milli vanilli Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 ADvanced Task Killer Free. shuts down all apps you want. really come in handy for saving battery life since making/recieving a call starts apps that your carrier requires on your phone.

-=Medic=- Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 first root the phone, install superuser then here is my favorit apps: Barcode scanner Pictures and media: default Gallery is very heavy so better replace it with something great and free: QuickPic: Smaller! Faster! Clearer! The best picture viewer/browser Justpictures: lets you browse multiple photo albums from Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Smugmug, Photobucket, Tumblr, Deviant Art and your SD CARD Winamp: no need to say what it is!! Rockplayer: high performance media player with a lot of functions. system tools: Titanium backup: "MUST HAVE" Root access to your phone is required to use this application. Fast reboot: "MUST HAVE" Simulates a reboot by closing/restarting all core and user processes and thus frees up memory. Your phone should be much snappier after using Fast Reboot News and network: News republic: ONE APP – ALL THE NEWS! 1'500 breaking news per day: Sports, Business, Tech, Celebrity & Entertainment Pulse: A beautiful application that makes reading news fun and engaging. Pulse takes your favorite news websites and blogs and transforms them into a colorful and interactive mosaic. facebook: you know what it is twitter: you know what it is too Dolphin Mini browser: simple, better, light and fast browser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
