Visually, there is not much difference between "Ungoogled Chromium" and Chromium or Chrome. The changes can be found under the hood: All features that contact Google's servers have been deactivated. These are functions like the Google Host Detector or the Google URL Tracker. The default search engine is not Google, but DuckDuckGo. And in general, all Google binaries have been removed from the source code of "Ungoogle Chromium".
Without signing in to a Google Account, Chromium does pretty well in terms of security and privacy. However, Chromium still has some dependency on Google web services and binaries. In addition, Google designed Chromium to be easy and intuitive for users, which means they compromise on transparency and control of internal operations.
ungoogled-chromium addresses these issues in the following ways:
Remove all remaining background requests to any web services while building and running the browser
Remove all code specific to Google web services
Remove all uses of pre-made binaries from the source code, and replace them with user-provided alternatives when possible.
Disable features that inhibit control and transparency, and add or modify features that promote them (these changes will almost always require manual activation or enabling).
ungoogled-chromium
is Google Chromium, sans dependency on Google web services.
retains the default Chromium experience as closely as possible. Unlike other Chromium forks that have their own visions of a web browser, ungoogled-chromium is essentially a drop-in replacement for Chromium.
features tweaks to enhance privacy, control, and transparency. However, almost all of these features must be manually activated or enabled. For more details, see Feature Overview.

Phonechievements is back
Phonechievements (latest version 1.35)
About
Phonechievements brings achievements to the mobile phone. For those who are gamers the concept isn't new, for those who are not, achievements are just rewards you get for accomplishing a goal. You don't get an actual prize, it's just a form of reward that you get in writing. Moreover, this app allows you to brag on Facebook with them (for now).
Open the app and navigate through the list. Each achievement has a description on how you can unlock it. Want to let everyone know how you master the phone? Share on Facebook the unlocked achievements. Just open the app and go to the achievement and a Facebook logo button will allow you to do that.
With each update new features and of course new phonechievements will be added.
If you like the idea and want to help me improve or have any suggestions for new achievements, please check it out.
The app is available for Android 2.0+. If you find any issues please let me know so I can fix them.
Thank you.

Original Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097994
I dont know why I dont see thread about alternative appstores and other stuff.
I thought, well, let me be the first guy.
This device is my most favorite phone I have ever held so I thought about making a thread about somethings you might not know, especially if you have a rooted phone.
Let me start:
FDroid https://f-droid.org/
This is an opensource appstore that you can install, root or no root. Not only does it have interesting apps, its free and offers some apps which were banned by google because those apps were responsible for "Blocking" ads, such as adaway, adblock+.
There are some interesting apps which I use.
Adaway, removes ads by blocking them in the phone's host file. I have run into issues with this one. You may need CM to make this one work correctly.
AfWall+, my most favorite app there is. Its a firewall that you can customize to block apps from communicating with the internet. Very handy for those apps that download ads or privacy.
GnuCash, its a accounting app. It helps with keeping up with bills and prices.
K9-Mail, custom mail app, offers some extra options compared to your normal Email App in your phone.
DocumentViewer, very handy as it offers full screen viewing, with the Z ultra its very neat.
OpenConnect, VPN app.
DashClock, very very cool clock widget. It allows for customization.
hacker's keyboard, customizable Keyboard.
Adblock Plus, self explanatory...
aLogcat ROOT, full system logging,
Arity, complex calculator with more features than standard android calculator.
URecord lets you record sound.
Phone recorder, records every phone call you make.
All these apps are FREE and some of them or all, have open source licences. Which means, you can read and learn from their stuff.
Also, there is the amazon appstore, they offer a free app everyday.
Last, I want to stress that there are many ways to overcome google's lockdown on apps by country. I use aptoide, an appstore which offers many apps available in the google playstore.
However, you can use the online version aswell. Very useful for those guys or ladies living in countries where apps are not available.
If someone can share some more apps, do so!
Really the only thing that made me want to root this thing(stock GPe rom) was to remove the soft keys and install LMT Launcher. I can mostly use this thing one handed now.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, but hopefully someone has a good idea!
I have been using Touchdown for the past two years to check work emails on my phone. I recently upgraded to Android L, and lo and behold, Touchdown no longer works. Now I am on a quest to find a new app so that I can check my work emails. I have a few requirements / wants from the app:
[Required] Must support S/MIME. My company encrypts all internal emails.
[Required] Must support Android L.
Security policies should be specific to the app. I don't want work having any ownership over my entire phone.
The calendar and the contacts should be internal. I'd rather keep all the work stuff in the app
I found Nine, which looks really pretty, but it doesn't have S/MIME yet. They plan on adding it "soon". Does anyone have any suggestions for an app that works on Android L and support S/MIME?
bump
good question.
how is the situation? any solution?
Is there anything else that works with Lollipop? I have been having a hell of a time trying to find a working app. The only ones that I can get to complete authentication to my company's server is Nine and the official Outlook Web App Preview app.
BTW OP, try the Outlook app from Microsoft. It is possible that it will meet the requirements you are looking to set as minimum standards.
resume....
imho NiNE is THE-ONE!
it is all there: FULL EAS support (mail,contacts,calendar,tasks,notes) s/mime, multiple eas-accounts, app OR device policy-support :good:
also imho: by not supporting PGP or S/MIME by default, android really proves it's immaturity

Agreed! It really sucks that iOS has had S/MIME support for years in its built in mail client but not Android.
Then again, Apple does not rely on a business model which includes the need to spy on users messages.
The usual way to zoom in a webpage (/map/document etc.) is the two finger pinch in/out gesture. However since Android 4.4 there's the new Double-touch drag gesture (One-finger press, lift, one-finger press, move, lift) allowing to zoom using just one hand/finger. (Thanks to Google's AppCompat it also works with older versions of Android.)
This handy gestures is supported in Google Maps, Google Earth, Chrome, Gmail and some other apps. See the actual gesture on video.

Although supporting this gesture is no harder than switching from Holo to Material or writing 100 lines of code, plenty of top Play Store developers keep ignoring it (despite of my email requests). Both Mozilla Firefox (bug) and Adobe Acrobat Reader have over 100 million downloads from Play Store yet they are unable to support this feature.
Therefore here come Xposed to rescue. Initially I wanted to create universal solution but I no longer think something like that is doable because of custom double click detections etc. I started with Adobe Reader and Mozilla Firefox and managed to hack in support for this gesture using Xposed. So the currently supported apps are:
Adobe Reader 15.2.2, 15.3
Firefox 42.0, 43.0 & Nightly/Fennec 45.0
I intent to look into supporting other apps as well. Next in line are OpenStreetMap apps such as Osmand (bug), MAPS.ME and Scout.
Let me know if there are any other apps you'd like to have supported (maps, office/document viewers and editors). The current module version is limited to Android 4.4 and up.
This module has been merged into new module http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-tweaks-cm-t3279109. Please check that module for any future updates.
Check Out These Useful Built-in Apps For The Honor 8
Magic Tag Magic Tag lets you read tasks from and write tasks to a tag with ease. Tags can be placed in various locations so you can enable different modes quickly. Use this app with NFC tags to activate different profiles. Get a handful of NFC tags for about $10 from Amazon.

RecorderThe recorder app built into the Honor 8 is very simple to use. You have REC, Pause and Stop controls. Some recorders have a tendency to over complicate the process by adding too many additional features. The stock recorder here seems to strike a perfect balance.
ThemesCustomize your system down to the very last detail. The easy to use theme engine built into the Honor 8 gives you a bunch of possibilities from custom icons, wallpapers, animations, font styles and more. Mess around with it to create your own theme, or import themes from the Play store.
Phone ManagerThe phone manager is a very clever app that manages all sorts of activities on your phone. It will scan your system and close out of apps to keep your phone running at an optimal speed. You can also manage your harassment filters, white listed apps, pin locked apps, notifications and much more.
I like the steps counter.
The remote control app looks really useful but haven't tried it yet.
So far so good. These are useful apps (Atleast I think they are) Are there any bloatware?

The only "bloat" I found when I received my phone was apps that led to customer support, store page, and other Honor webpages. But these can be easily removed by uninstalling. Other than that there isn't much. There is this included Mirror app which I don't really find useful when I found just use the camera app as a mirror.
The remote control app is wonderful! It has more brands than I can count in an hour (no, I haven't tried). So far I have it set up to both the TV and the sattelite receiver. I think I'll try it on the floor fan next time.
