New Technology Reviews!.: Huge collection of android app

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
Hello, users today I have posted a huge collection of android apps that you should have if you have an android phone. Without this apps you phone is dumb and useless. So why not take look at the apps in detail? Read below.<br />
One of the biggest advantages of Android’s open source roots is that 
users have complete control over pretty much every aspect of the 
operating system. If you don’t like any aspect of the stock Android 
experience, there’s a good chance that someone somewhere has already 
done something about it. If you own an Android phone that is not a Nexus
 (One or S), you have probably already experienced this. HTC’s Sense UI 
and Samsung’s TouchWiz are examples of phone manufacturers’ attempts to 
providing device-specific Android experiences.<br />

This is often misunderstood by the less tech-savvy, who assume that 
what you see is what you get. But with a few downloads, you can 
completely overhaul the way your phone looks and acts.<br />

<h2>
Introduction</h2>
You don’t use the default widgets and application icons on the home 
screen? Delete them and add new ones. Stock dialer too inadequate? Get a
 new, functional one. Hate the default wallpapers and ringtones? …you 
get the idea. <br />

From the launcher and basic phone functions to all the stock 
applications that come with the phone, everything can be replaced with 
applications from the Android Market, often with better features and 
functionality.<br />

This is an attempt to collate some of the best alternatives available
 for each of the stock Android functions and applications, along with a 
few other options. These may not be the best for everyone’s requirement,
 but they all add up to a varied and often richer experience on the 
phone.<br />

<h3>
Dialer: Dialer One (free)</h3>
A lot has changed with the onset of smartphones and the gradually 
decreasing usage of dialing as a phone’s primary feature. The stock 
Android dialer does its job pretty well, but does have its shortcomings,
 which is where Dialer One comes in. It is a smarter dialer and comes 
with multilingual T9 support for identifying contacts based on any part 
of their contact details. Other features include speed dial support, 
visual customization, and the ability to back up and restore settings 
and call.<br />

<h3>
Phonebook: Go Contacts (free)</h3>
Contacts management on the phone has come a long way since the days 
of saving all contacts to the SIM card with nothing but a 
character-limited name and a number. Android provides a super-useful 
sync with your Gmail Contacts for an always available and up-to-date 
list of phone numbers. That doesn’t make its stock contacts management 
application the best though. Go Contacts one-ups the stock application 
by adding the ability to group contacts, quickly find them with any 
piece of information (not just names), merge duplicates, and more. It 
also includes its own dialing application that is snappier and better 
looking than the stock app.<br />

<h3>
Messaging: Go SMS Pro (free)</h3>
Call it a teen phenomenon, but texting has very quickly gone from a 
utility to a primary mode of communication in many instances. Although 
the stock Android messaging application feels quite adequate at first, 
spend a few minutes with Go SMS Pro and you’ll know exactly what you’ve 
been missing. Apart from an exceptional visual overhaul and some 
beautiful themes, the application also provides a much better 
conversation view, folders, and a home screen widget that is leaps and 
bounds ahead of the stock messaging widget.<br />

<h3>
Launcher: LauncherPro (free)</h3>
The Android home screen is where your world on your phone is, and 
with the zillion applications installed on the phone, a good launcher 
becomes a necessity. The stock Android launcher has come a long way 
since the days of Donut (version 1.6), but still leaves a lot to be 
desired. LauncherPro is an open source and one of the most popular 
launcher replacements for Android. For more on the application, check out our in-depth review.<br />

<h3>
Widgets: Beautiful Widgets (€1.99)</h3>
Talking of widgets: for a lot of Android users, these are the reason 
for staying outside Apple’s iOS universe. The ability to have critical 
phone functions and information at your fingertips can be empowering, to
 say the least. Beautiful Widgets augments the existing collection of 
stock widgets with some outstanding combination of function and 
eye-candy. If you have ever felt limited by the number of clocks 
available for your home screen, this is the answer. Of course there’s 
much more, including weather, battery indicators, date and toggle 
widgets, and more.<br />

<h3>
Lock screen: WidgetLocker Lockscreen ($1.99)</h3>
The Android lock screen serves a simple purpose: avoid accidentally 
setting off functions by inadvertently using touch gestures. It can also
 function as a crude security system if you add the pass code or pattern lock.
 WidgetLocker Lockscreen takes the functionality a bit further by 
letting you customize the look and behavior of the slider, as well as 
providing quick access to missed calls, incoming messages, emails, and 
current music tracks right from the lock screen.<br />

<h3>
Keyboard: Swype (free while in beta)</h3>
With the line between computers and phones blurring by the day, more 
and more people are using their phones for writing – be it messages, 
emails, or documents. Unfortunately, typing on touch screens can be a 
really hard skill to master. Swype tries to tackle the problem by doing 
away with pressing each letter and letting you simply slide your finger 
over the letters you want. It then smartly identifies what word you may 
have wanted to type and lets you choose between options if there is more
 than one possible combination. For more info, check out our roundup of Android keyboards.<br />

<h3>
Clock: Alarm Clock Plus (free)</h3>
Its been a while since I stopped wearing a wrist-watch, what with 
having a phone with the ability to show time — and even in a new way 
every day, if I want. Apart from the basic function, the most used 
feature of the Android clock is the alarm, which Alarm Clock Plus takes a
 couple steps further. A couple of features that stand out for me are 
the different types of alarms: playlist, music, app launch, even math 
problems, and the ability to simply shake the phone to snooze or dismiss
 the alarm.<br />

<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_3920" style="width: 630px;">

<h3>
Calendar: Jorte (free)</h3>
An advantage of being in the Google ecosystem is the ability to keep 
your phone synchronized with everything in your Google account — your 
calendar being one such item. A calendar actually makes much more sense 
on the phone, due to having instant access for entering events and much 
more accessible alerts. Jorte is a personal organizer that takes the 
calendar ahead by integrating note-taking and task management with your 
calendar in one sleek interface. With multiple calendar views, heavy 
customizability, and integration with Google Voice and Google Maps, this
 one’s a complete personal information toolkit.<br />

See our recent roundup for even more calendar apps.<br />

<h3>
Music Player: PowerAMP (free 15-day trial, then $4.99)</h3>
Enough has been said on the web about the inadequacy of the stock 
Android music application, spurring a whole host of alternatives that 
keep getting better by the day. PowerAmp is one of the first few real 
challengers in the ring and probably the most loved of the lot. And not 
without reason either. You get a whole bunch of extras like support for a
 whole host of file types, a 10 band graphic equalizer, themes, crazy 
customization and more. Check out our in-depth review for more. You may also want to check out our roundup of alternative Android music players.<br />

<h3>
Camera: Camera360 (free ad-supported version, $3.99 for Ultimate version)</h3>
I’ve been a big, big fan of Camera360 and have spoken about it at length in a review.
 What sets Camera360 apart from the stock Android application is the 
crazy long list of features that just keeps growing with each update — 
the six different shooting modes, the beautiful photo effects, the 
plethora of options to control your shot, or the sleek, simple UI that 
binds it all together. This one is hard to not recommend if your phone 
has a camera (and what phone today doesn’t?).<br />

<h3>
Gallery: QuickPic (free)</h3>
So you’ve used your camera to the limit and stacked up a whole bunch 
of images. Or maybe you’ve synced your account on the phone with your Picasa Web album,
 and now want to be able to show them off to friends. The stock gallery 
application is one of the better applications that come with an Android 
phone by default, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get more. QuickPic is a
 Gallery alternative that focuses on speed and function. It has none of 
the 3D wall of images and fancy transitions, but what it lacks in 
eye-candy, it makes up for in usability. If you have ever found yourself
 waiting for the Gallery to load and list your gazillion images, this 
one’s for you.<br />

<h3>
Web Browser: Dolphin HD (free)</h3>
Lastly, lets look at the web browsing experience on and Android 
device. The stock Android browser is adequate at best, with virtually no
 relation with Google’s own spectacular desktop browser, Chrome. Dolphin
 HD fills that gap elegantly, though, with true tabbed browsing, 
gestures, smart RSS detection and support for themes. More importantly, 
at least in my book, is the excellent support for add-ons. With a 
growing list of addons, including my favorites like LastPass, XMarks and
 more, this one’s my favorite Android browser at the moment. Keep an eye
 on Android.AppStorm for our upcoming full review.<br />
