EasyMoney

Today's roundup is sponsored by Handy Apps' EasyMoney. EasyMoney is a popular personal finance manager for Android, which has already been downloaded over 500,000 times. In short, it combines an expense tracker, a bill reminder, a checkbook register, and a budget planner.

The app can track your business, personal, or travel expenses, split transactions, provide interactive reports and graphs, alert you of upcoming and overdue bills, monitor monthly budget caps, categorize, record photos of bills and receipts, export data into Quicken (QIF) or CSV, and much more. For security conscious, EasyMoney offers a pin lock option, and for those looking for convenience - a home screen widget.

EasyMoney was included in LifeHacker Magazine's list of the top 5 best mobile personal finance tools in January 2011. The recent publication - Amazing Android Apps for Dummies - also included EasyMoney as a featured personal finance application.

2Do: Todo List | Task List

2Do is a very powerful and feature-rich TODO list manager of iOS and Ovi fame - in fact, it even claims to be able to do full-blown project management. It is a bit pricy - $7, which is quite high relative to other Android apps. No trial is available either. However, looking at its history and high rating in the Appstore, I'm willing to bet it's very-very good. You be the judge.

From a simple checklist to full-blown project management, 2Do is an incredibly powerful, award winning, task manager that lets you focus on what's important. Zero complication. Zero frustration. Just a stunning to do list you can finally understand and use. With 2Do you get:

  • Sync tasks over-the-air on multiple devices running 2Do (including iOS) using Toodledo. Schedule auto-sync at fixed intervals. NOTE: Only stated sync options (i.e. Toodledo) are currently supported. More sync options will be added in the future.

PocketESN Free - ESN Checker

Android Police coverage: [Update: Free Version Now Available] New App: Quickly Get Info About The Status Of A Phone's ESN With PocketESN

Developed by none other than jcase, aka Justin Case.

PocketESN is a tool to check the status of a phone's electronic serial number. Find out if it is stolen/banned from a carrier before buying! Don't waste hundreds on a phone you can not use. On CDMA networks like Sprint, Verizon, and Boostmobile, only certain phones are allowed to be used. These phones are white listed by their electronic serial number (ESN). When a phone is reported lost or stolen, or when someone does not pay their bill, the ESN is blacklisted, and the phone can no longer be used with it's intended carrier. When this happens, the phone is often sold to unsuspecting buyers using Craigslist, eBay, etc. It is the dark side of the used phone business, and happens way too often.

This is the free version, while it can check all the same carriers, it only works for the phone it is installed on. Pro version shown in promotional video and pictures. Upgrade to the Pro version to get unlimited checks for any ESN, no ads, no annoyances, priority support, and barcode scanner access.

Triangle Away by Chainfire *root*

All you triangle haters, you know you can't go wrong with Chainfire.

Triangle Away can remove the yellow triangle from your boot screen as well as reset the flash counter, for a select few Samsung devices running Ice Cream Sandwich (Gingerbread builds are NOT supported). Please check the values the app displays are correct before resetting the counters. There really isn't much more to say about it. This app has been used successfully on:

- Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100

- Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777

- Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000

- Samsung Galaxy Note GT-I9220

Variants that are NOT based on Exynos processors but rather on Qualcomm or Nvidia processors are NOT expected to work. I honestly would NOT try (until further notice) - examples are the Skyrocket and AT&T Note. For discussion and technical details, see the XDA-Developers.com thread here. Note that this download is also available from that thread completely for free. You can go there and download it for free, or buy me a beer and download it from Market. It is 100% the exact same program.

WTF App(s) Of The Week

Shake To Charge Battery

The ultimate troll app. And in case you had any doubt, just look at my Reddit thread as well as this one for extra lulz.

Shake your phone and charge your battery. Use your motion power (kinetic energy) to charge your battery and never need a battery saver. Check the battery indicator (battery monitor) and see that when you shake the phone (or you move) your battery is being charged slowly. No need for a battery widget anymore to check your battery. Unlike solar charger or eco charger, it doesn't damage your phone and battery. You can even uninstall juicedefender ;)

NOTE: IT REQUIRES AT LEAST 1 MINUTE TO SHAKE YOUR PHONE STRONGLY TO SEE THE BATTERY LEVEL GOING UP. BECAUSE THE ELECTRICITY PRODUCED BY SHAKING THE PHONE IS LOW.

More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy
