Hello guys,
Can you provide me with good third party apps(mostly free versions) that I can use fora daily basis ? I have just finished creatinga a custom rom for for my Nexus 7(2012-Wifi) and I would like a change from the default google apps. Can you suggest apps for the different categories,
Launcher
Music
Video
Web Browser
epub, pdf, etc reader
Dialer
Camera
My Picks
Launcher - Definitely Nova Launcher
Music - Clean Music
Video - MX Player, VLC Player
Web Browser - Chrome, Dolphin Mini, Opera Mini
epub, pdf - FB Reader, Google Books via their upload to web option you can read any book
Dialer - exDialer
Camera - SnapCamera HD
Google for all links.
These are the best apps so far used by me for the last 3 years of android experience plus they all work great even on a phone with 512 MB of RAM so for other devices the speed will definitely not be an issue.

I use my Nook mostly for book, news, and magazine reading, web searching and browsing, reference and lookups, quick viewing and editing of notes while on the go, email device, and as an auxiliary PIM (with the phone being the main PIM). Basically the stuff that's better on a larger screen than on a phone-sized screen when it's inconvenient to use the laptop.
My Nexus One mostly serves as my main PIM, alarm clock, task reminder service, portable nav device, time tracker, expense capture device, messenger, voice search device, and general communications device. Oh, and as a phone too.
The two devices fill in for each other in a pinch since most of my data is synced to the cloud.
Apps that get the most use on my NC:
Launcher: Zeam
Web Browser: Dolphin HD
Media Player: Don't use one
Keyboard: Swype
IM app: Google Voice for text messaging and listening to voice mails
File Browser: Root Explorer
Widgets: Minimalist Text, FolderOrganizer, (will probably start using Zoom soon)
Tools: ClockSync, PrinterShare, Astrid Locale Plug-in, Secure Settings plug-in, Tasker, Synker, IVONA TTS (I'm big into automation)
Other: B&N Nook, Amazon Kindle, OverDrive Media Console, LastPass, Evernote, Dropbox, OfficeSuite Pro, Astrid, JustPictures, Google Calendar, XDA app, WeatherBug Elite, various news and business journal apps, LinkedIn, ezPDF Reader, GMail, Google Reader
My 19-month old son has begun "borrowing" my tablet so he uses a bunch of the OMBooks Dr. Seuss apps, Fruit Ninja, watching the occasional Sesame Street video on YouTube, as well as an app called "Baby Animal Balloons."
I tried using Google Currents for about a week and loved the app but it seemed like it really slowed down my NC and caused a lot of freezing so I uninstalled it.
And finally, I just started working on using Tasker to create a "Toddler Mode" so that when my son is playing with it, he's restricted to only the things I want him to be able to do with it. Hopefully I can find a way to make that work. I use Tasker for a lot of things on my phone and a few things on the NC.
And by the way, I can't even begin to express my appreciation for the CyanogenMod team and all the developers that turned this table into such a great device! The only thing that I can't do with the NC that I wish I could is using voice commands. Otherwise the NC has been a shockingly useful device for me on an everyday basis!

**If possible, add some input as to why they are your favorite TOP 3 APPS **
My Current Top 3 Apps
1. ezPDF Reader PRO
PDF Editing
* I can write, type and sign directly on my documents. It enables me to have my clients sign my business contracts right on my tablet. I could also email a copy of the signed PDF's without having to print.

3. TuneIn Radio Pro
Browse and listen to radio - live, local and global.

https://market.android.com/details?id=radiotime.player&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJhZGlvdGltZS5wbGF5ZXIiXQ..
1)Netflix for obvious reasons
2) Vulkano player allows me to stream TV from home, I can watch either live TV or DVRd content.
3)Terminal emulator to allow you to push things right on the tablet itself.
1. Netflix (Duh, movies.)
2. Comic Book Viewer (I always wanted a comic book device like in BIG)
3. ES File Explorer (Easy way to transfer OTA files)
1. Dolphin. It's a nice web browser and has an xmarks addon to keep my bookmarks synced between all browser on all my devices. (I use Firefox on my PCs because the adblocking works better than chrome which is why I don't use the chrome sync feature.)
2. gReader Pro. It's a nice RSS reader similar to google's.
3. Beautiful widgets. I actually don't really have a 3rd best app. They all sort of fall into the 3rd place. I probably use beautiful widgets the most though to check the weather every day.

Hi, i use chrome as my main browser, because i use it on my desktop and i love sync. But i really want fast and good video player on google (like UC, dolphin, firefox etc.) because i am watching anime everyday and adblock would be good too... Is there a way to add these features to chrome?
Hello everyone!
I've some tips for those people of you who don't want to use the Google gallery, music or browser app.
When I've bought my wonderful Nokia 5, I see that there aren't other apps as the apps from Google, so I've looked on the internet and found some nice (and ad-free apps).

(better) File Manager MiXplorer https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691
