  • Tasker (payware) - similar to Android Scripting, but instead of a language it's more oriented as configuration templates.

Device management

  • Advanced Task Killer - can automatically rid your device of battery eating apps still running.
  • AnySoftKeyboard helps you get all the öäèéû we need in Luxembourg into your texts

Analyzers

  • Wifi Analyzer - is a nice visual tool to see what hot spots are in the area and on which channels they operate.
  • War driving? Gunstick checked out several ones, but none really pleased: WiFiFoFum, WiFinder, WiGLE WiFi, Wardrive. So no advice given here.
  • Tricorder - access all the sensord on your device with a geeky interface.

Geocaching

As hackers love geocaching, here is what's useful to have

  • c:geo full featured app which can log online and store caches for offline use
  • GPS averager is useful when you hide a cache
  • MapDroyd is locating yourself on offline openstreetmaps downloaded to your device.

Astronomy

Geeks probably also have some interests in stars, ISS and other satellites

  • Predisat - tells you when there will be satellite overpasses and which brightness they will have
  • Sattelite AR - is a sky overlay showing you current satellites
  • Google Sky Map - of course, can't miss that one

Fun

  • DroidSound - plays all types of 8 bit tunes, mostly by emulating the original hardware. Get the beta from the linked site for the most recent version.

  • Fractoid to drain your battery as fast as possible by calculating fractal graphs (12 different types)
  • GOdroid for those who want to train for playing GO
  • Soundcloud (needs free subscription)
  • Sudoku Grab'n'Play can transform a photo into a playable game and even solve it for you.
