Touch Pro 2 & Kinoma Play - Very Slick

Hi,
I am currently loving my Touch Pro 2 and agree with most people on this forum that it is currently the top Windows Mobile at the moment. I have found TF3D to be highly responsive and fluid but felt a little limited by the lack of customization in terms of the number of program shortcuts it supports. I previously came from the Omnia with Winterface loaded which worked well interms of the amount of shortcuts you could enter. After doing a search on here I have seen that Winterface may cause a problem with TF3D so I didn't want to risk running it.
I recently downloaded an update for Kinoma Play which used to be my primary music player on the Omnia and I have found that it is ideal as both a music player and application launcher. It must have gone through a big facelift recently as I hardly recognized the interface. It works on the same pinciple as Winterface (Iphone rip off) although it's not meant to be a today screen replacement so it works as a nice addon for TF3D. After playing around with it you can have up to 9 home screens that scroll from left to right or up and down with 15 icons on each (135 shortcuts available) as well as a seperate favourites folder.
It has a nice slick interface that currently intergrates Music, an Orb streamer (which I stream all my music over wifi), Photo viewer, Video player (poor codec support), Facebook, Twitter, Last FM, RSS, Mobihand app store and too many others to mention. I thought I would post a Youtube video so you can see how it works on the Touch pro 2 in case anyone was in the same boat as me.

Any list of recommended apps?

As my HD is on the way, I would like to get some nice apps downloaded.
I do the following thing with my current ppc (xda mini):
mp3 player (auto off function, needed for sleeping with music)
Ebook reader (txt,html, chm, pdf...)
GPS (for driving and jogging)
some games
system tweak
Would someone suggest some apps for all these tasks?

Just use the search button and i guarantee that you'll find everything you need

I would like to make a list of all apps I use, which should be the apps most people need.
The advantage and disadvantage of PPC is that they are too many apps for the same task. and the quality, stability are different from one to another.
That's why I think it is necessary to make a list

the apps one uses is not what the most people need.what is useful for me might not be useful for you and so on.The list is a very personal thing, it depends on personal tastes and needs.
have you seen this sticky?

Also not all applications are free.Some prefer freeware with limited functions and some other people don't mind paying for better software.
for example Gps Cycle is a good free sport Gps software but you can't compare it to the RunGPS UV(not free).

Cool/Useful Apps to Help Pacify Waiting on Froyo

ALL APPS ARE IN MARKET
(VIDEOTONEZ-free)
Tired of traditional ringtones?
VIDEOTONEZ is a video ringtone app. How does it work? Someone calls and a music video clip pops up instead of the traditional ringtone that most of us are used to. Incase you're wondering, while the video/ringtone is playing you are able to view who's calling.
(LOOKOUT SECURITY-free)
This app helps protect any android running device from viruses, malware etc. How does it work? Everytime an app, music, video etc.is downloaded this app will scan to check for potential viruses, malware etc. This app can also give users the option to remotely wipe their device via internet.
(POWER AMP-trial)
This app is for users that use their phones as a music powerhouse. Power Amp is a music player that is more than a music player. It has both desktop and lock screen widgets for easy access to the player. Power Amp has a very powerful equalizer with pre amp. The UI is beautiful.
(ZEAM LAUNCHER-free)
Before I start, yes I'm aware of ADW and Launcher Pro! Unlike the two home launchers, ZEAM LAUNCHER has the least amount of settings but that doesn't mean that it can not/should not compete with the two. ZEAM LAUNCHER is very lightweight, not a memory hog and runs very smooth. I personally love ZEAM LAUNCHER'S UI out of the 2 I've mentioned. Try ZEAM LAUNCHER and be amazed!
(PICSAY PRO-not free)
Have you ever taken pictures with the myTouch Slide while using flash and noticed the evil red eye from hell? I have! PICSAY PRO will not prevent red eye, but it will fix the problem once red eye occurs. PICSAY PRO has many features, its like photoshop on a mobile phone. Ok, maybe not photoshop, but it has a lot of nice functions/options to edit photos.
(TUNE IN RADIO-free)
This app is one of my favorites because I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York, but I currently live in Maryland. I can now listen to NY radio stations without being in NY. How cool is that? If I lost or confused anyone this app is not limited to NY radio. Its global! THIS APP REQUIRES INTERNET/WIFI CONNECTION.
(SOUNDHOUND-free)
This app amazing. Have you ever heard a song on the radio, at the club, in a grocery store, at your grandmothers house, etc. and wanted to know who sings it/what's the name of the song? I know I have! SOUNDHOUND allows the user to find out those same questions. How does it work? Push the SOUNDHOUND button and put your phone near to a speaker
and SOUNDHOUND will locate the Artist name, song title, youtube video, lyrics and where the song/album can be purchased. THIS APP REQUIRES INTERNET/WIFI CONNECTION.

What Apps do you use on a daily Basis

Just curious since I Keep flashing Roms what is useful to install that most people use on a daily Basis.
All start it off with what I use often.
* Dolphin Browser
* Titanium Backup
* XDA app.
* Astro File Manager
* Quickoffice
* Shazam
* DiskUsage
* MX Player, Codecs
* Beautiful Widgets
* Google Maps, Streetview
* Google Search
* Google+
* My Account (from Rogers to track Usage Data texts etc.)
* BattleNet Authenticator (For D3)
That's Just about everything I install after I do a fresh Rom Install. Used to install the Facebook app but I find that always runs in the background sucking battery and now I use Facebook via Dolphin. I also install Dropbox but have not yet. It also sucks alot of juice constantly updating my pics with online which is something I like but don't like the battery drain.

I use
No frill CPU (its for rooted uses)
Titanium backup
Root explorer
minecraft mobile admin (I have a server very useful)
I use advanced task killer but I heard its not good to have
Droid vpn (root)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using XDA

Daily use apps include:
1. Audio: Cycle between Audible, Poweramp, Winamp, doubleTwist and jetAudio.
2. Evernote
3. WhatsApp
4. IM+ Pro
5. Gmail
6. TwitPlay
7. TuneIn Radio Pro

On daily basis, I use:
Gmail... K9 Mail would be cooler if it only allowed searches over the server. To my knowledge, only Gmail offers that.
Note Everything: by far the best note taking app I have found on Android. Its only shortcoming is syncing, it uses a separate app which imports/exports documents with Google Docs. Not as good as Evernote in this regard, but much better in every other way.
Widgetlocker: proud to have paid to this app.
Canabalt HD: finally ported from the iPhone, the game really deserves to be played, it's lot of fun for the go.
Swiftkey X: I keep it on even when using the hardware keyboard (ie, most of the time): it improves typing precision and I like suggestions to show up, especially when I type in English. I have obviously disabled auto-completion.
Neutron MP: wonderful music player. It was very heavy on my single core Droid 2 Global, now it's just perfect and smooth. The interface is 10 times better than Poweramp in my opinion. The audio algorhytm does something, during resampling music to 32 bit, to make music sound its best on our devices. To me the Samsung Captivate Glide sounds very good and it's much much better than the Motorola, which sounded so-so even with Neutron.... The Captivate Glide + Neutron convinced me to buy a 64 GB sdxc card today: it will be my portable music player, no need for a separate device. Using it with Audio Technica AD2000 headphones in a park, right now.
Opera Mobile: I have frozen the stock browser to keep this one only.
Titanium Backup: to freeze apps.
Osi rom: I like it very much and it's not strongly themed.
Sony Xperia S launcher: very elegant, clean and quick. Its Icon pack is also a bit better than the stock one.
The file browser coming with Osimod is really wonderful, it won me over my former favourite, Root Browser.
This is not a daily, but:
Tiger Arcade emulator: I will have to try to play Street Fighter III Third Strike with it.

Hey guys, I wanted to suggest a launcher that's really wonderful: "ssLauncher the original". It makes Android something else. I am using it on daily basis. I will probably try TSF Shell at some point (as soon as their long awaited 1.5 release comes out), to see which one I like more.

What apps do you all use frequently? Includes my list

Long story short - I'm looking for suggestions/lists of what apps do you find essential on your tablet or phone. Please be very basic! Assume I don't know about it if I don't mention it in my list.
Looking for apps that solve these problems:
Basic tablet info app - cpu and information
Cleaning app (maybe SD maid?)
Good mp3 music player app I can't seem to find one that I like - I love Winamp for/on my pc - I need one that also has a skip back 10-30 seconds - one that acts like smart audiobook player
Good podcast app - one that acts like smart audiobook player I just love the features of that app (easy to use, auto rewind, lets me look at my library, simple interface, "just works")
Good browser - not chrome (evil), one that does not crash with lots of tabs open, like Firefox for desktops
Adblocker - I'm trying Adaway
Firewall - the one I used to use doesn't work now
App to let me play videos on a screen - I've heard about casting apps and use but I don't know if it really works well or not, and if you need TV that works with it. Maybe there is some plug in dongle you can get to make this work?
Essential magisk modules - I'm very new to this, I just have @ianmacd 's recommended fixes so far
Busybox? - is there a good version to get?
Xprivacy - I need to see if this is still a good app to use, it was nice on my tablet - if not I need to find a replacement
YouTube? - I just use YT in dolphin browser because the app never made sense to me, is using the app a good idea or
Notes - app to write notes that automatically saves (Samsung notes does not do this)
Grocery list app - that will also work with my wife's iPhone
dark mode for Oreo - (supposedly in pie) or a theme for the tab S4 that just works?
Video player - for my own files like saved YouTube videos
Email app for my AOL account - I used to use k-9 but that stopped working for me - I haven't found a replacement I am looking at bluemail but haven't tried it yet
Apps I've heard about but never tried:
Any suggestions for getting them or not?
Tasker - not sure what people use this for
Substraum
MS 365 for Android due to unknown problems I don't have this automatically installed
Dropbox - is the app worth it or should I just use it in a browser?
Something cool, a cool app, lol, but seriously what do you think is just cool
My list of apps I utilize frequently
Dolphin browser - best I've used for Android but it crashes frequently with a lot of tabs open. My wife's iPad can open limitless tabs without crashing. Sigh, I really don't like Apple.
SwiftKey
Tweetings for Twitter - I like it, but you can't save videos from it.
Quickpic - I haven't seen a better android picture viewer
ComicRack - paid version - love this for comics
LMT - the BEST launcher/one hand phone tool. Kills me I can't get it on my phone (note 9 unrooted)
Smart audiobook player - paid version - absolutely the best
FBReader - paid version, absolute best
Titanium backup
TWRP
Magisk - I'm new to this but it's cool
Pocket tanks
Zarchiver - I can't live without it
NextRadio
Diskuasge
Greenify
My phone explorer client
Standard apps I use - are there better apps for these?
All Samsung
Phone
Messages
Calendar - I need a video on how to use calendar for my family and then make everyone do that
Email - for work email
Long story/explanation
I'm just getting back to rooted android and tablet use after almost 4 years of not using a rooted phone and my old tablet unusable because I need to preserve it for imaging so I can get my son's baby pictures.
I started phones, only land lines, then relic flip phone, with a Samsung galaxy S4. I rooted it and loved it until it died. Got unrootable Verizon Note 9 last year and have felt like I've been castrated and jailed. I got a Note Pro 12.2 tablet in 2014 which was great but it crashed and I had to reset it (I was lazy and didn't backup in TWRP) and lost my son's birth and first Christmas pics, so I had to abandon it because I haven't had time to image it and then forensically carve for the pictures.
I feel like I don't recognize much anymore and would be grateful for suggestions.
Also if there is another forum which would be better for me to ask for help in, I would love to get suggestions on where that would be.
Thank you for reading, and your kind suggestions.
Sincerely - I really appreciate it.

Good podcast app - - Podcast Addict

YouTube? - - YouTube App
Notes - app to write notes that automatically saves (Samsung notes does not do this)
Email app for my AOL account - Outlook, Nine, Gmail, Samsung Mail - all can be set up for multiple email accounts
Dropbox - is the app worth it or should I just use it in a browser? - - Use Solid Explorer or other file browser and link to your cloud storage
E-reader - - I think Moon+ Reader is better than FBReader, but I use both; Color Dict + downloaded stardict dictionaries
Microsoft Office but needs 360 account, Google's versions will work for free
White Noise Pro
Walmart (pharmacy), Amazon for Tablets,
Pandora
Need Cable Account, but Fox Sports Go (regional sports channels), ESPN Go, other networks

TVGUIDE app
Local Cinema App
MLB At Bat, NFL App
CamScanner
Flud
Printhand or Printershare
Malwarebytes, Bitdefender Antivirus Free
SwiftKey keyboard
Office Calculator Pro

Etc etc etc
Adding a couple more...
AccuWeather
Nova Loader
HereWeGo offline maps (can locally store the whole USA)
Google Maps (can only store specific maps locally)
Uber
Skype
F-Stop gallery gives a browseable file tree
Your preferred airline(s) for boarding pssses
With a Tab S4 you can have many hundreds of apps, the key is to use a good loader and organize. I have 5 pages of apps. Homepage has the apps I use most, readers, dictionary, cloud storage, app stores, music players, pod cast, gallery apps, etc. Then I have a page with personal accounts, online & brick & mortar shopping, travel. Page three has sports, streaming video and audio, local video. Page 4 has all games. Page 5 has utilities, cameras, optimizers, etc. Within the pages you organize the icons into groups. I find 5 pages to be manageable. Like having multiple desktop monitors on a PC....

Thank you that's extremely helpful!
I'll try moon again. The last time I used it, I didn't like it, but it's been forever.
I really appreciate you posting your go to list.

I use good lock and one hand operations. Makes using the tablet much nicer imo.

Basic tablet info app - cpu and information - Settings->About
Cleaning app (maybe SD maid?) - Settings->Device Care->Storage
Good mp3 music player app I can't seem to find one that I like - AIMP
Good podcast app - I don't do podcasts
Good browser - Samsung Browser from Play store so far is the best for me even under LineageOS, has Adblock, contrast theme (black background to save AMOLED and battery)
Adblocker - see browser
Firewall - root needed, u can configure your router for anything, inlcuding adblocking
App to let me play videos on a screen - MX Player, any app which allows Casting
Essential magisk modules - root needed, I don't see much benefit given no custom ROMs
Busybox? - latest, free
Xprivacy - N/A
YouTube? - Youtube Vanced on xda
Notes - should be tonns of those in Playstore
Grocery list app - again
dark mode for Oreo - get Pie upgrade and use night mode
Video player - MX Player
Email app for my AOL account - comes with Email app in OS
Apps I've heard about but never tried:
Any suggestions for getting them or not?
Tasker - say, regular nightly reboots
Substraum - themes, but the choice of thems, and permissions they ask is ridiculous
MS 365 for Android use SmartOffice for doc,xls, ppt
Dropbox - app should be worth it if u use Dropbox, I don't share my files with some random cloud provider.
Something cool Waze for navigation
My list of apps I utilize frequently
Dolphin browser - worst browser, use Samsung
SwiftKey - nothing wrong with stock keyboard
Tweetings for Twitter - I use browser for all my social media, apps do unusual bad things.
Quickpic - Gallery and Google Photos are fine
ComicRack - paid version - N/A
LMT - I like Nova Launcher
Smart audiobook player - paid version - if u say so
FBReader - paid version, Coolreader is free
Titanium backup - agree
TWRP - it is not an app
Magisk - I'm new to this but it's cool, I'm opposed to rooting without ROMs
Zarchiver - I can't live without it - it is OK
NextRadio - OS comes with Radio client
Diskuasge - Setting->DeviceCare
Greenify - I'm opposed to rooting without ROMs, free Greenify has limited functionality, Samsung OS now does the same things in battery saving mode
My phone explorer client - Amaze File Explorer for me
Phone and Messages - try using Signal if u care about ur privacy
Calendar - I use Smooth Calendar for its widget
Email - for work email

So MX Player vs VLC player:
I like MX Player's ability to zoom video using screen gestures. But I've had limited success casting to a Chromecast. It only got the feature a shirt time ago, and virtually everything I try to cast doesn't work with chromecast. I've never had issues casting local files with VLC Player.
