Recommended Apps on the Market

So I got g1 last night and I love it, downloaded a few apps from market so I figured I would share recommendations for apps I have so far. First tmobile hot spot locater is a must. Also got myspace which is cool but not really needed. Wikimobile is awesome, a must have and any cut program allows you to place shortcuts on homescreen on just about anything on your phone, including battery. Which programs has everyone else found useful, recommend?

Would you recommend it over shopsavvy? Updated my first post as well, by the time I'm done my first post will take up the first page lol.
As far as the file manager its a good start but can't open most of the files which sucks.

Cool thanks gonna switch em out right now!

I didn't like the solitare interface. It was a forced landscape, and the card sizing is funky...not the cards themselves, but the symbols/numbers. They should've taken a cue from WinMo and made the hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades oversized so that they're more visible.

apps installed from Market

hi guys, i installed a lots of appz from MARKET. and most of them have AD in the bottom which consumes data. Is there a way to get rid of them?

If you are rooted you can use an app called AdFree. It basically edits the hosts files do the ads are blocked.

Yes, the way to remove ads is to buy the apps. If you're so ungrateful to the developers who are releasing their apps for free, then you shouldn't download them.
This is the reason why the Android Market will never match the App Store. If no one can make money from their apps, no one will release apps.

... speaks a google stock owner? Or ... is it you, steve?

Come on, those ads don't consume that much data...And considering all the apps that are free, if you like something, buy the donate version or at least click on some ads in the app...

ignore me i misread.

Speaks someone who respects the hard work by many developers in creating apps I use on a daily basis.

Obviously you missed the point. If a user removes the ads from an ad-supported app, then the developer isn't making money.

There's plenty of websites where you can buy Android apps from. Thankfully, unlike iOS, you can install apps from any number of sources.

What do you mean by that? Something like Amazon, or maybe something like AppBrain, AppAware, Android PIT, etc.?
Or maybe even black markets?

AFAIK the amazon market is not avaliable outside the US
At least, it's not avaliable in Germany

For me it´s Appbrain.

In the last couple of days appbrain is mostly down(the site and the sync in android).

They all have there pro's and cons,
Android market is good, only mainly ... install direct etc but no backups.
App brain can be a bit clunky .. but . does back up apps... again it installs from the Android market ..
The others?... not so good.

download tigermame from the market which plays all cps2 roms!

or get FPSE (ps1) and rip the game to your phone

I'm a bit giddy to see that my video found it's way here that damn fast
Anyway, it's actually pretty simple and easy stuff... TigerArcade from the Android Market.

I searched on the market but can't find any of the apps listed..anyone have a link to it for the market?

wtf? it used to be at this link
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tiger.game.arcade2
now it's not.
Oh well... minor obstacle... guess you'll just have to get the APK. Latest version is 1.4.4
I'm not sure if I can link to it.

You may want to ask Google "Where Are Tigers".

I know that a lot of the emulators disappeared a bit ago.. however asking people to do a search for "Where are Tigers" would likely give off articles on Southeast Asia or India. ^_^ (real tigers, instead of Tiger emulators)

I used FPSE then purchased rom fetcher: playstation, to download marvel vs capcom
i highly recommend rom fetcher for people who dont no how to get roms the traditional way or cant be bothered

ehhh the PSX version of Marvel vs. Capcom is the worst version...
Is Tiger Arcade being pulled from the market? Daaang....
EDIT* looks like all the Tiger apps are gone....

All Tiger Apps here:
http://apps.tigerplay.net/
They are free, there is no need to hide.
Be warned though, latest version of TigerArcade (which runs Marvel vs. Capcom perfectly) does not have save states, and the old version with save states does not work.

Probably the same reason yongzh's emulators got removed. Complaints by the game companys? They probably will be bringing out there own versions or something similar i guess?

It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.

Absolutely doubtful. Sega, who allegedly had yongzh's emulators pulled, has not announced any plans to release anything for Android. I'd point at Gameloft who has certain interest in the XPlay but just don't want competition for the new games from the emulated ones.

If Gameloft wants to push out something original to compete with what we'd be emulating, they're more than welcome to.
Based on their other near-IP-theft jobs, I think they'd be the best candidate to try re-creating MvC... or some 2D fighter that brings mobile phone gaming out of the touch-screen-limited ghetto.

Gold apps on getjar?

Hi, I've just discovered getjar doesn't show me the gold apps category ! This happens only on my phonr (oxygen rom) or getjst is become a boring alternative market?
Inviato dal mio LG-P500 usando Tapatalk

Getjar has already removed the gold apps category! Now they have some kind of reward scheme, but definitely worse than before.
Getjar has really become another boring alternative market
