Android must have apps

[Anduril]

Lookout Security has always been one of the top ones. Great features like backup, locating and setting off a lost phone. And of course, clean UI.

Ravensword: Shadowlands - only played a few minutes but already looks to be one of the most ambitious RPGs on a mobile platform. Gameplay/graphics are very Morrowind-ish. Super impressive so far.

For poop breaks, I would recommend the following games:
- 10000000 - Puzzlequest-type game.
- Word Hero - Live Boggle-type game, where you battle dozens of players at a time. Ranked from bronze up to diamond.
- NemoNemo Picross - Standard Picross game. Of all the Picross games I've tried, this one has the most logical gameplay.

Also been playing Final Fantasy Dimensions. Was on sale for $10 a couple weeks ago. Just an awesome JRPG throwback game.

Torque

If you've got a nice car and want an easy way to figure out fast it is, or you have a piece of crap that keeps breaking down, this app is for you. It works with a Bluetooth ODB2 reader (I have the highy recommended ELM 327) to send information about your vehicle to your phone. You can customize the gauges it displays and check codes. It's fun and a handy tool.

Definitely worth it, I have had Torque for awhile now and it's paid for itself many times over. I have used it to diagnose and repair about 10 different cars now.

Tasker is now available for $1.99. Just got it. Now to figure out how to use it.

Amazing app when you put the time into learning what it can do. Things like automatically turning on and off wifi depending on where you are like leaving home, silencing your phone when you get to work, are just tips of the iceberg.

Does that Elm 27 ODB scanner give you code info like if your "service engine soon" light is on? Might be worth picking up.

[DownInFlames]

Yes, it shows you any codes on your vehicle's computer.

Eufloria is an awesome RTS game i've been playing. Starts off simple but quickly gets more complicated.

Probably should have posted this up earlier or maybe have its own thread, but Humble Bundle Mobile's 2nd week of sales has a number of games on sale. A classic like Plants & Zombies, as well as a more modern reverse tower defense, Anomoly Korea.

There's a beginners guide on XDA for Tasker, you might have to search for it but I believe it is in the general Android section under games and apps.

I don't use it personally but keep thinking I should as I have had it for year or more now and it just sits there.

3DMark available for Android.

Beat this. I dare you.

Google Now (Search) received an update for individual card settings and shipping tracking for specific carriers. If anybody gets a card for incoming shipping, would be awesome to share who is shipping it,.

Edit: And searching things via taking pictures too is now available.

Wow nice score! I could only get 9485 on my Nexus 4. What ROM are you running? Is it OC'd?

How do you do the picture search?

Nope, just stock 4.2.2. Not OC'd or anything. It was a warranty replacement that UPS had just delivered and hadn't installed anything on it yet.

I'm in desperate need of a way of setting shorthand reminders. As in being able to input (or better yet, speak):

"Remind me to talk myself out of switching back to iOS just for reminders at 7pm"

The expectation is that this creates some type of push notification with that text, that fires at 7pm.

I've asked before in this thread but I have a hard time wrapping my head around this being totally impossible on an Android device.

Wunderlist is so close but I can't stand the 10 or so taps it takes just to enter a reminder time.

Any suggestions?
