Light and very fast launcher. A great improvement over the standard SE launcher! |

ezGED Viewer |
 |
|
Perfect GEDCOM viewer. Reads files containing up to 6000 individuals without a problem (or the need for conversion) and best of all: it's totaly free! |
|
|
 |
GedStar Pro |
 |
|
So far the only option to view large (more than 6000 individuals) GEDCOM files on your android device. The desktop application needed for the conversion is not free but at $ 9,95 it is not really expensive. |
Social media:
 |
Google+ |
 |

Torque ODB2 |
 |
|
Simply the best ODB2 monitoring tool for Android! You do need an ODB2 dongle to use it but, although they are not recommended, even a cheap Chinese version does the trick :) (I use this one from DealExtreme.com) |
|

|
 |
My Tracks |
 |
|
Record and view your tracks. |

 |
Sygic Aura |
 |
|
Aura is a 'new' navigation app. It feature's social options (navigate to contacts, etc) but the best is the fact that you can always download the newest map direcyly on your device. |
System Tools:
 |
Root Explorer |
 |
|
For Root Explorer you, obviously, need root rights on your phone! |
|
|
|
 |
Astro File Manager |
 |
|
Astro is, I think, the most user friendly file manager for Android. It lacks root options but the free bluetooth and especially SMB modules make up for this! |
|
|
|
 |
SetCPU |
 |
|
A fast CPU in your phone is very nice but it also drains your battery. SetCPU slows down your CPU when you do not need the speed. Thanks to the optional profiles (slower speed when the screen is off or when you are sleeping for example) you can safe even more power. |
Emulators:
Music and images:
 |
Droidsound |
 |
Droidsound plays several retro formats of which the most important are SID (C64) and MOD (Amiga) . |
|
|
|
 |
PlayerPro |
 |
|
Beautiful and very user friendly MP3 player. |
|
|
|
 |
JustPictures |
 |
|
Like the name says, this app only shows pictures but it does that very well! Has support for all the big online image services (view and update). |
|
|
 |
Vignette |
 |
|
Especially useful if you use a custom rom where the camera app won't work. In most instances Vignette will work! On the X10 it even uses the flash :) |
Live Wallpapers:
 |
Seeds of life |
 |
|
Simple and fun :) |
|
|
|
|
 |
PlanetScapes |
 |
|
Beautifull but heavy live wallpaper (works great on a Pro 3 or something like a SGS2) |
|
|
|
|
 |
Galactic Core |
 |
Beautiful wallpaper! On my X10 the default galaxy rotation speed is a bit choppy but a slower turn looks even nicer  |
Other:
 |
gReader |
 |
|
Google Reader for Android. Syncs both ways :) |
|
|
|
 |
Dropbox |
 |
|
Who does not know Dropbox. 2GB of online space which is more than enough if you use it for your phone documents and apps. If you use this shortcut to create your account we both get 250MB extra. |

Rabo Bankieren |

|
 |
OurGroceries |
 |
|
Great shopping list app! Remembers which products you buy regulary and best of all: you can synchronize the lists between several devices! |
|
|
|
 |
LogMeIn Ignition |
 |
|
Very expensive for an app (25 $) but well worth it! Even with lower speeds (gprs) you are still able to control all the machine's you already have in your logmein account. Works perfectly with the free version of logmein. |
