1st post please be gentle

hello all, looks like i am going to enjoy this site very informative.
anyway i am a new htc desire owner (iphone convert) and have as yet not found out everything about the phone.
little things like the market search, is there away to remove/clear previous searches from the list?
are there any real must have apps that should be on the desire by default but are not? i did notice there was no default "note pad" or did i miss that
thanks in advance

Hi welcome to the comunity, as far as clearing your market search history you may want to try history eraser its free on the market and cleans ur market search history and much more and as for must have apps. Theres so many i wouldnt know where to start lol i think you can use quick office as a notepad app btw

I wouldn't be so brave to name must-haves, cuz don't know what is you use your phone for. But can give you the apps which stayed on my Des (and I really tried and uninstalled a lot):
- TuneWiki for medai play
- the weather channel (love the widget)
- kindle
... thats all. For all the other functions I still use the bundle apps.
(very specific, but worth to mention: World of Warcraft authenticator. Its very easy to install and use, free, and despite of this you still get your pet )

Dang thats a long list,,, having converted back myself i wonder how i lived so long without Google Goggles caught it on an advert the other day and thought 'It's a must!'

For file management and maintenance I recomend Es Explorer and Es Task Manager

To clear your market search history just open up the market, press menu (hard key), settings, clear search history.
Done.

Titanium backup, my backup root, go sms pro, file expert, jota text editor, poweramp

What are your favorite apps on your GN ?

Subsonic - stream music from your computer to phone (like it better than GM)
PocketCloud - log in to your PC remotely
Dolphin Mini - fast, lightweight browser

Stock Browser - Best mobile browser experience I've ever had.
Baconreader - Reddit
Pulse - Awesome news
Dropbox - Used for a LOT of stuff
TED Air - For when I have nothing to do and feel like watching something interesting.

Titanium Backup - this app has saved my bacon more than once
MyBackup Pro - because it worked better at importing my old phone's bookmarks
Root Explorer - if you get one root app, make it this one
Autostarts - The real way to control app startups (and not a task killer)
Notification Toggle - works great on the GN and it's free. I was missing the CM 7.1 notification widget until I got this app
ezPDF Reader - a no brainer during the 10 cent discount days
DICE Player - the best HW accelerated media player, hands down.
Terminal Emulator - no explanation necessary
Lightflow - why they didnt include this LED functionality built into ICS is beyond me. I just wish Lightflow was a little less buggy.

TitaniumBackup - A must need for all rooters/crackflashers.
Root Explorer - Best File Manager hands down.. UI looks VERY nice in ICS.
DICE Player - Plays any videos thrown at it. 720p mkvs plays fine. No decoding needed.
CPU Spy - Ability to see your phone's state in each GHz (or sleeping mode). Debugging battery drains.
TweetDeck - View all facebook statuses/tweets all in one. [Wish it had a makeover on its UI but its doable]

What apps do you all use frequently? Includes my list

Long story short - I'm looking for suggestions/lists of what apps do you find essential on your tablet or phone. Please be very basic! Assume I don't know about it if I don't mention it in my list.
Looking for apps that solve these problems:
Basic tablet info app - cpu and information
Cleaning app (maybe SD maid?)
Good mp3 music player app I can't seem to find one that I like - I love Winamp for/on my pc - I need one that also has a skip back 10-30 seconds - one that acts like smart audiobook player
Good podcast app - one that acts like smart audiobook player I just love the features of that app (easy to use, auto rewind, lets me look at my library, simple interface, "just works")
Good browser - not chrome (evil), one that does not crash with lots of tabs open, like Firefox for desktops
Adblocker - I'm trying Adaway
Firewall - the one I used to use doesn't work now
App to let me play videos on a screen - I've heard about casting apps and use but I don't know if it really works well or not, and if you need TV that works with it. Maybe there is some plug in dongle you can get to make this work?
Essential magisk modules - I'm very new to this, I just have @ianmacd 's recommended fixes so far
Busybox? - is there a good version to get?
Xprivacy - I need to see if this is still a good app to use, it was nice on my tablet - if not I need to find a replacement
YouTube? - I just use YT in dolphin browser because the app never made sense to me, is using the app a good idea or
Notes - app to write notes that automatically saves (Samsung notes does not do this)
Grocery list app - that will also work with my wife's iPhone
dark mode for Oreo - (supposedly in pie) or a theme for the tab S4 that just works?
Video player - for my own files like saved YouTube videos
Email app for my AOL account - I used to use k-9 but that stopped working for me - I haven't found a replacement I am looking at bluemail but haven't tried it yet
Apps I've heard about but never tried:
Any suggestions for getting them or not?
Tasker - not sure what people use this for
Substraum
MS 365 for Android due to unknown problems I don't have this automatically installed
Dropbox - is the app worth it or should I just use it in a browser?
Something cool, a cool app, lol, but seriously what do you think is just cool
My list of apps I utilize frequently
Dolphin browser - best I've used for Android but it crashes frequently with a lot of tabs open. My wife's iPad can open limitless tabs without crashing. Sigh, I really don't like Apple.
SwiftKey
Tweetings for Twitter - I like it, but you can't save videos from it.
Quickpic - I haven't seen a better android picture viewer
ComicRack - paid version - love this for comics
LMT - the BEST launcher/one hand phone tool. Kills me I can't get it on my phone (note 9 unrooted)
Smart audiobook player - paid version - absolutely the best
FBReader - paid version, absolute best
Titanium backup
TWRP
Magisk - I'm new to this but it's cool
Pocket tanks
Zarchiver - I can't live without it
NextRadio
Diskuasge
Greenify
My phone explorer client
Standard apps I use - are there better apps for these?
All Samsung
Phone
Messages
Calendar - I need a video on how to use calendar for my family and then make everyone do that
Email - for work email
Long story/explanation
I'm just getting back to rooted android and tablet use after almost 4 years of not using a rooted phone and my old tablet unusable because I need to preserve it for imaging so I can get my son's baby pictures.
I started phones, only land lines, then relic flip phone, with a Samsung galaxy S4. I rooted it and loved it until it died. Got unrootable Verizon Note 9 last year and have felt like I've been castrated and jailed. I got a Note Pro 12.2 tablet in 2014 which was great but it crashed and I had to reset it (I was lazy and didn't backup in TWRP) and lost my son's birth and first Christmas pics, so I had to abandon it because I haven't had time to image it and then forensically carve for the pictures.
I feel like I don't recognize much anymore and would be grateful for suggestions.
Also if there is another forum which would be better for me to ask for help in, I would love to get suggestions on where that would be.
Thank you for reading, and your kind suggestions.
Sincerely - I really appreciate it.

Looking for apps that solve these problems:
Basic tablet info app - cpu and information - - CPUZ
Cleaning app - - SD Maid, Google Files
Good mp3 music player app - - Pulsar HD, but I don't know if it skips
Good podcast app - - Podcast Addict
Good browser - - Firefox Beta (you can sync to your desktop), Puffin, Chrome Beta. Sometimes Chrome just works best.
Adblocker - I use specific adblocker plug-ins or apps for browser was appropriate
App to let me play videos on a screen - - VLC Player
Video player - - VLC Player, MX Player Pro
YouTube? - - YouTube App
Notes - app to write notes that automatically saves (Samsung notes does not do this)
Email app for my AOL account - Outlook, Nine, Gmail, Samsung Mail - all can be set up for multiple email accounts
Dropbox - is the app worth it or should I just use it in a browser? - - Use Solid Explorer or other file browser and link to your cloud storage
E-reader - - I think Moon+ Reader is better than FBReader, but I use both; Color Dict + downloaded stardict dictionaries
Microsoft Office but needs 360 account, Google's versions will work for free
White Noise Pro
Walmart (pharmacy), Amazon for Tablets,
Pandora
Need Cable Account, but Fox Sports Go (regional sports channels), ESPN Go, other networks
Online Banking - depends on you bank
TVGUIDE app
Local Cinema App
MLB At Bat, NFL App
CamScanner
Flud
Printhand or Printershare
Malwarebytes, Bitdefender Antivirus Free
SwiftKey keyboard
Office Calculator Pro
Microsoft Remote Desktop
Etc etc etc
Adding a couple more...
AccuWeather
Nova Loader
HereWeGo offline maps (can locally store the whole USA)
Google Maps (can only store specific maps locally)
Uber
Skype
F-Stop gallery gives a browseable file tree
Your preferred airline(s) for boarding pssses
With a Tab S4 you can have many hundreds of apps, the key is to use a good loader and organize. I have 5 pages of apps. Homepage has the apps I use most, readers, dictionary, cloud storage, app stores, music players, pod cast, gallery apps, etc. Then I have a page with personal accounts, online & brick & mortar shopping, travel. Page three has sports, streaming video and audio, local video. Page 4 has all games. Page 5 has utilities, cameras, optimizers, etc. Within the pages you organize the icons into groups. I find 5 pages to be manageable. Like having multiple desktop monitors on a PC....

Thank you that's extremely helpful!
I'll try moon again. The last time I used it, I didn't like it, but it's been forever.
I really appreciate you posting your go to list.

I use good lock and one hand operations. Makes using the tablet much nicer imo.

Basic tablet info app - cpu and information - Settings->About
Cleaning app (maybe SD maid?) - Settings->Device Care->Storage
Good mp3 music player app I can't seem to find one that I like - AIMP
Good podcast app - I don't do podcasts
Good browser - Samsung Browser from Play store so far is the best for me even under LineageOS, has Adblock, contrast theme (black background to save AMOLED and battery)
Adblocker - see browser
Firewall - root needed, u can configure your router for anything, inlcuding adblocking
App to let me play videos on a screen - MX Player, any app which allows Casting
Essential magisk modules - root needed, I don't see much benefit given no custom ROMs
Busybox? - latest, free
Xprivacy - N/A
YouTube? - Youtube Vanced on xda
Notes - should be tonns of those in Playstore
Grocery list app - again
dark mode for Oreo - get Pie upgrade and use night mode
Video player - MX Player
Email app for my AOL account - comes with Email app in OS
Apps I've heard about but never tried:
Any suggestions for getting them or not?
Tasker - say, regular nightly reboots
Substraum - themes, but the choice of thems, and permissions they ask is ridiculous
MS 365 for Android use SmartOffice for doc,xls, ppt
Dropbox - app should be worth it if u use Dropbox, I don't share my files with some random cloud provider.
Something cool Waze for navigation
My list of apps I utilize frequently
Dolphin browser - worst browser, use Samsung
SwiftKey - nothing wrong with stock keyboard
Tweetings for Twitter - I use browser for all my social media, apps do unusual bad things.
Quickpic - Gallery and Google Photos are fine
ComicRack - paid version - N/A
LMT - I like Nova Launcher
Smart audiobook player - paid version - if u say so
FBReader - paid version, Coolreader is free
Titanium backup - agree
TWRP - it is not an app
Magisk - I'm new to this but it's cool, I'm opposed to rooting without ROMs
Zarchiver - I can't live without it - it is OK
NextRadio - OS comes with Radio client
Diskuasge - Setting->DeviceCare
Greenify - I'm opposed to rooting without ROMs, free Greenify has limited functionality, Samsung OS now does the same things in battery saving mode
My phone explorer client - Amaze File Explorer for me
Phone and Messages - try using Signal if u care about ur privacy
Calendar - I use Smooth Calendar for its widget
Email - for work email

So MX Player vs VLC player:
I like MX Player's ability to zoom video using screen gestures. But I've had limited success casting to a Chromecast. It only got the feature a shirt time ago, and virtually everything I try to cast doesn't work with chromecast. I've never had issues casting local files with VLC Player.
