Noob with a New Note! Please Recommend 100% FREE Apps & Themes! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps

Finally I have bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note!
Never paid so much money for a device before and at first touch I love it!
As I saw the video when I registered here I realized that I really was a Noob with a New Note!
And yes certainly I want to make the best of it.
As a writer, the capability to quickly jot down is something invaluable and that is exactly what the NOTE does! Awesome!
Frankly, after buying the device I do not have the money to buy any apps for some time and hence this thread to request you to share your experience with absolutely FREE apps and themes. Preferably, ones which do not have ads as well.
Could you please recommend FREE Apps & Themes which you have enjoyed?
For starters, I have figured that one needs a good launcher app.
Could you suggest one?
Having been to the Android Market I have downloaded and installed two apps which I liked a lot!
1. Opera Browser
2. Google Sky Map
Look forward to putting loads of apps and look forward to making loads of NOTEworthy friends too!

Than you are a newbie to android as well, otherwise,you may already have experience with what kind of apps you like/need.
Personaly, I just use the stock launcher, nothing too wrong with it.
I'd advice to install ClockWorkMod, to easily flash different roms as they are tweaked and optimized to give more speed and fluidness.

Here is a list of all the apps on my note. Not all of them are free, but check them out.

App Recommendations: What do you like on your phone? + Games too.

(added october 7th, 2011)
This thread is filling with some great app and also a bunch of game recommendations.
When / if / as I have the time to do so i'll start moving things back up to this first posting. I'll maybe get some here and there, or a chunk at one shot, or whatever.
Meantime, or as usual, browse through the thread and find hidden treasure in all the replies
(end added october 7th, 2011)
So what do you all like to run on your phone?
I'll kickstart it off with some things I use, tell me what you like so I can see what i'm missing!
-File Expert - Free - Geek Software Technology Inc.
-Dual File Manager XT - Free - Medieval Software
-Root Explorer - Paid - Speed Software
File expert I keep for the FTP/web server capabilities. I use it or Root explorer back and forth. I like Root explorer better, I couldn't edit the keylayout file with File Expert. Dual file manager makes it so easy to copy things around I keep using it - call me lazy on that one but it works well.
-Android Terminal Emulator - Free - Jack Palevich
-Absolute System (Root Tools) - Paid - canvs2321
Fantastic suite of tools for use after root.
-Android Music - Free - JRTStudio
I love it more then other music players, call me old fashioned but i'm just used to this one. Simple, easy, no extra BS to worry about.
-Mobo Player - Free - Mobo Team
Simple, easy to use, and supports .avi files amongst others. My favorite video player.
-Realcalc -Free/Paid - Quartic Software
Superior calculator. I use the donate version - the doubleshot stock calculator is garbage, I was not very happy with it. I'd already been using this one before getting the doubleshot, so swapped it right in.
-ezPDF Reader - Paid - Unidocs Inc.
-Scan to PDF - Paid - Nym Computing
-Open Signal Maps - Free - Staircase 3, Inc.
This one shows me all the cell towers I connect to, and maps them out for me. Other handy stuff in it, it works well and I use it all the time.
-XDA Premium - you should probably have this by now if you're reading this here.
What are you all playing with?
I'll add to this list:
SweetHome Image Upload - kinda like Google+ Instant Upload for pictures, except it uploads to my local PC instead of into the Google+ cloud, as soon as I connect to my home network.
Tasker - great app to automate almost anything
RemoteLauncher - Allows you to launch programs on your PC remotely from your phone, I use this in combination with Tasker to automate things, ie. when I'm connected to my home network, I trigger the Windows Start Menu, so that my monitor will wake up from sleep mode. This way, I don't have to move the mouse or start typing on my keyboard to get my monitor to wake up (yes, I know, I'm lazy).
XBMC Remote - if you aren't already using XBMC (www.xbmc.org) to play/browse your media, stop reading this, download it now, and thank me later! XBMC is the slickest media centre software I've seen, and the official remote app for Android is pretty nice too.
If you came to this thread from the bloat removal thread, then here are my suggestions: (some from my first post above, again, but with links this time. I'm tired of typing now and don't feel like editing it at the moment.)
1 - Stock Browser = Opera Mobile
2 - Stock Gallery App = Gallery3D - I really like the version of this app found in the Nook Color (encore) version of CM7 (latest stable release)
3 - Stock Notes App = ColorNote
4 - Stock Polaris Office = Documents to Go 3.0 + Paid Unlock ( expensive, I know, but worth it - I do a ton of office stuff for work on this phone, and this app is fantastic. You may want to keep the stock office app. )
5 - Stock Music Player = Android Music
6 - Stock Calculator = Realcalc - not even a question here. Donate is worth it to me, because I do a lot of conversions. Free version is awesome too.
I am pissed about the stock calculator app we get on this device. This is an expensive phone, practically the best piece of hardware money can buy, and our stock calculator doesn't even fit the numbers on the buttons right...really? WTF HTC - bad, bad form. (Alternatively, IF you replace it right, the stock app from the encore version of CM7 is pretty awesome - simple, elegant, fits the screen very nicely.)
Elixer is the only thing you'll need if you're missing any of the widgets you lost in dropping the sense launcher - really. Fantastic app.
and last but not least Digitally Imported is more up my alley as far as radio goes, especially when i'm sitting around on the computer. It's just continuous mellow background noise...but the radio thing is all a matter of personal taste anyways.
So what do the rest of you have to say as far as apps for this thing?
My eyes have been opened to Opera Mobile, now a must have on my phone.
I guess besides that, I don't really have any apps I absolutely need on my phone.
As for the calculator, Algeo is pretty awesome.
New list, see post #33
What about games? I'm on the bus a lot so it would be nice to have something that I can pass the time with.
Homerun Battle...best game ever!
Sweet. Anything else? All I have so far is Robo Defense and Pocket Soccer. I'm not used to having games on my phone hahaha
I just got this game called third blade today.. It's pretty awesome so far.

+1 for third blade
Third blade is pretty sweet. good call
Wow been missing out on Opera Mobile!
How does Opera Mobile compare to Dolphin HD?
Games?
If you like tower defense...
In the pre-selected path way of playing:
Sentinel 3 just came out on Android. The sentinel 1 & 2 games on my iPod Touch were simply amazing, and were the one thing I missed the most when it broke.
Now that the game dev. ported it to Android, and brought a whole new version, there's really no other tower defense game that can top it. Our device really makes it shine, because of the TV out. If you play this game through your device on a TV, you will be blown away.
I've been playing it for a few days now, and it's freakin' amazing. Everything I missed and so much more.
Also, GRave Defense HD is a great tower defense game. It was the best one of this type on the market until Sentinel was ported. ( In my opinion...)
In the open-field type of play:
Robo Defense as mentioned above is pretty good, and Fieldrunners HD isn't bad either.
Still think Sentinel is the cream of the crop, though.
For games, generally:
Samurai 2 is absolutely fantastic, and has been updated to work with the sensation, which is basically our phone. Great game, plays well on the phone, looks and plays like a console game when hooked up to the TV off the phone.
I've had people call me a liar to my face that the game was playing on the TV through my phone, even though they were watching me do it - it's that good.
Guerrilla Bob is a pretty fun game, and a good one to waste time on. It's well made and good fun, also on a half off sale right now so probably a good time to pick it up.
The two games by Mika Mobile are good too:
Zombieville USA is a side-scroller where you just shoot up a whole bunch of zombies. If you liked Guerrilla Bob, then you'll like this one too.
Battleheart is a pretty nicely done RPG type game, take a look at it if this kind of game is fun for you.
Also, some old favorites:
Jet Car Stunts is an old favorite, i'm sure everyone knows what this is by now...if not click the link and come out of your cave! lol...
Minisquadronand Minisquadron Special Edition are two old favorites of mine as well. Side-scrolling plane combat, with lots of planes to unlock and play with.
That should be a couple to get you started with, there are some others I play that I haven't listed yet - fighting for time on-line right now with all the stuff I have to get done off-line. I'll post up more when I get a chance.
try Pocket Legends, pretty rad

Not sure, honestly never looked. If you can't find it it probably doesn't exist.
Edit: http://www.origin8.com/android/sentinel3/ Here's the developers website about the game, might help you in deciding if you want it or not.
I knew the developers previous games - part 1 and 2 were my hands-down favorite games way back when on my iPod touch. I really, really wanted this game ported to android, and as soon as I saw it I just purchased it. Didn't read any reviews, or anything - just click, buy, play.
Game play is awesome, the difficulty levels are scaled right, and you get to choose from a whole mess of weapons to play with, shipboard weapons that can be used from an orbiting spacecraft (that's the limit of your interaction with it)...and a commander 'mech that you can move to specific points in the battlefield to help your cause.
'Mech can be upgraded between levels as the game progresses, and it has both campaign and 'endless' modes for each map.
Weapons can be upgraded to a few different levels in each combat scenario, and as you unlock things progressing through the campaign mode you really get some firepower to play with.
Very visually appealing game, and i've been playing it in any spare few minutes I can whip out my phone and go at it. Haven't had any force closes, discovered any bugs, or anything. Very well done.
Oh, and if you hit the home key or just exit the game, it saves right where you were when you left the app. Next time you run the game you can pick up right where you left off - perfect. You can just quit the game and do something else with your phone immediately or put it away and not lose any progress.
Remember, though, that this is a pre-path type tower defense game. That means the waves of enemies can only travel over specific areas of the map. Something like Fieldrunners or RoboDefense is a different type of game, where the whole map is a potential path for the enemies.
If you like tower defense games, and thought GRave Defense was a decent game, you'll be blown away by how awesome this one is. Grave Defense is the same type of pre-path tower defense game, so it's a good one to look at to kind of get a feel for what Sentinel is like.
If you were gonna burn $2 in the android market somewhere, and you like tower defense games, this is a good place to do it. You may end up hating the game, and if so i'm sorry. Try the free version of GRave Defense, and if you can get into it, take it to a whole other level with Sentinel.
In case you couldn't tell, this is my favorite android game. Lots of re-play value...especially with the endless modes.
Now if I could only find a port of my second favorite game from apples store, Alive-4-Ever...
+1 on Sentinel3...thanks for the recommendation Blue6IX, I agree with you, this game is by far the best playing and looking tower defense game I've tried..
Robotek is a great game.
Root Explorer is a must have.
Go SMS Pro
Since this is media phone I definitely recommend PicSay. Fun, fun, fun!
Friendcaster is better than the HTC facebook app or the official facebook app. If you spend time on facebook you should look at it.

I second PicSay, i've had a lot of fun with that one.
Toonpaint is fun to play with too - but don't expect it to work on every, or even most, pictures. After you play with it for a little while you'll figure out what pictures will probably convert, and how to take pictures that will convert well.
Toonpaint takes a lot of playing with it to get the results to come out good, so don't get it unless you have a high level of patience.
It's fun though, and if you play with PicSay, Toonpaint goes hand-in-hand to turn life into a comic. Toonpaint to generate the comic frame, and PicSay to put the word/thought bubbles into place.
Pho.to Lab is another fun one to play with, i've had a lot of fun with it and it's about the same ease of use as PicSay.

Thanks a didnt add the games that are listed by google today, asume that people look there first, but will add them beside
superbbbbbbbbbbbbbb..........
They are doing too many games. I have enough of those now. Need more productivity Apps. Pocket Informant or something useful for real work, Lol.
Shouldn't have done Shazam. They already did SoundHound, which is superior, anyways...

Doesnt seem to get new apps today, stil waiting, will see, will look for other apps in the market.
They usually come out in five hours' time, because the launch is worldwide at the same time. Just wait a bit
SlideIT seems to be also 0.10eur. one of the best keyboards...
Good, slide it is one of 10 apps today so its added to apps for today.
But since my phone died suddently of empty battery, it shows apps for yesterday :S
will wait so i can edit in the other apps
Logged in from computer so apps are updated. Good games today like sims 3, asphalt 6 etc
I can suggest "pano" for panorama pictures. Works fine after quick test!

Any difference between SlideIT and TouchPal? Which is best?
Touch pal imo, todays apps seem average.
That SlideIT warning is disconcerting.
"The input method from SlideIT Keyboard application may collect all the text you type, including passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data. Continue?"
Does this happen from Samsung with any keyboard or what? I like how it says "may collect".

This is a standard warning whenever you install a keyboard.

I prefer Procapture over Pano. IT does a better job in stitching and can be used as a replacement for the camera application.
Would be better if Procapture's price being slashed.
SimCity™ Deluxe added
SimCity™ Deluxe moved to apps for today.
Apps are availible before promo screen so it seems that all apps are there now for 90% off just need to know wich ones
And even if you dont have a phone you can still create an account and buy them.

Your Google Play Store is blocked? Search/request your app here!

Poll over. Thank you everyone who voted on the pole. ​
DISCLAIMER:
By placing request for an app,you understand that you will be downloading files mirrored in a different place[cloud sites] than their original location for distribution[Google Play].Be aware that you download under your own responsibility.We do our very best to keep the thread clean from malware but if you were to discover any, please report it immediately to the OP[me], and/or a mod in XDA. No infringement of copyright or distribution rights is intended and files will not be mirrored or linked to anymore as soon as the OP is informed it is not appropriate to do so.
Keep in mind that ignorance of above warning may lead to closure of this thread, and if u dont want so, please act accordingly ..
If u are a developer of such app, which is posted here, and do not wish for this, then please mail me/a mod to have ur app removed
Rules:
- Needless to say, since the thread is a part of forum.xda-developers.com, every XDA rule is applicable here aswell, like no warez[paid app, if u want one, pay for it], no flaming, no abuse, no nudity stuff etc etc
XDA Rules
- If you ask for a paid app and someone give a link, the user will be reported. Will not be tolerated if anyone post warez in this thread;
- We only provide u with apk,we dont teach how to install apps that are incompatible/are not installing on ur device, or how to get those apps if u cant get it[keep in mind the topic of thread and dont forget its not Q&A forum.!]
- Until and unless specially mentioned, the apps provided here are to be installed normally, and if OBB is provided,create a OBB folder with same package name[the part after id= in Play Link] and paste the provided file there.
- If you are to ask for a reupload of apk, please do mention the reason.
- Do not send pm's asking for apk.If u want help, u can always mail me, but do not mail anyone helping with the thread asking for any app,as it may have a opposite effect.
- Do not ask for apps that require additional work, like liking a google+ page, registering somewhere else, or any other. If u do that ur request will go "unnoticed/will not be attended"
- If you break any rule you will be reported, keep that in mind.
This thread is for you who can't download certain app due to incompatibility with your device or region. You just have to make a request, according to the rules, and we'll provide the APK to you. You say what you need, we download it from Google Play and upload it!
However,do keep this in mind, we are not developers of the provided app, so we cant help you if the app didn't install or is giving errors on your phone ...
[size=+1]I feel that no matter how small, we are spending a part of our life here,helping you people, and the least u can do is click [size=+2]Thanks[/size] button for us... Dont u think so?[/size]

So you want to make a request for an application?[/size]
The first step is to go through XDA forums checking if the app is uploaded the dev himself here or not and then using the search inside the thread to search for the required app
If you do not find make your request in accordance with the following data (not necessarily needed, but it is the best way to receive your application as soon as possible):
1. The link of the application in Google Play website;
So, you are a new member on XDA.! We are fully aware of the fact that u cant post link because of limitation imposed(Just so u know, its to prevent spam from new users,and, i do recommend reading XDA rules first),but,u can post link in plain text, by either removing initial play.google.com or by adding spaces, this is to ensure that we provide u the apk u require, not a same looking/same name app ..
2. The version of the application.[This is not really required, but its better to post,so that we know that we get the latest version for u.!]
3.[Most Imp.]We all know that XDA is a large community with people from all over the world.So, u post a request, but please dont bump a request before 24 hrs, the reason being we all belong to diff time zones, and since we are not online at same time, it may happen that your request is not taken for sometime ..
For members-cum-contributors-cum-helpers[old and new both]
[size=+1]
Just a msg for everyone - refresh ur page before uploading the apk, someone may have already taken the request, it will save ur time, and avoid double upload of same thing .. Also,post a going up or uploading msg before uploading it, so we know that its in progress, u can edit it later(to avoid double posts) to post link ...[/size]
Some Rules while posting:
1)Most imp - search before posting app, it may happen that the app was already posted by the developer himself on XDA or by us a few pages back, and u r just wasting ur precious time and bandwidth to upload it again(not to mention the VPN config to get it ..)
2)Add name and version of app along with uploaded link.
3)Please fetch the apk from Google play only … People post request here so that they get the trusted apk from google play, and they too, can get it from some third untrusted site, but they prefer to post here, with a belief that they are getting original thing ..Also,we dont want malware in the thread ...
For New members
You do not need to use any specific site to upload.Create a account on any cloud storage service, like copy or dropbox or box or mega.My fav is mega,since it gives u free 50gb of space
Enjoy ur time here.!​
Remember, the links are linked to posts and not directly to download so that u can click "Thanks" button for the uploader. Spending 3 sec to click that button is the least we can do for a person spending 5-30min to upload it for us, not to mention the time and bandwidth!

That's one of the main problems with Dropbox. If a download surpasses too many downloads (which isn't a high number) then the links will stop working.
From now on I think it would probably be better to use the other sites like mediafire, dev host, etc.
