Favorite App so far.... Developers please see link to Announcements above.

One of the reasons why I bought the Galaxy Note 2 was for the Multi-view window capability. To me that is one major step in the evolution of phone software design. So I can say its one of the nicest tools on a device.

That being said, using the multi-view window feature has an additional benefit that it allows me to compare side by side similar apps to determine which one of the two being compared is best for my needs.

In doing so I decided to compare the twitter apps Tweetings and Falcon Pro.
Backtrack a bit, I used to use Plume but eventually switched to Tweetings. Both are good but Tweetings seems more streamlined and yet capable of doing what I wanted a twitter app to do. But its uncanny way of not keeping where I was in the timeline was really driving me nuts.

So here comes a mention of Falcon Pro on androidcentral. After reading the review, I decided to test it out my self. On its own it seems to be exactly what I want. The icon of the app is really nice looking, but an icon does not make an app. But then it dawned on me to use the Galaxy Notes multi-view window feature and compare them side by side.

While on its own it seemed great, comparing it to tweetings, really blew me away. The interface is slick, looks are pleasing to the eye, and the one thing that has eluded me (not keeping my spot in the timeline) was finally there. Granted there are quite a few features still not in the app, but the developer is quite engaged with his followers/customers and continues to improve the app on a ongoing basis.

Therefore, I have to say, Falcon Pro for Twitter is by far the best twitter app for Android (for my needs).

"Display Brightness" is really cool. You can change the screen brightness by dragging your finger across the notification bar. For those of us not fortunate enough to have a cyanogen mod Rom.

Zooper widgets, I'm kind of having fun with my theming. :p
 
Just found a real nice swiping keyboard, "Kii". Allows almost any theme from Playstore, custom fonts and sizes. My post here with more info in that thread.

edit: another "variety" of this KB. You can change text and key size and colors... very nice swiping keyboard!

Yeah, I really wanted to like SKF since I bought SK a while back, but it doesn't "flow" in too many apps for me (like my favorite browser "Naked"). I like how Kii is totally customizable, even on imported themes.

As far as a file manager- ES File explorer. And being this is only my second post...would it be ok to ask an opinion on another favorite app? If not..I apologize but...Any opinions on Juice Defender? Seems it saves alot of battery but then again I heard some battery saving apps do more harm to battery life. true? false?
 
True, most battery saving apps do more harm than good, but not all. Depends on what they're set up for. Radio control is often handy through app control, varies by phone though.

New app out there, Ctrl+C is just what I have been waiting for, pretty cool.
 
Only way I found to do this, is take a screenshot of the email (if it's on one page). Then you can convert the photo to pdf with a number of apps, I tried "ConvertTopdf Lite" and it worked well. Or email it to yourself if you have a PC, and use "Nitro PDF Creator".

I personally have had great luck with Juice Defender and have purchased JD Ultimate. Noticeable battery improvement.
