Killer Apps? What do you think is a must have app?

I'm just curious to see what everyone thinks are the must have apps for their EVO.
So what are some of your favorite apps? Any you use everyday without fail? (Dailer? )
Also talk about the app, what does it do that makes it so cool? Your experiences?

Launcher Pro, SwitchPro Widget, Handcent, Twidroyd, Audio Manager Pro, Titanium Backup, System Panel, Root Explorer. Just some to name a few.

Tasker App
The tasker app as seen on lifehacker.com. It's an app that allows you to run tasks on your phone automatically. For example, you can set it up so it turns the gps on and off anytime you run a gps based program. Or even set it to locations like, turns on the wifi when your at home. Check out the post on lifehacker. It'll explain it better.

Swype - keyboard
adw.launcher - to replace sense
Digital Clock Widget -because i dont use sense
ES Security Mgr - provides basic app level security
Evernote - sync notes
Hypotoad - because he is a demigod
handcent - not as needed on cm6
Glympse - prevents that 'are you almost here yet' phone call
Meebo - i exist on 7 instant messenger networks simulaneously
QuickDesk - a desktop full of shortcuts that you can pull up over running apps
RingsExtended - makes it easier to select any mp3 i choose
ShootMe - take screenshots
SmartShortcuts - consolidate icons by grouping them
VPNConnections - this does vpn connections
WYSE - do you need to VNC/RDC/VMWare
SwitchPro - control panel kinda thing
google voice - virutalize your phone number
appbrain - makes it easy to share favorite apps with folks

AudioManager Pro - Gives me full control over volume settings that is quickly accessible. Great for moments of unexpected media audio when I'm stealthily web browsing at work.
Advanced Task Manager - Less useful since Froyo, but great for seeing how much more memory I have now.
QuickDesk - Brilliant little app that lets you access up to twenty shortcuts or widgets without leaving whatever program you're using.
KeePassDroid - Very functional password manager with easy options to copy passwords or user names to the clipboard.
Handcent - SMS replacement, very powerful, makes it much easier to read conversations.
StopWatch - Streamlined timer with a countdown option. Time is displayed on the taskbar which makes it reallyreally easy to tell how much time is left on my breaks.

one of my favorite that i dont think many people know about is Tunee Music...check it out. I use it every day

[APP] Music Controls as APP -Remoter -Its in the Market!

As i wanted to control my music via LauncherPros Dock i created a few small apps to do it, Play/Pause, Next and Prev. Track, Shuffle and Repeat are actually working. At the moment it only works with the Stock Android Music Player, but further support for other music player apps will be included when it hits the market.
I have planned another app to show the actually playing track in a toast popup, but thats not ready at all.
As far as i know it should also work with widgetLockers custom sliders, in folders, with the more icons widget and so on, everywhere where an app is possible to be started.
I attached the apps, they are only signed for approx 90 days(from the 23rd on), cause its only a test package, there are no icons, but will be done when it is released to market...
Remoter is only a working title

I have now confirmed it to be working with Widget Locker, really works like a charm

Nice...................

working fine with ADW launcher, am using them like small icons on the home screen

What does "signed for 90 days" mean? This will stop working after 90 days or I won't be able to install, but if I installed it earlier I could use it?

Works great mate... thx for your hard work. cheers.

Works great!

Truly handy app. I look forward to future development. I only used 2 out of the 3 docks in LP, so this was exactly what I needed...

This sounds like a great idea. I run ADW on CM6.0.0 so I'm glad to see mention that it works on ADW (figured it would). I downloaded and will give this a try later on this evening if I remember lol. I have been using MortPlayer as my music player of choice and it's widget leaves much to be desired so this'll add some useful functionality for me.

Great app!!
Here are some icons I made very quickly.
Previous arrow, play, next, and a clear/transparent icon are included.

can i see a screenshot of it in action?
how do i install this? sorry..

can it control music streaming apps?
can this be adapted to control music steaming services, like pandora, slacker, and last.fm...I'd love to be able to have one single ui control whatever streaming app that is currently running

At first thank you all,
Signed for 90 days means you will just be able to install it for 90 days
Have just added icons yesterday, also done 2 apps for switching Shuffle and Repeat states.
I am actually working on multiple music player support, some feedback from the apps(like a popup, short vibrate), to pack them all in one APK and an app wich pops up all possible information about the song playing(Cover, Artist, Title, Album).
Suggestions are welcome!
Will release further updates to the market!

Your work are great man, here another SS.
maybe a shortcut for playlist are good too.

Samsung uses its own music player am i right? This will be a rather hard task to do, cause the player is closed source and doesnt necessarily have an interface like the stock player, but i promise, i'll look for it, but i can't promise anything. Havent seen any other widget that works with the Samsung or X10, a bad sign.
Actually I am working on 2 things for my apps:
-Packaging them all into one APK, there will be 2 packages in the market, the main pack will contain Play/Pause, Prev and Next track, the donation Pack will also contain Repeat, Shuffle and maybe some additional features.
-Popups for the Actual State of the Player e.g. Playing track, Paused, track skipped and so on
When this is all done support for other music players is sure to come, as far as the player allows me to do it.
Further suggestions are welcome!

I would just focus on writing to the 2.2 media intents and let everyone else catch up properly.

try to download any other rom with the same version you have of the rom, and extract the music apk and install on your rom, the motorola no have the original music player and a extracted the music apk from another rom and the magic are done.

Well I hope you can get it to work for the vibrant but if not its definitely our loss.

Must Have Apps and Games

Looked but couldn't find. What are the must have apps and games for you guys? Post in a similar fashion so we can all know what you're talking about. I'll go first.
APPS:
ES File Explorer - File explorer. It's decent, haven't had problems with it.
GTunes - Download music straight to your phone. Used to be on the marketplace, can't find it now. Google is your friend.
MixFM Cyprus - Streaming MixFM Cyprus. They have a few famous reseident DJs and their program sh*ts on any US station that I can find. Give it a try if you want, my friends are hooked.
Pandora - needs no explanation.
SoundHound - It's like Shazam but I like the interface more. Recognizes music tracks through the mic.
GAMES:
9MM HD - It's an action game with insane graphics and decent story. Reminds me of GTA, it's pricey but worth it if you're into this kind of stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azIYhb4XkpQ
GTA3 - They actually managed to get the full game working on Android, and it works like a charm on the Sensation. If I could have one game only, this would be it, no doubt.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtbUORusNvo
Modern Combat 3 - First person shooter, think Battlefield/COD. Really good graphics, decent story and controls. You won't believe it's running on a phone when you see the opening scene.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdF0EvDwH-Y
Real Racing 2 - If you are a fan of Forza or Gran Turismo, get this asap.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kl_9Y3e0m0

APPs:
-sorry bro, but have you ever tried "DI Radio"? that sh*ts on any streaming music APP. Wide variety of music, for free, you can listen all day.
-"n7player", cool music app...i used to use powerAMP but now i switched to this. it has a sweet looking widget that suits my layout just well. for who cares about bass boost, it's there, just like powerAMP.
-"Swiftkey X", made my typing experience hella easier.
-I like "BIG! caller ID", better than the standard caller ID screen.
-"NotifierPro Plus" gives a sweet windowsphone 7 like notifications for most of emails, messaging, social network apps, it slides down from the status bar, gentle and informative.
-"Color Note" is a must for me, has the nicest note widget i've tried.
-"Brilliant Quotes", nothing better for inspiration and knowledge. can be set as a widget, i personally use it on my lockscreen using widget lockscreen.
-"Boot Manager" to boot ROMs from my SD card, good way to try out new ROMs without the hassle of backing everything up, and probably want to go back to my previous ROM. works on the sensation
-"greader pro" everything i need to know, right there.
-i use "WeatherFlow" for my weather updates and information, looks nice and different.
-Best alternative launcher, "Apex launcher".
GAMES:
-"Canabalt HD", it has the rush that makes me keep on playing, super best with good quality headphones on.
-"cut the rope experiments", i just never get bored of this game.
-"iStunt2", it's so much fun, try it.
-"Riptide GP", i wish we could get the effects the version for the ONE X has, but still pretty good.
-waiting for "DarkMeadow"

Try Audio Manager instead of Pandora.

..

APPS:
2xclient for pc terminal connection (remote desktop) - it's very good and free!
antutu benchmark - for testing roms, sd card speed
battery monitor widget - great tool for battery monitoring, it's worth its price
es file explorer - best free file explorer (ftp, dropbox, lan supoort)
ezpdfreader - the best pdf reader!
gentle alarm - very good, gentle alarm
imdb
ivona TTS - natural voice, it's beta and free for now
my tracks
premote droid - remote control for your pc via bluetooth or wifi (need daemon on pc)
system tuner pro - complete tool for rooted device. it can do almost everyting! worth every penny
tapatalk - great forum app
GAMEZ:
steam birds - good gfx and music
spirit HD - innovative action game with beautiful graphics
osmos

Have you tried the game Cytus? It's a rhythm game and I think it's pretty fun. Nothing like the usual kind.

Games - Where's My Water, Temple Run

Hello did someone try machinarium ? It s a good games and it run with my sensation

Well I use gameboid, nesoid and n64oid. All run very smoothly, I'm quite impressed.
Also dead space, Skype, and rage reader for entertainment.
For system/dev stuff I like
Droid wall - firewall for your phone
Root explorer
System tuner
Root uninstaller pro - system app uninstaller.
Sdmaid - bit like system tuner but does sdcard as well.
And phone overheat- alarms when battery is reaching critical levels.

Complaining about too much updates ?
I care about what I publish and want it to be perfect.
Some things seem to be good at the start but need tweaking later to fit the needs of everyone.
beat supports 2800+ devices, is available in all countries, is free and you can switch off the ads (the switch is not hidden somewhere).
With 2000-3000 downloads a day new bugs, feedback and suggestions come up everyday and I want to make everyone happy.
So please think twice before you complain about too much updates, instead tell me what I should update next

Hi there,
Nice music player you've made there =] The UI is clean and easy to use, gestures are handy, action bar is handy, and nice floating music controls for multi-tasking.
I do get FC when I add a folder to shortcut and go to the main menu to scroll down. The FCs stop when I remove the shortcut so it doesn't FC until I scroll, long-pressing to remove shortcut is possible.
I also notice that if I have a folder with some loose files + folders with music in it, the adding to playlist feature only adds the loose files and not the folders, is there a setting to change that?
If I may, I have a request, since it is a folder player, is it possible to add "play folder (and subfolders)" without opening it or making it a playlist? Also, could you add screen rotation capability to use the player in landscape mode?
Thanks for your great work!

Force close when scrolling the navigation drawer is fixed in 1.24.
Let me think about for a while how I could add the subfolder-thing for playlists and playback in a proper way.
On my ToDo-list:
- landscape
- a proper tablet layout
- random playback from all songs
- subfolders
- a better floating icon

Newest apk attached to OP, I'll keep it up to date.

Hi!
Nice app, now, beat is my default player. EQ, and nice design.
On my SGS works perfectly, but I found a little bug.
In the status bar does not change the track names. All the time it indicates the title, which was played first.
Screenshots.

Really awesome music player! I have only one bug to report so far. For some odd reason, the album art of most all of my albums won't display. Screenshot below. Otherwise, great app!

Do you have image files in the folders ?
Currently i check & display the cover like this:
Check if folder.jpg is there. If not take biggest image file.

1.27:
- fixed: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification (forgot to handle the 'cover swipe song change')
1.26:
- fixed: rare force close 1
- fixed: rare force close 2
- fixed: next song not playing, when switched from 'on device' to 'cloud' and back to 'on device'
- fixed: song name in notification only updates when songs are switched from the notification

SWEET! will try once i get my phone fixed! (i loaded wrong script and im fixing a brick XD), but one feature i would like to see implemented (if there is an api for it that is), is google play music intergration (if possible, and allowed by google of course ), then this would meet my needs for everyday use =), as the features are really unique for a music player =), keep up the good work and ill watch your progress =)

If that's ever possible, I'll implement it for sure.

Nice work so far
I really like the UI design!
Here are some bugs I found so far on my Galaxy Note 3:
The title of the song currently playing is not being displayed in the notification, just the progressbar, time and the app icon
The folder view laggs like hell on my device (power saving off)
Oh and it just crashed xD
Usecase: install fresh app; press ok when asked to choose a root path; go up to the sd end external sd cards;choose external and a music folder;play a song; play another song from within the same folder; open the left swipe menu and press recently played(doesn't work sometimes, also the scrollbar max value is too big, causing the list to jump around when scrolling on my big screen) when you are in recently played, press back and you have an empty view; press back again (you are on your homescreen) launch the app again and it crashes.
Hope I could help you, if you need further details, just let me know =)

would you consider adding podcast support... the design of your app looks amazing!

Nice app so far. Please keep upgrading.

Very intuitive design, might I request support for copy.com on your cloud options? Oh, and I had a crash as well.

Do you can Include translucent statusbar for kitkat like quickpic app did? Please.

My mp3 files also embedded with lyric. Can you support this as well, please?
You app got a potential. Keep your good work!

VERY nice app!!!!
Looks awesome!!!
runs fine on my S4 (stock 4.2)
few suggestion:
1. sort order for folder/items
2. for streaming, a buffer choice.
Keep up the great work!!

I like the UI a lot. And floating control is pretty cool. Still not a replacement for poweramp but this can be my my google music replacement.
Thanks for the awesome app and hope you will bring even more features.

I haven't dropped acemusic support. The problem with it is, that there is no official public API for google play music streaming on unofficial apps. So the google play music streaming doesn't work properly. I am trying all the libraries i found on the internet, to do the job, but am not able to do so! Maybe I'll have to strip off Google Play Music. Will it be okay? Or no?

So the google play music streaming doesn't work properly. I am trying all the libraries i found on the internet, to do the job, but am not able to do so! Maybe I'll have to strip off Google Play Music. Will it be okay? Or no?
Yeah! I'll do the required

Yeah honestly I don't really care about the Google Play support myself, a couple of things would make ace music perfect for me.
Lock screen support and if you could somehow make the navigation for albums, songs, etc in the sliding fashion like this app and not the slide out left menu it would be perfect.
Or even integrate the now playing screen from ace music into this app as ace has the best now playing UI on any music player in my opinion

Sounds great, look forward to it. Any thoughts on the other stuff?

Yeah! you gave a good idea. I was trying to copy the material design player in IO. But maybe I should get back to acemusic one!

Yeah your navigation drawer is just fine, I think you should rip the now playing ui from acemusic as that trumps any other ui out there. I would gladly purchase lantern for that as acemusic was better than the google io player anyway

Initial impressions is good. Thanks.
But I can't see any album art and the songs list is blank while I can view the albums.
But i would still prefer acemusic over this.

issue
on pressing next in playback activity, the seekbar is not getting reset. It happens only if I pause the playback and press next, otherwise, it is okay. The seekbar is getting stuck at that point.
It was temporary, I couldn't recreate the issue afterwards

Cool app!

Nice little app! I like its overall features, but I have an issue that I hope you can address in the near future. Album art is handled very badly, there's no setting for keeping the aspect ratio or unzooming, etc. But the biggest problem is that it uses some kind of thumbnail system that downgrades the quality of the images. I always embed my files with high-quality pictures to avoid blurriness. ACE and Poweramp handle it beautifully, with no settings or issues, just displaying the actual images I embedded. The difference between them and lantern is palpable.

Only one feature I need and I'd be very grateful if you can implement a toggle for lockscreen album art

Does this app work with Pebble watch?

Hey! Superb app, I am using it now as my main music player, but the application doesn't download? or can't find? covers for my albums, only 3 artworks were found. Could you add a feature to manually set covers from gallery or help me somehow else with this problem? I found all my albums on last.fm, so I don't know what I am doing wrong.
