Whilst there are a lot of things I love about my HTC Hero, there’s a couple of areas that can be improved. The camera, for example, is complete gash (to borrow someone else’s description). Whilst looking for an update on the HTC Hero Android 2.0 debacle, I came across a forum post, entitled “HTC Hero: Tips, Tricks & Useful Apps”.
It made me realise that I don’t have to make do with the standards programs that HTC provide (I think I was still stuck in the old mobile phone mode of getting what you’re given). The HTC camera software is woeful, compared to Camera Zoom FX that’s a suggested replacement.
Even the HTC message app (which I had no problem with) is improved on with Handcent SMS. Although I’ve tried a few of the apps on there, there’s a fair few that are new, and I’m very glad I’m now aware of them :D If you own a Hero, I would suggest having a read, as you’ll probably learn something new.
