Haha.... but I have no big ego... I'm just participating in the xda-community....by posting this thread.... these apps I thought were very useful... since I find my self using them all the time!... and though I'd share my top 5 with my fellow N7 owners.... you don't have to use any of them if you don't too... as everyone has their own opinion and is different...

Nice video. Thanks for the suggestions. The only one that makes me scratch my head is the rotation one. Why not just recommend an alternative launcher such as Nova that gives you rotation capability plus a whole lot more?

Sorry let me be more specific. While googling good apps to download for the Nexus 7 most lists are these and popular android apps that everyone already knows about.. I was hoping to see an extended list with some more apps that may not be on everyone's radar.

Hey everyone
A buddy of mine just picked up the Galaxy Note II and loaned it to me for a few days for some hackery goodness. Looking to get an overclock kernel out soon! And hopefully pick up one of my own for development. No upgrade available to me for now so it's going to cost a pretty penny. Had the Galaxy Note running CPU/GPU overclock just after release, looking to do the same here! Look for releases from me soon

Only have 2 or 3 days with the Note II before I have to give it back to my buddy, so I'll be working hard to get the overclock kernel out ASAP. Hope to be able to afford a Note II of my own some time this year for further development

It would be great to get you involved in the development for this phone, especially since it looks like DAGr8 is hoping on board. Used your work on the captivate and skyrocket, so I know of the great work you put out.
You should seriously try to borrow your friends Note more and get an overclocked kernel out
We need to come together and get Da_G a note 2 of his own!!
Call at&t complain about something request an uograde they will grant it at the current sale price. Thats whatva few us have done.

What upcoming or already out phone could be a good replacement for the note 2? As much as I love this phone (especially the battery life!) I have to admit it's just slightly too big. I'm looking for possible replacements and I have been eying the nexus 4 since I love flashing so much... I was just wondering what other suggestions people might have or what things I'll miss if I do make the switch?
Thanks

What he said ^^
I bought my galaxy nexus a year ago, and I used the stock rom for a long time.
I always tought it was a good idea to be the firt to get google updates....
Since 2013 I started to flash custom roms on my device (i tried a lot of them), and I liked much more than the stock rom.
Whats the point of having a nexus phone, if im already using custom roms?
I wont get update by google anyway.
I want to buy a new phone, and prefer samsung quality over LG, so I was thinking to buy a galaxy S3 (here in Brazil is cheaper too).
there is any reason not to buy GS3 over N4? (using custom rom)
a friend of mine told me that custom roms run much better on nexus devices because they are open source and have less bugs.
is it true?
Nexus phones are made to be easily unlocked with with a simple command.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
plus, with those custom roms, since you have a nexus it will be the first or among the first to get the newest updates to android or hell at least the most stable before any of the OEM versions or the ports that follow or lead up to them. Basically, nexus=first dibs to new stuff (from google anyway, as long as the device supports it)

This. Have you ever unlocked a Motorola device? It is nerve wrecking. Look it up on YouTube. You almost have to do a ritual dance with incense to do it correctly without bricking your device.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Something else to consider is updates to the proprietary files and other fun stuff that isn't open sourced. Nexus devices have these things update pretty regularly, and with the new OS build. Others...well of course they lag a bit behind the Nexus line, and as such may not see an update for a month or more in most cases.
S3 becuz u can just port some s4 stuff over to it. Which is the newest stuff.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
N4 is actually better at hardware level (more ram and a newer cpu) and consequently you will have a longer lifetime for you device ..if you will have treated it gently
The S4 if you don't mind the high price otherwise the N4.

I can get the S4 for $99 if I trade in my Gnex. Here's the catch: I have to sign a two year contract.

Don't agree... If one has an S3, no point upgrading to S4.. Now if you don't have an S3 already.. Just skip it and get s4. Actually, I realized I don't care about any phone if its not a Nexus.

i prefer my GNex over and Galaxy S3S/4 any day. i work on Galaxy S's almost every day and while unlocking/rooting/flashing them is literally a < 5 minute process they just feel too large and clunky to play with. big screen is ok, hardware is good, but my GNex just feels more responsive and clean and having support for all of the latest Android updates first in line is a bonus. Nexus 4 is ok too but it reminds me of holding an iPhone too much and i don't like the feel of the device. just an opinion

Yea, nice, but can someone tell me, why did anyone have to pay for that twice?
It seems that every time, there is upgrade, I have to pay again (and not just me, a whole bunch of users complain on that...)
Does it even run smoother than tapatalk 2? I found that laggy a bit.. I just have the original you could say, v2.4.13.. And works great.

Other than being a multi forum app(not that I read any other forum nowadays) the interface looks better. I wouldn't buy at full price, just as I didn't buy version 2, but at a discounted price, I would give it a try

Thanks for the replies both. This is really the only forum I follow daily, I'll probably give Tapatalk a go though anyway.
I bought it on sale and I switched back to the old one. It feels like they went with pretty over functional.
Also, It feels like I'm not on a forum. More like I'm reading nerd Facebook statuses.

If you like paranoid android phablet mode you'll be more inclined to like the it. It's not meant for a phone display- and actually it is the replacement for their tablet app. I bought it because it's on sale for the price of a can of pop and maybe I'll get a tablet some day.
i used this entire time the beta, and apparently Tapatalk 4 it still has this bug remain from tapatalk 2
like when you scroll down it sometimes shows thesame block of threads twice.. or messages in threads..
Sometimes in Subscriptions only the threads I subbed to appear, and not the main page for example Nexus 4.
Also not all strings of text are translated which smells like beta.
New UI, same crap. But it's useful enough for me so I use it. Better than using browser for sure.
Love this App. If you are active with many different forums, this is the best app for you.
I hate the new layout. I'm going to keep using the beta version until I can't.
I bought version 2 long ago and I hoped that it would be upgraded so nobody would have to buy it again. I did anyway since it was only a buck but I really am disappointed with it.
