your 10 favorite applications , you can't live without

I was going to stick to 10 but after looking through my app list - I couldn't. In no particular order these are the apps that while are not necessarily the ones I use the most so much as the ones I love telling people about:

Screebl
Bring
Focus
Google Keep
OneNote
MyCar Locator
Muzei
Nova Launcher
Open Comic Reader
Google Opinion Rewards
Pocket
ScanPet
SwiftKey
Unified Remote
WiFi QR Generator
PhonoGraph
SyncThing
Magnifier
 
My 10 apps are as follows:
1. most frequent : Facebook & messenger
2. google photo
3. Fox news
4. gmail
5. B612 - Selfie
6. Super AppLock
7. Clean Master
8. Tasker
9. Amazon
10. Walmart
 
1.) Google Play Music/Blackplayer Music - Music is life GPM when I like looking on white background and BPM when I want to feel manly.
2.) GMail - Actually thinking of jumping to Aqua but haven't gotten the time to switch yet
3.) Zen Launcher - I just like the vertical app drawer
4.) MultiLing Keyboard - I'm paranoid and this is the only keyboard app that can be heavily customized without having internet permission
5.) Tinfoil for Facebook - Still paranoid
6.) AutoScreenOnOff - Actually used this on my old phone when I broke the power button just installed it to my new devices since I'd gotten so used to it.
7.) FBReader/WPS Office - My go to document reader
8.) MXPlayer - I just like this more than VLC
9. ) Sonic Dash - I have a lot of games(most are RPGs) but find myself playing this most of the time while commuting
10.) Potion Maker - A game I played on its early days and just don't feel right if its not on my any current device even though I rarely open it anymore.

How do you like Lumen Vs Twilight?
Click to expand...
I prefer Lumen, as it actually changes the display color temperature rather than just applying a flat red filter overlay.

Without root, it does still essentially apply an overlay filter, but it's still "warmer" rather than just being "redder".

With root, it does it at the kernel level without using an overlay, which looks a lot better.

Interesting. I'll have to check it out. I'm a long time twilight user. It definitely is just a plain ole red filter. Unfortunately, I don't have root so won't get that true kernel level filter.

Thanks!
 
Don't really have a top ten but I will give my 5 most valuable.

1. Root Explorer performs various functions

2. Photo Editor for png editing

3. SuperSU stuck without freedom without it

4. GT Recovery for deleted file recovery

5. TWRP while not an app per se it is probably the most essential thing on any of my droids


all of these to me are as important as any of the others.
 
1. Nova Launcher (Paid version)
2. PowerAMP (Paid version)
3. Google Keep
4. WhatsApp
5. Clash of Clans!
6. Samsung Pay
7. feedly
8. drupe Contacts & Dialer
9. MailWise
10. Sunrise Calender


Here are my top 10!
 
Aside from built-in productivity apps, following are my most used in rough order of importance. All of the following are free:
  1. Llama- Automates tasks so that, for example, if your phone detects your car Bluetooth and if it is charging, then launch Waze GPS and your music player app. If at church (or at night), then silence ringer. Etc.
  2. Waze- GPS/Navigation with real-time traffic-based rerouting and cop/hazard warnings.
  3. Our Groceries- Shared (family) shopping & to-do lists.
  4. IHeartRadio- Music streaming.
  5. WatchESPN- Free streaming of live sports and other ESPN content.
  6. Xfinity TV Go or Dish Anywhere- TV/DVR streaming (if you have Comcast cable or Dish satellite).
  7. GasBuddy- Find the cheapest gas near you.
  8. ES File Explorer- File/folder/network management (Swiss army knife).
  9. Playlist Backup- Converts my PC's Windows Media Player playlists to Android playlists.
  10. Google Handwriting Keyboard- Hand-write on your screen for note-taking.

Some great apps not listed above because they require hardware:
  • Chamberlain MyQ: Let's me remotely open, close & monitor my garage door through ~$95 MyQ hardware.
  • Honeywell Total Connect: Let's me remotely adjust and monitor my homes' ~$88 WiFi thermostats.
  • Torque: Let's me read/fix/clear my car's diagnostic lights through with a ~$14 Bluetooth OBDII dongle.
  • Chromecast: Stream videos from your phone (or the Internet) to your TV via a ~$27 Chromecast dongle.

Yeah I don't really recommend Gravity Screen, that thing eats battery like there is no tomorrow and have so many features that I don't really care about and on the other hand AutoScreenOnOff simply do what you want it to do, plain and simple.

Wow, I've never experienced any battery draining from Gravity and I've been using it for over one year. Go figure...

I used Gravity Screen for a while when I first broke my old phone's power button and every time I woke up there was at least 5-7% reduction on my phone's battery while none on AutoScreenOn/Off when I switched, I'm not gonna say that it drains battery if I didn't experience it. Its probably how I setup my settings though but I cannot be bother now since AS does it job without all the hectic settings of GS.

and to add to what Thom pointed out you should also stay away from any RAM and Battery managing apps. They don't do anything other than the opposite of what they are advertised.
