   3 * Useful Free Software for Android

   5 We all like Free Software here right?

   7 As per the request of my dearest friend emacsen I bring you a list of
   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).

  14
  15 ** Network
  16
  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.
  34
  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  38    (mildly out of date, but useful nonetheless).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.
  40  - [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid][Emacs on Android]]. Why not?
