Is there something I can use to control the phone from my PC? Say I have the Netflix app running and connected to the tv, and want to control it remotely.

Is there anything that would allow me to control it like Unified Remote lets me control the PC from my phone? I was looking at Chrome to Phone, but it does not seem to cover that.

Is there a widget that shows all "events" that happen? Example: on the Xperia X10 there is a timescape widget that shows all new phone calls, emails, voice mails, texts in one place that looks like index cards. Anything like this for the Sensation?
Have you tried Executive Assistant +

Oh, Just a brief FYI,

I'm only going to be updating the list like once a week from now on. This will give me a chance to look at all the suggested apps better.

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions for the list! And I love hearing what apps are your favorites!

video recorder

Is there a good video recorder for the Sensation, one that allows me to control the audio (e.g. sampling, bitrate, compression) and can record in stereo?

I've tried lgCamera/lgCameraPro, but it doesn't record in stereo on the Sensation.

I'm not sure the sensation has a stereo microphone.
I am sure it does have stereo mics. Besides the fact that it says it does in the specs, I have the Sensation, and the stock HTC video-recorder records in stereo or mono (and it is verifiably stereo on playback on stereo speakers). The only problem is that with the stock HTC video-recorder, the mic gain for stereo is set too high (or perhaps the bitrate too low) whereby too much clipping occurs.

I'd like to get a recorder similar to lgCamera, which gives control over audio recording properties, but is able to record the Sensation's stereo. lgCamera says it can record in stereo, and I've been in touch with the developer, providing him samples and logs and apk, but he has been unable to get stereo working.
