Re: Android useful app catalogue.

Pity it doesn't work on custom firmware. Sammy stock based only.

Yes, kinda glad I held off on rooting for now.

Talking about dead links I find it funny that Google Body is "dead" when you search for it, or even if you use a direct link when loged out, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.body

Unless you already had it as installed then it comes up no problem See: http://i.imgur.com/keXvKl.jpg

I wonder if the app in question is not like Body as well, its still there just not available for new installs.

Side note: Pity Google Body was remove, I still love this app

Do not know if it will work see http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1252942/Body_1.2.apk

If not you can always go get a copy from the underground somewhere.

I see the new TomTom offline Nav app has launched

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomtom.southernafrica&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnRvbXRvbS5zb3V0aGVybmFmcmljYSJd

At R377 you can buy a lot of data on the the normal Google Maps though!

Also Google maps cache so the only data is for POI and searches

Re: Android useful app catalogue.

As far as I know you cannot initiate navigation off line either

Re: Android useful app catalogue.

Using Copilot and works great, no connection needed.

Yup. When on wifi you can Cache the maps of places you live in e.g. JHB or places you plan to visit.

There after you only use a few megs to work out a route for navigation or find points of interest.

Android useful app catalogue.

There seems to be a Tasker competitor app out, called 'Atooma'. And it's free. Will be checking it out soon...

Llama too. Location aware via cell towers which is pretty neat.

Give https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.co.unix.callerSA a try, will tell you the location of landline numbers of callers not in your contacts list. Give it a try and let me know what you think

I've just discovered Maluuba. Its a great Personal Assistant app (not unlike Siri). Seems to get most things right. Wish it had a widget though.
