Another Launcher to play with

Vire Launcher - Another launcher for you guys to play with. The launcher has most of the features from launchers such as ADW, Apex, and brings unique functionality as well.

Try it out and go to the xda thread to have a look at it:)

Another piece of eye candy is an implementation of the 3D home effect that HTC tried to implement in Sense 3.5

I don't know if it has been mentioned:

Androzip

Box

Google sky map

HD caller ID

Line (Amazing !!)

Orbot (for downloading torrent)

Sygic (GPS)

Vonage (free call to US and Canada)

Hope that helps a little

If you live OUTSIDE the US, a must have app is called Hola. It lets you access your Facebook, Netflix, Pandora, Hulu and some other accounts/sites from ANYWHERE in the world. (You still need to have a subscription to the paid sites like HuluPlus, Netflix, etc...)

It's free from the Play Store. Also had an accelerator option.

Also available for free for your pc/Mac...

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Goku80:
Added the following to the OP

LINE: Free Calls & Messages - LINE is a new communication app which allows you to make FREE voice calls and send FREE messages whenever and wherever you are, 24 hours a day

Sygic: GPS Navigation - High quality TomTom maps stored on your Android (no internet connection needed!) together with a robust set of navigation features help you drive with confidence.

Orbot:Tor on Android - Orbot is the official port of Tor to Android. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. STANDARD/NO ROOT - Works best with Firefox Mobile+ProxyMob Add-on - Works with Orbot-enabled apps like Gibberbot (secure chat) and Orweb

CPU Sleeper Quad Core - Since we have Quad Core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU1/2/3, core 0,1,2,3 while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active "CPU0", this App will make sure CPU 1/2/3 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.(You need to pay for this app)

Just a few apps I also like and maybe worth mentioning ..

Greenify *ROOT* - Greenify help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from battery leeching, memory hogging and stealthy running, in an elegant and unique way!

Andromizer Pro - Andromizer is easily and safety android system setting tools. (needs Root and Busybox)

Router Keygen - Router Keygen generate default WPA/WEP keys for the following routers ( with no ads! ): .... (see thread)

LoL, what are you not impressed with? The reviews? Ha! Works flawlessly for me for all the sites it lists. Try it before you say "YOU'RE NOT IMPRESSED" when you actually mean "the people's whose reviews I read said they weren't impressed," LoL...

It wouldn't surprise me if many of the people giving it bad reviews are Devs for paid VPN/PROXY apps/services, and know they will lose a LOT of revenue because of free apps/services like this that work better than what they offer in some ways....

Try it yourself, as it does EXACTLY what is says it does for me and most others.

Backup to GMAIL - very very useful app

Back up to GMAIL...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=backup.email.inapp&feature=search_result#?t=W10.

I found it very very useful. You can backup & restore SMS, MMS and call logs to and from GMAIL.

It has an option to automatically backup you SMS, MMS and call logs.

It has a simple and clean UI and i highly recommend this app.

And above all, it a free app :) :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] weiyu:
I would recommend BSPlayer over MX Player, it's far better than MX Player in terms of performance and features. MX Player doesn't even support SMB, can't play videos on the NAS, which a feature a modern media player must has, can't play Dts audio included in mkv files, crashed all the times.

IMHO, MX Player should be removed from this Must Have Apps list, replace that with BSPlayer, its the BEST media player in Android world, period.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
Too bad it slows down your device.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] intuition34:
You mean it slows down *your* device? Not mine. And I see *very* few people complaining about it slowing down their phones either. In fact, of the few complaining of slow downs at all, all but literally a handful are either A) User error. And/or B) older/slower phones. Which is your issue.?

If it's slow or unresponsive for you, that's unfortunate. Doesn't have to be. My advice to your would be to do some reading, or move on to another thread / another product. Maybe something more fitting for speed demon like yourself? Lol. Go speed racer!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] liotyap:
Agree. The reason why I chose this is that it's the fastest launcher for my phone. Otherwise I would have switch to another product.

I don't think mx player should be removed, because it play really nice on my note 2.. Didn't crash at all, and it even can play DTS audio (you must download the codec), while ALL of other video apps CAN'T play it (in my experience) :p

you do know that VLC player is also good even though it is beta;)

Notification LockScreen Widget

I don't think it's exactly what you're looking for but you might like it. Read first because I believe if you're on 4.1.2, you need widget locker ($2.99) to function.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mankind_18:
hmm.. i haven't try it yet, but since vlc being well known in windows too, so i think you're quite right ;)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] weiyu:
As it stated, if it doesn't ask, then don't need to install any codec, also when I tried the free version, it doesn't support SMB natively at all.

BTW, BSPlayer can play DTS audio without installing any codec.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mankind_18:
(the bold one) yes it can play mkv with DTS audio, but unfortunately it cause some lag in my 8gb celine dion video (mkv with DTS).. that's why i didn't use BSPlayer :p

You have to try Photo Desk. It's a really excellent alternate gallery app; does a lot of the same things but does some better. It has the split pane interface, and was actually designed with the S-Pen in mind. I use it for both viewing and organizing photos (select several photos, drag and drop all into a new folder - you can create folders as well.) The presentation, function and UI are all great. It's free too :)

Been playing LoZ Phantom Hourglass on it and i'm a good 10 hours in, plays perfectly with no slow downs, and with the Note 2's stylus it's probably the best experience you can get. It's a little steep but believe me, it's worth it.

Hi thanks for compiling that post

I use my phone to read more than anything else

and one app that I found quite useful is pocket (aka read it latter) is like dropbox of web articles to me,

you need to install a plugin in chrome/FF and when you find a cool article you can store to read latter

and with the option of having those documents stored local for when im using the tube/subway/metro

is a win win situation.. not sure how many docs can you store but is well worth a lok

readability does the same and can send articles to kindle.. but is a bit annoying checking way to often for sync..

maybe i will use pocket in android and readability the day i get a kindle

FX Explorer is for me currently the best File Explorer for Android systems

FX: file explorer w/optional root, net (SSH,FTP,SMB,Google Drive) & media tools. FX File Explorer is a file manager with optional media, networking, cloud, and root capabilities. FX is designed to let you quickly and easily manage all content on your phone or tablet. FX does not have advertisements.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] oalex:
What makes it the "best"

What makes it the "best"? Lots of explorer's can do what you listed. For example the one listed in op (Solid explorer) can even do double panel (like pc total commander), yet I wont go as far as saying it the best. Or take a look at the most popular ES File Manager, you say you like cloud, well Es can do way more that you listed: Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Box.net, Sugarsync, Yandex, Amazon S3, and Ubuntu One.

If you say YOU like it, then thats fine, but don't make up stuff with no foundation, like saying its the best. It not even very popular, so I guess you are just out to do some gorilla marketing.
