Post your favorite apps and/or widgets here!!! - Off-topic

Hi guys! I'm making this thread because I want to be introduced to new apps and widgets that I've never heard about before!
What are your favorite apps and/or widgets and why are they your favorite? What makes them so special to you?
Tell me all about them! Post pics if you want also... I think this will also help you guys learn about more apps and widgets too!

Seems Like a Good Idea.

Favorite game, cut the rope.

Assistant from speaktoit is very good siri like alternative.
I love backgammon from AI foundation.
Tablet remote is a great app if you have 2 Android devices, you can easily control one device with you other Android device, over Bluetooth...
Will add more....

This should really be, in Android themes or Android apps and games.
Off topic is for anything NOT related to phones.
Also, note to everyone:
We don't need ten thousand off topic threads a second.....use search first
Seriously, it's a nice idea but, it doesn't belong in this forum and, I'm sure it, exists in the forums I mentioned above.

Quite right.
There are more suitable places for threads like this (device specific forums as well as the Android general forums), and if you search in them you will find that these threads already exist.

[Q] What music apps do you use?

Just wondering what new music apps are out there. I tried a lot of the "big" music players (poweramp, 3 cubed,mortplayer, meridian, playerpro, winamp ,doubletwist..etc) and i'm kinda bored with them. I would like them to have good features (eq,album art, etc) and and a good ui but that's about it.
Only thing I really use is Google Music, other than that I use deadbeef. Though Winamp is a close second for me.
Like you, I've tried a few music apps here and there, but (not surprisingly) none even come close to what you can do on a computer.
And btw... It doesn't seem like you meant to post this in the Dev section so I'm not going to flame you for that
But you should pm deca or whoever is our mod to get this moved

It's the whole package for me. It has great themes, 5 or 6 different widgets, a custom status bar while playing music, it shows album art as the background on the now playing screen, and a ton of other stuff. It's just really well designed and very fast and smooth on my hero. I've been using it since closed beta.
It's minimalist when you first install it but slap a theme on it (win7 theme is a good free one) and go through the settings to activate the advanced features and you can't beat it. And its newer to the market with a great dev so its gonna get more features in the future.

I got a game that there is not a single clone of it on the market.
Quoridor but with online play like words with friends or wordfeud, where opponents have unlimited time to play a move or a certain daily limit. Also would have chat and multiple games at one at least 2 players but 4 players would be awesome.
Let me know if your interested.

Nexus 7 For The Elderly

An elderly relative of mine shall be getting herself a Nexus 7 tomorrow, which she plans to use mainly for e-Reading plus a bit of media usage in the form of BBC iPlayer. I was looking for an easy-to-use interface for her. Any launcher recommendations or simple customisations to make it just a little bit easier? I am sure she could use it as is, but making it easier so I don't have to teach her so much will be good.
How elderly? Talk back might be nifty. I tried it once, it was annoying as hell though

Instructions are poor. You get a quick startup guide on paper and then have to open the book section to read the user manual. I find it harder to learn about a system when I an constantly flipping from the manual to a page to try out what I was reading.

I was more just on about launchers which would allow her to have a nice, clean UI that isn't too cluttered.
Anyone know of such a launcher?

No problem. The only launcher that might suit your needs would be a heavily customized apex launcher.

Thanks. I can install Apex on my Galaxy Note, so I'll fiddle around and see what I can do on it.
Just empty the desktop from every single icon . Than..
1.on home screen Add icons that this person will use the most e.g BBC iPlayer (not sure bits going to work without flash), chrome, play store and a nice looking clock widget or something
2. Set each other screen with categories e.g one for books where you place the appropriate widgets and icons . One for videos and one for whatever else like notes calendar and other productivity ....
3. Do that person a favour and download some games .. yes games . You'd be surprised how often older people like to play ... ideal games would be mahjong, card games , also things like Bejeweled ,Zuma, scrabble type games
Stock android launcher is good enough trust me you just have to know how to organise it. Also wait for chameleon that might change things

Scouter, multiwindow project

Hi there.
I found on G+ nice project, its called scouter and it let have on phone multiwindow known from touchwiz, now its just a project but if you have 30 sec free time just go http://getscouter.com and log in, it would be awesone have this on ours N4
submitted, waiting for the beta to test it
Meanwhile, i'm using every Halo compatible ROM here... until this comes
Looks pretty slick, a bit more of s tablet project to be honest but could be cool on the Nexus
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Will I be able to run other apps on my phone inside of Scouter?
Unfortunately, no. Scouter modules are specially designed applications, not 'native' apps that come from your phone's app store. That said, a lot of these native apps have versions that function in the Scouter web browser, and we hope companies will eventually develop custom modules for Scouter.

you change rom, you must apply for a new code
Hello everyone,
I've signed up for the beta a few weeks ago and I had the good surprise to receive my code yesterday.
I launched the app but what a disappointment when I realized there wasn't any theme displayed in the app.
After some research it seems linked to dpi or resolution of screen. I tried to change the dpi but no luck.
So did anybody find the good combination to display themes on our razr i?

First of all even if it's FREE, it is forbidden as per Forum rules.
Second, it is one time use only and is linked to your e-mail and your device. Even Your own code will not work if you try it on second device (I tried on my wife's device - not working) Or if you change the Rom

Edit: The reason behind not finding themes was later realized as not keeping the screen in stock DPI. I reverted to stock screen from Expanded Desktop and Pie mode, making themes visible in the app.

Codes are only good for one time use and only on that phone.
This Themer app is essentially an exact copy of Buzz Launcher.
I just got my code and set it up and said "wow, this is an exact copy of Buzz launcher" without the hundreds and hundreds of quality themes. Not sure what to think of this.

Really? So buzz launcher started from a foundation hewn from some of the best designers in Android, was built from a crowdsourced site where people worldwide spend countless hours sharing their original works with the masses, provides detailed tutorials that assist any and all to replicate the same look on countless phones, with little to no monetary benefit, promoting app & widget development, and takes the next logical step in an evolving business model dedicated to the designer and user?
Pray tell, how did you make such a deduction, and upon what facts do you base this assertion?

So instead of buttressing your initial assertion as requested, you resort to backing it up with the self sealing of he whom questions thee is ignorant. And you lug in sarcasm for good measure.
As an aside, My Color Screen has many fine devs that love buzz launcher and rely on it regularly. I have nothing but good things to say about it.
I'd rather do no harm, besmirch none, hoping all the chance to prosper, allowing for choice and the market to ultimately determine what's best.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using inverted blue xda premium
this app is all misaligned on my phone, i'm guessing due to my lower DPI on my rom. It really makes it much harder to get the themes looking like they do in the sample photos. It would be cool if they could add an option to calibrate the theme based on the phone's DPI value
I have the same problem. Every shortcuts get out of place making the themes look pretty awful on my phone.

In my opinion, it's much better than buzz launcher. Buzz launcher requires you to do all the work yourself. You have to separately download widgets, and set them up.
Themer does all of this for you.
