IF YOU'VE FOUND THIS POST, OR ANY OF THESE APPS USEFUL, BE SURE TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!
If you know any unique or useful applications, games or widgets please suggest them in this thread so I can check them out. If I think they're good, I'll add them to the list.
*NOTE* - If you wish to know what the best app is regarding your needs, ask in this thread and I, or others, will be able to help you out.
So, if you want to know what the best music player is, ask here and I'll suggest the best ones available.

If you don't suggest a better app, I won't change anything.
Must Have Apps on the Galaxy SIII
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.
Must Have Apps on the Galaxy SIII
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.

I've really never given TB a chance or used it that much.
May I suggest some apps
Apex Launcher- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRkb2VzLmxhdW5jaGVyIl0
IMDb- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5pbWRiLm1vYmlsZSJd

Phantom Music Control - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget&hl=en
I use it with Widget Locker, great lockscreen music control that has great themes if you get the pro unlock (just $1.99 i believe)
I've been digging Gameboid and Nesoid. Snesoid and psx4droid are nice but too many onscreen buttons if you don't have a controller.

Notifier pro plus---gives you repeat notifications for apps you choose. great for when you get certain events or notifications you dont want to miss
auto wifi toggle-- lets you set up times through out the day that it triggers wifi. if there is no connection with in a set amount of time it turns back off. great for people who like to be connected to wifi. saves battery because wifi isnt always on.
screen on app that keeps the screen on when in apps you choose. great for well pretty much every app that you want the screen to stay on
screen caster app that records the android screen. great for if you want to show a but to a dev or show an app to a friend. you can record the screen, it can also record your voice so you can explain whats going on. you can then load it to youtube.
droid wall great security app that actually works. when set up it block incoming and outgoing data connections. with this app you can ensure that none of your data is leaving your phone with out you knowing. note that if one of your apps isnt working you may need to check what you have set up.
Lux auto brightness a screen brightness app that works very wekk when set up properly. helps me save battery. also great for at night with a loer brightness. the screen no longer hurts my eyes when i first turn it on.
Smart screen off good app for turning off the screen. uses the proximity sensor to turn off the screen if its covered for a certain period of time. great so you dont pocket dial!
this is just some of my collection that ive been gathering over the years.
most of these app are paid apps but trust me they are good ones.
hope you like them!!!!
If you want a security app, how about Cerberus?
LBE Privacy Guard is a great security app as well. Allows you to manage and change any permission on any app. For example, if some apps want GPS (Angry Birds Space) and will automatically turn it on for location based ads, you deny it right off the bat.
Anytime you install an app from the store, a notification will allow you to manage the permissions for that app before you ever launch it.
Another one would be Avast. A security app that does all kinds of things I don't even know what they are. Have the ability to install at kernel level if rooted too, which could be beneficial.
Zedge should probably be in there somewhere.
Never really used romtoolbox.. I've never had a reason..
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I'm not gonna be adding any lockscreens or launchers to the list because there's already tons of threads on each forum that go into detail about them. You're all welcome to post them in your own list as a couple of you have
I'm not too sure on which security app I'll add yet because I haven't really tried many yet.
I'm also undecided about a wallpapers app at the moment. I used to use Zedge until I found out about PicSpeed HD Wallpapers and I've used it since. Then there's Wallbase HD Wallpapers that FrameCityJackal mentioned aswell.
Any other wallpaper apps I should check out?

i REALLY like this, i think it just needs a few little tweaks and it will potentially forever be my first loaded app after a flash
I find the trigger point for swiping sometimes covering buttons a bit ang gets activated without fully intending. What about maybe making it activate on a triple click, or maybe a double click, with the slide on the second click? Dont know how well they would work, but just some thoughts i had to try to solve that issue.
Ahhh whilst just reloading it i noticed the home double click option, i'll give that a whirl
The other thing is that i woiuld like to be able to make the scrolling bars maybe be a little less themed. I've been checking out some similar programs and i just find the scrolling to not quite be as good on this. I'm thinking if the bars were simplified a bit, it could perhaps help that? or maybe it might be drawing them as an overlay, rather than actually using a full side of the screen for example. I do a lot of coding, but havent done any on android, so i've got some ideas, but just not sure if they would necessarily make much of a difference or not.
I'm just about to reload it now, but i'm just trying to remember if there is any sort of option to add shortcuts/actions etc to tabs, rather than just apps, something else to consider perhaps.
there are people complaining in the play store about it being a home launcher, i dont quite get what they mean, (yes it has the default action for launcher applied), but the way it uses it's backup launcher it really does seem to work "in addition" to the backup launcher. I'm thinking they are talking about screen redraws, but i couldnt get any to happen (maybe needs to be running a while longer)
Anyway overall i LOVE your work, but (and obviously it's the message from the play store comments) i'd love to see it be cut back more if possible, to try to avoid any noticeable impact to the system, and for the people on play (who arent really clarifying what they want i dont think) maybe trying to tweak it's interaction with the fallback launcher (i'm not sure exactly what their issue is as i said, i'm taking a bit of a stab)
:good:
reinstalled it just then and disabled the trigger, and set activation to double click home :good::highfive:
disabled themes as much as i could, i'll give it a spin like this and see how it goes.
Does anyone know why the stock rom for the t989 power menu won't show up when I try to reboot phone. It just shuts off completely without asking what I would like to do when you press the power button.
Because it's stock. It doesn't have that feature yet.
----------------------------------------------
I'm full of great idea's, but don't have the time to create them or learn the coding to create them. If you want to make one of my ideas a reality just message me and I will give you my idea as specific as possible.
ideas:
Spoiler
-launcher/lock screen
-line rider type game where you control the character
-2d fighting game like art of fighting for the SNES
-multiplayer fps where you create your own map with a creative mode (minecraft style)
-roller coaster tycoon style game
-many more!
Just message me which idea you want info on and I'll tell you!

no hee if talking about why it didn't display at all, not why it doesn't have the extended options.
I ran across this using the stock ROM when I first got my second replacement T989. Only way to fix is to reflash the ROM.
If your phone is rooted easy enough just be sure to wipe system data and both cache and dalvick cache.
If not rooted look for a full download of newest install (usually install Samsung kies on a computer, run it, and in tools menu with phone connected and drivers installed it has an option to do a full or clean flash of newest ROM version.
Stock ROM has a power menu, but only has like power off and airplane mode, it is different than custom ROMs that include restart to recovery and any other custom options the developers build in.

I take no credit for this, as I am not the dev. I'm just sharing and hoping a dev will see it and incorporate it in there next aroma installer Rom!
Smart Launcher is an innovative launcher characterized by a minimalist design, low memory usage and an user-friendly UI that let you start any application with a few taps.
It is currently the only launcher on the store to features automatic cataloging of installed apps!

Features:
- Main screen with Quick Start
- Drawer organized by categories
- Ready to use without special configurations.
- Support for Live Wallpaper and screens of different sizes.
- Support of set of icons for Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher
Bugs that I have noticed:
-When installing or downloading something the launcher tends to lag a bit
-When switching from upside down view to face up view it tends to lag a bit
-opening the play store can sometimes cause a lag
-whatever else you guys find!

Thanks for reply
Hi Folks,
I am working on a new launcher for Android - visit terrainhome.com to get to the play store link, or search for "terrainhome" in the play store.
It is based on the stock android launcher, but adds the following key features:
1. Really fast device search
2. Sidebar with lightweight, web-powered widgets
3. Badges for unread gmail, messenger and phone
It will only work on phones (no tablet support right now), and with Android 4.1+.
Even though I think that its pretty stable, I would love get your feedback if you see any trouble or if you have any suggestions on how to improve it.

Just tried it, very nice! :good: The Google Now like bar is almost better than the Google one since it has the controls and recent apps (and that we know that Google doesn't get our data xD). A few issues though:
Startup time, on first start there is a black screen for a few seconds until the get started page comes up (and that is also pretty lagging at first)
There could be (a lot) more settings and customization options, since this is a launcher, I would want a 5*4 grid or other animations for instance. Just take a look at nova and you have a lot of work (just kidding)
And could you please call the launcher activity "terrain" and not "launcher" ? I find it really annoying and distracting that most launchers do this (including the Kitkat laumcher).
Other than that, pretty cool and fast launcher, gonna be my daily if you add some more customization (need that 5*4 grid)

Just tried it, very nice! :good: The Google Now like bar is almost better than the Google one since it has the controls and recent apps (and that we know that Google doesn't get our data xD). A few issues though:
Startup time, on first start there is a black screen for a few seconds until the get started page comes up (and that is also pretty lagging at first)
There could be (a lot) more settings and customization options, since this is a launcher, I would want a 5*4 grid or other animations for instance. Just take a look at nova and you have a lot of work (just kidding)
And could you please call the launcher activity "terrain" and not "launcher" ? I find it really annoying and distracting that most launchers do this (including the Kitkat laumcher).

Thanks for the feedback! I will look at the startup time, it should not be so high. The activity is called "Terrain", its wierd that its showing it to you as launcher. I want to nail down the sidebar and search before adding 'advanced' launcher features like grid size, but its something that I definitely want to do.
I've been looking for a new launcher for a bit of time now to replace Nova Prime, which I'm getting tired of. Thankfully, I have for this launcher to use. I've been using it now for a bit of time now.

Please add a dark feature for the sidebar.

Looks interesting. Installing it "as we speak". Will follow up with feedback after I've had some experience with it. Can't wait! :fingers-crossed::highfive:
