AirDroid can be used for so much more than typing stuff...
Adding music, deleting music.
Removing apps, adding apps.
Its really easy compared to hooking up a USB cord and going from there.
Photoshop Touch is incompatible, you need to sideload it. But do agree with a lot of them. Lightflow is a definite must, morequicklypanel is a good one but does take up a notification, and also for me Battery Widget Reborn is a quality app. great battery statistics

Sent from my G2
Grooveshark: this is by far my favorite app, it allows me to upload all of my music files to their servers, and stream them on my G2 over 3g/HSPA/WiFi. I don't have to use my sd card for mp3's at all. The audio quality is just as good over streaming. I can also search other user's collections and stream those too. The app is very well constructed, with pull down menus, album art, and many other features I haven't even used yet. Costs $3/month and worth every penny.
AOR (Android Online Radio): pulls internet radio stations from all over the world. Just like Ootunes on iOS and WunderRadio on WinMo. But for Android it's free!
Zedge: wallpaper and ringtones app. Free, worth more. I have my phone setup to use R2D2's sounds for ringtone, and Chewbacca's cry for text notifications. Very cool.
Angry Birds Lite: enough said, fun and maddening game. Free
Raging Thunder 2: great racer for the G2, play it daily. $5.99? I think, don't remember.
Fruit Ninja: very fun, but very difficult game. I am lucky to last 90 seconds. But good for a quick game fix. $.99
Beautiful Widgets: customize your desktop with clocks and weather widgets. Lots of different styles, easy to adapt to whatever wallpaper you use. $2.99? Don't remember what it cost.

This thread was really gaining speed, and good information in the general section. Here in the "theme and apps" sections it's going to die. Much like mine and a second similar one after that.
It was very informative while it lasted.
Apps:
AlarmDroid - Awesome Alarm Clock
APKtor - Public Market
Appbrain App Market
Dialerone - Alternative Dialer
EasyMoney Lite - checkbook app
File Manager
Gtasks - todo lists that syncs with Google Tasks
Handcent SMS - alternative texting app
Tasker - automation app like locale but much more features.
Zeam Launcher - Silly fast launcher
Widgets:
Brightness Level
Gauge Battery
tajm - clock widget
wifi onoff
Mobile Signal Widget
Not in any particular order...
Applanet - black market
Handcent - good for my particular texting needs
TeslaLED - Dear God that SOB is bright!!
Mobile Manager - nice app to get into the SD card and other things
DropBox Mobile - lets me access documents across multiple devices
Documents2Go - open and edit MS Office documents
EasyTether - USB tether
Mixzing - music player
Dolphin Browser - I like the tabs
RoadSync - exchange email sync
Those are the ones I use most often. The list could go on and on though... If I had root access I would add Barnacle WiFi to it which is a great hotspot creator, but since I can't use that app anymore, it doesn't make the list.
1. Official XBMC Remote - Beautiful if you have XBMC running on a PC or anything else for that matter

Currently selected folder and files are highlighed, while other folders/files have slighly darker background.
You may explore internals of the device, and if you're power user and have your device rooted, you can make changes to system data - backup files, remove unwanted applications, etc.
If you're standard user, you may choose to hide internal memory from view and be sure not to mess with system.

X-plore can show SQLite database files (those with .db extension) as expandable list of tables, each table containing list of rows and columns with database entries.
Main interaction is done by touch screen, clicking on folders or files to open files, or long-click to open context menu which contains options which can be done on particular clicked item, or multiple selected items.
Multi-selection allows to do operation on more files at once. Files can be selected by clicking check box. It is also possible to select all files in a folder, or clear selection, by clicking parent folder's check box.
Opening file may mean to use one of built-in viewer for most popular file types: images, audio, video and text.
Or you may configure X-plore to use system application for opening files, in which case system-predefined application that can open particular file is launched.
Archives (currently supported are Zip and Rar) are displayed as other folders. You may open them, see contents, and do standard operations that you'd do on files - rename, delete, copy from/to, etc.
Additional interaction is possible by button bar, which is between two panes, and is fully configurable. You may put buttons of your desired operations here, and change ordering.

I downloaded an app called: FILE TOOLS - using it you can simply rename the files in one go
Also to add if you are looking for missing cover arts, try this - COVER ART DOWNLOADER

MUSIC - Poweramp (The king of the hill)
BATTERY WIDGET - Battery Widget Reborn (Includes proper battery % in the notification bar)
CLOCK - 3D Flip Clock (multi-touch programmable, weather, great look)
LAUNCHER - Nova (Not as flash as some launchers, but still great)
TEXT APP - 8SMS (Simple, crisp and clean, with nice clear pop up notification)
BARCODE SCANNER - ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner (Very quick at capturing scans and showing comparison prices on amazon etc.)
KEYBOARD - Google Keyboard (the swipe is gorgeous, it's quick and very very smart)
WALLPAPER APP - Zedge (includes ringtones and notification tones)
POWER CONTROL WIDGET - Power Toggles (Very customizable and quick)
SCREEN OFF - Screen Off and Lock (a great wee app I put on all my devices, touch and screen off) comes with various off animations but I always use retro tv

2nd BEST COOL APP - Light Flow Lite - LED Control (Set up different colours and flash rate and vibration for all your notifications)

------------------------------------------------------
If I find any fabulous, new, must have apps I will post 'em here

I like Pulse over flipboard try it. ^_^
Google Newstand is pretty cool too.But it consumes too much data.

Live Score Addicts and The Football App are pretty great for football freaks.
I also love Feedly (news content) and Swiftkey (probably the best keyboard). I also like Greenify very much, but it's unuseful now because we have no root on the phone.. (unless unlocking the bootloader which I don't want to do now).
What's the battery life like with all of these apps installed? Also, anyone try the Google Experience Launcher over Nova for their launcher?
I like the Google Now feature, especially with the feature to be able to say "Ok Google" at any time on your home screen. Gravity Screen also seems like it'd waste a lot of battery.
Lightflow has low utility as our devices only has the white led...
Sent from my Moto G
i use Chronus for clock, calendar and weather, it's a really good app
Here are some to start off:
ES File Explorer is my favorite file managing app
Airdroid
Dynamic Notifications is worth a try
Evernote
Pandora
TuneIn Radio
Dropbox
Skydrive
Skype
i'm agree, Airdroid is Awesome !
i forget a precious apps : Llama - Location Profiles to automatically activate/deactivate wifi, sound, or other things.
Android Reverse Tethering - Presently, you are required to connect / disconnect to a wifi signal before running this utility.
Must have apps on my Moto G :
1) ES File Explorer
2) Titanium Backup ( if rooted )
3) Skype
4) Mx Player
5) LiveScore
6) Winamo Pro ( for shoutcast )
7) PowerAmp for local music
8) Adobe Reader
9) Ebay
10) Flashlight
11) KitKat Launcher
For battery percentage you should use "battery overlay percent" it shows the % you have left as overlay on your original battery. :good:
I also like "Power schedule", for turning bluetooth etc. on and off. :fingers-crossed:
my all time list:
smart launcher,
bsplayer,
dropbox,
es file explorer,
jetaudio,
keep,
my cloud player,
quickpic,
skype,
stumbleupon,
tunein radio,

Sofascore<<< I'm convinced that this is THE best football/score app there is with a modern android design.
I use a sound through wifi a lot and definitely the best pair are: AirBubble for receiving (paid, or otherwise a lot of noise after half an hour of use) and Aoa for transmitting the signal from my Android TV stick.

One issue i do have is the lack of Flash player for this phone, i have tried all links to do with it, but no joy, any ideas?
Install Dolphin Browser, that has flash on it.

It did not work for me,
However,
Doing this worked like a charm.
Save the Flash player.apk to Google drive (this has filters and converters)
Once saved open from your device and hey presto it installs Flash player to your phone.
Apparently it will work this way on other apk files that don't install normally
i will try to find the link where i got the tip from.

AccuBattery
? Designed to keep your battery in the best shape you can – AndroidHeadlines
AccuBattery protects battery health, displays battery usage information, and measures battery capacity (mAh) based on science.
❤ BATTERY HEALTH
Batteries have a limited lifespan. Every time you charge your device, it wears out the battery, lowering its total capacity. Scientific research shows that battery lifespan can be extended up to 200%, when you charge your device to only 80%.
- Use our charge alarm to prolong your battery lifespan.
- Discover how much battery wear was endured during your charge session.
? BATTERY USE
AccuBattery measures the actual battery usage using information from the battery charge controller. Battery usage per app is determined by combining these measurements with information on which app is in the foreground. Android calculates battery usage using pre-baked profiles that device manufacturers provide, like how much power the CPU uses. In practice however, these numbers tend to be highly inaccurate.
- Monitor how much battery your device is using
- Know how long you can use your device when it’s active or in standby mode
- Find out how much power each app uses.
- Check how often your device gets woken up from deep sleep.
? CHARGE SPEED
Use AccuBattery to find the fastest charger and USB cable for your device. Measure the charging current (in mA) to find out!
- Check how fast your device is charging when the screen is on or off.
- Know how long it takes to charge your phone and when it’s finished.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Measure real battery capacity (in mAh).
- Use the charge alarm to prolong battery lifespan.
- See how much wear your battery sustains with each charge session.
- Look up the discharge speed and battery consumption per app.
- Remaining charge time - know how long it takes before your battery is charged.
- Remaining use time - know when you will run out of battery.
- Screen on or screen off estimations.
- Check the percentage of deep sleep, when the device is in standby mode.
- Ongoing notification for real time battery statistics at a glance.
? PRO FEATURES
- Real-time CPU and power usage overlay for spotting battery draining processes.
- Use Dark and AMOLED black themes to save energy.

Your email inbox should help you live and work better, but instead it often buries the important stuff and creates more stress than it relieves. Inbox, built by the Gmail team, keeps things organized and helps you get back to what matters.
• HIGHLIGHTS - Get the most important information without even opening the message. Check-in for flights, see shipping information for purchases, and view photos from friends right up front.
• BUNDLES - Similar messages are bundled together so you can deal with them all at once. And get rid of them with one swipe.
• REMINDERS - More than mail, you can add Reminders so your inbox contains all the things you need to get back to.
• SNOOZE - Snooze emails and Reminders to come back when you are ready to deal with them: next week, when you get home, or whenever you choose.
• SEARCH - Inbox helps you find exactly what you’re looking for— from your upcoming flight to a friend's address— without having to dig through messages.
• WORKS WITH GMAIL - Inbox is built by the Gmail team, so all your messages from Gmail are here, along with the reliability and spam protection of Gmail. All of your messages are still in Gmail and always will be.
