see my topic "what apps are you running??? " its the sam topic as yours
My list of apps
3
Well I been testing all sorts of apps the past two days since I got my Novel.This is what I have come up with. Most of the apks I have taken from my Nexus One just to make sure they are up to date.https://www.box.net/pdn-android-appsI am looking for people to help to add to this list. Space and bandwidth is no issue so we can load it up with all sorts of working apks. Just contact me so I can give you access to the folder.Here are some of the apks I recommend. I do use all the apps uploaded currently but these are just the main ones I am recommending.
- Adobe Reader - It does a great job displaying pdfs and it pretty snappy BUT doesn't do bookmarks or index listing as far as I can tell.
- Advanced Task Killer - Great as long as you don't abuse it. These type of apps can actually make you android device worse if you "free memory" excessively. So create your ignore list and set an auto kill for every few hours.

- Aldiko - A MUST!! As long as your books are in epub format
Calibre can help with that if you require any converting.

- Amazon Kindle - Nuff Said :-D
- aTrackDog - Nice app helps me know what is out of date. It can also update apps if the developer has their apks listed on their website.
- Dolphin Browser HD and the Add-Ons - 2.0 was slow but 2.1.0 seems to have sped up a bit and with the addons like Adblock Plus web browsering is much easier on the Novel.
- eStrong File Manager - Powerful file manager does local, network,and ftp browsing. Running swiftp on my nexus one and grabbing all the apks without having to use a computer is just awesome.
- LauncherPro - This home launcher is actually the best one I have used. ADW and Panda were both very slow. I have managed to setup LauncherPro with the bare minimum settings and it's damn snappy!
- Opera Mini - Fast browser but bare minimum.
- Paperdroid - Love this app! Syncs Read it Later and Google Reader accounts. Truly shows the power of the Novel as a reading device.
- SlideScreen - Google Home replacement syncs with twitter and facebook as well as other services. It looks good on the Novel but I tend to lean more to LauncherPro. It's my 2nd best though IMHO

- Smart Android Apps AudioManager Widget - Gives you easy access to the volume controls of the Novel.

xxcalibur;19391]see my topic said:Not really the same topic' date=' I don't ask people what their running. I just posted a link of what I am running and what I recommend. Also asking people if they are willing to contribute to the list by collabrating with me since box.net allows more then one uploader we can all upload to the section, making it a good source to find the apps that run perfectly on the Novel.I did start with my Nexus one but when an app doesn't work from the Nexus one I jump to my G1 which is running 2.1u1 and then to my 1.6 emulator as a backup and last resort.I am pretty serious about finding working appsBiPolarBear;19457' said:.Oh everyone I just updated Aldiko to 1.2.12 which fixes issues when downloading from some online catalogs.![]()

The internet access on my Novel is sketchy (can't connect at home) so these downloads are very welcome to me. I'm liking Aldiko, and I'm looking forward to trying it online next time I head to the mall. I hate the Barnes and Noble part of the PDN's reader, and I'd rather be able to download from Amazon, so I'll give the Kindle software a try, too.If you like games, there are loads of them to download from PandaApp Android Download CenterThe local downloads don't always work (try again later, or another day), but many of the apps have download links hosted elsewhere that do. It's also trial and error as to which ones will work on the PDN, but lots of them do. The ones I've tried and kept on my PDN are:AmtaleeAntibodyArkanoid (runs slow, but so do I)Astraware SolitaireBejeweledBlackjack ProBlow UpBonsai BlastBuka Lite (cute)Chill Pill (sleep sound generator that can combine sounds, like creek with frogs)CubicMan LiteDeal or No Deal MDMDevilry HuntressDungeon Wonders (haven't really played this one yet, but it looks like it loads alright)FartDroid (childish, but who hasn't tried it?)Farty Farty (lol)FatMouseFrozen BubbleJewellustJewelsKatamari MobileLED ScrollerLight UpLoopsMagicalDrop TouchMahjongMaru MaruMechanics TouchMemory TrainerMeteorFull (slow)Million Dollar Poker (moves way too fast for me, but still kinda fun)Moron Test Lite (lol)Nobel FartOregon Trail (blast from the past!)PapaStackerPoke a MoleRetro Defense (you have to power off to get out of this one, but it's a good game)Shoot U!Sneaky Fart (can't get enough of these)Space Man (very cool!)Space WarSpheremare DemoSpongebob Squarepants Soundboard (who doesn't love Spongebob?)Super TumbleTiki Towers Totemo (kind of annoying, but kids might like)Tower BloxxTV Shows Hangman (graphics overlap a little, but playable)UnoWordWrench Full (I totally SUCK at this, but it's fun)XGalaxy 2There are lots of other apps there, too. I love Bedside, it's a clock display that is so dim you can't see it in daylight, but it's very visible at night without lighting up the room. UltraChron is a nice timer and stopwatch. MemoryForLemmings will free up memoryTwicca is a nice twitter widgetIf my PDN would connect to my home wireless, I would have a lot more on it, but I'm lovin' it as an ebook reader, and for playing simple games (keep your ps3's, wii's, etc. they're too complicated and fast for me, lol).
