Android Fanboys. Pasok!!! (No to Piracy here!)

[WeaponX]

Tsikoteers, share your + or - experiences using Android OS. Currently enjoying my mobile phone and also planning to buy an Asus Eee Transformer tablet. (Sana magkabudget hehehe)

Before I was a Windows Mobile user but now became an Android convert. Android is fun to use because of so many cool apps from Market that I can freely download and install.

Mobile Phone: LG Optimus One with Froyo (just waiting for Gingerbread to arrive in the Philippines)

Fanboys, pasok na!!!

[niky]

Favorite apps:

Retro Camera
Car Performance Full (pretty accurate, and GPS lock-on not as fiddly as other car apps)
PvZ (meron na!)
X Construction
Google Maps
Layar
Torque (GPS signal fiddly, but man, is it cool)

Lots of games besides those, and lots of other neat apps... but my phone was recently reset, so now I'm looking for new ones.

Used a LG P500 Optimus One Froyo OS for six months. Upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S II Gingerbread OS. Using Launcher PRO Plus.

Customised Homescreen and Lockscreen...

Wow. Ganda ng review sa Galaxy S II. I'm still contemplating if I'm gonna upgrade to an HTC Sensation or S II or just buy a tablet.

Some of my favorite apps:

Market
GoWeather
Camera360
Rockplayer
FruitSlice
NDrive - LG 01 GPS apps (dati mabilis mag lock-on now hindi na. I wonder why)
Nimbuzz
PowerAMP
Unified Remote - Remote Control for Boxee and XBMC

Yung XConstruction dati meron ako but I removed it. Hirap ako e. hehehe

[normanenoza]

buy SPB shell 3D in the app market if you want launcher eyecandy. but, it will drain your battery faster than ever.

been using it in my cherry mobile magnumHD with froyo.

HTC Inspire and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Juice Defender plus for my phone, and yes battery will last longer. SwiftKey X keyboard for both my phone and tab. Also been downloading free Apps of the day * Amazon app store.

[niky]

I also needed to download Juice Defender for my Galaxy S, but since updating to Gingerbread, it hasn't been as bad as it was before, anyway.

Thinking of selling my Galaxy S and upgrading to the Galaxy Tab (even if it's not upgraded to S II specs yet) for the form factor.

X Construction is cool. The physics are pretty wacky, so you can do some weird things with it.

There are lots of good time wasters on Android... unfortunately I'm not quite happy with the selection of RPGs and strategy games yet.

I have the original Desire, running a custom GB ROM (RCMix S 2.0).
Nainip na ako sa kahihintay sa HTC ilabas yung GB for Desire eh.

My favorite apps:
* QuickPic (picture gallery alternative)
* SpringPad
* Titanium Backup
* The Angry Birds series.
* Deathworm
* Apparatus (similar to the old Dos game, The Incredible Machines)

I’ve never tried Custom ROMs as I'm patiently waiting for the release of Gingerbread for my phone. I hope LG release it before the month ends. Based on what I read, Gingerbread really improves the performance and battery life of your phone.

Juice Defender is good but sometimes I need to disable it as it prevents my Wifi to connect. My friend has the same experience too. He's using HTC Desire with Froyo.

For me, I was originally planning on using Custom ROMs when the day comes that HTC declares end of support for my Desire. But I guess I got impatient. :D My main driving factor in ROOTing and installing a custom ROM was the ridiculous main memory limitation of the Desire -- a paltry 148mb. Even with App2SD (which moved the App files, to SD but kept the app data and dalvik cache in main memory), I would still be getting the annoying "Low Memory" warning every couple of weeks.

The custom ROM I'm using provides a nice hack which creates a symbolic link in the main memory's Apps folder to the SD card, effectively fooling the OS into thinking it's got more memory than 148mb.

Another nice thing about custom ROMs is that they usually come with a CPU Frequency Governor. The CPU Governor sets the CPU frequency depending on the usage level of your phone. If your phone is idle, it underclocks the CPU to the lowest possible level. If your CPU% goes up (e.g. you're playing a game), it sets the CPU frequency to normal. With the CPU Governor, the battery life of my Desire went up dramatically. Before, my battery would run out roughly 18 hours after a full charge. Now, I can get as much as 36 hours on a full charge before going empty. (Heavy texting, browsing, occasional games)

*ess,

What custom ROM are you using? CPU Frequency Governor seems interesting.

Hehehehe.

If and when the official GB update for your phone becomes available, you can go back to stock by re-flashing an official FROYO ROM. After that, the GB OTA should kick in.

I'm using Galaxy S on Froyo.

I like the many apps available in the market. I love the HD Wallpaper app (I change my wallpaper every week). Other apps I like are the Layar, Latitude, Ringroid, Translate. I am addicted to the 250+ Solitaire.

Rooted with LeShak's cfw kasi Samsung's fw is very slow
Will be upgrading to 2.2 soon
