    So you can ask a mod to change it, I dont think I can?
    ya, perhaps I should ask a mod to change it with your permission.

    But I would very much like if we could have a app catalog kind of thread. Would be nice if we could have a thread similar to what Gary did with the sites for free software thread...

    You mean this one http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthre...Legal-Software!

    Yeah I guess that's why I ended up creating this blog http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/entry.ph...-to-look-at%29
    when this started to become more of a discussion thread.

    Maybe we should start a new one with that data and ask the people to keep discussions to a minimum or move the questions to this one?
    .... and thanks for all the fish.

    Good idea, yeah that's what I mean. I just started putting one together from scratch but I see you already did most of what I wanted to do...

    it's also dangerous (if you have even the vaguest idea as to how the linux filesystem works)...

    Update: I started a new thread here: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthre...-app-catalogue and used Elimentals's list from his blog with his permission as a base for the other thread.

    What's this, did I cause a kind of butterfly effect with the discussion comment... Much appreciated gents. Now, also on my account, go do ten pushups and shout a lively "hell yeah!" XD

    The comments for go locker indicate it still has several security flaws, but thanks for the suggestion.

    LOL, naa this is everyone's forum so we all to blame and I guess its better to have it, as it is now anyway, a discussion thread here and an App list separate, so we can do both and not cause too much of a pain for newcomers to find cool apps by reading 20 page decisions of "Anyone know how I can do x" just to find a decent media player...
    .... and thanks for all the fish.

    I don't have the vaguest idea how linux works, so I've kept well away from rooting. But it would be nice to free up more memory by moving certain apps to the SD card. That would be my only reason.
    Data bundles: At least if I get pomped, I'd like to enjoy it.

    What phone do you have, most allow you to move them without installing anything or root. (Depends on Android version)

    Just go to Settings, Application, Manage Applications, and see if you can select Move to SD Card on them. (Try more than one as some apps like launchers and widgets will ont allow you to move them)

    ^^^ Link broken.

    you could also use this, it will prompt you after each installation IIRC:

    Un rooted, no specific order, I use all these apps often except for Android lost.

    1 AndroidLost
    2 Skype
    3 TapaTalk
    4 Pulse is nice but data heavy so I use the engadget app instead
    5 maps, Gmail, talk etc are obvious ones that you normally get with your phone
    6 watsapp
    7 swiftkey / swype, which ever is your preference
    8 launcher, I like ADW
    9 Notification Toggle
    10 widget locker
    11 splashtop
    12 Instagram

    That looks like a privacy app.

    If you're looking to set global proxy settings to access a network connection then try proxy droid on the play store.
