Recommended Apps/Themes [Updated 4.13.12]

This is a list of recommended apps to make your Android experience an awesome one.​
I don't really post any games because... well, games are your liking and you get those depending on what you like xD
I'll be adding apps over time so keep on coming back and checking!
I feel like the Ace has a lot of apps and themes to choose from. Here is a list of the apps I believe are epicly awesome.
What's a phone without space and some right app management? For that, I recommend s2e. It moves all the Dalvik Cache to the SD card. When I first installed it, it freed up 92MB of internal memory that I didn't knew what getting used up.
S2E: https://market.android.com/details?...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJ1LmtyaWt1bi5zMmUiXQ..
A pretty good ram manager for any phone would be Ram Manager. It keeps your phone running smoothly and worry free.
Ram Manager:https://market.android.com/details?...WFydHByb2plY3RzLlJBTU9wdGltaXphdGlvbkZyZWUiXQ..
For backups and more app management, I highly recommend Titanium Backup. One of the best apps out there hands down. You can batch move all your apps to SD, back up all your apps and system data or just apps if you like. Its so epic, it even backs up all the data on a game. Since I like to switch things a lot on my phone, I use a lot of back ups and Titanium always has me covered.
Titanium Backup https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..
Now for themes; I highly recommend the ICS theme from AChep. This theme completely spices up your phone to the newest and fancy ICS. It changes up everything. Its the BEST ICS theme you'll find out there.
ICS Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313722
For some really awesome ICS live wallpapers, here are some epic ones;
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper: https://market.android.com/details?...pZC5saXZld2FsbHBhcGVyLmljc2NsYXNzaWMubGl0ZSJd
And Ice Cream Sandwich Live WP: https://market.android.com/details?...kLmxpdmV3YWxscGFwZXIuaWNzd2FsbHBhcGVyLnBybyJd
The second one is a paid app but its really worth the money.
Anyway if you want more kickass themes, check out this post! They rock

Afterwards, I present to you the awesome Roboto Font. They new font looks really cool and a different font gives a whole new feel to your phone. To install it, you must first install Font Changer, extract the font and put it in the Font Changer folder in the SD.
Roboto Font: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309621

Next up is an awesome add-on. It gives your status bar a whole new makeover with the ICS style. This add-on also hooks up your phone with the ICS transitions. In my case they're really fast and work wonderfully. Another epic piece of work from CM7.2's dev.
[ANIMATION][STATUS BAR] ICS for CM7.2 by J.A.F. :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360899
To mess with your system files or just check out whats inside your SD, I recommend Root explorer or ES file explorer. Whichever one fits your taste.
Here's another ICS look changer! Themes your lock screen to the ICS style! Just flash it and everything will be fine.
ICS Lockscreen:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18603870&postcount=1
Root Explorer: https://market.android.com/details?...sImNvbS5zcGVlZHNvZnR3YXJlLnJvb3RleHBsb3JlciJd
ES File explorer: https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDEwOSwiY29tLmVzdHJvbmdzLmFuZHJvaWQucG9wIl0.
Now if you want to get rid of all of those ads (Or mostly) I present to you AdFree. This app blocks out most ads from getting to your device.
AdFree: https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5iaWd0aW5jYW4uYW5kcm9pZC5hZGZyZWUiXQ..
Now, what's an ace with a whole bunch of customization but still with the same old bootanimation? Here's where this thread comes in handy; its one of the largest repositories of bootanimations. Pick one that suits your taste and enjoy!
Bootanimations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348731
If you like cloud storage; DropBox is what I recommend. The simple UI makes everything really easy to use. If you don't feel like going through the hassle of connecting your phone via USB just to pass a simple file, you can always DropBox it through your PC and download it to your phone. (Lazy, I know )
DropBox: https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5kcm9wYm94LmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
Here's the best notepad ever. The only issue I have with it is that you can't set it as a sticky note widget. But besides that, it does EVERYTHING you can possibly think of.
Evernote:https://market.android.com/details?...esult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ldmVybm90ZSJd
The stock gallery app is kind of slow and sluggish sometimes so here's a little something to speed up your picture viewing experience.
Quick Pic: https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbGVuc3cuUGljRm9sZGVyIl0.
Need some help in math class? Here's a scientific calculator to make things a little easier!
RealCalc: https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsInVrLmNvLm5pY2tmaW5lcy5SZWFsQ2FsYyJd
Now for web browsing... There's a whole bunch of browsers out there and I can honestly say I've tried them all except one I didn't download because I had the mini version already. Turns out that one that I didn't try was actually the best one. I'm talking about Opera. Opera is smooth, slick and speedy as hell. Its got decent features to use. If you want a max customizable browser, go for Dolphin HD.
Opera Browser: https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLm9wZXJhLmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
Dolphin HD: https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsIm1vYmkubWdlZWsuVHVubnlCcm93c2VyIl0.
A new browser has been discovered. Its fast and the UI looks really good. Its called Nineski Browser.
Ninoski Browser:https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5uaW5lc2t5LmJyb3dzZXIiXQ..
For music, I really like Power AMP. The UI is very cool and it has a couple of themes you can use to switch it up a bit. The equalizer is pretty good too and it has some customization that could change up the way you listen to music on your phone. It offers a 15 day trial and then you have to buy the app. Its another one thats really worth the money.
Power Amp: https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYXhtcHouYXVkaW9wbGF5ZXIiXQ..
If you like to keep an eye on what your usage is, whether its data, calls or sms; Traffic counter is the one for you. It counts every single MB of data that enters or exits your phone and is pretty accurate.
Traffic Counter: https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jYXJsLnRyYWZmaWNjb3VudGVyIl0.
Here's another counter. This one details everything you can possibly know about your battery!
Battery Monitor Widget:https://market.android.com/details?...eloper#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY2NjNzEuYm13Il0.
Now this next one will make your life A LOT easier. This next app can make a widget of almost ANYTHING you can think of in your phone. Its called Widgetsoid and it works wonders.

There are a lot of people having the "Insufficient storage available" problem when downloading apps through market, Here's a fix:

Here is another beastly app that EVERY ROOT/CUSTOM ROM USER MUST HAVE.Which ever one fits you. Point is, you need to have it.
ROM Toolbox:https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&feature=search_result
I never thought I'd put this app in here because of all the flaws but they finally fixed it. Facebook 1.8.0. The update is completely in sync with the web version and everything just simply works wonderfully.
Facebook:https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDIwNSwiY29tLmZhY2Vib29rLmthdGFuYSJd
And well, if Facebook doesn't work for you, here's a complete (and better in my opinion) replacement!
Friendcaster:https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDEsInVrLmNvLnNlbmFiLmJsdWVOb3RpZnlGcmVlIl0.
This next app speeds up the reading and writing speed of your SD card for less waiting time. If you're like me that waits an eternity for the SD to get scanned at boot, wait no more and install this!

LCD Density:https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iaXJkYXBpLmFuZHJvaWQuZHBpIl0.
I personally like having a loud phone. But since our Ace's speaker is a little too low, I fix that up with Volume+. Works wonders. There's a free and paid version. The paid lets you set your volume higher. Here's the link:
Volume+:https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLlRFU1QuYW5kcm9pZC5sdmgiXQ..
This next one is a file manager. But I mostly use it to make back up apks of apps. Its Astro. If my friend wants an app I have, I just back it up and bluetooth it to him. Simple =D
Astro:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro&feature=search_result
This next one is one I found out about recently since I didn't like the dialer of a rom I was using. Afterwards, it became my replacement dialer for every rom I use xD. Here's exDialer. Has some pretty cool themes too.

Yeah. There are a whole bunch of really good apps out there that people can't find. Glad I helped!
But I just realized you're using the Odexed rom version. Can you tell me what the difference is?
No idea what's the difference, it just feels the same to me, but then again I don't rely on Quadrant/Antutu so no idea on the performance

You should include sony's ICS too, since there are some difference to both themes, I'm just using AChep's one cos it feels better than it.

The odexed one has much more free space in data/app.
Anyway the roboto font can be flashed as a zip file to save the hassle.
Hey, I know it's not the place for it, but, since you seem to know a lot, I have to ask... Do you know an ICS theme for CM7.2 but in green instead of blue ?? I'm not a big fan of blue

Why would you want to flash a font? You just install it through font changer and that's it. I've no idea about flashing fonts, just installing through apps.

Thanks.....looks fantastic on the N7!!!!
So much win!!
Awesome, good to hear. I had to sideload them the other day.
The interesting thing was what I used to install it in the first place (before using TB to backup and send) ----- an HP TouchPad. I mean really....a device which never officially had Android had support for the app, but the N7 didn't. LOL

I'm stock and rooted as well. What could it be? Turned off forced landscape in both Nova and system settings everything to auto and still nothing...
Running JR6 ROM from Paul and just installed today. Everything works as it should on my end. I did install the tablet UI over the JR6 rom and I haven't touched the dpi.
App runs fine, but force closes alot. Happens on my galaxy nexus as well, so it may be a crappy app.
Works fine on my rooted AOKP Gnex at stock 320 DPI, but still just a blank screen on my rooted stock rom N7 @ stock 213 dpi. Tried uninstall reinstall and still just nothingness. Baffling.

Hi,
Yeah, gone down to 240 using Rom Toolbox.
Mostly works OK but with the following problems
1. Samsung keyboard crashes all the time causing serious lag in the UI. Suggest installing swiftkey (which works fine at that DPI) and making default before switch, as is tricky to do with non-working keyboard!
2. Clock app crashes when setting alarms. Replaced with doubletwist alarm.
3. Camera app is a little kookie - the settings UI is a bit cut-off, but is just about usable in landscape orientation. Sticking with it for now as mostly OK and my other camera app (ICS camera+) doesnt work at all on N2/JB
other than that, no problems - dialpad works properly unlike note 1, and everything else works lovely.

Hello Goerge,
is TW launcher still running on 240dpi? How is the dialer? Contacts?? Could you please post some screenshots???
Could you please try to change into 213dpi - tablet mode?If the SystemUi will work as a tablet mode? (install NOVA before you do this, dont worry, it will boot and just might come some FCs and you can then revert back to 240dpi.
Can you post then some screenshots?
This is only thing holding me back from NII untill there will be proper tablet ROM ( i am very happy with the tablet mod on N1 from my signature but there are some bugs, but it seems that Samsung stock ICS apps got more compatible with tablet mod with every update - so i am very interested how Samsung handled the Jelly Bean (NEXUS 7 phablet) compatibility when changing stock NII JB to 213dpi.
Please please do this as i did not seen it anyone to try it, i believe more are interested in this.

[Q] DPI settings

Just picked up my new GS3 a couple of days ago. I have been searching for DPI settings. I have changed DPI settings before on my HD2 and Nook Color in system>build.prop. Is that still the method for this phone? I need larger fonts, etc. for my old eyes, and would use 240 on these devices, but the DPI is already set to 320 in build.prop on my GS3.
Can somebody suggest a good setting for me? Also, with these previous devices, certain DPI's had to be used it would throw off the apps available in the market. What are standard settings for GS3?
Thanks for any and all help.

Standard settings for DPI on the GS3 is 320. The android market DPIs are 160, 240, 320 and i believe one more. But dont worry about the market issues. Just flash my modded market and it will always work regardless your DPI.
Also, if you are running a Stock ROM, TouchWiz has issues with some modded DPIs so you will just have to use another home launcher instead.
But if you want things bigger, you will need to increase the DPI value. I think 320 is insane lol..
Where do I find your modded market? I don't see it in your signature links. Sounds like what I am looking for.
I am using mrRobinson's rooted stock rom with apex launcher.
NM I just found it. Looks good.

[Q] Problem with DPI and stock apps

Hi everyone, I bought my G3 yesterday and today I proceeded to change the DPI as things were too monstruous even using small icons and minimum text size.
The stock DPI sets it at 640 and I changed it to 520 as a friend of mine did, but the result was that any of the stock android apps (camera, calendar, calculator, etc) were working, as well as any of the stock widgets.
I really loved how everything looks with that DPI but it's no use if no app works with it, so I got back to 640.
Anyone knows a pleasant DPI that gets everything working smooth? I'm using the stock ROM and I just rooted the terminal, thanks.
to have a decent size for the icons i recomend 580DPI or 590DPI, less than that and the icons are too small! try it.

Hi everyone, I bought my G3 yesterday and today I proceeded to change the DPI as things were too monstruous even using small icons and minimum text size.
The stock DPI sets it at 640 and I changed it to 520 as a friend of mine did, but the result was that any of the stock android apps (camera, calendar, calculator, etc) were working, as well as any of the stock widgets.

I used 550 when I was on stock and everything worked as normal. That was a while ago, but from what I remember it was when you got below 530 was when things got funky.
Thanks! At 550 looks great and everything is working fine.
