[Q] utility apps for cynogen mod 7 TP

---

Hi,

I picked up a touchpad when HP held their second firesale. I loaded Android shortly after and have been running Alpha 3.5.

I would like some feedback on what are some must have utility apps for this combination of hardware and software.

So far I have AVG anti-virus, android pro widgets, and adw free launcher. I have downloaded CPU master free but haven't turned it on yet.

What are some other utilities you consideration must have.

Thanks,

Rick

hmmm...depends what sort of apps you are after, quick office, adobe reader enhanced email, evernote & skitch for the productivity stuff.

android pro widgets is a good one allows you good selection of widgets to cover the large screen (except email)

if you're after a nice clock HD widgets works well.

Choice (the free will android offers ) is yours pretty much

My suggestions:
Airdroid for quick access to the Touchpad.
Rom Toolbox and/or Titanium Backup in case you need it.
SetCPU is another option instead of CPU master free.
File Expert is often helpful
Quick Settings for turning options.

bye the way: Quite a number of apps and games are available and are really worth.
You wil find it on the market or also at getjar (m.getjar.com)

Thank you both for the replies. My original post was about utilities for the OS and software. Having said that, I'm looking for all good app recommendations.

I have installed several highly praised apps like Evernote, Google Maps, etc.

I was wondering if I should get launcher pro. I'm not exactly sure what a launcher does. Will it include new widgets? Does it also add the functionality to change icons?

Again, appreciate all the suggestions and welcome more.

Rick

The launcher is really the interface you see and use to launch apps. I haven't used launcher pro lately and last time I used it, it was not being updated. I think most people either use the default launcher, ADW, or Go launcher. There isn't much harm installing each and trying it other that the time invested setting up the screens. Every time you hit the home button, it will ask which launcher you want to use. When you find one you like, check make default and uninstall the others.

You don't need that, delete it.

Are you saying a anti-virus app is not needed or there is a better one out there?

Good to know. I have the free ADW launcher as it came with the Honeycomb look alike 3D SB theme I downloaded.

Its not needed.

What about Advanced Task Killer. That is not needed either, right?
