I really like my Sticky Note widget. Works great for when I need to jot something down real quick, and I don't have a pen or paper handy. I have a whole home screen with like 10 of them. Very handy. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile The only way to make it better would be to make it like an actual sticky note, and give me the ability to draw on it, instead of just using the keyboard.

The first thing I install on every Android device is SwiftKey, a fantastic keyboard.
Waze for navigation. Everything else will depend on what you do. Google Drive, Sheets, Docs. MS RDP client. ConnectBot (ssh client). Wifi Analyzer. Podcast Addict if you're into podcasts. SystemPanel Lite is a decent free system monitor. Fast Image Viewer if you work with TIFF files. |

Samsung Note and the Action Memo app is what you seek. |

TASKER
It makes a smartphone into a SMART phone. I use it to do all kinds of shit, mostly control settings on the phone based on conditions (at home, in the car, at work, smartwatch connected, etc). I also use it to interface with my Home Automation system via it's API. It automatically does shit. It is a bit advanced, but it's worth learning about and using. |

Something like that comes included on Motorola phones, based on location, charging or not, wi-fi or not, moving or not, etc, it can start apps, change volumes, turn on / off features to save battery, etc. Motorola calls it "Motorola Actions" on older phones, and "Moto" voice/actions/assist/display on the Turbo phones, where the voice is an on-board voice/gesture/face recognition chip in the Turbo models, so it doesn't send it over the network for interpretation. If you roll the camera in the x axis, it starts the camera, snapping it like a hammer turns on the flashlight (so does dropping it), wave over the phone to silence ringer, etc. those are default, but you can change them to whatever you want. Is that pretty much what Tasker does, or is it more involved? |

Changing the phone settings are just a thin slice of what Tasker can do. |

Thanks everyone! Keep them coming though! What do people think of Pockets Here Greenify Camscanner CamCard Never used any of those. Maybe post a list of what you are most interested in and/or generally do for work and hobbies and a more tuned list can be made? There are a lot of scam apps out there that steal your data or want you to pay for them when there are better free alternatives available. |

Shazam, Gas Buddy, Instant Radar (not in the play store anymore, have to get it thru a browser), Chrome The ones that were pulled from the store typically have some sort of malware in them (contact list scraping, use camera/microphone or other). Also: AVG Antivirus Lookout Those are almost required when you install any apps. Once your phone is down to stable app config, then just keep the Antivirus, which blocks malicious texts and such. |

There are a lot of scam apps out there that steal your data or want you to pay for them when there are better free alternatives available. CamCard is a business card organizer. I get overrun with business cards. Camscanner allows you to scan documents with your phone and turn them into PDFs Pockets allows you to save a browser page (article or whatever) to organize and view offline and you can share it across all your device and PC Greenify allows you to control and hibernate apps so they are not running in the background and being a power hog Here I have not used yet but its a mapping app |
