(opinion) Apps that work with "Root" and w/out "Root"
First off.. I am a minimalist (I don't like a cluttered looking phone- just an opinion)
All of these are in a somewhat particular order of importance (again... just my opinion)
-w/ Root-
Superuser (by ChainsDD) - Grants and Manages superuser rights for you rooted phone... This app requires that you already have root or a custom recovery image to work(like ClockworkMod)
ROM Manager(ClockworkMod) - AN ABSOLUTE MUST IF YOU ROOT AND FLASH... Manage your ROMs via handy UI. lets you organize and perform backups and restorations.
ShootMe(screen grabber) - Allows you to take screen shots of your device and share them via email, facebook....
SMS Unread Count - Home widget for showing number of unread items for sms, missed calls, and GMail (I use this because I have custom Icons on my home screen)
-w/OUT Root-
Yahoo! Mail - obviously if you have yahoo mail it is a great app
Documents To Go 3.0 Main app - I get emailed alot of native MS docs for work and this allows me to view them in their proper format. I dont edit on my phone so I went with the free version- if you want to edit then pay up
Backgrounds(StlyemMedia) - Tons and tons of backgrounds by category
SwiftKey Keyboard - I have had an OG droid, DX, and now the Incredible... I have tried every type and style of keyboard known on the market (i think), and SwiftKey is the absolute best keyboard there is. kinda scary, it's like it reads your mind!!!
ACast Pro - podcast player for android... easily add any podcast by URL or search.
Facebook for Android- needs no explanation
Clockr Evolution - customizable date and time widget.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
These are just a few of the apps that I am sharing, obviously there are already native apps on the Hinc... like navigation, Google maps, and Flash 10.1
- I am currently running Cyanogen CM7RC1#7/.37incredikernel and it comes with
ADWlauncher- lets you pretty much do what ever you want to your look and style of apps and app drawer(for example that is a pic of my GF and when pressed it opens app drawer).
Any questions just ask... thats what these forums are for!!!
