Author Topic: Recommend me Android apps to install  (Read 693 times)

I just bought a Galaxy Nexus. Suggest apps that I should install.
I don't have a data connection though, so don't suggest apps that would be useless without it.



To start it off with, I'm already planning to install the following:

  • AirDroid
  • Chrome
  • Goggles
  • Steam
  • DSPManager

Suggested that I'll try out/think about:

  • Tasker
  • App Garden
  • Flow Free
  • Temple Run
  • Angry Birds Star Wars
  • Bump

  • Steam
requires data unless you only use it on wifi.  same goes for most apps that download anything (which is almost all of them).

Both Chrome and Steam require internet connectivity, but I sometimes have wi-fi access while I don't have access to a computer, so that's why I'm getting it.

tasker

Looks pretty useful, I'll look into it.

Dolphin Browser has been more reliable than Chrome for me, but that's my opinion.
Netflix
Google Reader (for RSS feeds)
Spotify
Reddit is Fun/Baconreader
Youtube
App Garden
Avast/Lookout
Dropbox
Drive
Flow Free
Skype
Temple Run
Translate
Tumblr

  • Angry Birds Star Wars
  • Temple Run
  • Lookout Mobile Security
  • Advanced task killer
  • Root Browser Lite
  • Skype
  • Zedge
  • Google Drive
  • Dropbox
  • BUMP
  • App Garden
  • Go Launcher EX

You'll also want to root, although nobody is taking any responsibility except you in the event that you brick your phone.

Good apps if you're rooted
  • Boot Animation Changer (BAC)
  • ROM Manager
  • Titanium Backup + root
  • CPU Master

I've been using that on my previous, really old Android phone that doesn't support Chrome.
I'll try using Chrome for a while and switch to it if I experience too many reliability issues.

Spotify

I only have Spotify Unlimited, so that's.. yeah.

Youtube

Isn't this a default app?

App Garden

But of course.

Dropbox
Drive

I don't use cloud storage much (read: ever).

Flow Free
Temple Run

They both seem like pretty interesting games, I'll try them out.

If they have it, Zoo Tycoon 1 mobile(might not be avalible anymore)
or RA3 mobile.

  • Angry Birds Star Wars

I'll try it out.

  • BUMP

Seems like it could be pretty useful.

  • Go Launcher EX

I won't be dumping the default launcher just yet.


Jailbreak your phone.

Jailbreak your phone.

The thing is, it's called rooting for androids because they don't have the kind of jail Apple does, but same idea, it's a good idea because it will give you a lot more features than a stock Galaxy Nexus.

I was pretty much planning to root it and use AOKP anyway.
