Must-have app: Ultimate Rotation Control - Shield Themes and Apps

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE! Ultimate Rotation Control is an excellent fix for the always-landscape orientation of the Shield. I recently posted a landscape version of Temple Run in another thread, but many other apps besides just this for me have been completely fixed, even without landscape support!
A few for reference that now work even without landscape:
- The Verge
- Temple Run (still need to swipe screen)
- My banking app (EECU)
Here's an album of the fixed apps: http://imgur.com/a/0Aywu

CamScanner - It works like this, you take a photo using your phone's camera of any document, business card etc. and it will automatically optimize the image i.e. sharpness, contrast as if it were scanned on a scanner, it will then convert it to a .pdf file you can email. Say goodbye to fax machines!

List of "good" apps

My list from a few other threads, but very relevant here since everyone is probably wondering what "app" to get.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnAJoa0-ynONdGJiVDRSQ0p4VGtCaklESmtEbkJzNUE
edit: you guys can add to it ^_^
Great list, a few I couldn't live without:
Badass Battery, 4.7
Mobi Calculator, 4.8
FX File Explorer, 4.7
N7 Player, 4.7
Gtasks, 4.5
DIGI Clock Widget, 4.6
Palmary Weather, 4.5
GasBuddy, 4.6
YouAreHere, 4.7
Navfree, 3.8
Widgetsoid2, 4.6
I've found some of the widgets by this dev are excellent and he supports them very well if you mail him.
The Pure Grid calendar widget has options for tablet size widgets, multiple calendars, colour coding etc.
Also imho HDR Camera+ should be up there with ZoomFX
OP - amazing list!
That is a very clean and comprehensive list of apps you have OP. Thanks for posting... I am definitely going to try some of them out.
Has anyone tried Autodesk Sketchbook Pro on the N7?

Here's my Android tablet list of "best of breed" apps:
GTasks - syncs with Google Notes, has reminders, great widgets. Augments my calendar for many things. Free.
Dark Knight - good tablet chess app. Free+no ads.
AndroXplorer - first-rate file explorer with CIFS support. Free (minor advert), but I bought Pro with my Play credit. Better than all the others I've tried and has proper tablet interface.
SuperSU - fine-grained control of root permissions. Free+no ads, Pro has some sweet features, bought it.
AdAway - prevents ads from even downloading. Probably the biggest performance booster you can get. Free, no ads. This is one of the killer apps that will hook you on Android.
System Tuner - you won't believe the crap that starts up automatically. Fix it with this free app (minor ads). Pro is worth it.
AnkiDroid - Can't believe it's free w/o ads. Flashcards app to study nearly anything, many study decks available. Better than the $25 Anki iPad app which I bought.
Cool Reader - ebook reader, lots of useful features. Free and ad-free.
Aldiko Pro - slick reader, works with most formats, worth the $3.
Apps I'd like but which don't work yet:
Moon+ Reader (incl Pro) is broken on Jelly Bean, doesn't show text. When it works I'll buy Pro again.
Encore Learning Platform - free, no-ads, flashcards app.
If I could have clicked the "Thanks" icon 10 times for supplying us with this great database I would have. But I couldn't so THANK YOU X 10!

I was able to add a few in.
So, for some reason I can only pull this doc up at work. Now my problem is I can see where it's seperated into sections, but the apps aren't organized into their respective sections, they are in alphabetical order. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Josh

(UPDATING)Must Have Apps, Games & Widgets For Galaxy SII

Hiya everyone. This type of thread isn't new to XDA as it's on almost every device fora, but I decided to bring it over here aswell.
I'm going to share the most useful applications I have on my S2 and would like you to share more must have apps to add to this list.
Check out post #2 for some of the best games on Android and check out post #3 for some of the best widgets we can use.
1. Power Toggles - This is simply the best toggle app around. Able to toggle lots of main features.
2. Picsay Pro - This is a brilliant photo editor, but limited compared to some others. My personal favourite.
3. Rotation Locker - WYSIWYG. It locks your screen to either Portrait or Landscape. Really useful on some apps.
4. XDA App ICS Blue Colours/Themed - Our favourite forum app but with a complete red or blue colour theme thanks to our own Whiskey103
5. Home Switcher - Switches between any Home Launchers you have on your device.
6. Memory Usage - Lists all current apps and tells you current memory usage, peak memory usage and priorities.
7. PicSpeed Wallpapers - Over 170,000 HD wallpapers of all different genres, for our device.

9. Desktop Visualizer - Makes shortcuts or widgets using a custom image and can be used to make custom icons.
10. Wave Control - Execute actions by waving your hand over the screen.
11. Solid Explorer - Solid Explorer is a file manager which with two independent panels is the most attractive, eye catching and intuitive file manager for the Android.
12. PowerAmp - The most powerful music player there is.
13. SuperSU - SuperSU is the Superuser access management tool of the future. *ROOT*

15. AirDroid - For moving files between your PC and phone using WIFI
16. QuickPic - An alternate photo gallery app, incase you don't like the default

20. Photo Timeline - Lets you create a time elapsed sequence of anything you want with your camera and then play as a slideshow
21. AVG Anti-Virus Pro - AntiVirus Pro is a mobile security solution that helps protect your mobile device from viruses, malware, spyware & online exploitation in real-time
22. Aldiko Book Reader - Read and download thousands of eBooks right on your Android phone or tablet.
Download one of the best Android eBook Readers now!
23. Dropbox - Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere.
24. Cerebus - Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device.
25. ScreenCast - ScreenCast records your phones screen at high frame rates and makes a HQ MPEG4 video with audio.
26. WidgetLocker - Simply the most powerful lockscreen replacement app there is.
27. Watchdog Task Manager - Allows you to see which apps are acting up and need closing.
28. Skype - Free voice and video calls + IM to anyone else on Skype, whether they're on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac etc.

30. ProCapture - Capture photos and panoramas like a pro with the ProCapture camera app. ProCapture adds advanced features to the Android camera experience. Multiple advanced camera shooting modes supported: Timer, Burst, Reduced Noise, Wide Shot and Panorama.
31. Appy Geek - Appy Geek brings you all the leading tech news sources from the industry in a cleverly laid-out user interface, including TechRadar, Gizmodo, T3 Magazine, The Next Web and more... Staying at the cutting edge of innovation has never been so easy!
32. VLC for Android Beta - VLC media player is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most multimedia files as well as discs, devices, and network streaming protocols.
33. Dolphin Browser - Dolphin browser is the fastest, smoothest and best mobile browser, in my opinion. With Sonar voice recognition, gestures and multiple add-ons, this browser just gets better and better.
34. imo - Multiprotocol IM client - Support for Facebook Chat, Google Talk, Skype, MSN, ICQ/AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber, Hyves, VKontakte and Steam
35. BetterBatteryStats - With BBS, you can analyze the behaviour of your phone, find out which apps are causing major battery drain and measure the effect of corrective actions.
36. app2zip - App2zip allows you to backup apps to a flashable zip file through CWM or TWRP. Simply choose which apps you want and then click GO.
37. Shorten - Simply a URL shortener which saves a lot of time rather than going onto the internet each time.
IF YOU'VE FOUND THIS POST, OR ANY OF THESE APPS USEFUL, BE SURE TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!
If you know any unique or useful applications, games or widgets please suggest them in this thread so I can check them out. If I think they're good, I'll add them to the list.
*NOTE* - If you wish to know what the best app is regarding your needs, ask in this thread and I, or others, will be able to help you out.
So, if you want to know what the best music player is, ask here and I'll suggest the best ones available.
If there are any apps that you feel shouldn't be in this list, please let me know and suggest a better one. I can then test it and maybe add it to the list, in place of the other one.
If you don't suggest a better app, I won't change anything.
[INFO]Must Have Apps For Galaxy SII
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.
[INFO]Must Have Apps For Galaxy SII
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.

New to Android on tablets, need so suggestions

Hi everyone!
I've had a 7" galaxy tab before but didn't use it much, and this was GB days. So the N7 is obviously a huge step up. Basically I needed some suggestions for apps on this. I'm going to be traveling for almost two weeks and I know I'm not gonna have internet access. So basically I'm looking for some nice puzzle games, and some video/audio apps.
Suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
First off, which model did you get? 16gb or 32gb?
My suggested games;
GTA 3
GTA Vice City
The Bards Tale
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Asphalt 7
Rayman Jungle Run
Granny Smith
Predators
Minecraft Pocket Edition
wait, puzzle games?
My Suggested Games;
Cut the Rope.
Angry Birds Star Wars
Great Big War Game (Not really puzzle..)
Jetpack Joyride is free so try that as well.
I got the 32GB model, got a pretty sweet deal in which it came to $210 including tax and shipping. Anyway, I'll give some of those games a try.
What would be the best media player? I put VLC on here but its a little buggy (obviously expected on a Beta).
Can't go wrong with MX player.
Loving vice city and a big second for bards tale its a great game that shows off the Nexus very well.

I am obsessed currently with CrossMe Color. I got it as an Amazon FAOTD a while back but never really played because my phone scree was too small and gave me a headache. The N7 screen is a great size.
Also, Jelly Defense. Again, a FAOTD, but worth the price of the paid app. Also easier to play on a larger screen.

If you looking for a video player for you nexus. I would go with 'MX player' it plays just about all formats.
If you are into RPG games at all try looking at Horn but it's not free.

You said you'll be travelling with no Web (the horror!). I'm a reader so I'll suggest some stuff around that:
- Amazon Kindle, duh
- Zite (online, I'll explain)
- Flipboard
- Taptu
- Pocket
Now, twice a day flip through the 3 news apps real quick not reading anything but headlines. Anything that catches your attention save to Pocket to read later when you have no Internet.

{TOOL}{APKtoTV} Convert any app apks and games apk to a tv app!

i have been browsing around trying to find out how to get any app to show up on the stock nvidia sheild tv.
i have came across this windows tool called {APKtoTV}. which you can convert any apk to make the apps show up on the homescreen as a tile.
i thought i would share my finding so everyone else can enjoy this tool.
so here is the link to this page where i found it at.
LINK - http://nvidiashieldzone.com/shield-android-tv/apk2tv/\
ENJOY!
HERE IS MY VIDEO PROOF OF THIS TOOL WORKING BY SHOWING YOU MY HOMESCREEN SO YOU CAN SEE THIS WORKS.
https://youtu.be/VO3sAdKdebE
This is a sweet little tool. I used it to get WatchESPN on my Shield TV with a better looking banner until ESPN finally releases an Android TV version. If they ever do...
Nice share reading it I see what it doesn't do
What it Does NOT Do
- Fix portrait apps to be landscape
- Add Shield Controller support or alter how Shield Controllers work with the app
- Fix, alter or otherwise remove the "touch only" requirements for apps
- Make an app work that doesn't work through regular sideloading
- Fix any bugs or glitches with the app running under Android TV (in fact, may introduce new ones)
What I use to force apps to be in landscape mode is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331514
Cheers
Nice Find :good:

This app works for me- for the most part. I've converted some apps that were already installed on my shield but were not showing up in the main launcher. They converted fine however I lost mouse support for them so it wasn't really a benefit as I couldn't use the app properly. I'll keep fooling around with other apps but for now just forcing apps to go in landscape mode and launching from the sideload launcher is fine.
I'm on Windows 10, it complains about not finding java on startup (even though it's installed) and comes up with errors when saving..
I find a website have many apps for TV
www.apk4.tv
The app doesn't seem to be updated anymore... but seems some one has made an on-line tool doing pretty much the same: http://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de/
