Best Apps&Widgets

If your phone is rooted then use Droidwall to control what apps have access to your data connection and what apps use WiFi. Really great app and its free :).
 
Here is a nifty little app that I found, just shows the percentages that all your apps use the battery... Think it would help if you have a rouge app chowing battery life!

Didn't you purchase the full Route 66 navigation? Why need Google navigation?

Nope - it Route 66 just started working after I was trying to get the above to work :p Although I'd still prefer Google Navigation, route66 has hardly any points of interest on it.

You can also download MapQuest for free....it's available in the Android Market.

I know Route 66's POI is really crap, but the navigation itself is very good.

Couple of bugs on this one.
GPS lock is fast, but it's always placing me in the next road while driving or a good few meters adjacent to it.
When taking turns, it really gets d****y.

Might just be a bug, but I don't think navigation settings are functional in RSA.
Another bug is that the "Open data" settings keeps on popping up, even after you've checked the button for it not to anymore.

Really hope they work on this some more - I like the feel of it and it searches and gives results for addresses quite fast.

Hacked Google Navigation that works in SA:

Besides that, nope. If you want something that works offline you'll need to buy/pirate it.

Jeez talk about imposing instructions :p :D
Thought I'd read up alot on rooting and flashing roms :eek:
Gonna give it a bash though.
MapQuest's turn by turn not working for me.
Whenever I ask for directions, it can't plot a route.

Just download the renamed and tagged version, and install. That's the easiest way.
It will show up as a separate app to the official Google Maps.

Without un-installing the original Google Maps?
And does it work for sgs i9000? See that it's in the G1 section.
