I made this thread to give app suggestions that are good out better than the usual ones
Let's start:
1- FBM for Facebook: (free)
Now we all know that the official Facebook app sucks and uses a LOT of ram, this app gives you the mobile web view of Facebook(like the one in the browser) and it is super SMOOTH!
2- Smart Status Bar: (free)
Ever wanted to check a notification while playing games or using a fulscreen ago? This app does exactly what you need! You might think that an app like that will use many ram but you're wrong, it is simple, responsive and uses a small amount of ram.
3- Adaway: (free)
A one-click Ads blocker and the best thing about it is that it actually works!!
4- IMO messenger: (free)
Despite the fact that almost every one that uses this app thinks it's bad, this is the ultimate messaging all I use on all my devices (it also has its own social network, but I don't use that ). You can use multiple accounts at the same time, hero's if you have a business account and a personal one. And it has a wide selection of social networks that you can log in to!
5- Better app manger: (free)
Simple Application manger!
Backup apps(no data backups)
Multi-Uninstall
Share apps(even .apks)
All that for free and without root
6- Auto Memory Manger: (free)
A great app to tweak your out-of-memory manager settings yourself
(warning: you need to know what you're doing)
More coming soon
If you have any suggestions please leave them here...

I tried to greenify the Facebook official app before but it didn't work (which was the reason I found fbm)
did I do something wrong or is Facebook just un-greenify-able?
And I have never heard of tasks before...I will give it a try and see what it can do

Greenify said that if I greenified an app, it will be stopped, or paused, until I open it again.
I tried that on Facebook but it was still left active taking 34mb of my ram!

Hi,
Are there any free apps, or cheap apps that organize your folder alphabetically?
Thanks
Folder organizer. Lite or pro version 1.50

K thanks. I'll try that out
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
There are a lot of them both freely available with ads and paid apps. I'm using one that I really like called, "AutoApp Organizer Free" on both my phone and on my tab. The interface took two clicks to alpha organize my apps. I'm running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and no FCs in the three weeks I've been using it. The UI is easy to understand, well designed and the small banner ad in the free version is unobtrusive. I did try the free version of Folder Organizer and had problems with freezing on my tab. Contacted the Dev and never heard back. Uninstalled it was... right quick and in a hurry. Since I have not had the same experience with AutoApp Organizer, I haven't had a need to contact the Dev (a good thing!!) so I can't comment on the responsiveness of the Dev but the comments in the Market (still can't call it the Play Store.... I think its stupid!) Indicate he's quick to reply and quick to fix when problems have been reported. Here's a link to it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.utility.autoapporganizer
Good luck and Enjoy!

Apps Organizer - Love this app. I only have my home screen with app folder groups rather than 3 screens of app icons. The icon set for this app is attractive and not cheesy and I love how you can change the icons if the default ones don't work for you.
Hi guys I opened this thread up to share some of my top favorite rooted applications. Many experienced users will know what most of these are but some may be new, and of course this is a great place to begin for inexperienced root users. I'm not going to go into crazy detail about all of them but I'm hoping that others will post, comment, and share their findings as well. Take a look.
Avast! - advanced mobile security that gives you virus scan, theft protection, firewall, text/call block, and more!
Adfree- self explanatory. One of the best ad blockers for your browser in the market.
Airdroid- this is my personal favorite. Simply run the app, follow the quick instructions and BOOM you are managing all your own files from your phone both internal and external on your regular desktop computers or laptops. Its super easy to use and a must have.
Cachemate- clears cache with a click of a button.
My backup (root edition) - serves just like titanium backup. Easily backup your apks and data or just apks alone. Also includes photos/videos/music. Reason why I prefer this is because I used to use titanium mainly for freezing and backing up but ics/jb both have the "disable" option now.
Quickboot- quickly boot into recovery/reboot/power off
Root browser- arguably the best file explorer/manager out there. Pretty fast r/w speeds.
Root call blocker- not only can you manually enter the numbers you want blocked but this is one of the first apps I found where your phone won't even ring whatsoever.
SD booster- boost SD card speed. Don't know too much about it but was told from a friend to set the speed to 2048kb for optimization.
Terminal emulator- the "command prompt" of android.
Undelete- ever accidently delete a file and get really mad? Simply run this app and snatch it back!
Voodoo ota- copies your superuser binaries and allows you to keep root after an ota update (going to come in handy once the official jb comes through )
Hope you guys enjoy these apps. Obviously not responsible for anything that these do to your device. Please comment and also share your findings ! Thank you

I am using Grrenify and Seeder. From "hacktools" Faceniff and wi-fi kill.
greenify is great.
my recommendations are Android Firewall, Root Explorer, and Titanium Backup.
Android Firewall is great in that it blocks internet (WiFi/mobile data/both) to apps that you specify. this is great for blocking ads for those that want to play games that do not require a data connection.
As this thread is about root apps I thought I'd ask here rather then start a new thread.... has anyone found a screen recorder that actually works on the M? I've tried SRC and screencast with no luck...even a method that requires me to connect it to the PC would be great....

Well you never used AirPush Detector app for example or another one? Do you use malwares protection as LBE Security manager, Pdroid...?
Maybe you could check the settins app or clear data of the game.
I haven't tried the apps you said. But I did clear the data and re-start the game again, with no luck, still not work.
Now, I found out that it was the server problem. I can play the same game from other producer and it works fine.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
You maybe un-checked the notification the time you install the game.
Try to browse the game again from the store and check the notification checkbox.
And also go to app setting of your phone and open the settings of the game and check the notification checkbox.
Btw, this notifications can drain more power to your battery. If you have many application which you rarely use I suggest to uncheck its notification. I got this battery problem before with my GN2.
I discovered this gem of an app a couple months ago thanks to an article on Lifehacker. Lifehacker's app recommendations can be hit or miss, so I took this with a grain of salt. But after trying it for a couple months, I couldn't be happier with the results and it's become one of my absolute favorite apps. I've noticed a few of you mentioning it in various forums as well, so apparently word has gotten around! But to those of you who have yet to try Greenify, I would highly recommend it. Basically it "auto-hibernates apps". So, for instance, if you have the Facebook app, but don't necessarily care to have it running in the background eating valuable battery life, Greenify will hibernate that app for you. It's very simple to set up and it has definitely extended my battery life after adding around 7-8 apps to my hibernate list. I'm attaching the Lifehacker article and Google Play links below.

basically, go into "manage apps" -> "running apps" and determine which apps are running that you really do NOT NEED to be running all the time. for me, it was facebook, scramble with friends, beat the streak, play music, and a few others. I then open the greenify app, and selected just those apps. then, greenify will hibernate them so that they are not running in the background. only downside is that I do not get notifications for those apps (which is fine by me). however, I can still access them just fine and they launch very quickly/smoothly as if they were not hibernating.
How did you Greenify Play Music? I don't see it on the list. Is that considered a system app?

I'm interested as to what apps you have done this to? I have the Pro and would love to know which apps you have successfully converted, thanks ahead.
Can anybody help me out by explaining (or linking to me an article that explains) how Greenify actually works its magic? Does it just run a service in the background that is constantly monitors active processes that have been "Greenified" and forces these processes to go into "Hibernate" mode when the screen is off, and prevents any partial wakes?
Thanks guys.
Before greenify I would unplug my phone at 930 pm and wake up at 5 am and the battery would be at 78%, with greenify doing the same method I only drop to 88%!

Through ample time of tinkering with settings I finally have it up and running lag free!
What you'll need:
Market Helper app (Google it)
GLTools in the play store
Open market helper and set your device to "tabled" and model to "asus transformer". By doing this the play store will display apps and games designed for tablets. Go to play store and download "commander". Now install and open "gltools" you will need a custom kernel such as the govnaaa in order for it to install. Open the gltools app and select commander and set the following
*Enable custom settings for this application.
*Optimize GLSL Shaders
*Use fake GPU info
*Use fake CPU info
*Use A template (nvidia tegra4 shield)
Exit gltools and launch commander BOOM it works!
These are not my apps and take no credit for them.

Like the guy above me. Galaxy S5 running CM12. After tapping "activate", it'll go up to "doing magical things" and then says unfortunately market helper has stopped working.
Any ideas how to resolve this? Can't get Xposed because it's not compatible with S5 yet apparently too. Sad face..
