I have joined the Android club getting the LG Optimus S (one of the weaker Android phones). Got the phone free with the two year upgrade, but I have to pay 10$ more a month now. It was either that or get the Touch Pro 2 (WinMob 6.5 :() for 200$ and not pay 10$ more a month. I figure I'll just pay a little more.

Went ahead and rooted it and put a custom ROM on it (Reborn Rom). It's based off an LG Rom, so it's fully functional for the most part, just have to avoid any updates (which there haven't been any yet). With my unlimited data plan, I set up the wireless tether, but not sure how much I'll use that since wifi is everywhere and I have a fast home connection.

What APKs should I put on it? Went ahead and put all the banks, ebay, paypal, etc. Then I put this sweet APK called Aplanet which is basically like Installous on IOS. Got a QR Code reader as well.

Let me know if there's any other cool things I can do with the phone.

EDIT: I'll make a list of recommended apps in the thread:

[CENTER][b]Amazon App Market (free apps daily)

Amazon MP3 Store (stream music over cloud)

Angry Birds

Cardio Trainer

Google Goggles

Google Sky

Google Voice

HBOGO

Nesoid

Pandora

Plants VS. Zombies

Rockplayer

Shopsavvy

SlickDeals Feed

SNesoid

StumbleUpon

Yelp

Yfrog

Yoo Ninja[/b][/CENTER]

In addition to the amazon app store, the amazon mp3 store will allow you to steam music directly from your amazon cloud drive instead of taking space up on your phone.

Also just a note, Plants vs. Zombies is supposed to make it's debute on Android in the next few days, a Amazon exclusive and free the first day.

Others I like using are HBO Go, Cardio Trainer, StumbleUpon, Yelp and Google Voice as my message system.

The Amazon App market gives away decent paid apps for free daily.

Yeah, I installed the Amazon App market which could not be found on the droid market interestingly enough. There is a cool app I found which is basically an alert for the Amazon daily free app.

SNesoid, Nesoid, Angry birds, Google Goggles,

Not sure how well emulators will work without controls. I have a couple DS's and a PSP for that kind of stuff. Angry Birds has already been installed and I'll check out 'Google Goggles'.

Does anyone know if there's an app to easily send pictures to an image hosting site? I know picasa is built in so I can send my pics there but I'd rather send it to one of the more common imagehosting sites like imgurl or imageshack.

Photobucket has an app that is suposed to do that I downloaded it today and havent tried it as of yet so I cant make any claims as to how it works.

The daily app today on Amazon is really fun. 'Yoo Ninja', check it out.

Yeah I know, I've played my fair share of that today. It can be frustrating, but addicting. The Amazon App Store is a must, I've got my Incredible full of cool games. Still waiting on Plants vs. Zombies to come out...they originally said by the end of this month so only a few days left.

I'd also say add a barcode scanner to your list, I use ShopSavvy but there are a few on there.

      Edge Rushers

      By Basbear · Posted

      These last couple playoff/championship games for the edge class will mean millions. Someone will have a big game and become the favorite top edge. Everything is on the line for the edge group now.

      What Are Your Top Offseason Targets Now That Bryce Young Is Showing Promise?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Because he's not the best prospect in the draft, he's the best college player in the draft, and those are two entirely different things. Yes, if he focused on one side, his stats may have been better, but stats aren't what makes a player's prospects, it's their abilities and how they translate to the next level. I'm also not knocking him as a prospect, not like I'm saying he's a mid round pick, he's just probably the 2nd best CB and 3rd best WR, in what way is that throwing shade on him?  It's literally saying he's a Top 10 pick, just not THE top prospect at his position(s).  I really don't get why you think someone saying a player is the 2nd best player at one position and 2nd or 3rd best at another position is hating on them, it's crazy talk. Even in your defense of him here, you say a just asinine sentence, "he's the #1 rated prospect because he's actually elite at both positions" His ability at 2 positions has 0% bearing on his NFL prospects, as no team is going to use him full time both ways, he's either going to be a full time WR, or a mostly full time CB who gets 5 or so snaps a game on offense.   So him playing both positions shouldn't factor into any team's draft evaluation of him, if a team is taking him over Johnson because of the few snaps he'd play on offense, they're choosing a player for the wrong reason.  The only way I'm taking him over T-Mac is if it's a team that already has a true outside #1 and what they need is speed in the slot to compliment the outside guy (and btw, most teams don't have that, if anything, most would have the slot guy and need the true outside #1).

      Remember when @CamWhoaaCam didn't bandwagon that team that was having a surprisingly good season?
