Being new to Android, I'm just wondering what everyone has installed on their Aria. ^_^
IMDb, xda, engadget, unit converter, flashlight, Facebook. I've installed plenty big others but those are the ones I use on a daily basis so far.
Sent from my HTC Aria
I have almost the same, Google Sky Map is a must have. The IMDB app is awesome!
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
pandora, no-lock, pong time, dog whistle, shazam, the weather channel, xda, flashlight, google goggles, google skymap, shopper.
no-lock is great for just the optic push to wake-up
advanced task killer,astro file manager, audio manager,battery status pro,handcent sms, history eraser, pandora, palringo, shazaam,silent boot,spare parts, startup cleaner 2.0,tts extender, unistaller, louder volume hack,better keyboard.................lol..thats it
Abduction, Advanced Task Killer*, Android LightSaber, Bank of America, Basic Instructions, Blow Up, BreakTheBlock, Bump, doubleTwist, Engadget, fring, Google Goggles, GolfLogix, Google Sky Map, IMDb, Layar, Movies, Nesoid Lite, Pandora, Quadrant Standard, Quickoffice*, ScoreCenter, Shazam*, The Weather Channel, TV Listings*, xda*
Starred apps are highly recommended. I haven't actually tested doubleTwist (a music app that integrates with iTunes), so I can't comment on its usability.
Handcent, Swype, Shazam, Last.fm, Google Goggles, ShopSavvy, Locale
Locale's my favorite, saves me tons of battery. It'll adjust itself either by location or time. You can adjust the brightness, change ringtones and wallpapers. For me, I have one for my house, so when I get home, it automatically connects to my WiFi network, turns the brightness down to 20% and turns my ringer to full volume. Great for someone at work too. Although the app is at $9.99, it saves me lots of battery.
Currently, this is my list of installed:
Find It : The Simpsons

I've installed Falling Ball and Labryinth Lite. They're not bad.
Definitely the best game I've come across is Bonsai Blast.
Seeking suggestions on some good widgets/apps. My interests are social networking, music, ..the norm.
Also, what do you guys think about the "Twitter for HTC Sense" widget vs. the "Touiteur"?
For music services try pandora or slacker. For players, poweramp, mixzing, or meridian. For song id shazam.
Some people like Foursquare.

Double twist is a good music player and tweetdeck is good for social networking
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
PowerAMP is the best for music players. Hands down. I bought the full version today - the trial is full-featured but expires after a while.
I use Peep (the HTC twitter widget) but I don't do any tweeting I just follow stuff and check up on it a few times a day. Definitely get Handcent; it's a great SMS replacement app that is really customizable. My favorite is getting it to split messages after 160 characters by word, so there's no word being cut off, and you dont get an annoying message from Verizon about how you can't send over 160 characters to carriers other than Verizon like you do with the stock app.
For web browsing, I'd pick up Dolphin HD. I like it better htan the stock one because I can exit out of it and end the process - for a while I was having problems with the stock browser getting my phone hot and using CPU while I wasn't using it.
Definitely get Appbrain. Then:
On Appbrain, you can install an app called Car Home released by Google. It replaces the (awful) stock "Car Panel." Add it to your phone from the web site and then install it from the application and open the Car Panel app and choose Car Home. It's much more customizable and it doesn't use GPS all the time whenever it's open.
Obviously, get Angry Birds.
Good Morning is an alarm app that I like. It starts playing music and then tells you the time, day, weather, and if you purchase it, your calendar appointments for the day. Get the free version and then upgrade if you want multiple alarms and the calendar appointments.
Hope this helps enjoy your phone.

Great list! I found that you and I have many of the same. Some that I might add though...

-Dazzle Widget or Extended Controls - gives you the functionality of toggling sound, display, GPS, bluetooth, Airplane Mode, etc. from one 1x4 widget. (I purchased Extended Controls but Dazzle is probably just as good for free)
If you are rooted...
Root Explorer (by far the best money I ever spent on an app, especially if you're into modding)

Ringdroid to turn your songs into ringtones very easily.
Taptalk for forums.
Wireless tether for hotspot.
Google sky map still amazes me.
Live holdem greatest online poker game on android.
Lookout mobile security in case some jackass steals your phone.

Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS4.
adw.launcher and adwnotify - I like adw better and adwnotify gives me the unread count wherever the icon is.
handcent sms for texts - top notch app
angry birds for waiting in lines
Astro file manager
dropbox (easiest way ever to get things to your phone)
autostarts - this lets me control what starts on startup, so i can do things like make the random games that i play once a week not start up every time i boot the phone.
barcode scanner
dolphin browser - yay tabs!
Touchdown/exchange for my work email (yes, i know they can remote wipe it if they want....since i wipe the whole thing myself every couple of weeks to play with a new rom, that hardly matters.)
appbrain
lookout mobile security or threat aware (trying this one out)
mahjong
pandora
robo defense
springpad (awesome note taking app that syncs to the web)
trap! (annoying awesome game)
U.S. Army Survival Guide (in case of zombie apocalypse)
XDA
Y5 Battery Saver (turns off wifi unless you are in range of a remembered wifi hot spot)
Two that I wish worked better are:
Widget Locker (as stated above - can be laggy and flakey - replaces the lock screen but lets you put whatever you want on it.)
ICE - In Case of Emergency (also replaces lock screen, but force closes on 2.2 a LOT)
Some apps I haven't seen mentioned, For humor, try
Fml, epic fails, demotivational posters, daily comic strip
For shopping, amazon, best buy.
For in the car, I just ordered a blueant s4, which has app that goes it that will read texts to you, allow for navigation to be read via Bluetooth, and announce callers and give option to answer or not. Haven't got it yet, don't know how well it works.
Is car home gone guys?

I'm guessing all of these require you to "root" the phone or modify it in some way? I modify desktop computers all the time but not really familiar with mobile phones...lots of reading for me to do, hopefully I get myself up to par!
BTW I have no data, just WIFI!

Exactly, once you root look out because no matter how great the rom your running is you'll still want to checkout the latest & greatest. If you do decide to root you'll definitely want these apps.

VLC S&C
gStrings
iMap Weather (spot on, and never runs in the background)
Traffic Widget
Inserty and/or Clipper
*Quick Addroid (get the Pro version) I open this most often, works for anything you have to remember, great for tracking medications, smokes, diet, times your Ex.... whatever, in case you want to keep track....
Business Calendar or Touch Calendar (I hear Gemini is good if you like it, too)
Extensive Notes or NoteEverything
Smart Keyboard or Ultra Keyboard (Smart runs a bit cleaner, but it's not quite as cute/customizeable) - they both allow voice input right from the keyboard, swipe entry, and a recognizable layout
Ringdroid
Car Home from Market, but it needs a clock
Simple Audio Manager - it's so tiny and useful I almost forgot it
Right now I like Seesmic, but you'll likely troll around for the right Social app(s) for you.
I am also heavily dependent on Google Voice and am very happy with Handcent for SMS (so I know who I'm texting by what color their bubble is. Trust me, it's worth it.)
And yes, as a matter of fact, I do spend way too much time checking out apps, and all of these developers have been great with me, and I'm a pest.
Once you get a handle on things, if you want to automate volume/connectivity, I strongly recommend Tasker. I tried Locale, and a bunch of other schedulers, auto-text reply apps, call filters, power managers, but Tasker replaced all of them, and just the way I like it.
EDIT: Blast those background apps. I recommend SMSBackup+, too. Backs up your call log to your calendar.
pulse reader - this one is the best!

Dear All,
I am starting this thread just to learn about the most useful apps (free+paid) from Android Play Store we all are using with small reviews (your experiences) of them on Galaxy note.So that people can get a good idea before spending money.

dr. ketan, I think desh_iit device is not rooted, as he mentioned on his thread.
desh_iit, if you want to feel more on the android application, first, you have to root your device first.
Most of the good application, especially "tools" application, need a rooted device.
The 2 applications mentioned by dr.ketan, need a rooted device also.
I have bought lots of apps. I know many of these are available free pirated but I do think the developers deserve our money if they spend so much time & energy on apps we enjoy....
My bought Apps :-
Final Fantasy 3
PicFolio for Picasa HD - (Best Picasa app)
Perfectly Clear for Android
Silhouette Live Wallpaper
IP Cam Viewer Pro - (Best app for viewing your webcams)

PicFrame
2Do: To do List (Bought it but never used it as it didn't do what I wanted)
Handy Scanner Pro (Best scanning app)
Dead Space
Camera Zoom FX
Unlock with Wifi - (Very useful app)
Quell - (Beautiful mind-twister game. Great music score too)
TouchRetouch
Grand Theft Auto 3 (Bought it because of nostalgia)
ezPDF Reader (Got it for 10cents but I prefer using the Amazon PDF reader)
Paper Camera
Beautiful Widgets (Dont use it)
Great Little War Game (thought it was multiplayer but wasn't)
JuiceDefender Ultimate (useless app.)
LogMeIn Ignition - (use it a lot to connect to all my PC's)
Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro (need to use it)
Carcassone (waste of my money)
Tapatalk Forum App (use it a lot)
Aquarium Live Wallpaper
UniWar HD (great game, haven't got around learning it)
PicSay Pro (best photo editing app ever!!)

World Newspapers
Office Calculator (Free)

I found the thread useful because it showed me apps that other people using my same device found useful. Play store can't sort by that. If there's policy violation in specific posts, report those, not the entire thread.
I have created two major thread and both are stickies.with highest viewership and both thread i have mentioned there titanium backup and mobile odin pro, now it won't b surprised if someone demand to.close those thread too.

I found the thread useful because it showed me apps that other people using my same device found useful. Play store can't sort by that. If there's policy violation in specific posts, report those, not the entire thread.

dr. ketan, I think desh_iit device is not rooted, as he mentioned on his thread.
desh_iit, if you want to feel more on the android application, first, you have to root your device first.
Most of the good application, especially "tools" application, need a rooted device.
The 2 applications mentioned by dr.ketan, need a rooted device also.

Thank you for the suggestion. I was rooted before but since I got 4.04 I reflashed the stock ROM.
Just to avoid brick bug and I used titanium back up in xperia and Acer iconia as well. Rite now I am just enjoying the Samsung Stock Rom with TSF.
Is there any widget that shows androids data usage (only from setting, not app's own counter )?

Try Redswirl theme on TSF. You will be delighted.

Thank you a lot. ..I like it and going to purchase
The best way to stumble upon an interesting app is to see what other folks are using. Using the app "List my apps" linked at the bottom of this list and using the "bbcode" option inside it I generated the following list of apps which are installed on my Idol 3. In most cases the link will take you directly to the app no matter where it came from...some will kick you to a google search which should find them fairly easily as well. Many of the pay apps have free versions available. Feel free to reply back with YOUR list of apps and if you find an interesting app from someone's post hit the thanks button to let them know! I look forward to seeing what some of you use. List my apps is open source and available on both F-Droid and Google Play.

Thanks for the reply. Please consider using list my apps so it will provide links for folks. I personally prefer Moon Reader Pro over Aldiko especially since I use the text to speech option to have it read ebooks as audiobooks in the car with the IVONA Amy UK tts voice. I use es file explorer over solid explorer(I'm not fond of apps that provide crippled free versions or in this case "14 day trial software") and Servicely (written by francisco franco if you recognize the name) as an alternate to Greenify that may interest you. Did you mean "Convertpad?"

Servicely is very good app and of course I know Sir Francisco with his famous Franco kernel but somehow Greenify in boost mode (need root and Xposed) works better (at least for me) because you can still received all notification from apps without the apps awaken.
Also you can use Greenify together with Nova launcher to add DT2S+greenified apps. You just double tap the home screen to put the phone in sleep + greenified all running apps.
Ahh.. yes, it's convertpad. It's the easiest to use multi-converter

Btw, do you know Xposed module to make battery circle icon and remove carrier name in lock screen that works for Idol 5.5?
Among those I use (not including a bunch of widely used apps):
Action Launcher 3 - Minimalistic launcher that gives me what I want and doesn't include a bunch of things I generally don't use. I like having one home screen with a minimum of clutter. This optimizes that preference with some unique features.
AdAway
AppDialer Pro - Number/QWERTY keypad that "dials up" whatever installed app (and, optionally, contact) you want. Its useful widget does the same.
Draft - Dropbox friendly, searchable notes app that seems abandoned by the dev. I'd like a better alternative, but I don't know that there is one that specifically matches my usage. I prefer this to something like Evernote for privacy reasons, not that Dropbox is ideal.
ES File Explorer - I use Solid Explorer, too, but this does more. Its FTP server is an approach I often use to transfer files onto the device from a computer.
Ghostery Browser - Gives the same shield from tracking and such that the Chrome extension does on a computer.
GMD Gestures - Adds a layer of usability to my minimalistic approach. On a larger screen, like a tablet or even a Nexus 6, I don't use it as much. Still, this is a major part of my user experience, one of the first things I install.
Javelin - Good, clean, alternative browser with popup feature
JotterPad - Stylish, non-programming, writing oriented text editor.
Link Bubble - Popup browser. Javelin does this, too, but I like Link Bubble's implementation a little better.
MessagEase - Out of the ordinary keyboard that offers all sorts of features that most don't (keyboard shortcuts/macros, forward delete, easy access to special characters, pretty much every functionality you'd ever find in a keyboard). Takes getting used to, but I use it more than any other.
Minuum Keyboard - Sort of like Fleksy, but I find it more usable. It was my main keyboard for awhile, but I haven't used it much, lately.
Moon+ Reader - Another staple, well tended to by its dev. By far my favorite book reader. I stopped even thinking about the rest long ago.
Music Folder Player Full - Simple, straight forward music player. Old school approach. Direct and to the point. Once in awhile, I'll try one of the flashy ones, but find that their "features" are no more than eye candy to me and delete them.
Pocket - Read articles saved from websites.
Popup Widget - I don't use this all that often, but it's very helpful when I want it. I don't want widgets permanently on my screen that I rarely use. This allows me to tap an icon or execute a gesture (via GMS) to popup a widget when I want it temporarily (weather, calendars, etc.)
Titanium Backup
TweetCaster
Viper4Android - Sound quality enhancement that I didn't realize how much I needed until I tried it.
Wallpaper Saver - Great for getting wallpaper from ROMs, launchers, wherever. Though I find that I tend to prefer wallpaper from sources other than those places.
I've used and liked both Greenify and Servicely, too. I also like Recently and bought it.

This looks like you used list my apps but didn't save it as bb code (share it to email and email to yourself)....the bbcode would contain links to the apps your mentioning whether they are on f-droid, amazon appstore or google play...I mention this to make it easier on others as for example some of the apps I use are xda only version and it uses a google search which should take the user to them. I have not seen a need for "recently" as I use a combination of the built in "recents" and my most popularly used apps in notification area via the app "Hanger". See Screenshot.
In place of Action Launcher 3 I'd probably use Lucid Launcher (Pro) which is what I use on my devices with less memory. (http://www.xda-developers.com/lucid-launcher-a-unique-launcher-made-from-scratch/)
Instead of dropbox you may prefer syncthing which is an opensource alternative to bittorrent sync...I use it to keep folders in sync between my pc and my phone unless you actually have a need to access your files from the net somewhere via dropbox. You actually have viper4android installed on your idol 3? I'm assuming you flashed the zip...and disabled the built in JBL audio enhancements? Does it strictly work on headphones or improve sound on the speakers as well? (I used it a long time ago).
why is this thread in idol3 forum? it has to be in main forum, because it has nothing to do with idol3

Practically every device has a thread with "favorite apps to use on my xxx device" so no it doesn't HAVE to be in the main forum. Among my apps are a list of xposed modules that work on our specific version of lolipop...thats pretty relevent. Apps that work around quirks such as reboot manager which gives us "reboot to bootloader and reboot to recovery" from in the rom are very idol specific. Rootcloak can be used to make the system update checker work..thats pretty relevant and why it's in bold among the other bug fix modules.
If you must, report it to a mod and they can decide where it goes.
no apps you are listing are device specific .. reboot manager is not idol specific... Almost none device with stock rom have reboot to bootloader or recovery option.
and anyway here is subforum called "Onetouch Idol 3 Themes and Apps" (where you allready started many dead threads), so i think its better to move it there.

I didn't use any app to list the ones I mentioned. I just used the forum's list format. I'll try and get to doing it as you would like so that the links will be there for those who might want them.
I've played around some with SyncThing and more secure alternatives to the usual cloud storage. The problem in the case of my notes is that they're synched to my Mac, too, and the program I use there is close to perfect for how I use it. And it won't sync to my own server or some of the more secure public ones. But I may migrate in those directions at some point. I'd just need to find an another Mac program that would work for me.
I didn't install V4A on the Idol 3. I put it on my Nexus 6. V4A addresses sound quality on the phone speakers, ear buds/headsets and bluetooth speakers. USB connected speakers, too. It doesn't do anything for phone call audio. It takes some playing around to get it right, a process I'm still in the midst of. But the difference is striking compared to the stock audio processing, at least when I've got it configured to my comfort. I don't know what would happen on the Idol 3. Disabling the JBL audio would be wise if you play around with JBL. As you know well, you'll want a good backup in case you want to dump V4A and restore a good working JBL. But maybe the JBL processing compares favorably.

It sure would be nice if you were as diligent about policing your own threads as you are about policing mine. The mod's don't agree with you. I was told general conversation like this belongs in general. Discussing installing viper4android on the idol3 is idol 3 specific. Instead of pretending to be a mod how about responding to the 5 day old request for posting @petrov.0's corrected TWRP link to the 1st post of your twrp thread?
Now I'm going to stop responding to you...report it to the mod's and Mod's if you agree this is the appropriate location for general discussion of apps to be used on the idol then please remove his posts AND my replies so this thread can stay on topic.

There was another user interested in running viper4android on the idol 3...I may get around to making a backup and trying to install it to see how it does on the idol 3. I use the speakers to play music when travelling and it's got great sound/volume already in my opinion but always willing to try options. I use syncthing to backup my TWRP and Titaniumbackup folders among others.....if you set your titaniumbackup to run on a schedule it keeps pretty well in sync. You will have to either patch your platform.xml to see that syncthing has full rights to write to the external sdcard or use an xposed module to accomplish the same thing.
Hmm I guess I should add xposed module "Sticky Location Icon Fix [LP]" to the list..It stops the location icon from always showing up in notification bar even when location is not being used. The dev released it "yesterday" since it's now after midnight even in pacific time.

The V4A installation is pretty quick and easy. It's what becomes of the JBL stuff that is the potential greater issue. But, there's always that backup. I found the speakers on the Idol 3 to be one of its surprise nice features, too. I had no quarrel with the sound as is. But I didn't on the N6, either.
A couple of other apps that I use: Smart Unlock and Simple Reboot. The former has been covered here, IIRC. I used to use Llama (sort of like Tasker) to perform the same thing and it worked great for a couple of years. But it became problematic. On my wife's phone, she actually got completely locked out at one point. We almost had to wipe it clean and start over again. Smart Unlock and Lollipop's similar functionality are an adequate, if inferior substitute to when Llama worked right. Simple Reboot is Franco's implementation of a common feature set — a boot menu that'll allow you to reboot to recovery, bootloader, etc.
