Two very nice finds, setting up Android Manager now.
Edit: Loads of nice finds...

yeah i plan to keep adding more great apps as i find them in this topic.
(forums are a better bookmark than a bookmark in a browser )

the wifi one is great, I have a 32gb sd card that has write issues when copying files via kies or usb transfer, but this way it works like a dream

it's great for installing Apps not from Android Market, also to organize your contacts, files, etc.
Also take screen capture, and many many other things.

AllGamer, hopefully soon the Elegant Steel theme will be able to work on the i9000(m)
That is probably one of the nicest themes I have ever seen.

Bookmarked.
This thread should Be sticky.
Thanks for the info AllGamer.

Great thread, thank you.

Oh yeah. The Oscar goes to this thread. Thanks man.

new stuff added

Your contribution for this forum is great! Thanks for the list.

new apps added

AllGamer,
First, thank you for this great list... I've already added several to my own Galaxy S...
If I may make a suggestion though, it would be to include the date you add something to the list in their description. The list is getting long and hard to navigate or determine the new additions. Something along the lines of this:
APN on-off Widget
date added: Aug 28, 2010
Apk: http://www.appbrain.com/app/net.maicas.android.apnoo
Very handy to turn On/Off your GPRS/EDGE/3G/3.5G data connection

good idea, i'll do that with the next item i add to the list

SMS Time Fix
Apk: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.mattprecious.smsfix

Great stuff guys let's keep this going. I'm sure someone will find this very useful
Sent from my G2
Grooveshark: this is by far my favorite app, it allows me to upload all of my music files to their servers, and stream them on my G2 over 3g/HSPA/WiFi. I don't have to use my sd card for mp3's at all. The audio quality is just as good over streaming. I can also search other user's collections and stream those too. The app is very well constructed, with pull down menus, album art, and many other features I haven't even used yet. Costs $3/month and worth every penny.
AOR (Android Online Radio): pulls internet radio stations from all over the world. Just like Ootunes on iOS and WunderRadio on WinMo. But for Android it's free!
Zedge: wallpaper and ringtones app. Free, worth more. I have my phone setup to use R2D2's sounds for ringtone, and Chewbacca's cry for text notifications. Very cool.
Angry Birds Lite: enough said, fun and maddening game. Free
Raging Thunder 2: great racer for the G2, play it daily. $5.99? I think, don't remember.
Fruit Ninja: very fun, but very difficult game. I am lucky to last 90 seconds. But good for a quick game fix. $.99
Beautiful Widgets: customize your desktop with clocks and weather widgets. Lots of different styles, easy to adapt to whatever wallpaper you use. $2.99? Don't remember what it cost.
- ConnectBot - for all your remote *nix administration needs.
- Remote Desktop (by xtralogic) - my favorite RDC app for windows administration.
- Wikimind lite - a wiki formatted notes application. Useful for jotting stuff down.
- Powerstrip - for quick access to a few widgets without having to leave whatever application you are currently in.
- Newsrob - my favored RSS feed reader.
- Aldiko - an eReader.
- Angry Birds - time waster #1
- Robo Defense - time waster #2
- Barcode Scanner - QR codes for applications and general barcode scanning
- Shop Savvy - price comparison app.
LauncherPro - the best application on Android, period. Stop whatever you are doing and download it right now.
Shazam - That song that you hearing but don't know the name of, Shazam it
Power Control Plus - Allows you to add additional features that the normal Power Control widget doesn't offer such as Edge/HSPA toggle, Orientation toggle, and Flashlight toggle
Coupons - Never hurts to save a little money, you will find TONs of coupons and specials using this app
EasyTetherPro - Until the G2 is rooted this is a good application for transferring your HSPA+ speeds via USB
Music Downloader Pro - It downloads music...and its Pro at it
PhonemyPC - Allows you to connect to a PC very easily. No firewalls, no specific versions of windows, and no port forwarding. Just create a username and pass on your phone and do the same on the computer and your good to go.
Doubletwist - A music player that looks alot better than the stock version
Anything that ends in soid - Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Gameboy, Sega Genesis, even Playstation. You have a physical keyboard, take advantage of it.
XDA - Take a guess
This thread was really gaining speed, and good information in the general section. Here in the "theme and apps" sections it's going to die. Much like mine and a second similar one after that.
It was very informative while it lasted.
Apps:
AlarmDroid - Awesome Alarm Clock
APKtor - Public Market
Appbrain App Market
Dialerone - Alternative Dialer
EasyMoney Lite - checkbook app
File Manager
Gtasks - todo lists that syncs with Google Tasks
Handcent SMS - alternative texting app
Tasker - automation app like locale but much more features.
Zeam Launcher - Silly fast launcher
Widgets:
Brightness Level
Gauge Battery
tajm - clock widget
wifi onoff
Mobile Signal Widget
Not in any particular order...
Applanet - black market
Handcent - good for my particular texting needs
TeslaLED - Dear God that SOB is bright!!
Mobile Manager - nice app to get into the SD card and other things
DropBox Mobile - lets me access documents across multiple devices
Documents2Go - open and edit MS Office documents
EasyTether - USB tether
Mixzing - music player
Dolphin Browser - I like the tabs
RoadSync - exchange email sync
Those are the ones I use most often. The list could go on and on though... If I had root access I would add Barnacle WiFi to it which is a great hotspot creator, but since I can't use that app anymore, it doesn't make the list.
1. Official XBMC Remote - Beautiful if you have XBMC running on a PC or anything else for that matter

Currently selected folder and files are highlighed, while other folders/files have slighly darker background.
You may explore internals of the device, and if you're power user and have your device rooted, you can make changes to system data - backup files, remove unwanted applications, etc.
If you're standard user, you may choose to hide internal memory from view and be sure not to mess with system.

X-plore can show SQLite database files (those with .db extension) as expandable list of tables, each table containing list of rows and columns with database entries.
Main interaction is done by touch screen, clicking on folders or files to open files, or long-click to open context menu which contains options which can be done on particular clicked item, or multiple selected items.
Multi-selection allows to do operation on more files at once. Files can be selected by clicking check box. It is also possible to select all files in a folder, or clear selection, by clicking parent folder's check box.
Opening file may mean to use one of built-in viewer for most popular file types: images, audio, video and text.
Or you may configure X-plore to use system application for opening files, in which case system-predefined application that can open particular file is launched.
Archives (currently supported are Zip and Rar) are displayed as other folders. You may open them, see contents, and do standard operations that you'd do on files - rename, delete, copy from/to, etc.

AirDroid can be used for so much more than typing stuff...
Adding music, deleting music.
Removing apps, adding apps.
Its really easy compared to hooking up a USB cord and going from there.
Photoshop Touch is incompatible, you need to sideload it. But do agree with a lot of them. Lightflow is a definite must, morequicklypanel is a good one but does take up a notification, and also for me Battery Widget Reborn is a quality app. great battery statistics

★ Must have apps for your Moto G - Post your bestest bestest fav here...

Hi,
What are your must have apps and favorites for your Moto G. Post here and let us know what is nice, great, silly or just COOL!
Here are a few of my personal favs enjoy
------------------------------------------------------
NEWS APP - Flipboard Gorgeous flip and slide animations, excellent at compiling searched info into your very own personalized magazine
FILE MANAGER - File Manager (Explorer)
MUSIC - Poweramp (The king of the hill)
BATTERY WIDGET - Battery Widget Reborn (Includes proper battery % in the notification bar)
CLOCK - 3D Flip Clock (multi-touch programmable, weather, great look)
LAUNCHER - Nova (Not as flash as some launchers, but still great)
TEXT APP - 8SMS (Simple, crisp and clean, with nice clear pop up notification)
BARCODE SCANNER - ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner (Very quick at capturing scans and showing comparison prices on amazon etc.)
KEYBOARD - Google Keyboard (the swipe is gorgeous, it's quick and very very smart)
WALLPAPER APP - Zedge (includes ringtones and notification tones)
POWER CONTROL WIDGET - Power Toggles (Very customizable and quick)
SCREEN OFF - Screen Off and Lock (a great wee app I put on all my devices, touch and screen off) comes with various off animations but I always use retro tv
BEST COOL APP - Gravity Screen (automation at its coolest)
2nd BEST COOL APP - Light Flow Lite - LED Control (Set up different colours and flash rate and vibration for all your notifications)
LIVE TV (UK) - TVCatchup (Basically live UK tv channels BBC, ITV, C4 etc.. turns your phone into a portable tv)
PIE CONTROL - LMT (not verified for Moto G yet but I use it on my Nexus 5 and Note)
------------------------------------------------------
If I find any fabulous, new, must have apps I will post 'em here

I like Pulse over flipboard try it. ^_^
Google Newstand is pretty cool too.But it consumes too much data.

Live Score Addicts and The Football App are pretty great for football freaks.
I also love Feedly (news content) and Swiftkey (probably the best keyboard). I also like Greenify very much, but it's unuseful now because we have no root on the phone.. (unless unlocking the bootloader which I don't want to do now).
What's the battery life like with all of these apps installed? Also, anyone try the Google Experience Launcher over Nova for their launcher?
I like the Google Now feature, especially with the feature to be able to say "Ok Google" at any time on your home screen. Gravity Screen also seems like it'd waste a lot of battery.
Lightflow has low utility as our devices only has the white led...

i use Chronus for clock, calendar and weather, it's a really good app
Here are some to start off:
ES File Explorer is my favorite file managing app
Airdroid
Dynamic Notifications is worth a try
Evernote
Pandora
TuneIn Radio
Dropbox
Skydrive
Skype
i'm agree, Airdroid is Awesome !
i forget a precious apps : Llama - Location Profiles to automatically activate/deactivate wifi, sound, or other things.
Android Reverse Tethering - Presently, you are required to connect / disconnect to a wifi signal before running this utility.
Must have apps on my Moto G :
1) ES File Explorer
2) Titanium Backup ( if rooted )
3) Skype
4) Mx Player
5) LiveScore
6) Winamo Pro ( for shoutcast )
7) PowerAmp for local music
8) Adobe Reader
9) Ebay
10) Flashlight
11) KitKat Launcher
For battery percentage you should use "battery overlay percent" it shows the % you have left as overlay on your original battery. :good:
I also like "Power schedule", for turning bluetooth etc. on and off. :fingers-crossed:
my all time list:
smart launcher,
bsplayer,
dropbox,
es file explorer,
jetaudio,
keep,
my cloud player,
quickpic,
skype,
stumbleupon,
tunein radio,
uberhype

Sofascore<<< I'm convinced that this is THE best football/score app there is with a modern android design.
I use a sound through wifi a lot and definitely the best pair are: AirBubble for receiving (paid, or otherwise a lot of noise after half an hour of use) and Aoa for transmitting the signal from my Android TV stick.

One issue i do have is the lack of Flash player for this phone, i have tried all links to do with it, but no joy, any ideas?
Install Dolphin Browser, that has flash on it.

It did not work for me,
However,
Doing this worked like a charm.
Save the Flash player.apk to Google drive (this has filters and converters)
Once saved open from your device and hey presto it installs Flash player to your phone.
Apparently it will work this way on other apk files that don't install normally
i will try to find the link where i got the tip from.
