Capn_Ascii Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Okay, so recently I came into possession of my very first home. :lol: Not a rental, but my own, honest-to-goodness house. Granted, it's a single-wide trailer and a bit worn around the edges, but it's still mine, dammit! :angry: ...ahem. Along with this relocation came a new cell phone - one that, unlike my old phone, has unlimited calls and text. More importantly, it's a smart phone - my very first one. ^_^ Having never had this level of technology before, I've been absorbed in all the myriad of ways to abuse its power and/or waste my time more productively than ever before. It's an Android phone - an Electrify-M - and I figured I'd come on here and ask you folks what sort of geeky games, apps, and other goodies I should put on this thing. I'm already working on getting ScummVM going with my favorite adventure games, but are there any other killer apps I should be on the lookout for?

Collector Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 How about one of the DOSBox ports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nockgeneer Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Some of my Android apps (some of the free+paid are must-haves): Free: AntTek Explorer — Best file manager available IMHO. Kingsoft Office — Best office app hands-down... and it's free! Kingsoft Clip — Saves clipboard entries. There's a desktop version as well for sending stuff across. Handy little tool. Hacker's Keyboard — Great keyboard, especially using 5-row mode in landscape orientation. Llama - Location Profiles — Keeps track of signal towers for location-based setting for your phone. Great for setting it automatically to silent when you have a meeting schedules and such... GPS Essentials — For playing with your GPS beyond navigation. Geohash Droid — For all your geohashing needs. Zedge — For finding cool ringtones easily. yaaic — IRC client. Evernote/Catch/Google Keep — For taking notes. Google Drive/Dropbox — For your on-line storage. Google Translate — Can translate more than text, e.g. sms and voice. Chrome — ... Feedly/News360 — For reading rss feeds. Go Launcher/Holo Launcher — For changing up the launcher interface. Go is really nice and full of customization, Holo is really streamlined. Wind-up Knight — Awesome runner which really shows off gaming graphics on Android. Free (but have paid version): aCalendar — Best calendar app hands-down. ('+' version is mostly to support the developer.) RealCalc — Scientific calculator. (Plus version adds some extra calculation modes and a landscape layout.) HomeFlip — Sidebar app manager for quick-switching between apps. (Full version enables some extra customization.) Archos Video Player — For all video playing needs including flv (Full version removes adds) Moon+ Reader — Best eBook reader hands-down. (Pro version adds a PDF module, note-taking, and a million other things.) Paid: PowerAmp — My favourite music player. There are awesome free ones, but none that cover everything like this one does. For a free one I'd probably suggest doubleTwist or the free version of either WinAmp or Rocket Player, but none are as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
