Does anyone know of a Hanja dictionary app? Something where you could scratch in some hanja on the screen and it recognizes it for you?

^ I'd also be interested in that.

Also... am I right in thinking there's no Korean train timetable app for Android? I don't mean the subway but regular trains, like "iKorail" for the iPhone.

The closest thing I could find was this...

You download and install the penpower apk and use navers dictionary site/app

A heads up for anyone who, like me, has been waiting for this app to drop - the official Korail app is now available on Android (and the iPhone). It's only in Korean but allows you to check train times and also book tickets. There's a QR Code link to download it on the Korail homepage at the moment (http://www.korail.com)

"Green Life Of Railway Yearning" should win the prize for most ridiculously named app ever. Quite useful though.

You're not implying there might be a more suitable name, surely?!

Sound manager is an incredibly useful app. It changes the sound states of your phone at certain times. I have mine set to be silent a few minutes before class starts, and have the volume go up at the end of the school day. I never need to remember to turn my ringer on/off!

Another nice bonus about it is that it allows for vibrate to happen even when silenced (although you can turn it off if you want).

appbrain + fast web installer allows you to use android's browser to go to appbrain's website and install any app from there...games and all


I've used this to install apps that are available in Korea, but can't get it to install anything unavailable. Google Earth, for example. I can search it in Appbrain (whereas it doesn't show up at all in the default Android Market), but Install doesn't activate (the Install icon spins for a second and then does nothing).

Any ideas?

Apparently some people are having luck with snappzmarket since applanet no longer works and the appbrain work-around seems to no longer work? Anyone tried snappz?

Also- for those who have rooted their phones: how have you found the experience? Any issues after rooting? I'm seriously considering it.

I really can't believe that apps like Google Earth are unavailable to me on a Google-based OS just because I live in Korea, whereas I can download and use it just fine on my Apple iPod.
