Best (and worst) apps for the TF700 Infinity
Because of the max. length of a single post I had to remove some links, so use search in the Playstore whenever a name without a link is given.
Hit [THANKS] if it helps.
I'm leaving the old list below, but I URGE YOU to consider using Free Software, without gapps and Playstore closed-source apps. Please have a look at http://freeyourandroid.org/ and https://f-droid.org/
Let's share our finds here. My rather messy list was edited by Chief Geek who, apart from having a cool nickname, made it look MUCH better, so remember to hit THANKS here (and, if you feel like it, below).
Utilities
• I/O scheduler: sio for .21 & .22 firmware (Requires Root), cfq (default) for .26 firmware <-- managed through ATP Tweak, see my other thread on rooting and tweaks for the Infinity
• CPU governor (stock kernel so far): interactive (default)
^^ both managed by ATP Tweak (version for the Prime) and No-Frills CPU Control or other similar app bundled; many prefer paid SetCPU for advanced settings and schedules
• ROM Toolbox (for rooted users) ROM Manager, App Manager, Root File Browser and more.
• CatLog Logcat Reader.
• SManager Make, edit or simply manage your .sh scripts (you can set it to run as root and/or at the boot time).
• Terminal Emulator
• Terminal IDE
• Volume+ Make your device sound LOUDER (you can register here to get the full version for free, but if it helps, support the developer). With a simple fix you can get it to work with PowerAmp too. And remember to change the audio device in the system audio settings to Volume+!
• Equalizer Advanced equalizer app and widget (you need to buy a key to save presets).
• Around Sound Make the sounds of a certain loudness in your surrounding pause your music or movie when needed.
• FxCamera A more advanced version of camera software than the stock one.
• WiFi Analyzer
• GPS Test
• SwitchMe (Requires Root) Adds multi-user capabilities to your device (although switching users = reboot, so remember to use fast switching in order to speed it up a bit; the free version doesn't support password protection).
• Power Switch The virtual SmartCover for any Android device.
• See this thread for soft "screen off" button, controlling your device by waving the hand and more.
Web Browsers
• Chrome A popular browser by Google, although no flash and no H/W acceleration on the Infinity. Be aware that setting some permissions in the browser lets Google collect all omnibox data.
• Opera Mobile Light, fast and secure, but not optimised for the Infinity (yet?).
• Firefox Beta It is buggy in regard to add-ons, but gives some really cool opportunities like ad-blocking.
• OverSkreen ($2.49) Is a must have for multi taskers. It allows you to place several browser windows on the screen at once, much like a window GUI; uses the stock browser AFAIK. Have a look at some other floating apps here.
• Dolphin Has had some serious privacy issues, so personally I won’t use it anymore.
• Boat Browser Another browser with privacy issues.
• Maxthon Mobile Browser A somewhat new and lesser know browser that is designed specifically for tablets and ideally for 10" screens.
Ad-Blocking
• AdAway (Requires Root) One of several proven ad blockers.
• AdFree (Requires Root) Another great ad blocker.
Security
Be aware of USB debugging security threats, like this one.
• Pocket (former Wallet) Store all your passwords encrypted in one place.
• KeePass For storing passwords securely. Try also its Windows client (download Pro ed.).
• B-Folders Secure Organizer Secure organiser with syncing capabilities.
• File Locker Encrypt files or directories and use some advanced features for free.
• BoxCryptor Encrypt your cloud data.
• Seal (Paid) With Seal you can protect any application with a password or a pattern easily, so nobody but you can open them.
• App Protector (7-day trial, then paid) ^ Another solution for app-locking.
• LBE Privacy Guard (officially unsupported, but .apk can be download from devs' website, there should be a translated non-lite version to be found as well)
• DroidWall Android firewall (use with caution).
• WiFi Protector (Free for XDA users) Protection from ARP spoofing.
• DroidSheep Guard -- || --
• Cerberus One of the popular theft-protection apps (unless you prefer ASUS Device Tracker, which may be a bad idea).
Anti-virus software, malware protection, anti-theft (sometimes bundled with firewall):
• BitDefender Mobile Security & Antivirus
• Lookout Security & Anti-Virus
• AVG Anti-Virus Free
• avast! Mobile Security
• TrustGo Antivirus & Mobile Security
(eBook|PDF|various) Readers
PDF:
• Perfect Viewer (a picture viewer) with its PDF Plugin is in fact almost perfect - the favourite of many (myself included) for reading purposes, but lacks the option to edit documents. It's (ad-)free by default (donation-ware), so if you like it, be sure to donate.
• RepliGo PDF Reader ($1.99) is a fast PDF reader with annotating features (very fast rendering and nice UI, but also seems to be giving me some random reboots).
• iAnnotate PDF Reader is another great PDF reader. Not as good as RepliGo, but free is good.
• ezPDF Reader Probably the most advanced pdf reader for Android, but sometimes painfully slow.
• Solo PDF Reader The simple (and fast) solution.
e-books:
Stock MyLibrary seems pretty cool after the update (but very slow in rendering pdfs, esp. those consisting of images)
• Aldiko Is the old stand by that many use. Popular and proven.
• Cool Reader
• Mantano Reader Lite (= free version)
• FBReader
varia:
• CamScannerHD and Handy Scanner. Trial versions of two document scanners. Take photos of whatever you wish and turn them into pdf documents. See what timrock has to say about it.
• ComicRack For reading your eComics.
Office Suites
• KingSoft Arguably the best (free) office suite for an Android tablet, works pretty well on the Infinity.
• OfficeSuite Pro ($14.99) Certainly not free, but probably the best office suite available for Android.
Calendars and Tasks
• Wizz widget (transparent)
• Touch Calendar Free
• Android Pro Widgets
• Evernote A powerful app for taking notes and managing tasks.
• Astrid Tasks Task Manager with Synchronisation to Google, nice features like repeating tasks, unfortunately there is only a small widget in the free edition, but apart of that it is brilliant. By inviting 3 people on a shared list, you can unlock the premium one.
• GTasks
• Todo List Widget
Media Players & Entertainment
If you experience problems with DTS (sound system) or codecs in general, see this post.
• BSPlayer Plays most formats and supports H/W decoding (even has its own H/W decoder, apart from the default one).
• DicePlayer
• MX Player
• VPlayer
• VLC Player
• WinAmp
• Poweramp
• TuneIn Radio A cool radio app that allows you to search for your favourite songs and stream the radio that's playing them.
• IMDb frontend Allows you to see what movies are out there these days. Looks really good on the Infinity.
• SoundHound Get to know what's that song heard on the radio or on the street that just rings a bell, but doesn't ring it enough for you to get to remember.
• TrackID Another similar app with a very funny comment in Playstore by one of the users saying it changed his life, as it helped him find a girlfriend and a job
File Managers
• Solid Explorer Beta II A somewhat new player, but is getting great feedback.
• Total Commander Old PC classic reborn.
• Astro File Manager
• Root Explorer
Remote Management
• AirDroid Lets you manage (and even push) files to your Infinity over WiFi and much, much more. Comes with an Android-like GUI for PC, but works only in horizontal mode.
• WiFi File Explorer
• TeamViewer
• uTorrent Remote
Also note that Splashtop Remote HD comes with your Infinity for free by default and can be found through MyCloud app (-> MyDesktop).
Cloud Storage
See also info on BoxCryptor in the "Security" section.
• Wuala Secure cloud storage with reliable encryption (remember not to lose your key or password).
• DropBox Probably the front leader in Android realm for mobile cloud storage, although there are some security concerns against it.
• Ubuntu One Files Another cross-platform client, originally for Ubuntu Linux distro.
• Google Drive New app, but no stranger to the cloud service world. Some having issues, which is expected for new apps.
• Asus Cloud Already on your device, but if you want to use with your other Android devices.
• Box
News & Information
• Tablified Market HD An app for even more apps! (tablet-specific, updated)
• Zinio Free app that allows you to access a mix of free and paid media.
• BBC News Reader My personal favourite.
• Pulse News Another news reader.
• Google Currents
• Reader HD (Paid) Reader compatiple RSS reader that follows the Android Design Guidelines. Has Dark and Light themes as well as magazine and list views. Finally articles can be mobilized with all popular services. This has replaced pulse, flipboard, and currents for me. (psych2l)
Keyboards
See my initial thoughts on keyboards on the bottom of this post.
In case of problems with diacritics when docked, be sure to use KLSwitcher for setting your locale.
You can also try External Keyboard Helper Pro for custom layouts.
• TouchPal Free but skins cost. A favorite KB. You may have to switch back to default KB when docking.
• SwiftKey Tablet ($3.99) This KB has a large following. It’s proven to be a wonderful tablet specific keyboard that permits to do standard layout or even “thumb” style with a gap in middle. Very customizable. There is a free trial available.
• Hacker's Keyboard is a popular one for anyone that finds themselves commonly fighting to type syntax.
• Lots Of Other Tablet Keyboards To Try!
Resource Management
• Tasker (Paid) Control everything you need in your tablet by automatic triggers, actions, tasks, etc.
• Elixir 2 - Widgets Includes a popular info bar widget.
• HD Widgets ($1.99) Nice weather and clock widget(s) and some others.
[you can have a look at my thread on battery life if it is your concern]
• Dual Battery Widget For those with the Keyboard Dock
• Battery Widget? Reborn! (BETA)
• Battery Monitor Widget This one isn't very pretty, but it shows %/h drain or charge in real time, which is very cool when you're monitoring your battery usage.
• JuiceDefender series (Free-$$) The JD series offers a lot of different products. Some free, some cost. JuiceDefender Ultimate costs, but offers a lot of crazy settings for really maxing your battery life.
• Tablet CPU Usage Monitor ($0.99) is designed to give good feedback from dual and quad core devices.
• System Tuner
• System Monitor
• PrintHand Mobile Print (Paid) Print from your device directly via WiFi or Bluetooth without a computer.
• Any Cut This application allows you to put shortcuts to the Home screen of your Android device. You can for example create a shortcut for the quick dialing of a certain number, sending an SMS, or even changing your hidden proxy settings. Unfortunately, looks really bad on the FHD screen.
Communications & Sharing
• Irssi Connectbot A modified version of the popular ConnectBot SSH client for Android optimised for the Transformer series.
• tTorrent Lite (comes with ridiculous restrictions) / tTorrent Pro (paid version / no restrictions)
• Friendcaster Alternative Facebook client (a little less privacy risk).
• CSipSimple VoIP Client with nice integration.
• mysms (Free) Remote SMS for Tablets.
• SyncSMS (Paid)
• Tablet Talk (Paid)
Backup
• Titanium Backup (uses gzip and HyperShell)
• MyBackup
There are "pro" paid versions of both ^^
Launchers & (G)UI
Reports on crashes with some launchers. These will likely disappear over time as they update to solve issues.
Some people, including myself, see lags while using the stock launcher and docked, so a custom launcher might help in this department.
• Apex No. 1 for many.
• Nova Launcher The fastest on the Infinity, but most crashes too so far.
• LauncherPro
• Go Launcher HD For Tablets/Pads
• CircleLauncher Light
Paid:
• SPB Shell 3D
• ADWLauncher EX
GUI add-ons / changes:
• Add some gesture functionality to your launcher / UI, e.g. through GMD GestureControl.
• Simple Text-Text Icon Creator
• Minimalistic Text
• The Icon Ultimate Themer's dream with free and paid access to many different icon styles. It's cheaper to get them from the app than his store, and you can get high-res tablet friendly versions of the icon by long pressing on each. I suggest checking out the metro and project glass icons, they look great. (psych2l)
• 1Tap Quick Bar "Fastest way to start your task" (try the Power Toggles alternatively)
Games
A separate thread discusses games for the Infinity in detail.
(BTW, it seems that the same game at the same time may be cheaper in Google Play than in TegraZone, so be sure to double-check)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Apps to avoid (causing bootloops etc.)
Beats Audio - see why
Wallpaper Wizardrii - see why
Transformer reboot to recovery - see why
NVFlash = softbrick
CMClient (stock) - see why you should probably
disable it (unless you desire constant surveillance)
LCD Density - see why
Remove some stock bloatware, too, if you don't need it.
Also, try avoiding NTFS on your external storage
in general if you intend to connect it to the Infinity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Some other interesting apps:
• Dictionary / encyclopedia app: ColorDict seems to be a reasonable choice (default in RepliGo).
• Both TubeMate and FREEdi YouTube Downloader let you download YouTube videos to your device.
• Lux For setting (auto)brightness. Some like it, I find it annoying and not fully compatible with brightness setting in notifications area. Alternatively, you may try Screen Filter, I haven't tried it, as I've done some brightness tweaks manually instead.
• Google Sky Map If you've always wanted to name the stars you're looking at just as they do in the movies, you can now have your try with a little help on Google's side.
•••••••••••••••••••••••
There's also App Market for Adults out there (and for adults only).
•••••••••••••••••••••••
Summary of our other discussions here:
I) Some of my (initial) thoughts on keyboards moved to another post.
II) Various browsers reported to be working faster with browser2ram, but makes them more prone to data loss (cache, history, open tabs).
III) MartyHulskemper's favourite apps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28746928&postcount=35
IV) KilerG's list of Android apps here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...oD4BUsPRs/edit
Hit [THANKS] if it helps.
Ermmmm keep it on balanced rather than performance lags less.
And is it just me or I just run into you every time ?

Let's share our finds here. My list of "best for X on the Infinity":
a) I/O scheduler (after rooting): sio
[b) CPU governor (default kernel so far): interactive (default)] <-- both managed by No-frills and ATP Tweak bundled
c) web browser: Dolphin Browser (I like Chrome, but it doesn't support H/W acceleration on TF700) [any reason why FireFox isn't available for the Infinity, btw??]
d) (fastest) PDF reader: RepliGo Reader (2nd place: iAnnotate PDF)
e) e-book reader: Cool Reader & Aldiko (stock MyLibrary is fine for epubs too)
f) Office Suite: Kingsoft Office (because it's free and very good) or OfficeSuite Pro (because it's even better / more intuitive)
g) notes: SuperNote "bundled" with TF700
h) ADBLOCK (after rooting): AdAway (!!!)
i) video player: BSPlayer FREE (2nd: VPlayer, 3rd: MX Player because of UI, but it doesn't play most of my big movie files well enough) + MyNet for network multimedia of course
j) file manager: Total Commander (+ stock file manager sometimes); WiFi File Explorer for remote management within your WiFi network
k) cloud storage: I'm used to Dropbox, although I intend to try box.net & ASUS cloud storage; not much luck with Google Drive though
l) press / news: Zinio & Press Reader seem fine; but I particularly like "BBC News" app
m) dictionary / encyclopedia app: not sure, I would like something well integrated into my Android, so far I've only tried ColorDict, as it was RepliGo's first choice I believe
n) keyboard: yet to try bunch of different keyboards next weekend [tried and liked the GO keyboard, but I didn't play well with the dock...]
o) battery management: GSam Battery Monitor (+ 2nd: Dual Battery Widget)
p) system management in general: not sure yet, I've "clicked through" System Tuner, System Monitor Lite and Tablet CPU Usage Monitor, they seem OK, but nothing special
q) calendar: the stock app + (stock?) Wizz calendar widget (transparent)
r) weather widget (& other widgets): HD Widgets [default Accuweather is OK, although it has some lame names for non-existing places]
s) music player: no preferences, I'm not using my tablet as mp3 player
t) torrents: tTorrent Pro (but because of the I/O issues I won't be using torrents too often on my Infinity)
+ games my win is Heroes Call THD, although be aware it tries to build its way through a clever micropayment system
+ other apps: Terminal Emulator (!)

Nice list! 8D
In answer to letter 'c'. I believe that FireFox doesn't officially support tablet layouts at this time. They state in the forums that you can try their nightly builds from their website in order to use it on tablets.
Also for letter 'j'. My favorite file explorer is Solid Explorer beta. Its pretty solid for a beta!

just tried this out and im liking it better than File Manager HD.
I made this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AbZulJNGANnLfaVcP7Nu1FIgAXlnblFukRoD4BUsPRs/edit a while ago. It's a TON of Android apps that I use on a consistent basis. Try out any of those, some might help you out.
It was made for phones, but those apps should be just fine on the Infinity.
We need a list of 1080p optimized games/apps. I would make one myself but I dont have the time to constantly update a list. Anyways I don't think any apps have been optimized for the infinitys resolution yet???

Nice list, almost identical to what I'm using.
I'm also using Moviebrowser UPNP for all my series and movies management. Makes it much more fun to watch a serie or movie on the couch while the misses watches some drama show.

Mynet for network media? I only find one app on the market and it's in some strange language.

Regarding Dolphin Browser: are you guys using the good old Dolphin HD or the new beta version for tablets? I used the HD on my old Galaxy S along with extensions for LastPass and Xmarks, kept all passwords and bookmarks in sync.
Chrome has so far failed to impress me. It's laggy, scrolling before a page is completely loaded is almost impossible and it tends to be a bit wonky on zooming some pages.

I have no idea, which is why I asked :laugh:
I would prefer a browser that lets me choose to get the desktop version of sites though. Reading mobile versions on a 1920x1200 display makes baby Jeebus cry.

im using Dolphin HD. I had Dolphin Tab beta installed, but after about a year, it never got an update, so i just removed it. I have chrome as well and ICS+, but i prefer Dolphin over all of them. If Chrome added gestures and better download management, i would consider switching. But until every site uses html5, i will stick with Dolphin.
Ok, so I've just installed this Dolphin for Android Tablets and it seems it's just HD with some tweaks / changed GUI. I think I like it better.

Einride, Dolphin does this, as well as other browsers, even the stock one (which is slow, but has a great slider! ;>)

You can change the Agent to constantly be desktop. You can set it to other devices too, like the iPad. I've used it to get into "iPad only" websites on my phone before lol.
About Firefox:
When I started the Tablet the Google Play Market installed Firefox automaticly for me, as I had it on my phone.
I was able to start it, but somehow the font was something alike "New Times Roman" and the Layout was a mess.
Hopefully Mozilla makes the app Tablet conform, because I like the way you can use Add-On's alike in the Desktop Version. (Add-Block usw.)
EDIT: I think the Stock Browser is pretty fast, as soon as you install browser2ram. Somehow the keyboard shortcuts didn't work on the Dolphin Browser for me, can anybody confirm this or tell my if it works?
ctrl+t - New Tab
ctrl+l - Highlight Navigation Bar
ctrl+tab Next Tab
ctrl+shift+tab Previous Tab

FireFox isn't supported on tablets currently. You have to use their nightly builds from their website.

It seems that whenever I do a search for apps that others find useful, Twitter and Facebook are all the rage.
Seriously, there are "Top Ten Apps" lists out there that will have two or three different Twitter apps listed on them. It drives me insane because I don't care about Twitter and I don't find it productive in the least (just a personal preference matter, no offense to you tweet-aholics out there).
I would like to know social networks and twitter aside, which apps do you find most useful or productive?
Advanced Task killer (name says all)
Astro (explorer that allows you to browse SD card and install apps)
aTrackDog (allows to check new app versions)
Call logs backup & restore/SMS Backup & restore/APN Backup & restore (names says all)
CoPilot Live (payed GPS)
Meridian (Media player with subtitle support)
Shazam (app that "listens" the song and identify it)
Uninstaller (app to uninstall apps)
Zedge (to search for nice wallpapers)
Doubletwist (media player with PC version that allows to sync libraries)
GPS test (to check for satellites in view)
AppBrain App Market and Fast web installer (market alternative that allows to install straight from the webpage)
Games:
Angry birds
Frozen bubble
Jewls
These are my must have every time i try a new rom.

Nice, there are a few on here I will have to check out. Thanks for not mentioning Twitter or Facebook apps!
My list includes:
- Maps BRUT (Turns maps / naviation into a full car GPS unit)
- Missed Reminders (Does what it says)
- MeContacts (nicer app for placing favourite 'instant dial' widget')
- Double Twist (Mentioned above)
- Pocket Auctions Ebay
- Slideit Soft Keyboard / Swype
- Time Clock Time Traking by Spotlight 6 (Used for tracking work time for clients)
- Dolphin Browser
- Shazam (Mentioned before)
- Robo Defense (Fun game)
- Executive Assistant. (Summary of sms's, emails, missed calls, etc as a widget)
- Flashlight (Name says it all)
- Weatherbug
- Springpad. (Online notes that sync with phone and vise versa)
- Starfield Active Wallpaper (coz I'm a geek ;-)
- The Weather Channel
Here's my current list - 113 market apps, not a single "social" one among them.
http://www.appbrain.com/user/nawoa
Note the absence of a task killer, since I wasn't dropped on my head as a child.
All those, plus the standard Cyanogenmod and Google Apps stuff and a couple that aren't available through the market, like Swype. Thank goodness for DT-A2SD!
Thank you. I bought my phone today & I'm downloading some apps from your link.
Glad to be of service! What kind of phone did you get?
More than anything else, make sure to install Juice Defender. It does simple, completely transparent background power management that should've been built into the OS from the beginning, imho.
Example, if your screen's off, what are the chances you need your power-hungry data connection going? Why not shut it off for 14 minutes out of every 15, and then keep it running until it's no longer being used? Instantly your battery life is greatly extended during times when your phone's in standby.
Or, how about doing the same thing, only keeping it off most of the time a certain application, like a video player, is in the foreground?
Makes sense, right?
No, I'm not affiliated with its developer

Sorry but are you jokeing you have loads of the same type of apps. Close the thred.
Sent from my Pulse Mini using Tapatalk
No I am not jokeing and I know I have some apps of the same kind and that is why I am asking the members which one they thing I should keep and which one I should remove.
Do the brave thing and delete everything. You'll soon realise what you need.
Seriously, I stopped reading the list when I saw, like, 5 news readers. Keep Pulse (or your favorite if it's not pulse), and delete the rest. Delete any news apps, and find the address to its RSS feed. Add those feeds to whatever reader you kept, and you've already eliminated at least 5 redundant apps.
Use the same strategy for everything else. You should be able to tell when two apps are doing the same thing. Just pick your favorite and delete the rest.
Edit: Are you kidding me? 5 or 6 file managers. I would stick with Root Explorer or SU and delete the rest.
I'm gonna leave it at that, because that is way too many apps. Good luck streamlining.
Looks like a list of downloaded warez, and you're just trying to figure out which ones to use.

AAAH! MY EYES THEY BURN! dude litterally. what are you tryin to do go app crazy? CM6.1 has it's own file manager that works great (once the full version comes out i'll be happy) as for all the double apps get rid of em. literally why so many apps. only keep the ones you will use not the ones that will sit and collect fragmentation (hahaha fragmentation kinda like dust is to objects).

I was thinking the same thing when I saw both Root Explorer and SU on the list, not to mention all the other duplicate-function paid apps.
@OP: You should listen to the dude who said to delete everything and start from scratch. And with no wares this time.

Guys here is the list of Applications I am using, please help me out bu cutting the list as much as possible by recommending replacements, one replacement for multiple apps, what apps are redundant (essentially two apps doing the same thing). Please help m out.

Do you have all of these apps installed and running on your phone?
Sounds like you would have some performance issues with these apps, narrow the list.
Do a Google search for the "app" name + "Android review". When I am looking to accomplish a certain task, I Google that on some review site. This will narrow your scope.
I have not, I repeat I have not downloaded these apps from waez or as a package but spent time on appbrain and install each and EVRY app I listed and tried them, th initial liost was 500+ apps, I have narrowed to 200 apps, I just wanted to know which ones people think are the ones worth keeping, the reason I have shortlisted these are because I like the functionality and Ui, however it could happen that some function is available in app x and also in appy but I don't know yet (not played enough), but people on the forum are able to point that out.
Most of the apps listed are highly rated and popular.
I have updated the list by cutting down on some apps.
i will give reason for each app, once i find some time.
That's defo a warez list lol.
You wouldn't have listed all the free version and paid versions if not.
No way you'd have paid for all those apps without trying them.
Made me lol in rl.
Use whichever you feel more comfy using.
Good luck
edit... quick Google search I just found your current list in a wares torrent. In the same order.... Lol

And for every app group (be it warez or not), there is not simply an app that beats them all. It all depends upon your interests and personal preferences, and no one but you can decide what is the app out of a group that fits you most. So please stop asking others to do a work you only can do yourself.

i fully agree with that!
HOARDER!!!!! Wahhh i need moar warez....oh noes i need moar appz naO!!!!!!!
Killkill kill this thread ban the op and take away his poor phone.

I have actually been felt very offended by the fact that members feel that I am using from torrent or warez. As proof here is the list on appbrain:
appbrain .com / user / mohitgarg / need-to-test-install
appbrain .com / user / mohitgarg / faved
And mr leetvtr, eff off, i could find the apps u use in a torrent too.
If I wanted to keep them and be a horder I would not have listed them, the whole purpose was to get input from people about what they feel about an app and if they would discourage the use of a particular app for some particular reason.
I actually did try all of them for less than 22 hours (paid) as I wanted to try and then get a refund, thus didn not have enough time to play with them, but these r the ones i liked in terms of first impression. I actually have tried many more (paid too) apps but did not like them and thus needed your help, what a friendly society, really!
Cut down to one newsreader. For social apps, I'd use Facebook, TweetCaster, GoChat, and Tapatalk.
This combination provides the best coverage of features with the smallest footprint on your phone.
I would also go with Winamp for music, and YXPlayer for movies, since they each offer the best quality and broadest compatibility of their respective media types. I'd also cut down to just Astro and Root Explorer for file managers. While Astro may seem redundant, it's been beneficial to me to have a "pedestrian" file manager, and I also find Astro's zip manager more reliable. Only keep the Google Apps you are actually going to use. I can almost guarantee Google Sky and Goggles will just end up collecting dust in your app tray. The majority of the apps you have listed are pretty specific in purpose. If you aren't using then, and aren't sure if you need them, back then up with AppMonster and uninstall them. You'll always have then to reinstall from your SD if you every want to try then again. That's about all the advice I've got.
Powered by Tapatalk™ for Android™!
Thanks for the constructive criticism, higly appreciated.

... oh oops! i went over 10 already, and i didn't even mention all (yes all of them) the browsers
those are just a few that i use on daily basis
Not including live wallpapers or apps that require rooting or that are preinstalled, ordered by a complex secret algorithm involving frequency of use, personal importance, the barometric pressure in my room at the time of install, and dummy variables derived from the precise time of most recent use and the balance of power in the United States House of Representatives:
1. BuzzBox News (BuzzBox, Inc.)
- I have pretty much abandoned other news readers, mobile or otherwise, for this app. I use it pretty much every time I use my phone. Good widgets, and the dark theme is easy on the eyes and my phone battery. The interface itself is stubbornly a bit rough around the edges, but there are too many good things about it not to forgive its minor flaws. Note: enable automatic full text download in the options. It's been in "beta" forever, but it works very well and there's really no reason not to.
2. PDX Transit Finder (Ryan Roemmich)
- Ignore this if you don't use TriMet (Portland, OR's public transit system). If you do, though, highly recommended. The UI is about as good as Windows 3.1, and looks about as fancy as DOS, and it really only does one thing: fetch arrival times, but this actually works to its advantage in a perverse way, because its rival app updates about as frequently as this one (read: pretty sure both are no longer in development), and since it includes a lot more features, it has a lot more inaccuracies. PDX Transit Finder: the best argument for mediocrity in the app store. If you live in Portland and ride on public transit.
3. Flash Player 10.1 (Adobe Systems)
- Not much explanation needed here. Adult Swim video on my phone? Yes, please.
4. Root Explorer (Speed Software)
- Yes, you can use it without root privileges, and it is wonderful. With root, it's even better. You need something like this, since the Nexus S doesn't really have an onboard file manager to speak of, and Root Explorer is one of the best.
5. WiFi OnOff (CurveFish)
- WiFi on, WiFi off. In a 1x1 widget. Much easier than going into the Settings, and a lot more compact than the control panel widget that comes with the phone. Great for when you want your phone to find WiFi networks on its own when you mean to use them, but not kill itself and make you want to kill yourself looking for them constantly when you're on the move.
6. ADWLauncher EX (AnderWeb)
- Yes, I do like it. A lot. No, I haven't tried LauncherPro. No, I won't try it just for the sake of comparison. Don't you have anything more important to do? Despite the fact that using Android automatically subjects you to the opinion of everyone who is aware that launcher options exist, choice is sweet. ADW was the first I tried off-stock, and I've never wanted to change. AnderWeb is also possibly the most responsive developer I've ever dealt with, so if you have an issue, let him know and he'll either fix it or tell you why he can't. That alone goes a long way to customer satisfaction.
7. SoundHound (SoundHound Inc.)
- Music recognition that works reliably in pretty much any setting. It's that song on the radio I hear once every two years and want to add to my collection, but I can't figure out what it is! Not anymore. I would make out with this app if I could.
8. Screen Filter (haxor industry)
- Sure it's not perfect. The whole display red-shifts and gets uneven, and sometimes it will decide to close itself for no apparent reason, but it's pretty darn well-crafted and reliable when you think about what it's actually doing. Finally, I can use my phone in a dark room and not feel like I'm forcing my eyes to stare at a 25-watt incandescent light bulb. Happiness.
9. doubleTwist (doubleTwist)
- This app is a royal pain in the ass, especially since I know what it's like to have an iPod. But even though it will not sync some files and fail to explain itself if it doesn't like your folder structure, or any of your tags start with something other than a letter or a number, or somebody looked at it wrong, it is still, sadly, the best all-in-one media solution I'm aware of. Music, video, and podcasts. Delicious. It's like... an orange-flavored Tootsie Roll Pop. Sure, the outside is kinda gross, but just think about the delicious filling and you'll figure out a way to tolerate it. Or just smash it open.
10. ColorNote Notepad (Notes)
- The UI could use a couple slight refinements, but it works very well for the basic app it is. The list feature is great for grocery shopping, too. Just one more opportunity to banish paper from your life.

Why not attach APK to OP. And, provide link to App website link whatever.
Also, you have a lot of keywords suchas 'Anoonymous' and 'Privacy', so is webRTC disabled? (As if not, then you should change your keywords as they are wrong.)
Also, add screenshots. Either in tab, or in OP or 2nd post

On the new update you can configure the maximum number of connections per download (it accelerates your download by requesting the file in segments), you can set up to 7 connections or up to 32 connections (with the pro iap) ~ please be cautious about using too high values in this new feature because some servers might not support or even blacklist your IP because of too many connections ~
The newest update contains a lot of improvements:
Many ad blocker improvements
Now you can add custom hosts to the ad blocker list
Horizontal scroll on tabs list was improved
Added option on extras to force zoom
Layout was improved to be more accessible with one hand
Neat browser! Great to see a native dark/black mode for us OLED users, bottom navbar is nice too.
great browser but there is one thing that is keeping me away from it. That is find in page.
Great browser man.... I love it. The night mode feature is a great way to ease the eyes. Could you add a feature similar to facebook messenger's chat heads and an option to view webpages in chat head view by default?

Great start, lightweight & fast, I was hoping the floating windows could be launched externally such as clicking a link in a different app, any plans to add this feature also with resizable windows?
If you could add these I would definitely upgrade.
Thanks

I wish the browser could be downloaded outside of Google Play.
it's really light and fast. i usually open emails and some ebook sites only, still comparatively, execution was fast and snappy.
looks damn great, I love it. let's see if how long can I stay using it before switching back to the old browser.
Testing since yesterday and really appreciate. Great potential. web pages loading and downloading are really fast. Few suggestions regarding my use :
-Permanent private session option
-Adding Qwant as search engine
-Be able to choose a start page (url for example)
-An exit button.
Good work dev, thank you.
