Some of you asked, so here it is : I just created a Paypal account at [email protected], and I'm accepting donations.
JP will remain free and ads free on the market for the time being, although I believe it is becoming a quality application. Donating will not give you anything more, but you will feel like you did a good action
Your donations will be converted to beer (depending on volume) and hosting for the site.
Hi all,
Please note I created a new FAQ page on the site, available here : http://code.google.com/p/justpictures/wiki/FAQ
Please refer to it when you have a question, and submit new questions via email.
cheers
Greg
These are the features of the app available on market.
and there are many more updates coming on the beta version.
To support the developer in improving the app and handset compatibilites, I will be releasing the beta versions as soon as I come across one. And I will relay the consolidated reports to the dev.
Feel free to test and post the bugs/issues you came across!
Post/Suggest if there is any new feature requests too. Thanks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you face any problem or bugs, it would be really helpful if you send me your log using this app
CatLog - Logcat Reader!

Change Log for the Current Latest Version(Latest than the market version, thus beta or RC):
21/01/2012
6.3d Beta
Hey everyone !
Here is 6.3 beta :
Bug fixes (many small things)
File size and pixel size displayed in exifs for local photos
Adds the ability to prefetch photos in background over Wifi :
Long press the account you want to get synced in background, or create a new one
Check the prefetch option, and the tracking option and save
JP prefetches thumbnails and Medium sized photos in Background, over Wifi (not over 3G), every 10min (for now, I'll make that configurable)
The sync won't run if JP is in the foreground (avoids slowing down JP) and it will get interrupted if you open JP.
I'll add some sort of progress bar in notifications when I have the time.
*And this one stops the sync if you switch from Wifi to 3G, this avoids killing your data plan...
Please comment
Greg
Note: While posting the bugs just mention your handset model and OS.
eg: Xperia 2.1

Will give it a try ... sounds like a cool app
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

It's awesome!

Giving it a try.
HtcEvo 4G

Wrote it up for the XDA Portal, should see it soon

Is there no option to delete a single picture while viewing it? I see the delete option while viewing the gallery, but not while viewing a single picture.
Otherwise, the crop for setting a contact picture via JP worked perfectly on my DX!

Im a long time user of this apps, will give it a go for this beta..

loving the app!

Thanks all.
A new version has been updated with backup support on google cloud for 2.2 devices/
anyone with 2.2 check this functionality?

Ah, finally a decent picture app. Keep on improving it, please. I can't stand the stock Gallery.
Could you make it so the thumbnails are centered when viewing the pics inside an album? Perhaps various grid options.
Also, I can't seem to find the google cloud support, are you referring to picassa?
Multi/Batch delete would be excellent too.
Thanks!

!
Thanks, great app!

Top notch app! funny cause I was mad after the stock gallery yesterday and today I get this!

Great app, I didn't install the apk from this post, but from the market just a few minutes ago. I must say I'm rather impressed with it, but here are a couple of issues/ideas:
1) When the user is allowed to select a single option from multiple items, and where the option is stored in persistent storage for future use (such as sorting), it would be a lot better to use radio buttons so that the user can see the currently selected option.
2) Some kind of threshold in the settings for moving between pictures in full screen viewing mode would be nice. It may be just me, but I often find that I don't flick hard enough to move onto the next picture and it just stays on the current one. But it could be just my fingers being lazy
3) When resizing pictures to their original size in full screen viewing mode, the resizing seems to be done on the smaller picture rather than on the original. This leads to an ugly looking resize with lots of aliasing and other nasty amplifications.
4) When you set a display name for a remote account with the first letter in lower case it gets capitalised. How about letting the user to decide on this by not capitalising automatically?
5) On the HTC Desire the camera folder is called '100MEDIA', how about detecting this as the camera folder and putting it above all the listed albums?
Hope the stuff above helps. I've been getting rather frustrated with Gallery 3D lately, so maybe this might be just the one to replace it...

Nice and fast. Good gallery alternative.

this is apps stutter a bit when scrolling, hope it fix in the next update, i'm like it.

Hi thanks for your feedback. I couldn't test the google cloud backup as I am running on eclair.
This is for froyo droids only. It must be under the settings I guess.

Thanks for your feedback, I will surely relay the info to the developer. Meanwhile you can test the apk posted from here. this is the latest beta, 5.4g
while market version is 5.3. You can just upgrade over that one.
As you are running froyo(my guess) you can test the google cloud backup functionality as well.

For this I guess you can change the Maximum Resolution to Original under
Settings->Display Settings->Maximum Resolution->Original;
please let me know if it works or not!

I just want to introduce you to my Podcast app available on the Google Play.
This is my 1st Android app and it's still incomplete but almost all of the basic features have been implemented.
If you watch or listen to French podcasts, you will find some of the best independant podcats embedded by default in the app.
If you do not, don't run away yet, because you can still use this app to manage all your podcasts.
Here are the main features:
• podcasts subscription
• podcasts search engine (thousands of podcasts available in different languages)
• OPML import file (iTunes, Google Reader, ...)
• new episodes notification
• automatic download
• streaming
• audio player with resume feature
• playlist support
• OPML export
• widget
• comments download feature
• episode & podcast sharing
• episode filters & search engine
• automatic episode deletion feature
• ...
Upcoming features:
• New UI optimized for tablets
• Podcast recommendation feature
• Download manager
• Internal video player
So feel free to test the app, and please, tell me what you think about it.
I know, some important features are missing, but they will soon be available

Headset controls now work on ICS and JB (since v1.8.8)

What do you do when you listen to your podcast? What do you want to do most of the times when you are going back to the app?
Every. Single. Podcast. Player. Does the same ****ing thing wrong.
Go figure it out.

Yip, bump that. Constructive helpful feedback will assist the dev to make this a better app, me thinks? Instead of cryptic comments...

Just released Podcast Addict v1.9.
Main new feature is the Playlist support.

A little bit more Holo design would be much more better. The glossy style of the bar on the top is not android like.
Also please disable the emulated menu button. The menu button must be in the Actionbar.

Now that I'm almost having every basic feature implemented I will rethink the whole UI for the v2.0

Fantastic Podcast app! I hadn't looked for a good podcast app in a while, and I first went through and read a few sites that listed the "top 10 android podcast apps". I downloaded the top 4-5 and played with them. Eventually I realized they each have something that annoyed me too much. Usually, they were either too simple in attempts to have a clean/simple UI, or they were so complicated that it made navigation not enjoyable. I tried one out that had 4 tabbed screens of settings...
Eventually I found this one. This is the only one that I kept. I love the simple and straight forward UI and fantastic feature set. Perfect balance and no bloat. All the core features are there. The settings are simple and just make sense. The app is mostly intuitive in terms of flow - I would add a button for the subscription (using a Nexus S and having to go to options to view it was not intuitive at first). Another change, as some people have mentioned on the play store, is putting a back button -- although personally, I didn't even notice until I read the reviewsI only noticed it because a bunch of people complained about it. If you can, on the widget, please add the current time position and the max (end) time position. At last, ask people about the primary language and after that use only that language (ex of this: if you select English, when you search, there's still french under the titles)
Good luck with this app - you have created something fantastic! If you make a donation version count me in!!

Thanks a lot for your comment!
I don't understand what the problem is with the back button. You can use Android back button to go back to the previous screen. You can also press the App icon in the ActionBar to go back to the main screen. If you understand what te problem is, please tell me.
I didn't add any progress bar on the widget to avoid draining the battery, I might add a 2nd widget with a progress bar, in a future release.
As for the french in the search engine, I didn't take the time to clean the podcasts translations in the database, but I will improve the search feature in the upcoming v2.0.

I think I understand it now. So the complaint (from what I am gathering from the comments) is that people don't know that hitting that icon takes you home. But that actually makes perfect sense. Some people call that "going back" by the way. Maybe replacing it with a button that says "home" would do it. Or having an "info" screen when you first install the app that tells you it's a "home" button for the app. I don't know -- honestly, this just doesn't seem annoying
That's interesting about the progress on the widget. I didn't realize they burn the battery so much.

I'm already thinking about adding some kind of tutorial or tips section in the app.
Widget refresh will not drain your battery, but because it will need to refresh the progress status every second, it will still add some CPU charge

Take a look, if you haven't already, at the Spotify app. You have the same clean design, and it's very similar (same player on the bottom that expands when selected). I think the only thing missing is making that top-left corner into something like what Spotify has done, which will present all the screen options (home, search, playlist, all, etc...)
Anyway, either way, good luck with this app. I really like it!

PlayList Sort
Is there a way to sort the playlist? Here is my scenario:
I have a segmented podcast that is downloaded daily... there are 15+ segments that come per day... Ideally, I would want it to automatically download the latest podcasts and automatically add it to the playlist... I would need it to play the next day's podcasts but in the proper order... basically, day 1, segment 1, then segment 2, 3, etc until day 2, segment 1, 2, 3, etc... currently, it has the days correct but the segments are reversed...
Thanks for your help... I really like your app and would love to continue using it...

For now you can only reorder your playlist by drag and dropping your episodes. You can enable autodownload & auto queueing. Your episodes will then be added in the right order, but you might have other podcasts' episodes in the middle. In that case you will need to reorder manually your playlist.

Subscription issue
First off, I really like your app -- it is by far my favorite of all the podcast apps I tried. I love the feature set, but I agree with previous comments that the UI could still use some work. I feel like it could be simplified -- currently there are a lot of different screens you can be on, and no easy way to switch between them or even to tell how the screen you're on relates to the other parts of the app. I'm using on a tablet, so a multi-pane view would be ideal for me (though obviously not for phone users).
OK, here's my issue: I'm trying to subscribe to two feeds from the same content producer. But every time I add the second feed, it replaces the first one -- and vice versa. The feeds are from the Skeptics' Guide To The Universe podcast -- they do their main show in one feed, and occasional mini-episodes in another feed. I would link to the xml files, but the forum won't let me. They're easy to find on the Skeptics' Guide website.
Is there some trick I can try to get both feeds to show up? Currently my subscriptions view shows one listing for "The Skeptics Guide", regardless of which feed I've just tried to add, and the episodes available correspond to the most recent feed added. I've also tried adding them both at the same time from the search page, but that didn't work either.
Thanks for any ideas or bug fixes you can provide, and for your continued work on the app! It's great!

Hi,
Sorry for the late answer I didn't saw the notification.
I'm working on a new UI for the v2.0.
Regarding your feed problem, for now there's a restriction when 2 feeds share the same Podcast name...
I'll try to remove this restriction ASAP

Great App - 2 questions
This podcast app is really well done. I'm used to the UI, it didn't take much, and I love the different choices available in the settings. I have two questions:
Headset control
I'm having an issue with my motorolla stereo bluetooth headset, where after a few times pressing pause to pause and resume, the internal player eventually does not accept commands from my bluetooth to pause. Pressing the buttons no longer works. Any suggestions? I do have the Headset Controls option checked.
Removal of 'marked read'
Although I've marked many of my podcasts as read (I have it download a news segment hourly but might not get to listen for a day and no longer need the old ones), they are not getting deleted. They're still in the app and the trash can is available. Do I not have one of the settings correct? I have the Automatic Deletion option checked.

Hi,
Right now there's no link between the downloaded file and the read status. So if you mark an episode read it will not delete the file.
You can delete it manually or you can delete every read episodes from the filter 'Downloaded episodes'. In the menu select the 'Delete read episodes' entry.
I will add a new pref to automatically delete an episode when it's mark read.
Regarding the issue with your BT headset is it a one time problem ? I don't have a BT headset to test it, but I'm using a 'wired' headset on a daily basis and the play/pause commands works great. I'll try to look into this problem but without some hardware to test I cant't promess anything

Notifications
First I would like to thank you for making such a great app. I tried a bunch of apps and this one was definitely the best. I have one piece of feedback about the notifications. It gives two boxes when podcasts update. One that says updates have been downloaded and another that says how many. I think the notification would be more useful if it showed one box with the app symbol then listed the podcasts downloaded. Thanks. David

[APP][2.1+] Silence -- a scheduler for changing your ringer and other settings!

--+ Silence +--
Hello! I'm posting to tell you all about an app that some friends and I have just released to the Google Play Store, called Silence!
Silence allows you to toggle your sound and system settings automatically over scheduled intervals.
With this app, never again will you have to worry about silencing your phone during that important meeting, or even missing calls and texts later in the day because you forgot to turn the volume back up. Simply put in your schedule, choose your toggles, and forget about it. Let us do all the work for you.
Features:
- Simple, intuitive Holo-themed interface
- Schedule events that occur once, or repeat on certain days of the week
- ...or, use your events from Google Calendar*!
- Change your ringer, notifications**, media, or alarm volumes over scheduled intervals
- Turn Wi-fi, Bluetooth, mobile data***, and airplane mode**** on and off
- Change your settings back automatically when the scheduled event ends
The permissions requested are required to be able to change the state of your phone automatically. The ad-supported, free version of Silence uses internet permissions only to display advertisements. We do not collect any data from you.
Feel free to contact us with any suggestions, concerns, or feedback! If one of the toggles isn't working for you, please send us an email with your phone model and Android version so we can fix it!
* Calendar support only in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and up. We are working on support for older devices!
** Notification volume and ringer volume are combined in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and up. If you are running a custom ROM which splits them back into separate volumes, check the appropriate option in the settings menu to set each volume separately.
*** Mobile data toggling is only supported on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and up. This toggle is in BETA so unfortunately does not support the "change back" option for now. If you find this toggle does not work on your device, please email us with your phone model and Android version so we can fix it!
*** Airplane mode is not supported in Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean r2) and up.
What's new
v2.0
- New look and feel
- Support for repeating events "until" a certain date
- In addition to ringer, you can now also toggle notification*, media, and alarm volumes
- Set specific volume levels for each sound toggle
- Integration with Google Calendar events*
- Added the ability to toggle mobile data* (beta)
* For certain Android versions only; see above description for details.
v1.0
- Initial Release
Things to look forward to:
- The ability to "whitelist" certain contacts, so that their calls always come through no matter what the phone is set to
- A homescreen widget which allows for quick activation of a preset profile
- An option for 24-hour format
- Other suggestions from our users!
** Unfortunately, we cannot support GPS toggling nor airplane mode on 4.2+. Access to these settings are restricted to system apps, even when rooted. **

Silence is all about being simple and easy-to-use, not to mention being totally convenient. We'd greatly appreciate it if you'd take a few minutes to check out the app. Please leave any feedback and/or suggestions for us! Thanks!

A rarely well-designed app
The other day, while browsing the newest offerings of the android market, I noticed Silence and decided to give it a shot. Rest-assured it was a worthy investment of my time. Tasker may have better functionality, but Silence has a sheek user experience that is difficult to find anywhere else. I recommend Silence as the next Utility app to add to your arsenal.

Beautiful app! Any chance of getting a whitelist to allow certain contacts to ring through when silenced, or possibly a ring-threshold (eg. If the same number calls x times in y minutes then ring regardless of settings)?

+1 for white / black lists and ability to change more options
F. E. Location based toggle Wifi, nfc based toggles

Can you implement the feature that calls are allowed while notification and other sounds are muted like ''quiet hours'' in cm10?
I think noone wants to miss an important call during the silent shedule.

€ Maybe some translations too, so this app would become more popular

Can you implement the feature that calls are allowed while notification and other sounds are muted like ''quiet hours'' in cm10?
I think noone wants to miss an important call during the silent shedule.

I agree I love the quiet hours feature in CM Roms I cant do without it which means currently I will only install a CM based rom

Suggested feature/option
This seems like a great utility, but it still requires a couple "switches" to truly live up to its name ... specifically:
Ability to toggle/adjust notification volume
Ability to toggle/adjust alarm volume
Additionally, it would be great if you could backup/restore settings to/from the SD card. This way, you could transfer settings between devices ... or through an OS flash.

why don't add a root-feature for 4.2 users? so airplane and wifi switches will work

Maybe beyond the scope of what you want to do - but would you be able to add a feature that could integrate with Google Calendar and silence when you have a 'busy' appt? That would be really nice for non-weekly meetings, etc. I use Tasker to do this now, but it would be nice to have an easier interface to work with. Just an idea - appreciate what you have done!

It would be great if you could grab the free / busy information from the native calendar app and set up a profile based on schedule.

your app are awesome, but xD there is any easy way (im not sure if gcalc API are friendly) to sync this with gcalc?, maybe adding label or some in each event to select repetitive events.
For example: In your pic you said "classes" to silence in this hours. I have all my events in gcal and would be good choose event in calendar and set his silence profile.
You understand me? (my english are slightly poor xd)
i try to make some similar app when i got time...

Great App , very useful

Busy Me does this. I used to use it last year but it hasn't been updated since. It would be really cool to incorporate it into Silence.

Beautiful app! Any chance of getting a whitelist to allow certain contacts to ring through when silenced, or possibly a ring-threshold (eg. If the same number calls x times in y minutes then ring regardless of settings)?

Another good one... this is, in fact, the way Google should have done it from the very beginning. I mean... they have EVERYTHING they need... doesn't it just "make sense"?

Great app so far! I'd recommend borrowing a feature or two from Silent Time though
1) When adding a new schedule, if the current time is between the scheduled times, the phone should go on silent. For example, I add a schedule that puts the phone on silent between 12pm and 2pm. It is currently 1pm, so it's past the start time. The app doesn't detect that the current time is between the scheduled times so it doesn't put the phone on silent. Seems like a bug to me.
2) Add a widget for instant silent for an hour
I do like that you can control more than just the ringer though (unlike Silent Time). I don't get signal at work so I like to put my phone on airplane mode to save battery, and enable the wifi if it was disabled. This will work perfectly for that! Thanks a bunch for your work.

Thank you all for your support and feedback!
We're looking into implementing the following for the next update:
Ability to adjust media, notification, and alarm volumes
Ability to choose a specific volume level instead of just "Normal"
Whitelists
Google Calendar integration
More toggles!
...so stay tuned!

Sounds really great... once you have all those features implemented, you app will be by far the best option in the Play Store. 5 stars.

this is a great app,
if only it was location based, like using network tower ID to identify im at home/work/college.

Wow! What a great first impression. Gonna give this a go for a few days to test but man it does look awesome so far. Fantastic job, can't wait to see where you take this app.

Still kinda beta, have a few more features to add, but always open to requests suggestions

BTW more important to me is "if you decided not to use it" why that would be... and what can be done to change that etc.....

I'm not going to do that. Instead I deleted EvolveSMS and keeping this one. It's a keeper app. :good:
Here is somethings that I have already discovered and some opinions about it. Haven't even checked everything yet and going to keep up testing it thoroughly.
Multilingual support is a must for this app to gain popularity. I use it in English, but can't even recommend this app to my sister right now, unless it's getting a Finnish support. I suggest using a Crowding to make it hapen.
While editing conversation threads there are buttons to select all and deselect all. When I first opened app, I had no clue what these buttons were and kept hitting those until figured what those were. Maybe needs some clearer buttons. Of course it could be just me.
Mark votings active/ended (maybe green/red small text under question mark or color coded question marks). I now tried to vote and got an error "No UDD". Maybe changing it to something like "Voting of this has ended".
Directly call to contact from inbox by holding name and from popup choosing "call to sender".
Option to keep topbar visible.
In settings those activation/disable buttons are nice, but I always think those as levelers and keep trying to slide those.
While sending an SMS it would be nice if there was a tickle box for delivery report. Sometimes it is needed, but I don't wanna go through settings first to enable it and after that to disable it.
While in a sending SMS screen there is a possibility to type names and it works nicely, but sometimes it would be better to have a button to open contacts and then tickle everyone who You would like to message to be send. Sending a birthday invitation to everyone on my contact list takes a lot of typing.
Sorting inbox threads by name could be good, if there is a lot of contacts.
Resending a SMS by holding a message and then choosing resend.
There You go. Hopefully there was somethings that helped you to make this even better app. Myself I'm going to keep this app as my daily use message app.

Totally, just at the moment even the video tutorials on filters and the like are out of date due to how much I'm changing advancing the dam thing every day , when I think the structure and layout is final, along with wording then yeah...will deal with translations
While editing conversation threads there are buttons to select all and deselect all. When I first opened app, I had no clue what these buttons were and kept hitting those until figured what those were. Maybe needs some clearer buttons. Of course it could be just me.
Well, there is an interesting thing that I'm thinking of adding that kinda makes me hold off on this....as in mobile design I'm not happy with use of UI bars... the FAB idea is a little better but not good enough for me .... so one thing on the list is a new way to "control/edit" visuals/data (that will be optional) ... for now though you have bottom bar and log press (on an item) while in selection mode
Mark votings active/ended (maybe green/red small text under question mark or color coded question marks). I now tried to vote and got an error "No UDD". Maybe changing it to something like "Voting of this has ended".
UDD is experimental at the moment, I'm tweaking how it calculates and yes need to sort some of the messages out, it probably means you have not got a high enough score to vote....though it should say that
Directly call to contact from inbox by holding name and from popup choosing "call to sender".
Long press on the threads icon and you can call or view contact etc ... if thats what you mean
Option to keep topbar visible.
The most important thing in my design and consideration is to allow total control (or as much as possible) so yeah, this can be done in "UI Config" you can turn immersive mode off, and even still toggle to hide top bar so yeah, total contol
In settings those activation/disable buttons are nice, but I always think those as levelers and keep trying to slide those.
Well the same drawable view is used for sliders too
While sending an SMS it would be nice if there was a tickle box for delivery report. Sometimes it is needed, but I don't wanna go through settings first to enable it and after that to disable it.
you mean something that asks, do you want a delivery report ? Could be an option if thats what you mean.. . though I would have to say that the default would be no dialog asking, you would have to opt it on, any time you want a feature ... try the feature request here on xda or on my bug database... cause then it's more like an official request (also means I dont forget)
While in a sending SMS screen there is a possibility to type names and it works nicely, but sometimes it would be better to have a button to open contacts and then tickle everyone who You would like to message to be send. Sending a birthday invitation to everyone on my contact list takes a lot of typing.
100% agree and have been meaning to do this for....well.....(looks at watch)..3-5 months, just other things keep popping up in the priority list
Sorting inbox threads by name could be good, if there is a lot of contacts.
Yeah I plan to have a very comprehensive search system, so you can do selective backups too... but this wont be this month
Resending a SMS by holding a message and then choosing resend.
It should already do this on "failed" messages, if not let me know!! Cause it would be a bug
There You go. Hopefully there was somethings that helped you to make this even better app. Myself I'm going to keep this app as my daily use message app.

Thanks for all this and your time, hope that answers a few things for ya

I was using this in Beta for some time. Looks more polished and bug free now. Would check it out again soon! Great work.

3. How do You get more scores?
4. Tried that but it looks like it has to be a short press. It's there then.
5. Couldn't find a option to do that or is this still under development?
7. Where is the bug database? No I mean a text that says Delivery report [X]. Like this: http://i.imgur.com/1y43F3r.jpg
10. I don't know about failed messages, but sometimes I need to resend same message to same person, so best would be just hold it and click resend.
I also send an request to join G+ beta channel.

3. Well, thats being developed, it's a metric that calculates use and engagement, also are you premium user etc... basically a score that gives a good indication of your usage... so being new ...not high currently give it a few days...
4. oops, yeah short press
7. sorry, on the play store listing or http://www.deanwray.co.uk/bugs/
10. oh really, you mean if it was sent but never received ? huh, never really though of that... ok, just altered that, in there in next beta release

Just joined to Beta app and registered to bugtracker. Also I posted details of your app to local android related finnish forums. Might get few more users. :victory:

well just put out a new release with changes... available now from repo or in a few hours from play... fixed sched and added option to resend, though oddly not tested it

Looks great. Scheduling options as well as pushbullet support are a deal breaker though. Add this and it will be right up there with Textra and EvolveSMS

what do you mean scheduling ? I think it has one of the most advanced shced systems there is, it's easy yet advanced conditional scheduling ? Or do you mean something else ?
RE : Pushbullet I did ask all current users of SM if they wanted this in a UDD within the app, they said either no or not bothered... if you would like it and have the influence you can vote in the UDD panel
hmmm UDD is User Driven Development btw

Request
Would appreciate anyone on T-Mobile U.S. testing the new send method in mms (need to be in advanced mode) and reporting back...thanks

I have many sms without country codes and the app automatically adds the current country code where I am now. But, not all sms end up having correct codes.
Is there a way not to add country codes automatically?
Also,
Messages received from service providers and others with a name not a number appear as ERROR.

Those must have Apps that make life more enjoyable on your device

I was curious what the killer, must install apps are for everyone. I am not talking about Facebook, Instagram, or system apps that allow for rooting or managing space, but the Apps that make your life on your device much more enjoyable.
I will share mine:
1- Go Launcher. I love this System. Highly customizable and easily usable.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2- 1 Tap Quick Bar. This adds a quick launch bar at the bottom of the pull-down menu. Available anywhere you are in Android. I keep stuff like my Camera, a Calculator, a shopping list app, etc there.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.onetap
3- Power Line. This simple app provides very light lines that indicate the various systems on your phone. I only use the power line, but there are a lot to choose from. Nice that it is always there, to see instantly what your levels are.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.inline
4- Link Bubble. A handy app that provides a quick way of opening links without leaving the app you are already in.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.linkbubble.license.playstore
5- Launch X. A great way of organizing app on your home screens. I use it in scrolling. Saves a lot of Home page space.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.yuvalsharon.android.launchx.free
Well that is it for now. These are the basic apps that I always use to make life more enjoyable and convenient in my various Android devices. How about you? What do you use and have to install?

Interesting.

I'm surprised to be saying this but Microsoft's Arrow launcher is a treat on the Note 5. Looks classy on the large screen and its focus on usage patterns works quite well for me.

Swiftkey is a MUST!
I came from Blackberry originally, and I got spoiled by the awesome word prediction and learning autocorrect. When I got my first Droid 2, I missed the smarter typing and I searched for a replacement. I bought SwiftKey when it was premium and never looked back. Through a Droid 3, RAZR HD, and now Note 5, it has learned how I type and saved me lots of embarrassment. And since I went premium back in the day, I get no ads. Ever.
If you're a family guy like me, Cozi Family Scheduler is also a must. With 2 teenagers, both spouses working, and all sorts of things to coordinate, Cozi makes it easy for all of us to stay on the same page without trying to flip through shared Google calendars. The widgets are useful on Note 5, but the typeface is very small on widgets.

In Australia currently the nova prime is only 20c I think it's best bargain app. Definitely worth it...been using it to replace touch wiz.

My brother uses and swears by Nova.
One of the reasons I prefer Android over iOS is the way that you can highly customize your phone/tablet to your desires.

Now I know this one also require the hardware...but I do recommend getting one.
I just got my gear vr...and it's really cool. My kids love them. There are a lot of free download too just like in playstore.

Tasker. I freaking love this app. It automates almost everything on my phone:
-Silences my ringer and notification volume when I set the phone face down.
-When I receive a text, my TTS engine says "Sir, you have received a message from %sender" and if the contact isn't stored in my contact list, it replaces the %sender variable with "an unknown person"
-When I leave the house, it turns off my wifi, turns my ringtone and notification volume up, and turns Bluetooth on, but if Bluetooth doesn't connect in 7 minutes, it turns back off again
-When I get to work, it sets my phone on silent and texts my wife one of 5 random messages letting her know I'm at work
-When I get back home, it turns wifi back on and connects, speaks "welcome home, sir" and turns my notification and ringtone volume down a bit
-In the morning when I dismiss my alarm, it speaks one of 3 random "good morning" messages, and then proceeds to read off the weather for the day, tells me how many appointments I have, what they are, and when.
-When I plug headphones in, it displays a popup menu of apps that I use with my headphones (Pandora, youtube, any of my emulators)
-Controls my GPS so that it's only on when I need it, like navigating with Google maps or taking location-tagged photos, and then turns it back off when I'm done
-Reboots my phone once a week to keep the OS fresh.
There is literally nothing you can't do with this app and its plugins. I recommend it for everyone. Super steep learning curve, but there are tons of tutorials on line. 10000% worth the $3 it costs.

easyHome by @Jawomo
With easyHome you don't have to press your homebutton anymore! Just touch it slightly like on screen navigation buttons!!
Experience your Galaxy in a completely new way!
No clicking noise, no hard pressing! Easy, intuitive yet awesome!
Extend the homebutton functionality if you like and lock your phone with a touch!

That was the idea lol. The nerd in me went and found the TTS engine that sounded the most like Iron Man's Jarvis, William from CereProc, and every time I program a speak action, I try and imagine how Jarvis would say it. I wanted my phone to be as much like a personal assistant as I could make it.
I also plan on creating a task so that, when I'm in the car and I receive a text, Jarvis will tell me that a text was received and ask if I want him to read it to me. If I reply "yes" he'll read the message then ask if I want to respond but if I reply "no" he'll ask if I want to be reminded of the text when I'm not driving. If I reply "yes" to responding, He'll listen for me to speak the message and then send it. If I reply "yes" to the reminder, when I get out of the car, he'll say "Sir, you still have # unread text message(s)"
I also want to do something similar with calls.
All you need is Tasker, AutoVoice and maybe AutoInput and AutoNotification.
