| 3 | * Useful Free Software for Android |
| 4 | |
| 5 | We all like Free Software here right? |
| 6 | |
| 7 | As per the request of my dearest friend emacsen I bring you a list of |
| 8 | Free Software I use on Android. Perhaps one day there will be |
| 9 | something here about a fancy build daemon and package distribution |
| 10 | system for Android, but knowing me probably not. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ** Network |
| 13 | |
| 14 | - [[http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/][K-9 Mail]] Replacement for the builtin Email app that has a few more |
| 15 | features that make it much nicer to use. |
| 16 | - [[http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/][ConnectBot]] Very useful ssh/telnet and local shell terminal |
| 17 | emulator. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ** Utilities |
| 20 | |
| 21 | - [[http://www.openintents.org/en/download][OpenIntents Applications]] A basic notepad, todo list, file manager, |
| 22 | news reader, countdown timer, flashlight, and encryption thing. You |
| 23 | can put shortcuts to notes on the homescreen which is quite handy. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ** Games |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - [[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 |
| 28 | might be useful too. |
| 29 | - [[http://m.smsbox.ch/pro/frozenbubble][Frozen Bubble]] Productivity, farewell. |
| 30 | - [[http://code.google.com/p/doom-for-android/][Doom for Android]] This is actually playable on a g1. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ** Development |
| 33 | |
| 34 | - [[http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/][Kawa Scheme]] can indeed [[http://per.bothner.com/blog/2009/AndroidHelloScheme/][be used to write Android applications]] |
| 35 | (mildly out of date, but useful nonetheless). I swear, I've done |
| 36 | it, and I'll do it again. |
| 37 | - [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsOnAndroid][Emacs on Android]]. Why not? |
