Other than the widgets, you said that it had a ton of other features. Which ones were you referring to?
Some that haven't been mentioned that I use.

Shazam
I've been running Android on my Vogue for almost a year now, and my must-have apps include:

Pandora: Love my Internet Radio!
Reverse Lookup: Gives name, address, even a map link for unknown numbers
Google Voice: I used this to create an additional phone number (free) that allows me to make and receive calls from the second number using my mobile phone. Also has text messaging and Visual Voicemail.
(FYI...Most of the features use your data plan)

*Handcent SMS

Hello everyboy,
It might be nice to add a short description after the programs name to clarify it's purpose? That way people don't have to search the market for the program every time they don't recognize it.
As for the apps, only one new suggestion:
Scrollable news - Scrollable RSS reader widget
Don't want to be a pest, but one of your apps (Applanet to be precise) is an app providing warez (illegal, pirated apps), and as such should NOT be advertised on this forum. Please remove it from your list before mods will see it.

I know this topic is discussed on one or two threads, but they're pretty complex and with one, you need to download an APK Manager tool, which actually wants you to download a torrent downloader first - and my browser says its all virus-ware - and the other was an app called NinjaMorph, gotten off the Play Store (for $5), which looked promising and looked like it was going to work, but when I saved the "project", which recreates the .apk file for the app I want to replace the icon in with a hi-res version, there are no errors, but the .apk file is nowhere to be found, and the icon/app disappears from the app drawer. Going back into Ninjamorph, it still thinks everything is cool. I can open the "existing project" and all that.
So... does ANYONE have a way to simply and easily replace the small icon with a hi-res one? I sent an email to the developer of Ninjamorph, but he didn't respond. Could be a wasted $5.
Thanks!!

Hi all,
As I said above, I would like to know what is your MUST HAVE APPLICATIONS ?. Last time when I did the same on a different phone, I discovered a lot of good app that I missed out, such as Adaway, Droidwall, etc, etc, and I am sure others will benefit from it too,
And as for myself, list below are all the apps that I must have on every Android phone that I possess. On a side note, I am not working for any of them, far from marketing it, just feel the need to share.
1. Adaway - I simply couldn't stand all of the ads, because sometimes they can be way too obtrusive
2. Firewall Plus - I have been using Droid Wall previously, but recently change to Firewall Plus for Droid Wall has never been updated since like 2011.But still, it does the job.
3. Nova Launcher Prime - Stock home just couldn't get the job done for me, And I even think it is a hassle to use. What I love the most about this launcher is their gestures setting. I have set every frequently used app on gestures and opening them never take me more than 2 seconds.
4. Brilliant Quotes - I need a daily motivation, and this piece of app does it flawlessly.
5. Dolphin Browser - Nothing beats it IMO. Smooth browsing experience.
6. MX Player - This one will play anything you throw at it, and it is also the friendliest movie player out there.
7. Kingsoft Office - Miles ahead of the preinstalled office app.
8. Root Browser - EZ File explorer used to be awesome, but since there is no longer root file explorer, it is now become worthless, at least for my kind of use.
9. SMS Scheduler - You know what? I have never forgotten to wish birthdays to my dearest and beloved ones.
10. Soccer Livescores - The name itself tells you what it does.
11. SwiftKey - With this app, I am 100% certain that I type faster on my phone.
12. Titanium Backup - Do I need to elaborate? Without it, what is the point of rooting your phone?
13. Waze - Never get lost. Errr...almost
14. Whatsapp - This is where my friends are. If they change, so will I. For now, this is a must have.
15. Alarm Clock Plus - Nothing wakes me up in the morning, nothing. But not this one, you will definitely get out of your bed. I have set mine to never ever to stop ringing, and even if I want to silence it,there are 10 difficult math questions for me to solve. And after those 10, I am wide awake.
16. Mobicalc Calculator - Stock is just meh at best.
These are all my MUST HAVE APP. What about you? Please do share with all of us here.
Thanks in advance.
Not feeling like writing a wall of text so i'll just post a small list.
Adaway, viper4android, titanium backup, YouTube, rootbrowser, battlelog

You can also download themes by other users or uploud your own one.
Also you can change Launcher Icon and some other modifications.
You can also ''modify'' the Popup with other colours etc.
Just a few that haven't already been mentioned -
Greenify (requires root) - Allows you to hibernate rogue apps that wake up your phone and drain battery.
Clipper - Replaces the default clipboard and allows you to go back multiple times over things that you have copied.
Cerberus - Anti theft software with options to locate, lock, wipe etc. This has been installed on every android device I have had. Paid.
Root Explorer - The original root explorer that was available and I still use years later. Paid, but it was cheap enough and I have had good value from it.
Most of everything else I use has already been mentioned.

I like using VLC player for videos, it's in beta but is still very usable and plays any formats you can throw at it. Also, uTorrent for my torrenting needs* as well as My Class Schedule for timetabling my school subjects for the day.
*: torrenting DOESN'T automatically equate to piracy.

I would normally uninstall all of the so called rogue apps, saves me the trouble(With the special exception for KINGO ROOT)
And I also heard a lot of good things about greenify, what else does it do?, if you don't mind.

It is only for the purpose of stopping apps waking up without your specific permission.
There are some apps that wake the phone up when not needed that are still useful to have around, like Google Maps and Facebook to name 2 that cause wakes on my phone, so it allows you to still have these apps installed without them draining battery.
For more information, check out the developer's thread here on XDA.

See post #50 for a new user-customizable version, RN Menu 2.0!
*Updated to v. 1.1.1--more accurate placement of menu in landscape*
Version 1.2.1 substitutes FastMode2 for NoRefresh.
This app is a toggle which places a small menu directly below the status bar "reading now" button and extends the function of that button. While the app can be used as a stand-alone toggle, it is best used by reassigning the "reading now" button with Nook Touch ModManager to the app. No function is lost, as the first item on the short menu is "reading now". As currently configured, the menu options are:
1. Reading Now (same as original stock button function)
2. Orientation (a landscape/portrait toggle using Rotation Locker)
3. No Refresh
4. Set Cover (which potentially sets the screensaver image to the current book cover)
See screenshot below.
While the app is not user-configurable (maybe some day, probably not) now that I have produced a template to work with it is reasonably easy to customize and I would entertain requests for specific items--assuming I can figure out how to implement them! There have been other approaches to setting a menu in this position, but they have involved modding jars and have been limited to specific firmwares. This app should run on all firmwares and does not require modification of any jar files. If you don't like it, you just uninstall it and it's over and done with. For me, this project has been a proof of concept and I've learned a lot. Maybe an extended power menu is next?
Requirements
--Rotation Locker (attached below) (required for Orientation option)
--No Refresh Toggle (I am running NoRefreshToggle-debug2, but it may not matter--someone can let me know?)
--Root (required for Set Cover option and for menu itself as of v.1.1.1)
--sqlite3 (available in this post where the screensaver option setup is explained in detail)
--As this is a Tasker-generated app (but does not require Tasker to run!) there is a dependency on two library files normally installed with GApps. If you do not have GApps installed on your device, you can still use this app by copying the two attached files into the locations shown below (the xml file is zipped so you can download it rather than view it):
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the app will not install.
---------------------------------------------------
How to use
The best implementation is to reassign the "reading now" button to this app using Nook Touch ModManager. When that is done, tapping on the "reading now" icon will produce the menu and you can make your selection from there. If you inadvertently tap the icon, you can dismiss the menu by tapping again. It's a toggle. Starting with v. 1.1.1, root is required to allow the app to query the current screen orientation. This enables a more accurate placement of the menu in landscape mode.
The screen orientation by default is, of course, Portrait, so the toggle goes immediately to Landscape. Landscape runs as a background service (notification) to lock in the feature since some apps resist the change. Selecting orientation again returns you to Portrait and ends the background service until the next selection. It's also possible to exit Landscape by tapping on the notification. This brings up the three-line menu (invisible text unless you have altered your background image colors). The top option is Portrait.
The first time you select Set Cover you will be asked to allow root access. This part of the app includes shell commands and thus needs root access.
That's it! I'd appreciate bug reports and/or suggestions and welcome requests for customized menus (at least for now!). Enjoy!
@nmyshkin I really appreciate you continuing to develop this wonderful device. Thank you for everything you've done on the NST.
I have a request, if you have time and it's not too much trouble.
1. Reading Now
2. Renate's Temblast Library (which I use as a quick list of what I'm currently reading)
3. Fastmode2
4. Your new USB Audio Toggle

I can do that easily if I know how the library is supposed to work. Is it just sending an intent, starting an app or....?
Also, there's nothing magic about 4 items, so if you want fewer or more, that's doable.
Edit: I've looked at the Library app. Very straightforward tap-and-go. So just let me know if you want any more (or fewer) items and I'll get on it.

Wow! That's awesome! Yeah, I think those four would be awesome!
Could you also make one with
1. Reading Now
2. Renate's Temblast Library
I have bought and rooted many NST's for friends and having just those two options will be very convenient for them... They aren't really techy, so too many options would just confuse them.
That would be useful for them when I make other NST's. I'm planning on making 3 more, so I think that would be great! The one with 4 options on it, I'd be using personally.

These are the apps you're looking for {waves hand vaguely}.
Thanks so much! I'll put it to use and see how it runs. I'm sure it will be great.
It runs great! I have noticed that this theoretically could be used to have a second quicknav menu. You can activate it also by programming one of the side buttons to show/hide it. Great job!
If someone didn't want to run the launcher, this could save them from using it with their most used apps on this.
@nmyshkin ... thanks ... I would be interested in this app, I wanted to have the default 'reading now' on nook reader ... and a customizable option so i can probable configure some other reading apps and their last read book directly opening when the option is invoked ...
Update
_____________
I tried installing your app from OP for 1.2.1 ... but it did not install ... If its not too much trouble can you make one that runs on 1.2.2 and share the same ?
thank.s

The app should run on FW 1.2.2. If you can't install maybe you forgot to copy the two small dependency files?
nmyshkin said:
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Set permissions for both files to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Without these files resident, the app will not install.

Edit: or, did you forget to install Rotation Locker first? Because that app is one of the menu options, it's seen as a dependency and my app will not install if it doesn't see it there.
As I made it, however, the app will not do what you want. It is not programmable by the user. At the time I made it I was just starting out with making apps with Tasker. I suppose it would be possible now to produce an app that is more flexible, but it would not be very user friendly because there is no way to predict what someone might want to do and therefore code would almost certainly need to be sussed out and written in by the user. That doesn't sound like something people would really want. In any case I'm still bogged down in my Dictionary project so.....
If you have a static set of wishes, that would be easier.

Not ready yet, but slowly getting there. The app is complete. Still testing to be sure it won't destroy the NST/G. I have a few more dictionaries to complete.

That's how it is now, but any number of buttons can be added. Do you really want a laundry list?

So you seem to be describing (kinda) my QuickTiles app. Have you looked at it?
Take a look at that (which includes the Nook Clear Screen option and the Glowlight and WiFi controls, but not a file manager option) and see if that would meet your needs. Modules could be added but I did sort of want to keep it to display/mode functions, rather than turning it into a sort of launcher.
After that, confirm your choices for the ReadingNow menu and I'll see what I can come up with. Not sure about the Kindle app opening to the last book, but the info must be somewhere that could be poked at.

that's good to know ... its for NST/NSTG ... I just can't seem to part with this device myself ... and you are developing things for it ... can't get any better than that !

as far as the kindle app and its last read book is concerned, you don't have to dig deep ... when i read a book on kindle and exit out of the app without hitting the back button ... the app will start with the last book open.
The following sequence/order should be good enough for 4 entries ...
1. App Drawer
2. Nook continue to the Last read book and position.
3. Amazon app so that it will direct the user to the amazon app with the last book open.
4. Nook Clear Screen
thanks for all the help ...

Huh. Wonder how/when that happened? Try it again. I uploaded a new copy and downloaded it to test. Worked fine this time.

No problem ... i was able to download that xml file from one of your other threads whose pre-requisite too was to have these very same 2 files to be present on the device.
I opened your RN app and the drop down did open on the top left book icon ... but this opens only one time ... Does one have to reconfigure using NTMM so it opens every time ?

I downloaded and installed the apk (1.1.1) from the first post. It runs fine for me. Did you get and approve the SU prompt?
There's nothing special to be done with NTMM other than assign the app to the "reading now" soft button.
Did you by any chance reinstall over a previous installation when you were having trouble? If so, you need to do a complete uninstall before reinstalling on apps like this with toggles. If the toggle variable has been messed up it will stay that way unless you do a fresh install since installing over an existing app of the same version preserves the data (like the state of the toggle variable).
@nmyshkin ... thanks i figured ... Is it just me or the Nook Book Button app seems to be a little quicker(about 2-3 seconds) quicker than your RN app to show the drop down menu on invocation.
Not sure if its just me and my device or its across the board.
Cheers.

No, it's not just you. I could change it like I did QuickTiles so that it responds more quickly but as I don't use it any longer, I have never revisited it. It would involve an "always on" overlay of the button.
