What are your top 10 apps you can't live without? Here's a new video where I share some of mine and I invited my friend Kevin The Tech Ninja to share some of his too. If you enjoyed the video let me know by hitting that like button!
What's with the "I'd like to see iOS do that, hehehe!" comments? I mean, I have a Nexus 5, and before that I had an iPhone. Clearly, in my opinion, Android is a superior product, but are we still in the "mine's better than yours era"? Come on, lets rise above all that noise. P.S. Really enjoyed the video. I had been looking for AppDialer for 2 months now, after losing it and forgetting its name. Thumbs up.
There are still annoying Apple fans that refuse objectivity when it comes to their phone. Apple is STILL locking their users into rigid infrastructure. I have a locked phone and I'm exponentially more productive on my Note 3 than I am any iPhone_x user. I mean come on they just got keyboard choice in the last update. It's not a matter of rising above. It's a necessary "challenge" that needs to be made because there are still people out there making uninformed choices. You should hear my break room at work. All of these little changes add up to such an improvement in productivity and efficiency that it's gotta be said. When Apple steps up their game with support for consumer choice, THEN it will all be in the past.
I want to add an honorary mention to FolderSync. This app deserves so much more attention than it gets. Backing up your files from whatever folder of your choice to whatever cloud storage (which they are all linked together) of your choice to whatever folder of your choice at what ever time of your choice is unparalleled, especially considering the fact that it also acts as a plugin for Tasker and, no other app does it as well as this one. Truly a godson of an app.
I'm a little late to this party, but I'll add my top 5 apps anyway. (In no particular order as well) Lux Dash - Fine control of your device's brightness Cerberus - Device Tracking, location, etc. Action Launcher 3 - (IMHO) One of, if not *THE* best 3rd party launchers available to date (a hat tip to Dan Tallant for introducing me to this) MediSafe Meds & Pill Reminder - For those, like me, who forget to take their meds. Pocket Casts - (IMHO) Simply the best podcast player available in the Play Store (a hat tip to Andrew Gorgi for introducing me to this) UPDATE: Alpha v2 of Xposed Framework for Lollipop is now available as of this reply. It appears to work pretty well with the Nexus 6!
Great list ***** and Kevin Nether . I wouldn't disagree with any on that list. Kind of surprised that Pushbullet didn't even make the top 10. It's probably my personal most used app especially when I'm at work all day on my computer. Great colab video. Fan of both of your channels.
My top 10 favorite apps? that is a good question, lest see: 1. Dash Clock: I no longer need a watch hanging on my hand and, also, I no longer need an alarm clock next to my bed. 2. Chrome: To browse the internet. 3. Maps: this is my GPS. I no longer have problems finding places. 4. 2048: great game, for those times where I can't do nothing but wait. Doesn't eat much battery or memory. 5. Guitar Tuna: I know people can tune guitars by ear, but I can't. 6. Drive: I no longer need to worried on the memory of the phone, I can also access the files from the PC. 7. Wells Fargo: I can deposit checks by taking pictures and much more. 8. Calculator: Minimal design, and simple to use. 9. Soduko: Another great game. 10. Nova launcher with Min Icons, love the minimalist and clean look of this.
I am heavy user of apps... i have been using all the apps mentioned above.. but there are few more apps that one must have since everyone face issues regarding battery life and Memory: 1. Greenify - For battery saving, Its an app that puts all other apps into hibernation.. hence save a lot of battery extending it for 2-days on standby 2. Folder Mount - Requires Root, But works well when you neet to save heavy file data to your sd card. 3. Disk Digger Pro - Allows one to recover all the deleted images, videos, documents etc, incase someone messesup with your phone. 4. SideSync - This is basically for only Samsung Phone users, allowing you to control your phone from PC, and can play your phone music via WIFi into your computer 5. Airdroid - People Take lot of time to connect USB and transfer a big files, Hence This allows you to quicky drag n drop/Download files of all kind from/into your phone over WiFi. 6. Uninstall - This an app that allows you to remove all the Pre-Installed apps(Basically which normally cannot be uninstalled) but this would also require your phone to be Rooted. 7. AdAway - This app allows you to block all the ads on all the apps that you have installed on the phone. This app is not available in the Playstore yet, but you can still get the APK file. 8. AfterFocus Pro - If you are fan of taking pictures having a blurry effect of DSLR camera, this app can be helpful. Its not a camera app, but its a Picture Editor app allowing you to give your background a blurry effect with other effects as well. This app requires purchase, but you can get apk file from google. 9. CamScanner - If you want to scan a document and you dont have a scanner, Just click the picture and you can get a clear scanned picture within seconds, anytime, anywhere. 10. MX Player - Best video player i have when it comes to easy touch access to brightness, volume control and rewind/forwarding video just by dragging finger across screen 11. Shareit - For transferring large files from one phone to another, if one does not have a Wifi Direct in phone. Its the best app for it.
Evolve SMS is my messaging app of choice by far. It looks great, highly customizable, and has many extra functions. Swapps because it allows me to have quick access to any app I want from any screen with a simple gesture. Web Video Caster is far from perfect, but it's functional. It essentially allows you to cast any embedded video on a web site to your Chromecast. So if the site or service doesn't have native support to cast, then this app pretty much solves this issue.
I admit mine are different than most, but here they are: 1. Big Road (logbook) 2. Solaris (links in with Space Weather) 3. NOAA Pro (weather) 4. eWeather (I use the widgets of pressure trends, alerts, ect) 5. Estate Golden Hour (for planing photos)
My must have app is MovieAid. If you are into making and posting YouTub vids this is the app you must get. The full version allows you to make and edit full productions. You can seemlessly join sceens together. Or transition from one sceen to another with many customized effects. You can speed up or slow down the transition time. Add background music and adjust its volume etc... Add customizable captions to your video or pictures that you can have floating anywhere on the screen during your video. You can trim or rotate your video to any orientation. You can even adjust movie width, height, and frame rate. My favorite part of all is the customer service. I had trouble a couple of times and they responded to my emails right away to fix the problem. Other apps I've had, and had to contact the developers, just left me hanging. Anyhow I'll get off my soap box now.
1) Tasker - without this app. you will not have a smart phone! 2) Overlay Launcher - that gives you accessibility to your apps, widgets, shortcuts etc. from any open window/app. very easily. 3) Simple Calender widget - a scrollable widget that you can easily view upcoming events wtih lots of customization options such as making bold/colored today events etc. 4) Secrets - thats a good way to keep your secrets, passwords, documents in an app. which has no icon (disguised in a phone call). You can launch it only by calling a user defined phone number which also may ask additional pin code to open then. 5) handyCalc - only if you need a real calculator, maybe you are an engineer, huh?! 5*) Shazam - Ok, if you do not need such calculator but need an app. to find the name of the playing music, this is just for you.
My top 10: 1. Link Bubble/Tappath 2. IFTTT - The simplest and nicest looking automation app there is 3. Line Launcher - Doesn't have too many features, but has a ton of amazing themes 4. Pushbullet/Portal 5. Pocket 6. Pintasking - Basically like Link Bubble for apps 7. Kodi (Specifically Genesis for Kodi) - Has super up to date movies and television shows in HD 8. Textra - Easy to use, has group chats, and the heads up quick reply is the best 9. Piktures - A beautiful and easy to use gallery replacement 10. Photomath - For those pesky math problems I don't know how to answer
My Top Apps: Swipepad - swipe to your favourite apps from anywhere. And even better with the plug-in More space which allows multiple swipe pads SwiftKey - Swype like keyboard with themes Jump Desktop - Like Teamviewer but better Copy bubble - a hovering clipboard (can be hidden) Pushbullet - Share content across your phones and desktops Dropbox - Backup your photos or any type of media and files
MacroDroid is a great one. Similar to Tasker, but simpler and free (although the free version limits you to 5 macros). Set triggers, actions to perform when the trigger(s) occur, and optional constraint conditions that must be met for the macro to run.
My top Ten, (not counting social networks) :) 1 - Nova Launcher Prime (the first thing I have to install on my devices) 2 - ES File Explorer (tried other file managers but I'm just used to it... I also love the download function) 3 - Javelin Browser (love the bubble to avoid the full browser and the ad-block option) 4 - Drive (keeping every work synchronized between pc, laptop, phone and tablet) 5 - VSCO Cam (I actually have 38 photomanipulation apps installed at the moment, but this is the simpler and the best xD) 6 - Hangout (can't understand why everyone uses whatsapp or telegram, it works good for me) 7 - SleepBot (the only way I can force myself to go to sleep) 8 - Flipboard (during breakfast together with Instagram) 9 - Snap Camera (but now I am waiting for Lollipop on my OPO to have Manual Camera ^^") 10 - OvuView (blood every month, I'm a girl, yay! ._. )
I mountain bike and while there are quite a view popular track apps I like Viewranger gps because it actually has multiple downloadable maps that display offroad trails for free.
my favourite eh? Splashtop streamer is life TeamViewer but far more, it gives you full touch screen support and there's even a gaming version which lets you set up keys on screen for your PC games. also an app called allcast that lets you and stream devices like Chromecast and the Amazon fire stick, also there's a companion app which acts as another device to stream media to
i like these types of videos. other tech channels are over flooding youtube with unboxings and reviews... these types of videos are unique in sense and should yield higher views
My first 5 mostly used apps for today (on my smartphone): 1. Solid Explorer 2. ConvertIt! 3. SafeInCloud 4. PowerAmp 5. Spotify ..but also: Google Translate, Tasks, CZcams, Smart AudioBook Player, Titanium Backup ..and there is more ;)
Best calendar app: aCalendar Best productivity app: TickTick Best email app: CloudMagic Best Podcast app: Player FM Best Driving App: Waze I love and use all of the apps daily.
Titanium backup, xposed framework, nova prime, tasker and Quickpic, which is a fantastic, smooth and function packed gallery app in the stead of the laggy sammy gallery on my note 3. I learned tasker from your videos Armando Ferreira, so thanks for the great content!
App T9? Try gesture search. I have it bound to long pressing menu (my device (Samsung N7105) has physical buttons), and I use it all the time. Hell, I use it so much I've even given it its own lockscreen target!
instead of using the t9 launcher you can use the google search bar to launch for apps that you have installed on your phone. my favourite apps are Whatsapp Fenix for twitter nin type keyboard GravityBox Reddit news Es File Explorer Pushbullet Emoji switcher
It has been quite a while since I've opened CZcams or your channel. As always, it's never disappointing. There are very few people whom I open CZcams for. One among them being you. Thank you for this list, will certainly try out the new ones that I've learned today. Link Bubble & Tap Path are now on my wishlist. My top 10 apps are - 1. Pocket 2. Lastpass 3. Snapseed 4. XBMC Remote for my RPi 5. IF 6. Unified Remote Control 7. ConnectBot 8. Lazy Swipe 9. ES File Explorer 10. AcDisplay I'm curious if Plex would work between my Android & RPi. Maybe you ought to make a video of apps that could go well with Raspberry Pi or Banana Pi. Cheers!
AutoRemote+AutoInput+IFTTT combined. Whenever you post a video, IFTTT tells Tasker which uses AutoRemote to start playing it on my PC. If the PC is off but I am home, it uses AutoInput to launch it on Chromecast. If the Chromecast fails or is in use, it turns on the screen of an old android I keep perched on my desk and plays it. If I am not home it stores the URL on a stack and waits until I am home.
My 'Can't live without' Android Apps list coincides a lot with your list, Armando. #1. Tasker - Much automation, so wow! Cant do without!! x-) #2. Plex for Android #3. ES File Explorer - My file manager of choice. #4. Sony Walkman - The best music player especially if you are using a Sony Xperia Z series device. #5. Any.do - My life would be a mess without it!
Also Restasker because it enables PHP bodies and simplifies API calls. You can also use it make a custom AI like Siri or Google Now for your phone. If Tasker does not match any of my patterns, it passes my speech to my bot on personalityforge.com, grabs the response and then speaks it with tts. Or you can just use one of the many botids already created. I personally like to have Widgets that take voice, ask Axureon the wizard, snd speaks the response. Good fun.
AutoGuard Dash Cam found on the Play Store. Dashcam app with a lot of features it even can auto upload to CZcams. Would have been better if my phone has an SD card but its still great! Especially if you have whacky drivers around you!
I have been waiting and waiting for Xposed just so I can get back GravityBox, that was just an amazing module, my apps: Tasker, Cheapcast, Dropbox, Franco Kernel, Pebble, TeamViewer, Remote Desktop by Google, Pushbullet, Plex, Send Anywhere
Armando Ferreira, for remote access to all my computers I have and the ones I support I use Splashtop. That is the first app I install on my Tablet and smart phone. I think it is better on an android device than Teamviewer, don't get me wrong I use Teamviewer also but from My Mac or PC.
Good god yes! I needed so many of these apps that you mentioned, most of them I didn't know existed. Especially Titanium backup. Shit yes, so glad to have subscribed to your channel. Ps: Xposed is out for Lollipop! :D (even though its a custom recovery install but still!)
I will personal congratulate the person who tells me how many times the "tech ninja" guy says "application". But seriously it was like, application, application, application, application, and application. He is just to cool to say app.
My top ten 1. Titanium backup 2. Nova Laucher prime 3. Ac display 4. Xposed framework 5. Es file explorer 6. Zip me 7 Xposed wake gestures 8. Multi ROM 9. Zarchiver 10.disk usage
Yatse: If you use it for the right reasons (just watching your content on any device) it makes plex obsolete. Ability to cast to kodi or any other devices (makes allcast a bit useless i guess) Nova laucher: Sorry @kevinthetechninja if you use the swipe shortcuts on the home screen, you would rarely use the t9 search. Tasker by far is just android gold, but I wish I knew how to program really advanced functions almost like a personal assistant lol Finally I'll have to add showbox because it's just great.
Is there an app that lets you do the reverse of Team Viewer? (Controlling your phone on your PC) I know AirDroid, but I'm talking about literally sharing and controlling the screen and all aspect of you phone, not just some features...
The remote controll app for your computer by7 the kind of use you say you give ist such as "When im away from home and i need to connect to my cmputer" it means you have a setrver always open thus creating a massive security hole, i hope you dont have anything important in your computer.
Man top 10, I will give you two 1. LMT Launcher 2.Power Amp 3.swiftkey keyboard I don't know why Google haven't yet added that too android but I think LMT is best implementation of navigation on mobile. Poweramp would be by far the best music player, if only it could support streaming music. The sound quality and options is unmatchable. SwiftKey is THE BEST KEYBOARD there ever been. I speak three languages, and texting had never been this fun. It auto switch between language and the auto correct! Omg
I'm not hardcore with the bells and whistle's, but being that I just did a reset and firmware upgrade yesterday it's a good time to chip in. In no particular order.... - Swype Always the first app I install since 3 phones ago on my Xperia x10. I simply can not go back to tapping since this option was made available, and the little features make it the best swipe function keyboard by far. I just wish the developers would stop messing around and get a dedicated number row already. - Widgetsoid (thanks Armando for this one). Easy accessibility is a must and the notification bar is brilliant) - BeyondPod/PowerAmp my daily music and news fix. I use PowerAmp as the external player. - Wave Launcher With my phone not yet rooted, this app allows for easy accessibility from any screen or any activity to any app, without the nuisance of flipping through the app drawer. However, the look of the wave is quite horrendous imo. - CM Browser and security apps. Lightweight and speedy loading. Although, I am getting more drawn to chrome due to the nice 'swipe between tabs' feature. - PushBullet Probably my favorite app at the moment. From home, work wherever. Linking stuff with all of my devices is an absolute breeze. I'm really liking the look of 'Link Bubble' and 'TapPath'. I will definitely be checking these two out.
Quantumfarts I'm aware of that. I just feel that the little extras that are available with the 'Swype' app make it much much better. Features such as, Swype key to a, x, c, v, 5/t for the select all, cut, copy, paste and number pad, respectively; are very convenient. The stock version is pretty much the same as before, but you can now swipe. Basically, it's about the shortcuts that eliminate the need to keep switching layouts just for a one key function. Just my humble opinion.
Giocool32 I've tried SwiftKey a number of times. It's a very close second for me. Especially since it has the number row. Unfortunately, and as mentioned above, the shortcuts available with Swype just make the overall useability much more fluent. SwiftKey does feel a bit more well structured though, but all Swype needs imo is that number row and it's perfect.
For me there is just one that didn 't made the list and it should have been on it ... How did you leave out Airdroid?? Great video though as always :-) cheers from Portugal :-)
You guys just crapped all over my self esteem. Out of 20 "can't live without" apps, I only have 1 installed. I'm going to send you guys my therapy bills for the next 6 months.
ok my top 5 are: plex (entertainment) spotify (music, playlists, discover music) papyrus (for university) flipboard (news) musicxmatch (global lyrics and local music)
What are your top 10 apps you can't live without? Here's a new video where I share some of mine and I invited my friend Kevin The Tech Ninja to share some of his too. If you enjoyed the video let me know by hitting that like button!
Awesome. My apps include LocalCast, Mizuu, Nova Launcher, MyCloudPlayer and Tasker with all of João Dias' plug-ins
Adarsh Parameswaran Nice list, very hard to narrow it down to 10. Well, in my case it was 5 and Kevin share his 5.
Tasker, link bubble, Dropbox, Es file explorer, fotmob, Franco kernel updater, magic jack, pocket, Netflix, Zooper widget pro...Etc
Kemar Aiken Dropbox is up there too!
Love the new bumper & skin combo, *****.
What's with the "I'd like to see iOS do that, hehehe!" comments? I mean, I have a Nexus 5, and before that I had an iPhone.

When Apple steps up their game with support for consumer choice, THEN it will all be in the past.
Matthew Robinson android is way better than i phones but i still rather my i phone it just feels nicer to me
Erald Ylli Give it a rest, Gandhi. They're just trash-talking phones, they're not chopping off each other's heads.
redlightmax Iphone owners just miss the days when they have been smelling their own farts with a wide smug.
I want to add an honorary mention to FolderSync. This app deserves so much more attention than it gets. Backing up your files from whatever folder of your choice to whatever cloud storage (which they are all linked together) of your choice to whatever folder of your choice at what ever time of your choice is unparalleled, especially considering the fact that it also acts as a plugin for Tasker and, no other app does it as well as this one. Truly a godson of an app.
I'm a little late to this party, but I'll add my top 5 apps anyway.
(In no particular order as well)
Lux Dash - Fine control of your device's brightness
Cerberus - Device Tracking, location, etc.
Action Launcher 3 - (IMHO) One of, if not *THE* best 3rd party launchers available to date (a hat tip to Dan Tallant for introducing me to this)
MediSafe Meds & Pill Reminder - For those, like me, who forget to take their meds.
Pocket Casts - (IMHO) Simply the best podcast player available in the Play Store (a hat tip to Andrew Gorgi for introducing me to this)
UPDATE: Alpha v2 of Xposed Framework for Lollipop is now available as of this reply. It appears to work pretty well with the Nexus 6!
Great list ***** and Kevin Nether . I wouldn't disagree with any on that list. Kind of surprised that Pushbullet didn't even make the top 10. It's probably my personal most used app especially when I'm at work all day on my computer. Great colab video. Fan of both of your channels.
U should checkout quick pic app
Dude. Come on. The videos have not lived up to the awesomeness you've once done like tasker apps and their capabilites. We want more home automation.
Those are coming! :) Working on a lot of big projects which will allow me to focus more on my content, stay tuned!
My top 10 favorite apps? that is a good question, lest see:
1. Dash Clock: I no longer need a watch hanging on my hand and, also, I no longer need an alarm clock next to my bed.

My favorite apps are Clean Master, Pocket, Google Camera, Timely, Google Fit, Flipboard & Send Anywhere just to name a few.
my favourite eh? Splashtop streamer is life TeamViewer but far more, it gives you full touch screen support and there's even a gaming version which lets you set up keys on screen for your PC games.
also an app called allcast that lets you and stream devices like Chromecast and the Amazon fire stick, also there's a companion app which acts as another device to stream media to
i like these types of videos. other tech channels are over flooding youtube with unboxings and reviews... these types of videos are unique in sense and should yield higher views
My first 5 mostly used apps for today (on my smartphone):
1. Solid Explorer
2. ConvertIt!
3. SafeInCloud
4. PowerAmp
5. Spotify
..but also:
Google Translate, Tasks, CZcams, Smart AudioBook Player, Titanium Backup
..and there is more ;)
Yup Tasker is the best, because of you showing the potentially of what a real smart phones can do with Tasker, I can not leave Android. So thank you 🙇
Very nice list Armando, I would like to add pushbullet
Wow, getting Tappath. Already a big Link Bubble user.
Best calendar app: aCalendar
Best productivity app: TickTick
Best email app: CloudMagic
Best Podcast app: Player FM
Best Driving App: Waze
I love and use all of the apps daily.
1. Timeriffic, 2. KS uninstaller, 3. Data Sync, 4.My paid apps, 5.ES file explorer, 6. Simple reboot, 7. Six axis controller, 8.Stick mount, 9.Time alarm and 10. Staylit wear.
Titanium backup, xposed framework, nova prime, tasker and Quickpic, which is a fantastic, smooth and function packed gallery app in the stead of the laggy sammy gallery on my note 3.
I learned tasker from your videos Armando Ferreira, so thanks for the great content!
App T9? Try gesture search. I have it bound to long pressing menu (my device (Samsung N7105) has physical buttons), and I use it all the time. Hell, I use it so much I've even given it its own lockscreen target!
loved that Apple burn moment around 1:45. haha . Subscribed.
Here is my top 5.
1. Evernote
2. Swiftkey Keyboard
3. Pushbullet
4. Wunderlist
5. GetPocket
+Mohammed Anzil
the only one who mentioned swiftkey. kudos man, tht is actually one app tht i cant live without on my phn.
darkangelriq SwiftKey Keyboard is great...
Thanks man I just tried and bought Solid File Explorer, best app ever!!!!!!
Hi Armando,
My Top 7 android apps are:
1. ES File Explorer.
2. Teamviewer.
3. Winamp. (because of the lockscreen control, play/pause.)
4. Skype.
5. Yatse.
6. Unified Remote.
7. Inssider.
IMHO if you use Link bubble/TapPath you need to be using the other as well. They are by the same dev and compliment each other nicely.
instead of using the t9 launcher you can use the google search bar to launch for apps that you have installed on your phone.
my favourite apps are
Whatsapp
Fenix for twitter
nin type keyboard
GravityBox
Reddit news
Es File Explorer
Pushbullet
Emoji switcher
1) Droidwall
2) BoxCryptor Classic
3) Authy
4) Blaucloud (OwnCloud client)
5) Transdrone
6) LastPass
7) Nova Launcher
8) JuiceSSH
9) Feedly
10) TeamViewer
Armando Ferreira seeing u use the Nexus 6 has made me purchase one and iam loving it thanks for review awesome video by an AWESOME GUY
It has been quite a while since I've opened CZcams or your channel. As always, it's never disappointing. There are very few people whom I open CZcams for. One among them being you. Thank you for this list, will certainly try out the new ones that I've learned today. Link Bubble & Tap Path are now on my wishlist.
My top 10 apps are -
1. Pocket
2. Lastpass
3. Snapseed
4. XBMC Remote for my RPi
5. IF
6. Unified Remote Control
7. ConnectBot
8. Lazy Swipe
9. ES File Explorer
10. AcDisplay
I'm curious if Plex would work between my Android & RPi. Maybe you ought to make a video of apps that could go well with Raspberry Pi or Banana Pi. Cheers!
This is one of the best top ten apps video that i have ever seen!! Big up!
AutoRemote+AutoInput+IFTTT combined. Whenever you post a video, IFTTT tells Tasker which uses AutoRemote to start playing it on my PC. If the PC is off but I am home, it uses AutoInput to launch it on Chromecast. If the Chromecast fails or is in use, it turns on the screen of an old android I keep perched on my desk and plays it. If I am not home it stores the URL on a stack and waits until I am home.
Yatse for Kodi, SwiftKey, ViPER4Android, Evernote and FX File Explorer.
My favo is Greenify, Pocket, PowerAmp, Es file explorer, titanium Backup, Nova launcher, Link Bubble, Viper 4 Android etc
What case are you using on your Nexus 6? Looks wicked!
My 'Can't live without' Android Apps list coincides a lot with your list, Armando.
#1. Tasker - Much automation, so wow! Cant do without!! x-)
#2. Plex for Android
#3. ES File Explorer - My file manager of choice.
#4. Sony Walkman - The best music player especially if you are using a Sony Xperia Z series device.
#5. Any.do - My life would be a mess without it!
Also Restasker because it enables PHP bodies and simplifies API calls. You can also use it make a custom AI like Siri or Google Now for your phone. If Tasker does not match any of my patterns, it passes my speech to my bot on personalityforge.com, grabs the response and then speaks it with tts. Or you can just use one of the many botids already created. I personally like to have Widgets that take voice, ask Axureon the wizard, snd speaks the response. Good fun.
AutoGuard Dash Cam found on the Play Store.
Dashcam app with a lot of features it even can auto upload to CZcams.
Would have been better if my phone has an SD card but its still great! Especially if you have whacky drivers around you!
- DB Navigator (app to find bus and train lines in germany)
- ROM Manager
- myENIGMA
- Galaxy Remote
- Goggles
I have been waiting and waiting for Xposed just so I can get back GravityBox, that was just an amazing module, my apps: Tasker, Cheapcast, Dropbox, Franco Kernel, Pebble, TeamViewer, Remote Desktop by Google, Pushbullet, Plex, Send Anywhere
Armando Ferreira, for remote access to all my computers I have and the ones I support I use Splashtop. That is the first app I install on my Tablet and smart phone. I think it is better on an android device than Teamviewer, don't get me wrong I use Teamviewer also but from My Mac or PC.
IFTTT, is one app that beats all the apps in your top 10 list. Surprised it is not even mentioned.
Xposed Framework available in the next few weeks for Lollipop devices!?!? YES!
TrueCaller has to be one of the greatest apps. ever!
Great video!
Good god yes! I needed so many of these apps that you mentioned, most of them I didn't know existed. Especially Titanium backup. Shit yes, so glad to have subscribed to your channel. Ps: Xposed is out for Lollipop! :D (even though its a custom recovery install but still!)
I will personal congratulate the person who tells me how many times the "tech ninja" guy says "application". But seriously it was like, application, application, application, application, and application. He is just to cool to say app.

You didnt even say wtf Tasker does.
+Baleur That's because the video would be 1 hour long hence why I said that I have a dedicated channel for it.
Yatse: If you use it for the right reasons (just watching your content on any device) it makes plex obsolete. Ability to cast to kodi or any other devices (makes allcast a bit useless i guess)
Nova laucher: Sorry @kevinthetechninja if you use the swipe shortcuts on the home screen, you would rarely use the t9 search.
Tasker by far is just android gold, but I wish I knew how to program really advanced functions almost like a personal assistant lol
Finally I'll have to add showbox because it's just great.
Great video as usual!
Thanks for doing this...
If I were to do a top 5 of my most used apps it's probably: Twitter, Google Plus, Hangouts, Link Bubble/TapPath, & ShortPaste.
1. Whatsapp
2. Device Manager
3. Twitch
4. Play Music
5. Photos
I do use Link Bubble,SwiftKey,Pocket,Cloudmagic (Email) ,Swiftkey ,Fenix for Twitter & Whatsapp as often as possible.
Now Im curiouse, what is that you do with Franco Kernel that is so good for the battery? And is there something for others cellphones? Nice video!!
tech ninja keep throwing shade at the IPhone 😂😂😂 #lovedit
Is there an app that lets you do the reverse of Team Viewer? (Controlling your phone on your PC) I know AirDroid, but I'm talking about literally sharing and controlling the screen and all aspect of you phone, not just some features...
That last one was sick af
podcast addict, sofa score, quick pic, water your body, greenify
Nice apps i used most of them. They really good. But i have one question. What nexus case youre using? Looks great.
The remote controll app for your computer by7 the kind of use you say you give ist such as "When im away from home and i need to connect to my cmputer" it means you have a setrver always open thus creating a massive security hole, i hope you dont have anything important in your computer.
I loveeee the look of your Nexus 6...what case do you have?
supertube, I love CZcams and this makes CZcams way better.
Man top 10, I will give you two
1. LMT Launcher
2.Power Amp
3.swiftkey keyboard
I don't know why Google haven't yet added that too android but I think LMT is best implementation of navigation on mobile.
Poweramp would be by far the best music player, if only it could support streaming music. The sound quality and options is unmatchable.
SwiftKey is THE BEST KEYBOARD there ever been. I speak three languages, and texting had never been this fun. It auto switch between language and the auto correct! Omg
webicy Amani that's 3..
Jireh Climaco lol I edited the comments but forgot to update the count.
:)
Great collab! hella-useful apps! haha
Whoa, what's with the "iPhone can't do that" or "Let's see an iPhone do that"? iPhone has that tweak years ago.
1. Feedly
2. Twilight
3. What'sApp
4. Digitally Imported Radio
5. Twitter
Great vid man! Watching you all the way from dubai keep it.. U just got a like and a Subscribe!
I'm not hardcore with the bells and whistle's, but being that I just did a reset and firmware upgrade yesterday it's a good time to chip in.
In no particular order....
- Swype
Always the first app I install since 3 phones ago on my Xperia x10. I simply can not go back to tapping since this option was made available, and the little features make it the best swipe function keyboard by far. I just wish the developers would stop messing around and get a dedicated number row already.
- Widgetsoid
(thanks Armando for this one). Easy accessibility is a must and the notification bar is brilliant)
- BeyondPod/PowerAmp
my daily music and news fix. I use PowerAmp as the external player.
- Wave Launcher
With my phone not yet rooted, this app allows for easy accessibility from any screen or any activity to any app, without the nuisance of flipping through the app drawer. However, the look of the wave is quite horrendous imo.
- CM Browser and security apps.
Lightweight and speedy loading. Although, I am getting more drawn to chrome due to the nice 'swipe between tabs' feature.
- PushBullet
Probably my favorite app at the moment. From home, work wherever. Linking stuff with all of my devices is an absolute breeze.
I'm really liking the look of 'Link Bubble' and 'TapPath'. I will definitely be checking these two out.
Swype is a default android feature now. It has been for a while now.
Why don't you try SwiftKey?? That has a number bar..
Quantumfarts I'm aware of that. I just feel that the little extras that are available with the 'Swype' app make it much much better.
Features such as, Swype key to a, x, c, v, 5/t for the select all, cut, copy, paste and number pad, respectively; are very convenient. The stock version is pretty much the same as before, but you can now swipe. Basically, it's about the shortcuts that eliminate the need to keep switching layouts just for a one key function. Just my humble opinion.
Giocool32 I've tried SwiftKey a number of times. It's a very close second for me. Especially since it has the number row. Unfortunately, and as mentioned above, the shortcuts available with Swype just make the overall useability much more fluent.
SwiftKey does feel a bit more well structured though, but all Swype needs imo is that number row and it's perfect.
Potter tons oh. I didnt know it had that many feature over the default version.
apart from Google apps. Cerberus, camcard, Mightytext, Duolingo and Called notes
What case are you using on your Nexus 6? It looks so cool and I have to have it. Is it a skin and a case or just a case please tell me
For me there is just one that didn 't made the list and it should have been on it ... How did you leave out Airdroid?? Great video though as always :-) cheers from Portugal :-)
You guys just crapped all over my self esteem.
Out of 20 "can't live without" apps, I only have 1 installed. I'm going to send you guys my therapy bills for the next 6 months.
ok my top 5 are:
plex (entertainment)
spotify (music, playlists, discover music)
papyrus (for university)
flipboard (news)
musicxmatch (global lyrics and local music)
انت مبدع باليوتيوب و اتمنى تواصل ♥
Why does it ask me to complete action with and I get a browser ever time I use link bubble? Ninja clicks any link and it just works.
#1 Automagic, #2 BitTorrent Sync, #3 SwipePad, #4 Google Calendar, #5 Google Keep
MY FAVORITE ES FILE MANAGER, ADVANCE TASK MANAGER, APP BACKUP AND RESTORE, RETRIKA, FINGER SECURITY, #SQUARE DROID, iREFF, OG CZcams, PEEL SMART REMOTE, S CONVERTER, PIXLR, VIDEODER.
Team viewer is Wow! So useful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Quick pic,
Quick boot,
Xposed installer with Gravitybox and Greenify.
What skin and case is that? How much thicker does out make the phone?
Dbrand Skin, it's not a case it's a bumper and almost adds no width as it's recessed inside the edges. I posted it a few days ago on G+ goo.gl/Bgus59
