I'm suddenly in the posession of 3 new smartphones, with a Samsung tablet on the way...
Don't ask: I agree, I don't need so many phones but two of them were for free, 1 was bought. (S5 + Zapo ZP990+ + Newman K2S v1.0.4)
This puts me in the unique position that I have to re-install many apps on each phone. Due to time constraints, I'm only doing the bare minimum. And I realized this was a good opportunity to share with you those programs.
So here they are... The programs I keep installing
Network Monitor Mini: shows network speed
Resource Monitor Mini: shows free RAM + CPU & Frequencies used. Be sure to enable the new Notification Panel! It kicks ass
Mobileuncle Tools
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileuncle.toolbox: new to me, but kicks ass: backup and restore your iMEI (MUST do for *anyone*)
Rooting: many options to get SuperUser. For my Newman K2S, I used this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276. Easiest ever!!
KALQ keyboard: alternative layout for fast finger ninjas ;p I have 2 versions on my S3, both with their ups and downs. Currently, Google Play only shows 1. I'd be VERY happy if someone found a better working version
