Any problem with Signal?
I agree with @millionsun93, ES sucks since it was sold by the original Devs. Try Solid Explorer or FX.
Why Bitdefender? You don't really need antivirus on Android, you just have to be careful and only install apps from the playstore or trustworthy places.

FX instead of ES for sure.
NetGuard for firewall and ad-blocking
If you're not rooted, MyBackup Pro. Unfortunately, it doesn't back up app settings, but it works reliably other than that (and unlike Helium, which doesn't work at all for many, and is unsupported)

No, any problem at all!
But I tryed it for a bit of time, and i can't see nothing that other most popular IM Services won't do, Telegram, for example is really much better in my opinion, the same end-to-end encriptyon and sincerely, just few people use Signal.....
So, IMHO, put it in a list of "Must Have Apps" is a bit ridiculous.
Bye!

For me, what Signal has that Telegram and others don't is the ability to manage both my sms and secure texts. So if I send a message to someone that does not have Signal installed, the app sends a plain sms. If I send a message to someone who also uses signal, it sends an encrypted message.
For me it's much easier than using Telegram, for example, where I have to convince the other person to install the app or else use two different texting apps.
If this scenario doesn't apply to you, than Telegram and others are just fine.
I also like the fact that it is open source.

afwall (firewall open source)
Solid Explorer
Wifi Shoot (Wifi Direct File Transfer).
QuickPic much better than Google Photos as it doesnt reduce quality.
VLC
Podcast Addict
Apex Launcher

Adaway
AFfirewall
duckduckgo widget - nice little browser
Fdroid - lots of free open source apps
Google authenticator - 2FA everywhere
Flipboard - mobile magizine
kontalk - open source private messaging client
opengur - imgur client
Root explorer
Titanium backup
Virus total - really good malware scanner

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
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.

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.
I have updated the list, need more suggestions.

Only been on Android for about three weeks, Im a bit behind, but quickly learnt that I cant do without
Titanium backup, like most others, its a must.
Opera mobile.. Operas the first thing I put on any pc, and the same on the phone. Would have said opera mini next but it seems to have fallen foul of the "Google has helpfully re-rendered this page for mobile viewing" annoyance
Dropbox, quickly discovered its much less hassle to transfer files from the pc this way then mess around mounting sd cards.
A2E, only discovered it when link2sd didnt work with Cyanogen. Great little app.
Apps as catagorised as "useful" can mean different things to different people
Browser - Opera Mobile. Fast and speedy. Opera Mini in bad signal areas works a treat also.
News Feeder - Taptu. Create streams of information from favourite sites and blogs and css streams. Group sites into streams based on catagory. Best way of seeing your favourite stuff on one screen
Images - Lightbox. So many features, it should really be a replacement for your stock camera app
Storage - Dropbox. I can share stuff via dropbox. I can keep it and have it ready to pick up when i want. Perfect for sharing work with clients and showing draft designs of work completed. Google Drive is recent and may pose threats to the Dropbox crown
Messaging - Handcent. Has it all. Simply put.
Twitter - Tweetdeck. Clean interface and does its job best of all that i have tried.

[APPS] What are your top 5 favorite cant live without apps

How is the community doing?
With so many apps available in the android market (google play) I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread with peoples top 5 cant live without favorite apps.
You can include any app with the exception of games there is a separate thread for that already, just make sure to note free or paid after the app name. Maybe we can bring apps to light that not many people dont know exist but are great!
Ill start my top 5 cant live without apps are:
1. Teamviever - free - productivity app that allows me to remotely connect to computers and help others diagnose issues
2. Work shifts free - free - app that keeps track of worked hours, pay days, etc
3. eBay - free - app that allows me to buy, sell on ebay
4. Dropbox - free - great for backing up files or just having extra storage
5. XDA premium - paid ($1.49) - keeps me connected to xda while mobile

TASKER
what it does best is definitely a good thing, since it can practically automate your entire phone given the right amount of power.
7.METAMORPH[FREE/PAID]
METAMORPH
Metamorph is a small app that allows you to theme any part of Android by applying simple patch files
8.BUSYBOX[FREE/PAID]

The root function for antitheft of avast (free) and cerberus (paid) i think are worth mentioning. They are wipe surviving antitheft apps that can remotely control several aspects of the phone through internet or sms.
Also, if on gingerbread, droidwall and pdroid are the paranoid's best friends (pdroid if successfully gone through the hassle of patching). Together give almost full control of permissions for apps, specially those with access to private data.
Edit: i think this list can be good, but maybe add a short description of what you use the apps for, and what advantages they might bring. Also, tasker and set cpu make juice defender irrelevant.
I don't see the point on having a anti virus, cause all the apk's are scanned my Google....and unless u use mms the chances of virus are low...and keeping those apps on drains alot of battery

APKs are not that safe.
Yes they are scanned by google but they are all not "safe"
The popular game Paper Toss was collecting peoples data.
Everyone should be aware that it may not be viruses but taking your information is to me considered not "safe"
You need to read the permissions before installing.
If you download a live wallpaper of the ocean waves it shouldn't have the phone permission to "read phone identity" or "access hardware controls".
I didnt just make this up. The comments of shady apps are flooded with people asking what the permission are needed for.
"PhonemyPc" is a pretty good app to remotely access and use your PC.

Free Apps
"Shush" is a good free app which once you put your phone on silent or vibrate you can set the time when you want it the normal sound settings to come back on, ideal for use at work or meetings.
"Anydo" is a great note app & is super stylish, which comes in black or white & ics blue, one of the best note apps on the market.
"Quickpic" a great gallery app which is a brilliant alternative to the stock gallery, also themed in black or white & a great layout.
"Zipsigner" is a apk signing app, you can modify your zip app files & then sign it using this app, then install & enjoy your Modded app, really easy to use too.
"Ringdroid" a ringtone maker app, use this to cut your own music tracks up & turn it in to your own custom ringtones or message alerts.
Loads more to mention really but this is a good start :0)

What are the first 5 things u install to your new Android device as soon as u receive new one or restore device?
I took almost a 3 year break from Android and now that I am back, most of the Apps I used to use are no longer updated.
I'm used to try lots of custom roms and some of my must install apps are:
Titanium Backup,
Greenify,
Metal (FB app, but less memory hungry),
FireTube (listen YouTube music with screen off),
OneDrive (got more space than Google Drive),
PlayerPro (for me best player),
QuickPic,
Root Explorer,
SuperBeam,
SwiftKey and
Xposed + GravityBox.
If ROM doesn't come with performance function I use System Tuner Pro.
On older systems I was installing SMS Backup & Restore (but no need any more...)
And than I install some "optional" apps (not allways):
Adblock,
MIX (powerfull pict edior but comes only for Samsung I believe),
Some of Runtastic apps,
SD Maid,
TeamViewer,
Weather & Clock Widget and
Xda app.
Good question but this it's the place for this discussion!

There's an app called "Free App of the Day"
you can give that a shot
You should also get Google Opinion Rewards.
You basically do surveys and get like 10-40 cents per survey, sometimes even more, which can be used to buy apps and other things on the play store.

This one tells you when an app is on sale:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...medium=appbrain_web&utm_campaign=appbrain_web
+1 for AppSales. I used to use Free App of the Day but after not seeing anything useful over the course of a couple of weeks, I quit looking at it.

Getting my s7 edge tomorrow, first new smartphone in 4 years. Just change phone because of broken battery, 4h with 30-45min of screen on time -. -
Google Now Launcher.
Once that's installed, all of my previous apps are restored automatically, even where I placed them on my home screen.
Really don't need anything else except for side-loaded apps, but not that many now that I don't have root on this phone.
