Recommend apps/tweaks/ROMS/etc to improve the Nexus 7 experience - Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps

So it would be cool if everyone recommended cool stuff for the Nexus 7 that you think improves the overall experience of that it's a must have. Let's try to take full advantage of everything this tablet and Android has to offer.
Recommend apps/tweaks/ROMS and anything you think will make this tablet even better than it is. And don't forget to mention what is you're recommending.
My list:
- A custom kernel that allows double tap to wake on the screen. It's awesome and works every time. ElementalX has this.
- Plex app if you own a NAS that works as a media hub. The latest version of the app is just awesome.
- Rebooter app and screen off app. Thanks to this and the previous kernel I don't need to use the power button never again. You need to be rooted for rebooter to work.
- Auto hide screen buttons app. You need to be rooted.
- AdBlock Plus app. You need to be rooted.
- Emulators apps for old games. There's a new one called reicast for dreamcast games!
- Any battery app that can display percentage on the top bar.
That's it for now. Let's see your recommendations.

Greenify app and lagfix app are also good at improving Nexus 7 functioning.
Some of my touchscreen problems were improved using SGS screen booster which allowed me to adjust sensitivity, etc.

I don't like having battery percentage in the statusbar because then I'm always like "OMG I've only got 30%left, gotta charge" and that eventually makes me look for a charger more often

It should be under:
Statusbar tweaks > Battery settings
Then the check mark is call "Battery percent text". If you only want the percent with no icon, then set the icon to none.

So this is an added feature of gravitybox? I must admit I was not greatly interested in the app itself, presumably it still needs to sit in the background all the while I want to see the battery percentage in the status bar?
Any other suggestions? I know I can wade through Play Store and find *something* but you cannot beat a personal recommendation can you?

What do you mean is it an added feature? It's one minor option among loads of options within lots of menus. Just look through every menu and turn on/off things as you like, from beginning to end, and then you won't be confused about features.
GravityBox is an amazing module and I've noticed no difference in battery life since installing it. It's always quietly running in the background from the moment you boot (just like many stock/core system apps) and adds a plethora of options and extra features. Many people, including myself, stopped using custom roms like ParanoidAndroid and Cyanogenmod and OAKP just because GravityBox has most of their features and is easy to install/use on nearly anything.

+1 on that. ExposedFramework, GravityBox and some Candy Shop...makes it sweet, On my CleanRom 2.6 imo

The only gravitation I see on Google play store looks like some LWP that reacts to accelerometer inputs, anybody got a link?

You'll have to give waaaay more info. A "turn me on/off" button and a pic of Mila Jovovich holding a gun won't cut it
And I mean not only here, people that find your app through the Play Store probably won't get interested in installing it due to the lack of information given. It will come across as rather shady to most people tbh
Give the people more info and your app might have a chance of making it!
Hahahaha
The app will turn off mobile data, started a few minutes after screen off. and then try to enable data, in incremental delays.
At night (started 0am), data won't be enabled again until 6am.
If you turn on screen, data will be enabled again.
Snapdragon battery guru: not compatible
Using my app, network location is not required

[APP] [4.2] [ROOT & No ROOT] [Launcher] SOS Ultra Power Saver Launcher

I would like to share my app with you. I can share the app with one person to test the app for me on Moto G. Please send me a PM
The app link on the playstore is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webzler.soslauncher
Description
This is a homescreen replacement that has an Ultra Power Saving Mode for your phone to help you extend battery life when you are running out of charge. This launcher allows up-to 4 apps on the home-screen.
What this app does:
1. Kills all running apps and services.
2. Disables WiFi, Data.
3. Shows Missed Calls and Missed Messages.
Ultra Power Saving Mode:
4. OLED Mode for AMOLED devices.
5. Changes governor to Powersave mode. (requires ROOT Access)
6. Disables 2 cores of a Quad core phone. (requires ROOT Access)
7. Reboot during exit. (requires ROOT Access)
When your phone goes below 15% battery, the app shows alert to clear the defaults for your current launcher. After clearing, set SOS Launcher as the default homescreen, and the app would take care of the battery. Once you quit the app, it would clear itself as the default launcher and you can start using your favorite launcher back.
I will surely give it a try
Thanks for sharing, will give a try too

Sounds like a Novel Idea. I definitely see some great Potential here. FWIW, Launchers with small footprint would be a great place to save Battery. This is why even today [APP] Zeam Launcher has lots of takers. Perhaps you can take that code as your baseline since the project is closed.
Two points I see as potential issues.
You can't Kill all the apps to save Battery. This is not Windoz and it doesn't work that way. You will chew up more battery as the apps initiate a new session. There are way too many discussions around XDA on Task Killers. Suffice it to say that OOM RE-Prioritization is a better way.
Shutting down core and changing Governors is a splendid idea. But that would actually assume the kernel in question actually supports that governor and has HotPlugging enabled ? On that note, Frequency throttling might be an idea.
Please can someone just attach the APK file?

What can you do after your rooted pixel 2xl on 8.1

I want to root my pixel 2xl but I did not find any good reasons for it. I want Xposed so bad but it doesn't support 8.0 yet, other then that I don't know what good apps for it. I have nexus 4 a few years ago but I move to iPhone for 2 years and just back to Pixel 2xl. It is a very good phone, much better and friendly.
Here's a good earlier discussion thread. Twrp is now official and Magisk Root is available if you have reasons for flashing...

Well do yourself a favor and unlock the bootloader now which will wipe your data from the phone. This is now a two step process you can read about in the "unlock and root" guides. This will save you from having to wipe your phone later when you find a good reason to root. I run very few root apps, but ad blocking is top of the list. I also use Titanium Backup regularly. Root has been very stable lately, and there are several modules available from within Magisk that maybe you should read up on. Welcome back to the Community. :good:
My sole reason for rooting is to add the below command to the bottom of my build.prop in order to disable the nav bar system wide and use Pie Control (Play Store Link) for my navigation needs.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
How about just because? LOL. The majority of users that root, are the people who like to tinker and are tech-savvy. I use for ad blocker, Greenify, titanium backup (because it's the best), occasionally modifying system settings, etc...I look at it as almost having administrative rights on MY system. Who would use a Windows PC as a standard user?

Yeah, I had that issue and didn't like it. Enabling full immersive mode within Settings is another option to disable the nav bar but it breaks squeeze for assistant functionality. Editing the build.prop essentially just tells the system that the phone has built in hardware nav keys.
Then you can use an app like the one I mentioned in my above post to have pop out navigation functionality.
I've attached a few screenshots of my setup. Essentially, the nav bar doesn't exist on the home screen or in any apps until I swipe up from the bottom of the screen or wipe left from the right edge of the screen to pop the nav keys out. This setup has worked flawlessly for me since I got the phone nearly 2 months ago. I love it.
Awesome thanks. Yeah that's how I made mine. Simple just the 3 buttons. I didn't even realize that active edge still worked! But wow am I loving the full screen. These pie controls are amazing.

[APP] All in One Gestures

Really a great gestures app to mimic iOS gestures. I use the navigation gestures option because I could not deal with the navigation bar not matching my keyboard. The gestures work pretty well and I got used to them, but I did not like the Back option. Too many times trying to go back ended up with me opening recents or going home.
I really wanted a gesture to swipe the screen from left to right to go back and this app allows me to. Works great with a few customization options. It was removed from the playstore but the apk can still be sideloaded
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/ys-liang/all-in-one-gestures-2/all-in-one-gestures-2-5-9-release/
Thanks for sharing. IMHO The OnePlus gestures are the best I've tried on any phone. The more options there are, the better off we are.
Thanks for sharing, I love the Swype from the left to go back feature
Hey Guys, if you wan't, you can also try an app called 'Fooview', which is available in playstore (No need Root access) and its amazing, you can set the swipe option from right to left for back in this app as well. it also comes with a browser, file manager, and allow to take screen short of any specified portion on your screen. It will also help to convert the 'letters' in an image to edit/copy. The main advantage is it work with very less battery drain and comes with small in size. this is one of the best app I have ever used. and I'm using this for the last 2 Years. Just try it, it is amazing.

There are many apps which get through the checks. Check the news, you'll find many articles about google removing app from the play store every now and then.
Even a seemingly trustworthy app can do a lot of harm. Even if the app is a bit sketchy its better to stay away from it.

It will also help to convert the 'letters' in an image to edit/copy. The main advantage is it work with very less battery drain and comes with small in size. this is one of the best app I have ever used. and I'm using this for the last 2 Years. Just try it, it is amazing.

I agree. I've tried damn near all the gesture apps but I keep going back to fooview. It's like 20 apps in one with an abundance of gesture options.

Thanks for sharing. IMHO The OnePlus gestures are the best I've tried on any phone. The more options there are, the better off we are.

I find the navbar gestures severely lacking. Swipe from left or right edge up for back? On which planet? Ever tried this swipe on Chrome with a longish text loaded? All you get is a scroll back and not back. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the directions. How difficult is it to add a graphic to illustrate?
