What apps can you not do without? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

What apps, installed from the Play Store, can you not do without? As in the new install (rom) doesn't quite feel right without them
For me, I install the following as soon as I install a new ROM:
- Chrome
- Chrome to phone
- Currents
- MightyText
- Pandora
- Picasa Mobile
- ROM Manager
- Root Explorer
- SwiftKey 3
- Unified Remote
- XDA
- Scrollable ContactWidget
I'm trying to get ideas of what other people use, mainly for added usability or just to get ideas for how else I can use the phone

I would love to see a red theme for this if and when you get a chance. I was all about the communion theme on Emancipation. I would like to see something like that here with this ROM. Thanks for all your hard work guys!

He's already got the xda icon themed for cypher. At least it is on my end. I think he made a flashable zip that added a few more icons to it. Its a few pages back in the actual cypherrom forum

Did you see the update? I got most of those...the weather channel didn't stick for some reason though.
What I've been finding is that the theme chooser has a hard time with apks that have a capital letter in their name. For example that app is called com.weather.Weather.apk it throws an error about the capital W. Gotta look into it further to see how to get around that.
X,
You realize everytime you post in q&a it bumps your thread above my q&a ??? :laugh: :laugh:
Only kidding - but for real - more beautiful work from you, your hard work really, really pays off in the finished product, congrats, man. Enjoy the outing with your beautiful family !! Regards.

Do we need to wipe anything before flashing the update?
Sent from my SGH-i997 using xda app-developers app
All flashed. Thanks. Looks great. I was thinking, you said weather channel wasn't accepting the theme because of the capital w right. If you are all using a custom launcher couldn't you release the icon for download and we save it in the gallery and use nova settings to select it. Its not perfect, but its a work around till you perfect your method.

If this rom had a stock JB theme (pretty vibrant blue and all) it'd be an absolute no-brainer for moi.

Not exactly a theme question, but when connecting the infuse to my computer the external SD card doesn't show up. Is there a solution to this?
My only comment it, damn, this looks great man.. I love the color..
Home run brother!
Jellybean CM 9 Theme by Team Syndicate on the Play Store skins this rom back to JB default. Most perfect JB rom I've used for this phone now, by a long shot.

Google chrome advanced settings

I was wondering how to change advanced settings in google chrome for android. I'm looking to set things like my homepage and where chrome downloads. I want to have chrome download to me external sd. I know you can change these things in the stock browser.

I use SMS Popup. I've tried GO SMS Pro, Handcent, and others. MMS does not work on them (at least not when I tried them). Pictures are always downloaded as movies or something and I have to "play" the file to view the image. It's weird. Maybe it's just me or it's been fixed....might give them another try.
