5 | We all like Free Software here right? |

73746768 |
8 | Free Software I use on Android. Nowadays, I'd point folks toward |
9 | [[http://f-droid.org][F-Droid]], the **excellent** market for Free Software applications. During |
10 | 2012 it made huge steps forward, and now contains software for |
11 | basically every common task (even a [[http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=nyan&fdid=com.powerje.nyan][Nyan Cat live background]], if |
12 | you're into that sort of thing). |

15 | ** Network |

17 | - [[http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/][K-9 Mail]] Replacement for the builtin Email app that has a few more |
18 | features that make it much nicer to use. |
19 | - [[http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/][ConnectBot]] Very useful ssh/telnet and local shell terminal |
20 | emulator. |
21 | |
22 | ** Utilities |
23 | |
24 | - [[http://www.openintents.org/en/download][OpenIntents Applications]] A basic notepad, todo list, file manager, |
25 | news reader, countdown timer, flashlight, and encryption thing. You |
26 | can put shortcuts to notes on the homescreen which is quite handy. |
27 | |
28 | ** Games |
29 | |
30 | - [[market://search?q=pname:com.netthreads.android.noiz2][Noiz2]] (market link). Pretty fun. [[http://ccgi.arutherford.plus.com/blog/wordpress/projects/][netthreads]] has more projects that |
31 | might be useful too. |
32 | - [[http://m.smsbox.ch/pro/frozenbubble][Frozen Bubble]] Productivity, farewell. |
33 | - [[http://code.google.com/p/doom-for-android/][Doom for Android]] This is actually playable on a g1. |

35 | ** Development |
36 | |
37 | - [[http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/][Kawa Scheme]] can indeed [[http://per.bothner.com/blog/2009/AndroidHelloScheme/][be used to write Android applications]] |
38 | (mildly out of date, but useful nonetheless). I swear, I've done |
39 | it, and I'll do it again. |
