Just got a new smartphone

[rathoriel]

I just got a HTC Inspire android phone. what are some nice free apps to download for it? Some people say they watch anime on their phones what apps are needed (I dont really plan on doing this but i want to see what its like) where are some sites for good free ringtones and wallpapers.

Just copy ringtones and wallpapers from your PC to your phone. It's the easiest way, and least likely chance of your phone/computer getting AIDS

if its using anything lower than an ARM or integra then you might wanna install the "kill my tablet plox" app. because it'll help you get a better tablet next time.

It's a phone, not a tablet. Power is less important - definitely not the main thing to base a purchasing decision on.

Anyway, for apps I recommend MX Video Player for watching anime, MortPlayer for listening to music, Moon+ Reader for reading ebooks. Other than that, whatever takes your fancy, really.

he was talking about playing animes though well he could play 480p without problems, but once he climbs higher then idk whats gonna be happening next.
though there are phones that are capable of playing'em animes up to 720p is what i've heard. dat dual core 1ghz android phone.

Why would you want to play greater than 480p anime on a phone anyway? The screen's tiny.

[kitamesume]

^ yea i know right, i wouldn't even consider watching anime on such a tiny screen to boot =P
don't look at me lol, i'm not the one searching for an app to play animes on a phone >,>

I think you reeeaaallllyyyy need to learn to read more carefully.

Edit: I should start a blog titled "Shit kitamesume says."

I occasionally watch anime on my phone. Not often, because it really drains the battery, and since the biggest MicroSD card I could find was 16GB I can't store much. But it is actually a pretty nice way to keep yourself entertained during long journeys or whatever. Not nearly as good as using a full-size screen though, of course.

right, in general, he was just looking for some fun apps. well the good news is, theres alot of android apps, the bad news is, the only app i enjoyed playing on a phone was cat physics which is an iphone game... booo? so i can't really suggest anything badass? as of now.

Edit: oh and, yea i'm bored, i just finished watching lain aaaaaaand no one is replying on my questions on some other thread, but whatever?

I get less stutter with MX, but if the video isn't experiencing it, i prefer using Mobo. It has an indicator right on the icon to show which ones you've already watched.

Will be looking into MortPlayer. Thanks.

i use MX Video on my Droid Bionic and it plays 720 perfectly but i do have a dual core in it, but you should be able to do 480 fine, i did notice on my phone that it lags a lot when using the 10 bit @720 haven't tried 480 yet

[Ultra_Magnus]

I watch anime on my desire HD all the time, but i transcode it first using handbrake to save battery life...

If he's like me tho, i hate to waste time and space transcoding anime. So being able to play resolutions and bitrates higher than the display means playing anime is as easy as copying them onto a memory card.

manga Casa - has awesome anime backgrounds.

atorrent - android torrent client....works very well

ACR (android comic reader) - I use this for reading manga.....it can open .rar files without the need of extraction or another app. download your manga from either here straight to your phone via atorrent or off a website like manga traders. very easy to use app.

zedge - great for ringtones wallpapers and notification tones

all if these can be found in the android market just by typing the titles in!

always scroll down when deciding on a app and read the comments try and read 20+ to get a good average rating.

PM if you want any more info....I have been using android since it was first ever released

First and foremost, root that thing and put a custom rom on it that is free from your carrier's bloatware. I personally run Cyanogen mod on both my Thunderbolt and Nook Color. It's a great minimalist experience that uses minimal resources. Basically, its a almost completely stock Android that you can completely customize to your liking.

As far as apps are concerned, I know you said free, but I would recommend you try out Netflix and possibly Hulu Plus. Netflix has a free trial.

Free apps:

1) YouTube - You probably already have it but if you don't get it. It's a great way to watch YT on your cell. Way better then through the browser IMO.

2) FREEdi YouTube Downloader - Allows you to download YT videos as either a video or AAC or MP3 file right on your phone. Simply amazing.

3) TuneIn Radio - Listen to terrestrial radio stations from all over the world using your internet connection. I listen to very little modern commercialized music stations these days but I love being able to listen to the BBC and European electronica radio stations. You can even use your GPS to locate stations in your area.

4) Speed Test - Test your bandwidth speeds. I have a Thunderbolt on Verizon so I'm always testing and showing off my 4G speeds. I'm such a dork lol.

5) Winamp - I prefer the stock music player but WA is awesome for listening to ShoutCast. ShoutCast has some great Anime and Japanese J-Pop stations.

6) Opera Mini - My favorite browser. Super super fast. Great for times when you are stuck on a 1x connection.

7) Dolphin Browser - Great for when you want to view website as would on your PC.

8 ) Google Navigation - Pretty cool. Still not as good as a Garmin IMO but it's getting better all the time. It's fun to use.

9) Crunchyroll - I'm sure you already know them. They have an app for watching anime.

And crap. My cell just died and I'm too lazy to go to the car to get my charger. So I'll have to get back to you on the rest of the apps I feel are essential because I can't remember without looking lol.

I hope that gets you started.

Essential apps that you can't remember without looking at them.

There is the essence of all smartphones, right there.
