Must have Apps for Rooted or Non Rooted N7

[DonB]

Must have apps for your N7, I will keep this thread updated when someone post a good app, I will separate for rooted and non rooted, so if there are duplicate post on the apps, does not matter as I will always try to keep the first post updated with the additions. If I forget to add your app or missed it, send me a PM with the post and I will add it. I will not describe what each apps are for, instead I will simple put it as a link to the Play store, so if the name does not explain it, you can click on the link and read up on it. I know there are similar post, but I want to keep this one updated and all together, I will also add it in the sticky thread in the ATR section, so if there goes a few days without any post it will be easy to find.

Tapatalk is basically the only app I use.
Highly recommend SwiftKey as well.

I don't have the Nexus 7 but I imagine Nova Launcher and Beautiful Widgets are atop a lot of lists

Added even though you don't have a N7,

Nova Launcher is very good on the N7.

As for rooted apps, Titanium of course. I mean, always, yes?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..

And Quick Boot. Always Quick Boot!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5zaXJpdXNhcHBsaWNhdGlvbnMucXVpY2tib290Il0.

Not as much needed for a tablet I think but indispensable nonetheless, Screebl (no root needed):

Another vote for Screebl Lite.

One that I personally wouldn't do without, but probably a majority of others couldn't care less about, is Torque. (I'm not suggesting it go on the list)

Besides being able to read vehicle fault codes it gives me access to all sorts of readings that I don't have gauges for, like transmission coolant, engine oil and engine coolant temperatures, battery voltage, MPG, miles to empty, ambient air temperature and a ton of other stuff. All wirelessly using an inexpensive bluetooth OBD2 scan tool you can get on Amazon.

HD Widgets w/ the High Res pack!!! Quickboot & the camera launcher, I dont need as I run CM10 or ParanoidAndroid. I prefer Root Explorer over ES. I will have to check Screebl out.

OK added and edited

Just added another one that works good, Zello Walkie Talkie

Added BSPlayer to the list.

My vote's for Nexus Media Importer (if you have a $0.69 OTG cable and some USB flash drives). You can increase your storage without being rooted. Other than that, I recommend Dropbox (not rooted), MX Video Player (not rooted - works better than Gallery player), and Power Toggles (not rooted).

I think for rooted devices, custom recovery is a must. CWM 6.01 touch or TWRP 2.

Non Rooted:
Loving Chameleon for a launcher
Xscope for the best browser by far - flash install could not have been easier
PowerSwitch if you have a cover
SketchBook Pro
