People, I think the point of this was to post "Non- Play Store" apps, as in ones only found on forums on XDA.

I think that the name and target of the thread is not clear enough.
It mentioned specifically "aren't too popular". So... wtf is 'What's up' doing with that?! And most of the rest.
Please only put apps that you found, use and not seen in the first pages on the forum. Do not make this a list with your apps... please!

The OP listed tasker as an app. Its on the play store. People can post whatever cool apps they use. If you don't like it, start your own thread.

This. And I mean seriously, how long until these apps hit market? It's the most available platform. A cool app is a cool app on xda or store
But we already have tons of "what's your favorite app" threads. It would be interesting to discover new sous that aren't already on the okay store. But it's whatever. Do as you please everyone.

New rule you have to put a short description for each app you mention
Aptoide uploader is really nifty. You make yout own private app store for your friends. I liked it over a competitor appsfire.

Nice j dee! I hate it when my youtube shuts off in the gym. Can't leave the screen on and put it back in my pocket
Come on peeps keep em coming. I like the list so far. It's small and precise not large and burgeoning. Let's go over something very relevant: STREAMING from your HD
Jbeans 4.2 Camera- Full Screen Camera (compared to 4.1.2) and gallery you could flash for your 4.1.2 phone
Mediahouse Player- An organized app that collects all the shared music videos off of shared directories on your computer use in conjunction with. Allows you to favorite directories/devices. Really neat app
mx player- easy ui can easily disable/enable hardware software encoding for audio and video during play
v player- like mxplayer, could be better with UI, but unlike MX player allows you to set buffer to a whopping 8mb...so longer initial load for video but plays back perfectly otherwise
ES file explorer- save network drives
I usually make the default player for ES v player and for media house mx player. Good setup. Mx Player allows you to manage defaults for video players in-app too. Another neat feature. Well worth the money for that app.
From the computer end there are a lot of options to stream (I made a post about this a while back...search on me) but I like PS3 Media server 1.70.1 for my PS3. It allows for real-time transcoding for devices where your video format (ie mkv) isn't available. I also install TVersity server on my computer end and both servers as well as the raw files allow me to wirelessly stream every tv show except for planet earth which has a ridiculous bitrate.
Only other thing to worry about on the computer end is to make sure your sharing settings etc are set up as openly as possible. I have a homegroup password and everyone in it is allowed to at least read my directories
Hey zetsui,
sure, I love my HOX and GNEX phones (by now even more than my PC) and why not participate in sharing cool underdog apps?
Is that Mediahouse player the one you can download from the Play Store? Sounds pretty usable to me

Mi sound recorder
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28295194
Way better than stock audio recorder. Can record as mp3 at 128kbit/s, good enough for me. Of course, you can increase it. Can record as ogg too.
Solid explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer
Might be popular, but worth a mention anyway. Fast, free, full of useful features, no ads... Did I mention the slick ui?
Cpu adjuster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.cputweaks
Like setcpu, but free. You can have 3 profiles in the free version. Ought to be good enough for beginners.
Also worth checking out: servers ultimate.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate
These apps are in xda too, but play store linking is more convenient.
Advanced Touchpad Remote Control

Turns the phone's screen into a multitouch touchpad.
Perfect for Laptops with short HDMI cables.
Hey guys, I wanted to see who all here has picked up a chrome cast and what your thoughts are on it so far?
I really dig it, quick connection and ability to play things with no noticeable degradation or lag. And with HBO Go and Hulu Plus both coming soon it is going to be really nice.
One issue though that I have found is that the previous version of Google Play Movies allowed you to play locally stored videos on your device through the app. With the update to work with Chromecast this option is removed even when trying to do it on your device only so you have to use an external app such as the gallery or MX player etc.
Any word or people working on creating a cracked version of google movies or a work around to allow other apps to chromecast?
Read somewhere that clockworkmod and someone else have done it or are really close. Check Chromecast development

This may be irrelevant now, and if so I apologize for the waste of time, but I have found that if you open the video files in a Chrome tab, they can be cast that way. At times it can be a little inconvenient, but I think the video/audio is pretty good.
I've been using samsung touchwiz for a while and quite like some of the functionality. I find myself switching between TW and stock android, simply because of the functions Samsung have on offer. I've now installed 4.4 on my S4 and am missing the allshare/DLNA functions from the TW gallery app.
Now I know i can't get the stock TW gallery on my phone but is there another gallery app which has the ability to stream images to a DLNA TV?
I've tried various gallery apps, they have no such functionality. I have also tried apps like twonky and imediashare. The issue with these apps is that they are mainly DLNA server apps. I need to choose media then destination then start the server.
The way it works in TW gallery is I can browse through my photos, click on one, then click the allshare button and click the TV I wish to broadcast too. Then it does it instantly. No configuring. Is there any such app?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
EDIT: So sorry I posted this thread here. I didn't realise it needed to go into the Q&A section, can someone move it please?
Not finding much launchers for my ugoos um2.
Anyone have any solutions?
Also has anyone had any luck with getting YouTube lean back working so that I can queue videos with my android device to the TV stick.
Utorrent would be nice if I could queue files from my android mobile to the TV stick also. Anyone got this working?
Thanks

launchers...
Can you please describe this problem further? When I search for home screens or launchers in google play store, I get 2 or 3 that seem good for display on televisions such as this one "TVLauncher". Is this what you are talking about?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awe.dev.pro.tv&hl=en
YouTube leanback... Utorrent...
I'm not sure if apps in one android device can control another android device the way you want... Maybe if the control device runs the app, while the other device to be controlled runs a browser in 'desktop' mode (not Chrome) and browses to an appropriate web address such as youtube.com/leanback or remote.utorrent.com but this seems awkward. So basically I recommend to try a remote control app that is designed for android-to-android control, such as "Tablet Remote".
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote&hl=en
Whatever happens, I recommend to opt-in for HTML5 player in youtube.com/html5 so as to minimize use of Flash player. Otherwise, install Flash player app on all android devices that will play youtube and other online videos.
Cheers.

Hey All
I recently subscribed to google music (all access) where you have access to all music and can cache it to device,to play offline! initially brilliant..
but i could never get it to play wireless through my tv/sound system. (i tried many chromecast type apps)
i insatalled "bubbleupnp" via playstore, it also has its own module in xposed which i downloaded.....now all music on device including "google all access" will stream through my soundsystem connected to my network.without the need of a chromcastt dongle
just thought i would share it with y'all
Cheers:good:
Is this really a HTC One Mini-specific tip? Also; Chromecast.

In a way it is, seeing as our phones have limited storage and Google Music allows us to stream all our music from Google's servers. Great space saver!

@oskimon. no its not really HTC One Mini specific but neither is some of the other threads within the "theme and apps" section, i just thought
i would share my findings with the rest of the one mini community, afterall XDA is built on information shared between users within the community.
1. I do not have a "google chromecast dongle" nor do i want buy one.
2.I'm fully aware of other "chromecast" type apps but i found "bubbleupnp" in particular to be the one that best suited my needs at the time of OP.
3.Some of these "other" apps failed to play or even recognise my google music,which Im lead to believe this is down to the way that Google caches music on a device.
so... thanks for your input.
@RuffBuster thanks for your support
Hi!
I am wondering what you excatly meant by "my soundsystem". Maybe a Raspberry Pi? It must be a device that can handle UPnP right?
thanks
