Ok, I just brought my first smart phone Samsung galaxy s2. Now I am totally lost there, any tips on useful apps and other need to know stuff? And is it possible to get a lot of good apps for free without rooting the phone? :)
 

Buy on AliExpress.com

    Most of the good apps are for free. Rooting does not allow you to get paid apps for free.

    Look at the first few pages of the thread, you will see a lot of tips on applications.

    I'm such a noob :p

    Is it free? or does it requires constant internet acces and downloading data, because that would be extremly expensive?

    The map itself would need a one-time download(at least for the regions you frequent), but Navigation will access the internet. I read that Google will update Maps to include offline navigation. Not sure.

    Wait rooting will not allow me to get paid apps for free ?? WTH, so i have to pay for them now ?

    I rooted my SGS and installed the lag fix on it. Now its as smooth and quick as any other phone out there imo. Fucking loving it now.I dont know why Samsung and Google did not push this update straight to the phone and people have to do it themselves.

    :lol: You don't have to root the phone to install cracked paid apps for free. All you need to do is go to Settings, Applications, and enable 'Unknown Sources'. Thrn all you need to do is get the .apk file of the app you need to install.

    I know that. I rooted my phone to boost the performance.

    But If the phone is rooted, can you still get the cracked apps from applanet for example ?

    A first rooting technique for the IS is now available :weee:

    But I will wait for that a bit, I want to see how it goes for the beta testers.

    And one more thing, after trying many internet browsers on the phone, nothing comes close to the smoothness and responsiveness of Firefox.
