✰Useful apps for hTC Sensation & post your best 3 here✰

Try Colournote (free) i have found it very useful and have been using it for some time: It allows the widgets for the common notes to be placed directly and the checklist notes have notification icon for due items!!!great for to do or shopping lists etc...

Can't find colournote in the android store. But there are a lot of notes apps already, so I guess we aren't missing anything.

I've updated the list, and am thinking of ways of breaking it down by category. For now I'm not going to say what date I added what because I'm lazy, and you can always read the posts to see when an app was suggested.

Broke up the apps by category now. THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK! Hope it makes the list useful.

Added Volume+, now that it works with HTC Sensation.

Here is a must have app for the list:

Wallpaper Wizardrii:

How WW works. WW will take any size image and set it as your wallpaper; which means you are no longer forced to Crop a large image to set it as wallpaper. Images are found by a media scan. There are 6 options and they all do something a little different. Scroll will resize the image to fit best within Android's typical scrolling wallpaper setting. No Scroll will do the same thing as Scroll, exception it will prevent the display from scrolling, so you will only see the middle of the image. This setting is good for portrait images for example. This setting will also set your image on top of a solid color; which you can pick from menu->preferences. So if you choose to change from No Scroll to Scroll the image shouldn't get larger. Instead you will see the background color to the left and right of the image set with No Scroll. The Next option is Exact. This will set the image exactly as you see it within WW. This is the best option for images which are smaller then your display size so they do not become pixalated. With this setting the background color will also show. The next three options are the same as the first three except you are choosing to crop some portion of the image. Crop Exact will attempt to keep the aspect ratio of the image you see within WW. In addition you can control the horizontal crop independently from the vertical. There are also options under menu and menu->preferences. Such as changing from Scroll to No Scroll without having to change your wallpaper.

An app that I've been using is call "Rocket Dialer" It's a far better dialer than any of the stock ones. It makes it insanely easy too to do 3 way calling and picking up call waiting. There is a pro and a lite version. I use the pro, but I'd suggest trying the lite to see if you like it before paying anything. One more cool feature comes to mind. When your looking at your contact list on rocket dialer, you can draw a letter with your finger and it takes you to the people with a name beginning with the letter you drew in. It's pretty cool. I hope a few of you like it...

HD wallpapper, is actually pretty sweet!
Same for Evernote, Nimbuzz (in my eyes, the best IM app out there. Combines all the IM-clients in ONE!), and for the fun of it; The official FML-app!

can this thread be pinned on first page?

I looked through the thread but didn't see anyone mention Handcent. It's my very favorite SMS/MMS app. Lots of ways to customize the look and feel.

just want to have phone restart button, is such thing available?

There is already an app in the phone. "Voice Recorder".

Also from HTC Hub you can get a "Recorder Widget" which is a simple one clock widget to directly start recording.

You already have the option to restart the phone in the power menu, long press button and its the 3rd option.

There are a ton of them. just look for recorder in the Android market. It depends on if you want to record phone conversations or not.

Added Handcent SMS, Rocket Dialer and Wallpaper Wizidri. Didn't add other suggestions because there were no links or even good descriptions of the apps. If you want apps in the list, make sure you describe them well, links to the android market are also appreciated.
