Cool things to do on Android

bro!


basically, got a image: HTC_ChaCha a while ago (gay name, good phone), and i feel like i am not using it to its fullest potential.

i have a few questions about what i can do on Android

1) can i download apps on the internet (@ my pc), plug my phone in, put them on my SD card and they will work? or do i have to get them off the market?

2) any easy way to free up memory? mine only has 150mb internal, and i have moved everything that is humanely possible to SD (using appmonster app2SD, or whatever its called) and i still only have ~10mb max spare. any way to clear some huge shit without uninstalling the essentials?

3) write any cool things you can do with android here that would interest me!

hope you are having a lovely afternoon CF!

ps - dont want to 'jailbreak' or anything like that, try to keep it fairly legit :)

spamming journals like there's no tomorrow :XD
150mbit internal, that cant be right...?

EDIT: Dunno if you can run programs straight from SD, I would think that they would run way slower that way. But if not, then there is no problem.
pretty sure its right, but it seems ridiculously small to me too. annoying, because everything else on the phone is perfect

I guess it has 150MB free. Though it seems that it only has 512 to start with :/

Cool and Android doesn't work along, aspecially when theres things in the middle
let me guess. you have an iphone.

went for the Shure SE215 eventually! Recieving em in a week

that’s a pretty good pick, nice sound quality and good isolation.
however, a minor downside for me was the detachable cable which was just a little uncomfortable for me I've also read the early batches came with a high defect rate, but that problem has already been resolved i guess
Parent
the plugs will probably be annoying i guess, i'm hoping they will be strong and not part ways so easly, or i might try to find a creative solution for it

Got 16GB internal on my SGS2, u mid? ò,ó
Bragging with 16BG :)

EDIT: And by BG I mean GB.
Parent
*krhm* 32 *ahem*
Parent
THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH
I got way enough with 16 :D
Parent
You can never have too much :) Going to extend with 16GB-card as soon one pops in front of me with a good price.
Parent
The fuck do you need 48GB for? :P
Parent
I don't know, but why not.
Parent
i like customers like u :D

1) yes simply connect it, copy the .apk file on the phone and then install it inside the phone (u need Astro Filemanger or ES file explorer to browse the .apk file).

2) try 1-free-cleaner (or smth like that)

3) too much to write it now :D
what is the apk? do you mean that i download the app on my pc, put it on the SD card then run the apk file that comes with it? sorry for the random questions, i dont know much about this sort of stuff :)
Parent
the app is a .apk file.. like super-awesome-game.apk.. download this file and run it on the phone.
Parent
okay, cool, thanks
Parent
another quick question - can i run apk's from the SD card?
Parent
theres a couple of easy ways i use to quickly install an external app.

There is a plugin called "chrome to phone" available for the google chrome and firefox browser (fox to phone)
with this installed, and the android app on your phone (get it from the market) you can easily send links to your phone. this way you can easily send a link to the correct .apk to your phone and it will start downloading and it will be ready to install.

annother way i use is dropbox. just put the apk on your dropbox and download the apk from your phone there is also a dropbox app available in the android market
will this fox to phone thing install apps onto my SD card or my phone? can i choose as i do it?
Parent
it will just open the link in your internet browser, and it will save the apk file to wherever it usually does.

i think that would be your internal storage as thats where your browser usually stores files.

the function you speak of, does not exist (or at least, as far as i am aware)
Parent
root it
root it install custom ROM profit?
If you would like to get the "cool" apps where you normally have to pay for, download Applanet to download all the apps from the market for free.
heard you can add MarseilleLeFrancis' phone number
