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

Hi guys,
I was looking for an app to rename multiple files (as I downloaded many .mp files on my mobile through website and their names were like: music1-WEBSITE.COM.mps, music2-WEBSITE.COM.mp3, etc) I wanted to remove all the -WEBSITE.COM from my directory using mobile itself.
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
OP updated..
42. BUTTON SAVIOR - you can use this App to simulate hardware keys on screen without having to root your device Recommend
43. FILE TOOLS - using it you can simply rename the files in one go.
44. SCREEN FILTER - it applies a shade that acts as a dimmer to ensure your eyes don't hurt. Far more powerful than Android's built-in brightness setting. Great for low-light gaming, web browsing, and eBook reading. It even saves battery life for AMOLED displays

Hi!
Make use of the built-in pressure sensor of your device!
It's a Barometer and altimeter app that also supports DashClock widget. Now you can track pressure trends with your device!
Features:
- Holo dark theme.
- Swiping between screens.
- Charts - 12h, 24h, 2 days, 4 days 7 days and 14 days.
- Resizable widget (Android 4.1+) showing current pressure and trends.
- Data exporting to a .csv file (supported by MS Excel etc.)
- Dash Clock Extension

If you set your ICAO code (can be found here: http://www.mapping.com/airportcodes.shtml) the app will download the QNH from the nearest airport to provide more accurate altitude values.
It's great for para gliders, those who like hiking in mountains etc. - you can record your altitude and export it to a .csv file.
Get it on GooglePlay - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.baggus.barometr

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.
- Access to historical sessions older than 1 day.
- Detailed battery statistics in notification.
