* AndAppStore.com
|
||||||
|
* [AppBrain](http://www.appbrain.com/user/mbirth/apps-on-the-nexus-one)
|
||||||
|
* SlideME SAM
|
||||||
|
* Market (built-in)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As Android allows you to get Apps from different sources, there are also some alternative Market applications.
|
||||||
|
*AppBrain* even analyzes your installed apps and recommends other apps which might fit your user profile.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Text Input
|
||||||
|
==========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* stock Android keyboard (built-in)
|
||||||
|
* AnySoftKeyboard
|
||||||
|
* [HTC_IME](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The internal keyboard of Android 2.1 is great already. It does its job and supports the voice recognition.
|
||||||
|
*AnySoftKeyboard* looks promising but in real world use, I found it a bit awkward - esp. switching to numeric keyboard and back.
|
||||||
|
Also it occupies more screen space. My favorite for now is the *HTC_IME*, a copy of the HTC Sense keyboard. It has various settings,
|
||||||
|
supports all features of the internal keyboard (and lots more!!) and the compact mode is good for people with manly fingers.

||||||

eMail
|
||||||
|
=====
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* stock E-Mail app (built-in)
|
||||||
|
* Google Mail (built-in)
|
||||||
|
* K9 Mail
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I had K9 in use for a while until I realized I don't need to move mails around to other folders on-the-go and don't use the
|
||||||
|
few special features of K9. I like the combined Inbox feature of the stock E-Mail app more and also the fact that it shows
|
||||||
|
mails from my company's Exchange server. The *Google Mail* app makes nice use of GMail's special features and complements the stock E-Mail app.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Messenger
|
||||||
|
=========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Jabbroid
|
||||||
|
* Google Talk (built-in)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As I have my own [OpenFire Server](http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/) at home which provides Jabber-Transports
|
||||||
|
to all my networks (e.g. AIM, MSN, ICQ, Facebook), I needed a sleek Jabber/XMPP client for Android. *Jabbroid* seems to fit.
|
||||||
|
It hangs sometimes a few seconds, but in overall, it looks good.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Podcasts
|
||||||
|
========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Google Listen (Labs)
|
||||||
|
* dPod
|
||||||
|
* also tested: *MyPod*, *BeyondPod*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*MyPod* also seemed to be fine, but the interface was a mess with all those colorful buttons. *dPod* seems fine for Video podcasts. *Google Listen* is nice for Audio podcasts.

To manually update the firmware, put the new firmware named as `update.zip` onto the root directory of the microSD card.
|
||||||
|
Then do this: (found at [androidspin.com](http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?t=2631))
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- power off the phone
|
||||||
|
- hold down the trackball and press the Power button.
|
||||||
|
- you'll get a white screen with three Android robots on skateboards → select *Bootloader*
|
||||||
|
- now select *Recovery*
|
||||||
|
- the phone will reboot showing a robot and a warning sign
|
||||||
|
- now press Power and Volume up together (if it doesn't work the first time, try again)
|
||||||
|
- now choose *Apply sdcard:update.zip* (use trackball!)
|
||||||
|
- wait for it to finish
|
||||||
|
- choose *Reboot now*

To add custom sounds to your Android phone, create the following folders on your SD-card:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
|
||||||
|
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms
|
||||||
|
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now you can put your MP3 sound files into these folders and they will appear upon the tone selection
|
||||||
|
dialogs. (You may have to wait a while until they appear, maybe even have to reboot the phone.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On older Android phones, you might have to create the folders `ringtones`, `alarms` and `notifications` in the root
|
||||||
|
of your SD card. (see [here](http://www.androidforums.com/t-mobile-g1/1757-can-you-set-music-youve-uploaded-ringtone-texts.html))

*[Aptoide](http://www.aptoide.com/)* is like a package manager for Android. It retrieves lists of programs from different repositories and lets you install, update or uninstall these programs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Here are some repositories to use (mostly from [forum.xda-developers.com](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697880)):

Android 2.2 (Codename: **Fro**zen **Yo**ghurt) brings a new feature which allows moving apps to the SD card.
|
||||||
|
Unfortunately this only works for apps which bring a flag to allow this, i.e. not for the current versions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable this globally, activate USB debugging and plug the phone to your computer. Make sure,
|
||||||
|
you have the Android SDK installed and `cd`'ed to the `tools/`-dir.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
sudo ./adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Valid values are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `0` --- Automatic (app decides, default)
|
||||||
|
* `1` --- internal memory preferred
|
||||||
|
* `2` --- storage card preferred
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

If you get *insufficient permissions* errors, run `./adb kill-server` and try the above command again.
