Hi guys new to the forum and new to android, should be getting my LG tomorrow . I was wondering what your top ten apps are for the LGo 2x. I did see some other threads for other phones but maybe because of the awsome power you would be using other apps for this one ?

Or after rooting what shoud be the first apps to install ?

Anyway thanks in advance for the advise..

Well if your going to be interested in installing custom roms Titanium Backup is a good app for backups restores etc.

As for the apps heres a list of my most used ones:

• Androidify (fun)

• Chrome to Phone (if you use Chrome)
• Dolphin browser mini
• eBay
• Facebook
• Motion Fart (haha!)
• Root explorer
• SwitchPro widget (very useful)
• X Construct
• Wireless Tether
• Where's my droid

For me:

Tasker
PowerAmp
Market Enabler (needs Root)
Titanium Backup (needs Root)
NewsRoom RSS reader
LauncherPro Plus
Beautiful Widgets

Loads more, but just to get you started In particular I recommend Tasker, its the most powerful app on Android bar none - don't let the learning curve put you off, once you get it its amazing (and replaces dozens of other apps on the Market).

There's no need to use Chrome - you could use it for Firefox with Fox2Phone. It uses the official extension, just makes it usable in Firefox.

Out of interest: Why are you recommending Dolphin Mini? The 2x has no problems with handling Dolphin Browser HD which I am currently using - is there a reason to switch?

My top 10 apps:

- Camera 360 : camera app + photo effects
- Screen Off & Donate : to turn off screen (instead of pressing the power button - useful to keep your power button trouble-free)
- exDialer : MIUI-like dialer, nice looking
- Navitel : for offline navigation
- GPSFix : for faster GPS lock
- MIUI Music : MIUI-styled music player
- Beautiful Widgets : nice looking clock & weather widgets
- Smooth Calendar : nice looking calendar widget
- WidgetLocker : great-looking lockscreen app
- Pocket : to keep your password, user ID data protected.

You should totally get Modern Combat 3 Fallen Nation. It's the best FPS on Android. It is even for sale around this time: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1418979
