Only game that I've completed all levels, and no it's not Angry Birds, is "Where's my water"

I love that game

Nova Launcher on the GNEX is pretty good

Another one I just used on a SA trip is Trip Journal. with GPS it marks the location you want, then adds photos geotagged, and notes. When done you can upload a variety of places like facebook but the one I liked best was exported to google earth.

Looking for a personal VPN app
 
Can anyone recommend a personal VPN app? I'd like one that automatically connects when I get online with my phone, if that feature exists. I have a Samsung phone if that makes any difference.

I have Witopia on my laptop but have to connect manually when I'm out of the office.

I just got an Android (2.3) phone, my first after being on Windows Mobile for many years.

I'm wonding if anybody can recommend a "profile switcher" similar to what I had for my old phone. I want to be able to set different profiles which control all settings on the phone: turn different radios (phone, bluetooth,wifi) on/off, establish connections, change alerts (volume, repeats, vibration, etc). And to setup automatic switching based on time, wifi location, etc.

I noticed quite a few on the android marketplace but I would love to get some recommendations.

Thanks.

The GPS chip inside your Android phone makes it an indispensable tool for your travels. Whether you walk, drive, or fly, there’s a great app for your phone that can help you get around faster.

I'll 2nd the vote for Tasker. Very handy and so many scripts are already on line. I've got it set up so my better half can ping my phone with a particular text message and it sends back my location on Google maps. Really handy especially when I'm driving.

That would be hilarious if it could be programmed to ping back coordinates to a random "adult entertainment venue" in the area.

All she has to do is subpoena the Foursquare records

Ha Ha! I wonder if anyone Foursquare's massage parlors or adult theaters? Let alone their mistresses home...

What happens if you are bumped off as the mayor of your mistresses house? Hilarity...

I have not seen a VPN that connects automatically on an android, but I would also like one. I typically use witopia, but I used Vyprvpn this past week in China since witopia was blocked. The Vyprvpn server in LA was faster than HK and AUS servers and I could stream netflix. PPTP only. Had to manually connect each time.

What Permissions Did I Grant?
 
Is there an Android app that lets you see the permissions that you've given to all the other apps? In other words, which apps did I install that wanted access to my contacts, or whatever?

Or, is there a way to review this, already built into the phone?
