Screencast Video Recorder -

Taking a lot of screenshots and "videos" of apps and games is a habit to you ? Then Screencast is your go-to app, especially for the latter. If you ever find yourself in need of a way to record what’s happening on-screen, look no further than Screencast. The app costs $4, but there is a demo available so you can give it a shot before you buy.

Game On -

It not only allows users to backup and restore game data, but download and share game progress over the Game On network. Yeah, you read right – share. Game. Data. Maybe you’re stuck on a particular part of a game. Perhaps you just don’t feel like playing through all the boring crap (Gta 3) and want to jump straight into the good stuff. It doesn’t matter the reason you want to progress in a game – Game On is the solution. Game On costs a buck in the playstore. So give it a try and happy gaming ! :)

Chainfire 3D-

With this app you can play all the HD games on your mini. It comes with various visual gameplay options. Its a paid app and is available in the playstore. :) Do give it a try.

WiFi Protector -

WiFi Protector is a security app that protects your device from Wi-Fi sniffing attacks. It’ll detect and prevent ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) attacks, like DoS (Denial of Service) and MitM (Man in the Middle). Unlike most of the other apps in the roundup, this one actually offers a little bit of functionality for non-rooted users too. It can even defend your mini against WiFiKill, an app that can eject basically any user off of a Wi-Fi network with the tap of a button. Its a paid app available on the playstore.

Undelete -

This one is sure to save many people a lot of heartache. We’ve all mistakenly

deleted files before, potentially losing them forever. The next time that happens, though, Undelete is here to save the day by scanning your device’s SD Card, finding all the deleted files, and, in most cases, restoring these files. The app is free in the playstore, so there’s no excuse to ever lose another file. ;)

Call Master -

It’s probably the best call and text firewall in the playstore. It can control dozens of variables in countless situations – everything from blocking certain numbers during certain times of day, sending specific numbers to voicemail, to auto-hang ups etc.

avast! Mobile Security -

Last, but certainly not least is avast! Mobile Security – an app that every rooted user should have installed. I know what you’re thinking – an antivirus app? Really? Yes, really. This app is different than the rest of the anti-virus applications in the Market, because it is also the best anti-theft solution of any app. (The other features of the app are top-notch, as well, but the anti-theft functionality is its only root function). Why is its anti-theft so good? Because

it used to be Theft Aware , an app that is listed above. TA was bought out buy avast! and incorporated into its Mobile Security app. The best part is that the root function of the app wasn’t altered in any way – avast’s anti-theft setup is identical to Theft Aware in every way but with a wonderful UI – it’s simple and intuitive, and when it’s finished, you can rest assured that if your device is ever lost or stolen it’s as protected as it can be.

avast! Mobile Security is free and if you only choose to install one app from this roundup, I suggest that this is the one. ;)

Battery Callibration

If you have a regular habit of changing roms ? Then this is the right app for you.

Its a battery calibration app. It wipes all the battery stats/data from your phone and will make your phone ready to produce some fresh new stats. In this way your battery will last longer as it is always recommended to calibrate the battery after flashing a new rom. Its a free app and is available in the playstore.

BusyBox Installer

Did you ever feel, where can I get a old version of busybox ? This is a common query while using the V6 Supercharger, since it recommends a busybox 1.18.2 or higher version. So ever come across an app that requires an older version of busybox ? Then this is right app to turn for. Its a free app and many versions are available in the playstore so, choose wisely ;)

Script Manager

"THE" app for applying "ANY" script for your phone. It can help create terminal widgets for apps that aren't available for that app, by simple taps of the screen. SM widgets is another add-on for this app so you can use its full power.

For a guide to create terminal widgets, you can check this out :

It can also help tweak your phones performance by applying scripts like V6, kickass, 3G booster etc. A must have app for any dev or tweaker. It can serve as a decent root explorer for an average user. Its available in the playstore for free.

Root Uninstaller

Annoyed by the fact that you can't remove those useless system apps ? No more ! :) This is that app, that removes all the useless apps from your mini. It can also freeze user apps, backup them, delete them, unfreeze them, move them sd card etc. Its a powerful to have and sometimes may come in handy some times. Its a free app available in the playstore.

ScreenShot UX

A screenshot app that has all the cool features like shake to capture your screen. Its fully functional trial is available in the playstore. Use it and feel the app before investing in it :)

Screenshot ER

Another screenshot app. Its a completely free app in the playstore unlike any other in the playstore. As it is free, there has to be some way to chop our legs. :P . So that drawback is a 6-sec delay after taking every screenshot. Though if u buy it, you can reduce that delay to 1-sec. Some of its features are, screenshot preview ( various views for previews ) , shake SS, on-screen button, notification capture etc. Use it and the know the difference yourself. :)

Font Changer Root

Requires FULL ROOT and of-course a working-full busy boz. CWM and a backup(just for safety ) is recommended as a boot-loop MIGHT occur, according to dev. Moving on, this allows you to change fonts. You might be asking, Why root for a puny font changer app ? The answer is, it changes fonts. Yes it changes fonts of virtually anything, even the keyboard you are using right now . According to the dev, it creates a buck-up of your default font in-case something happens. While removing this app, make sure that you restore setting of your default font. In case you forgot, just restore your nandroid back-up .

It has the following features -

*font preview and changer.

*screen density changer.

*Quick reboot (after changing the font, a really QuickBoot occurs, thanks to this app.)

* localization of languages (English,Russian, Spanish etc. )

Its a free app in the playstore and a donate version is also available in case you like the app.

This tiny-free app DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT. Then why on the list :eek: ? As the name implies, it simply checks your su-binary and verifies that your phone is properly rooted or not. So this app is helpful for beginners who rooted their stock recently and lets you check whether you have followed the procedure correctly or not. Its available in the playstore for free.

SuperSU

Another great app from a great master, none other than our ChanFire himself. After giving us some great apps like CF3D, live demsg and logcat etc, its time to include this great app to the list. Its a replaceable counterpart app for the superuser app by Chainsdd i.e our default superuser permissions granter by applying the standard procedure. So installing this app simply replaces you current/default permissions granter. Try it and as always perform a back-up of your apps and data. Its a free app and is available in the playstore.

Its an app similar to ad-free. It uses leeches to prevent ads from being downloaded while browsing on your N4. Once you install this app and update the host files, you are ready to go for a ad-free experience on any app or browser.

It needs an ext-2, 3 or 4 partition for working. This tiny app is available in the playstore for free.

BuildProp Editor

As the name says, it an app to change and modify the build.prop for tweaking your phone. This is a good app to have for devs who like playing with OOM values.

Before playing with the file, the app creates a backu-up of your current build.prop file in case you forget. So even if you are not satisfied with your tweak or an error has occured, you can simply replace the back-up easily. . This tiny app is available for free in the playstore.

Z Screen Recorder

Probably the only app to give some competition to screencast app. Its a similar app compared to the screencast video recorder. It simply has two big buttons, when the app is opened.
