7 Must Have Applications for My Android

I just installed myself a slick new ROM for my Nexus One and I figure why not share the applications I deem MUST-HAVE. It would be interesting if in the distant future whether my must-haves still remains the same.

  1. Twidroyd – twidroyd.com
    The BEST Twitter client for Android. What made me comfortable instantly was its UI. Everything is right where they’re supposed to be enabling me to Tweet without being confused small buttons for my thumb.

    The paid version offers a bigger widget applet. I paid for this app not because of the widget but because it’s just plainly great!

  2. Robo Defense Free – Lupis Labs
    If you ask me why the free version, it’s because I can’t pay for it without doing some workarounds. Nevertheless, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna be addicted and consider this game like drugs hahaha.

    Want the paid version? Google it!

  3. Adobe Flash Player for Android – adobe.com
    I didn’t really like Flash on the desktop but with mobile devices, I’m loving it. Code once, deploy everywhere ;) I’m installing this to have a go with Augmented Reality but still need more success with Android’s camera :(

    Other than that, go ahead and install FroYo owners, the games are worth it!

  4. Barcode Scanner – ZXing
    Need I say more? Very useful and handy, you’ll never know when you need this app!
  5. Wikitude World Browser – wikitude.org
    This app is the primary reason why Augmented Reality is a no brainer in Android. You can use this with pre-defined layers or integrate it into your self-built applications.

    The best thing is that for now, everything is still free. So get it now!

  6. Foursquare – foursquare.com
    Ok I admit it. I just love the badges and the points I’m getting everyday lol. It’s just fun and this is what every application should be.

    I haven’t tried Foursquare in any other platforms except Android and Blackberry. I have to say the Android version has a very high usability point. It’s damn easy and self-explanatory. Kudos to the guys behind it!

  7. Google Goggles – google.com
    This is by far the coolest Android app I’ve ever tried. With the support of one of the biggest image bank in the net if not the biggest, Android users can show off anytime to anyone lol.

    I just hope Google stayed on recognizing objects and not people.

So that’s my 7 must-haves. I’m sure with these 7 apps, you’ll always playing with your phone draining the batteries. Thank God for unlimited Internet connection :D

Augmented Reality App: Poligamy – In Action

Hello again. Happy Sunday everyone! I compiled a video about Poligamy in action. It basically features the barebones of Poligamy. The location data is courtesy of URBANESIA.com. Thanks bro :)

This video is meant to show the world that Indonesia is right on track technologically speaking.

Poligamy is powered by Mediafusion Interactive Communication and a box of The Laughing Cow Belcube – Cheese Spread Cubes.

Enjoy!

[HELP] Beta Testers Wanted for an Android App

Good evening all. Continuing my Guest Post at DailySocial.net, I’m beta testing an Android app titled Poligamy lol. Need your help :) It’s an app to test real world HTTP connections and also to test Location-related features. I added an Augmented Reality viewer to trigger your geek souls hehe.

Poligamy is built upon the Urbanesia class I posted before. It gets its POI data from Urbanesia and distribute the data into 3 main parts of the app which are List View, Map View and Augmented Reality View. It’s still in its early stages so it’s not too fancy, will do fancy things after it’s rock solid :)

Some notes, for the Augmented Reality View to work, you will need Wikitude installed. If you haven’t install it, the app will ask you to install Wikitude. The app is compiled for Android 2.1 (Eclair) with Google API. I used a lot of 2.1 features so my apologies for < 2.1 Android phone users.

Anyways, before going through, please make sure the followings first so you can install the app directly from your Browser:

  1. Go to Settings - Applications
  2. Check on Unknown Sources

This DOES NOT do any malicious things and you have to take my word on it. I will share the source code if you’re that interested.

INVITATION: To all location based data provider in Indonesia, if you want your data source to be included into Poligamy or any other inquiries, I would gladly do so. Please tweet me and let’s talk about it over coffee. Thanks.

Scan the QR code below on your Android phone to download and install Poligamy.

Would appreciate it if you’d be so kind to tweet me or Comment this post about how the app is performing with your Android phone. Thanks in advance, enjoy Poligamy!
