Useful Apps You May Not Know About

[No1VIPER]

Here is a list of some useful apps. I've not included Xposed or Xposed Modules, as there is a separate thread for those. I've also tried to make this list with apps that people may not know about. Hence why things such as Greenify, Titanium Backup and other well known apps are not in the list.

- Velis Auto Brightness



- Twilight


- Popup Widget 3



- Snap Swipe Drawer



- Root Essentials



- Open GApps



- TVShow Time, TV show guide



- Disa (Unified Messenger Hub)

Has anyone else got any useful apps, that people might not know about? If so share them here.

Well, I'm not sure how useful it will be to everyone, but for me, working as system admin it's a must have.

DriveDroid [ROOT] - it's an app that essentially turns your smartphone into a bootable USB drive. Combined with a big SD card (eg. 128GB) you can store tens of different bootable OS images (Linux, Windows, even portabe Windows to Go) and always be ready to boot into OS that you need (Live images, installations, diagnostics, ...)

Note: I've tested this on rooted Apollo Lite and it works without great!


If i think of anything else, I'll add it here.

Just found this:

Empty Folder Cleaner



It works perfectly. Great for cleaning up all those unless, empty folders left over from uninstalled apps etc.

For those who are looking for a fingerprint enabled app locker:

FingerSecurity



I've tried quite a few different apps, but this is the best one I've found.

It also allows you to lock specific parts of apps only, if you want.

Rocker Locker

This, this is what I needed.

You know what, we should make a request thread so people like me can post their problems and someone like Viper can post an app that will fix the problem.

bl3nto Feel free to start one if you want :thumbup:

I'll do my best and see what I can come up with. It'll be fun to see what people request.
