I am trying to find the original Change Of Culture thread and I cant. Just spent the past hour searching and reading. No luck.

Did they delete it?

Actually mine is trayless.
Straps are for holding cups.

There is bloatware. There's always bloatware.

But okay, if you insist...

Opera Mobile. It's generally considered one of the best browsers for Android. In my opinion, the only flaw keeping it from perfection is the super aggressive auto complete that cannot be disabled. A lot of people will also swear by Dolphin HD, and Mozilla Firefox, AFAIK, is trailing these two.

TapaTalk. If you want to ever nef from your phone, it is a godsend. It does have a cost associated. Again, if you might nef from the phone, spend the couple bucks. I would not nef at all from my phone if it weren't for that app.

Swype or Swiftkey X. I know Swype is in beta, I think SK is also. My personal preference is Swype, because I like to use big words, and Swype does that better than SK. Both of them blow away the stock keyboard.

No Lock. Disables the lock screen. Personal preference, you might not give a damn about the lock screen, I don't like it very much. Install it, try it, if you don't like it, no harm, just delete it.

Dropbox. The ultimate way to move files around between computer and phone. Just get it.

Epistle. If you want to do notes for some reason, it works great with Dropbox.

Facebook. Only applies if you use Facebook, if you do, Android Facebook app, beats the stock HTC app.

Gmail. Does this need an explanation?

Handcent SMS. Majorly a personal preference, there's a few other texting apps, and the stock app isn't all that bad. I prefer Handcent after a few months of using it, and Swype requires it.

Picasa Tool. If you want to shoot and share pictures from the phone, it's useful. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

Prey! GET THIS. Or some similar "halp my phone is lost/stolen" app.

RealCalc. Better than the stock one, if you want a calculator.

If you want custom ringtones, Ringdroid and Ringo Lite are a nice combo.

If you want movie or video playback, RockPlayer Lite, although that might be a root app, I don't think it is.

ScanLife, scan QR codes. I've yet to make use of it.

Shazam, recognizes songs by listening. It's fun, and since "memory" is plentiful, who cares?

And yeah, that's about it.

My guess is it went to archives after the forum switch and so many years of inactivity.

This seems to work.

Problem is that the Panache is a Canadian equivalent, it's a little funny, and it's a small seller. The idea of that ROM is to convert it to being another phone almost.

It was a lot easier for me on a Thunderbolt, it's a much more common phone.

You could also check for a Cyanogen Mod, that's a really popular ROM, dunno if they have it for you.

I can use all those... I think I have a few of them already. and I don't FB or Tweet or whatever variant of social media you want.

first I need to get a cheap 32gb class 10 microsd

 

[sdifox]

I am not sure I will root the phone. Bottom line, I just need it to work as a phone, and the occasional internet access/games is fine.

Strapless gutters where every man's mind spends 17 hours of the good day?! :biggrin:

what other kind of cups have straps?

 

[Rubycon]

what other kind of cups have straps?

They fly around a pole and the harder the blow the faster they fly. What are they a part of?

 

[sdifox]

what is really annoying about this phone is if you slide with the touchscreen the screens move in the direction of your finger, but if you use the infrared dohickey, it is opposite...
optical trackpad I think they call it.

the windspeed thing? anenometer or wahtever they are called. them cups are on stems.

 

[Rubycon]

Spokes would be the correct term.
Yeah a typical cup anemometer.

spoke is part of a wheel...

 

[Rubycon]

You have the hub in which the spokes are attached.

No need to argue, they say "A spoke is one of some number of rods radiating from the center of..."

Spoke is the correct mechanical term for the piece that holds the cup to the rotating hub in which a shaft is pressed into. That's usually suspended with a pair of very light resistance bearings. In between these points is where the encoder disc is attached to convert revolutions into pulses for speed measurements, etc.
