I'm using EverNote currently it has a good number of features - uploading notes to online account, taking pictures, recording audio.

I just use colornotes. I needed password protection. However I wish Andriod had better looking notes app with better UI like the stock iphone one.

I primarily use Evernote, because I can sync it across all my devices, Macbook, PC, iPod, Phones.
How ever I recently started testing out springpad, I like the layout of it, but there is no apps for laptops of any kind just the website.

I use and love AK Notepad

I use Evernote as I want my notes to be synchronized with my PC. It also has a practical widget.
I have also tried BI Notes. I may switch to that application when the synchonization feature is released (they have planned to implement it).

GDocs Notepad
I use GDocs Notepad because it syncs with Google Documents. That way I can see my notes on my phone and on my PC (or any PC for that matter).

Papyrus Ex. I make its notes folder sync with Dropbox.
Since the notes are stored as plain text I can open them on any device, even if they don't have my notes app installed (except for my encrypted notes).

I use evermore because I can easilly sync my notes to my computer.

I use aNotepad for quick notes like Notepad on the computer. I have some Microsoft Office stuff, too.

I've used AK Notepad for the longest time because its quick, simple and has great online backup. My personal fav is XM Notes (miui notes app) but it doesn't seem to work on CM7
If you want a notes app that looks as nice as the iphone one try Classic Notes Lite. I also use NotesWidget for a widget similar in function to the htc notes one.

I use Epistle. It has a UI very similar to Evernote but it's much more lightweight, and I have it sync to my dropbox.

I can't speak from personal experience but ive read and heard great things about Evernote.

IheartRadio, Pandora, root explorer, Vevo and XDA of course
Audiogalaxy, Battery Monitor Widget, DroidWall, Dual Mount SD, Opera Mobile, RealCalc (Best RPN Calc on Android), Titanium Backup (paid), Total Commander...
Following are apps that I find extremely useful, and may be paid and / or have a free version;
CalenGoo - My quest for the perfect calendar ended here.
gReader Pro - My quest for the perfect reader ended here.
Palmary Weather Pro
Chrome to Phone
Go SMS / Go Contacts (w/ Enterprise theme - which is AWESOME)
Uber Music (awesome player, no equalizer but there is apparently an equalizer app in the market that works with it)
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer
SetCPU
Chrome Marks (syncs with Chrome bookmarks - very handy)
Pano (my only camera app, best panoramic camera available)
Launcher Pro Plus / ADWEX
WidgetLocker
Tasker
Dropbox
SportsTap
Smart Keyboard Pro
Ravid - it's an app that makes video messaging as easy as texting. It's the perfect counterpart to Skype (which is the phone calling analogue, IMO).
Bird Bar - it lets you bring up the notification bar even when covered, with many options configurable in terms of where it can be triggered.
I'll bite.
In no particular order, other than when they popped into my head...
Tapatalk - because even though I bought the premium xda app, Tapatalk is still better. I use it for the couple of other forums I use too.
Titanium Backup - specifically the pro key. Best purchase I've made from the market.
Widgetsoid (2.x) - the best toggle widget I've found. Has tons of options, and I specifically love the mobile data toggle since it works without messing with my APN.
Droidwall - for allowing or refusing 3g or wifi connectivity to specific apps. I specifically use it to keep apps from syncing on 3g, or keep apps that have no reason for internet access from connecting.
Root Explorer - pretty much essential for any rooted user. I also like the ability to extract rar archives and choose individual files for extraction.
Call Confirm -.because I use a contacts widget and would accidentally call people all the time.
QuickPic - because default galleries tend to suck & I have a ton of folders that I exclude. It's by far the best gallery app out there.
PlayerPro - for music.
Desktop Visualizer - because it's awesome. I bought BetterCut when I first got my phone & it sucks in comparison.
ADW EX - is my default home app. LauncherPro is good too (at least the plus version) but I love the hidden dock on ADW & it's smoother for me.
SwiftKey X - because sometimes it guesses my entire sentence.
Alt Drawer - ADW doesn't use the icons I've set through my MIUI theme, and that bugs me. Alt Drawer looks better & has more options too. I use Quick Launch (Button Shortcut will also work and it's free) to open it when I long-press the search key. App drawer anywhere! I don't think it's in the market, you can find it on xda.
That's pretty much all of the apps I use other than widgets, Dropbox, gReader, Aldiko, WidgetLocker, system apps, and various utilities.

A tip if you are considering purchasing Titanium Backup. You can buy it from the Market but you can also buy the Donate version license direct from their website. The Donate version almost a dollar less expensive. It has the exact same functionality as the Pro version in the Market.
The reason I went with Donate: Titanium allows you to use the Pro/Donate version on all your your devices but it is much easier to do with the Donate version since all of your phones do not have to be linked to the same Market account.

Calendar and Note apps that sync?

Hey, does anyone know of a good calendar app and note app that would sync between two devices? I.e. Kindle Fire and SGS2?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Calendar: The built-in calendar (Google's) is overall best and easiest. That's going to sync automatically when u log in since they are both Android...
Notes: Gtasks or Gnote (Newer more robust version i believe) *Both are free in the market. Both sync to your Google account so each time u login all your notes and things shoot back down from the cloud...i love it.

What Password Manager Are You Using?

As title asks, what password manager are you using on your G2? Be it free or paid, lets hear what you are using to store all your passwords.
Im getting tired of trying to memorize all my passwords and need to find a good and secure app to store them with.
I have been using KeePass (main pc) and KeePassDroid works well and its free, check out the tutorial it helps a lot.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.keepass&hl=en KeePassDroid
http://keepass.info/download.html KeePass website (I use the classic version)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4lG58DoXH-c Great KeePass Tutorial
I use KeePassX on my PC (linux) and KeePassDroid on my phone. Absolutely love it!
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
OI Safe is another free and good one I have been using.
I don't really use a password "manager" so to speak, on my mac and iPad I do have 1Password, on android it's just a 1Password viewer (good enough for me), since my stuff is synced with dropBox it's pretty easy to pop open the viewer when I need and look up a login.
The 'base' of the whole software though isn't free.
This is one of the best and beautifully done. Pocket
I've used LastPass for a long time on pc, but haven't shelled out for the paid android app yet.
I'm using KeePass Droid for quite some time now. Works great for me. Syncing .kdb file throughout all devices (with Dropbox), mobile and PC it's a great tool to have all your passwords available everywhere and always updated.
Firefox also lets you synchronize your data (passwords, bookmarks, history etc.) on all devices, you can check this too.
Lastpass premium
I use LastPass on all my devices, G2, Transformer, and laptop.
I use mSecure ,CM7
Another vote for keepass and keepassdroid

Best Office Suite [Poll]

Hi Everyone,
I'm interested in all your opinions in a poll for the best Office Suite app (paid or free) to run on the Nexus 7.
My only real personal requirements are:
Google Drive integration
Full (as much as possible) editing of documents
Integrated fonts
Autosave
It's interesting to see that last month Google acquired Quick Office too!
Your thoughts...and more importantly reasons for your choice!
OP: good question. I was frankly quite disappointed that the new, improved Google Drive only allowed offline editing, but not offline document creation.
Galaxy Nexus / TMobile / Oakland
Thanks for the reply malcontent510, I had noticed that feature was lacking too and to me with the acquisition it is quite plain that eventually Quick Office + Drive will merge and it will be a force to be reckoned with. Until then one of the £5-10 ($7-15) range of apps will do the job I think, what was your personal pick?
on the phone I have experience with quick office, documents to go and preferred quick office.
On the tablet(nexus 7), I tried quick office pro hd and really like it so far.
I'm still learning how to use it but it is visually appealing to me & I love that I can sync my dropbox, box, drive accounts with it.
Vote= quick office pro hd

Thanks ateebtk, so can you open/save to/from Drive offline and then sync your saves when you're back online?
Are there several fonts included?

Alright..there are 19 fonts included.
Won't let you save file on drive without Wi-Fi.
You are forced to save on local storage without Wi-Fi.once you get Wi-Fi, you can easily drag files from local storage to the Google drive account very easily using the file explorer built in the app.

Thanks!
Does it Autosave in the background?
I like king soft office
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Quite a few votes for Google Drive/Docs, I do like the app, but you can't work offline unlike the others...
phantasybm does KingSoft have Drive integration?
Bump
OnLive Desktop looks pretty good, only downside is the need for a decent internet connection.
Hey ben, that's a very interesting app! Very cloud based but if you were at home/in an office with Wi-Fi then it could be worthwhile.
I just came across this app in the store that you might want to check out as well...
CloudOn

How did you install Quick Office Pro HD on the tablet? The app page on Google Play says it's not compatible with the Nexus 7.

Turn on unknown sources from menu(setting) and install apk from your tibu/online

A full featured, MS office compatible office package would be the "unreleased" SoftMaker Office Mobile for Android.
They have a free release candidate version you can download from their website and try.
This is the only one I've ever found that's 100% compatible with Office 2007 and 2010 without any formatting changes, etc.
It's really a heavy package tho. it includes "word", "excel" and "powerpoint".
Interesting find compusmurf! Have you tested it?

Officesuite HD. Works really well and works with a number of cloud services.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I use OfficeSuite Pro- It was Amazon's free app of the day a few months ago and I have no real complaints with it. Nothing particularly spectacular about it either.
Does anyone know if the Google Drive app allows you to save directly to .docx/.xlsx?

Google currents alternative

Since currents got taken down and replaced by new stand are there any alternatives out there that are similar to currents? I liked how it sorts your subscription by categories and you can access the categories by swiping in from the left and once in a category if you swipe from the right you can access different subscriptions... Anything out there that does this?

im another looking for a Currents replacement. I loved Currents it was perfect for what i want! I have tried, Feedly, Greader, Flipbook, rss reader, they all suck! I just want something that looks good and more importantly allows me to categorize my feeds! none of them let me do this.. If i want to read about android stuff i go to my android feeds, if i want car, i car to all my car feeds etc.. Will have a look at 360 too.. hepe its good.
