12 Most Useful Free Android Apps

Tue, 11/10/2011 - 13:10 | Rivaan

Here I describe the apps that I have found the most useful on my HTC Desire HD.
I have been through many many many apps and these are the ones that I am currently using.
If you find anything you would like to add or think I have left out, please feel free to comment below.
Here goes nothing.....

Barcode Scanner

Ok, so you need this app to download apps that I have shared. A very handy tool for instant sharing which can be found in the market.

Get going and get this downloaded!! No point putting a QR code to this one!!

Wallpaper Wizardrii
Set your own images, Portrait, Landscape, and Crop; all with No Scroll or Scroll. Check out set Exact or Crop Exact!

This App is a must have! Have you ever tried to set a wallpaper and you are forced to crop! Try this and it can set wallpapers exactly! I'm also loving the no scroll feature.
Quite a bit of an unknown app but a diamond in the rough!

Tweetdeck
TweetDeck is your social browser for Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and Buzz.

Are you tired of having to post the same thing on your facebook app, then on your twitter app, then on your foursquare app and finally on your google buzz app?
This App can simultaneously post your update to all four of these social sites, or just the ones you choose.
The widget is also great, you can take photos from the app and upload it instantly.
On your update post screen, with the flick of a button, you are able to turn on or off the selection to where you want to post.

ZDBox
Widgets, Battery, Traffic counter, Do not disturb, App lock, Task killer, Notification bar, Uninstaller, App to SD, Cache cleaner.

I don't use this app to its full potential although there are a couple of highlighted features that I enjoy. This App places a battery widget into the notification bar which give your a percentage style GUI. The traffic counter can set a data limit which is great if you have a monthly data cap.
App to SD - Awesome that this tool is built in. The best feature in this app, is the app lock. You have to try the app lock which can keep those personal applications safe.

Opera Mobile
A smooth, speedy, and it makes surfing the Web on a mobile device more fun and efficient than ever.

By far the best browser experience - Seems to be the fastest and most user friendly in my personal experience. There's one amazing thing about this brower that I havent found on any other brower, which is the Adobe Flash Player integration. This is the only browser that I have got this working on. This app even allows you to choose whether you want flash files to be played always or played on click. Very Awesome!

Quick Pic
Smaller! Faster! Clearer! More powerful!

This app is a lightweight gallery which really feels much faster and smoother then your stock gallery. It aslo is able to hide folders if need be. Definately better than stock gallery.

File Expert
Powerful File Manager/WIFI File Transfer Web & FTP/App Manager - ALL in ONE

Don't have much to comment on this one. App does what it says it does. Spiffy feature is that you are able to backup your apps. "Repackage them" to be intstalled at a later time. You are also able to install standalone APK files which is a bonus.

Go Launcher Ex
GO Launcher is a highly customizable home repalcement application, one of the most popular home apps in Android Market, which will run when you press your android phone’s.

I have tried the other launcher and wow is this one good! It is super customizable. If you are into making your phone look good. This is a must have launcher!

Home Switcher for Froyo
Set a launcher as your default.

If you are using launchers eg. Go Launcher Ex. This app is a must have. When your phone has more than one launcher which it will surely have (Stock Launcher and "Newly installed launcher"). You will find that everytime you press the home key is will prompt to choose which launcher to use.
It does this in quite a lot of other cases. Home Switcher is the answer to set any launcher you want to use as your phones default. This was quite difficult to explain... Lol.. If you have "Go Launcher Ex" or any other launcher, please just download this!!

Gstring Tuner
Features include:
orchestra tuning (shifting/redefining tone frequencies), different temperaments (just, pythagorean, meantone, comma, etc.), a variable range nonlinear scale, microphone sensitivity setup and pitch pipe

A simple yet effective tuner.

Moai FLV Player
FLV Player

Simple FLV Player that just works. Really never looked for another after downloading this one. Application language is not in English although this is not a problem cause the User Interface is very basic.

Win Remote

Control your pc via bluetooth or WiFi. Download the app then Download & install Server (Windows Remote service) for Windows and start it.
Download windows service from http://www.banamalon.net

Just have to list these features:
- Mouse (Moving, Scrolling, Pinch-Zoom[multitouch])
- Navigation
- Numpad
- Keyboard (Software Keyboard & Voice Recognition)
- Remote Desktop (live image of desktop)
- GamePad [external]
