New essential Android apps thread

Ah! Sorry I can't help there I'm afraid, my dad has a G3, so I can understand how you feel. I offer my condolences :o

Right, getting a bit cheesed off with ads in Facebook and Twitter now, they're actually starting to effect my experience! Any decent apps out there that can save me? For free ideally :)

Also, something that's not going to drain the battery...

Thanks.

Are you rooted? Otherwise you have to run everything through a proxy.
 
I just happened across the Tony Hawk soundtrack on my Google Play.. love it. Bringing back so many memories :D Is there a port to Android? Or a decent alternative? I can't seem to see anything that looks good.
 
Anyone recommend an app that will only allow my phone to ring if the number is known in my contacts?
Would still allow the caller to leave a voicemail if it was a legit call just not ring or show up on the phone.

Is this just a dream or is there an app that would do this?

Truecaller can instantly direct calls in a known spam list, blocked numbers and private numbers numbers to voicemail. Works pretty well.
 
I have the Sony Movie Creator app on my Z2, and really like it, it makes neat little movies from the photos I take. I have a friend who has a Galaxy Mini S4, I think the Sony app only works on Sony phones? What is the best alternative, it would be good if it edited photos and movies together, not just a slideshow type app.

Also, if I root and custom ROM my Z2, can I still keep the Sony app or download it again separately? I'll be rooted then so presumably that's ok?

I suppose your friend can try the APK: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-m...movie-creator-3-2-a-0-4-android-apk-download/

Requires KitKat minimum.

It may or may not work if it depends on certain Sony APIs that may only be inb Sony based ROMs. If you use an AOSP based ROM (such as CM) then it may not run either.

There isn't much unfortunately - there's a Tony hawks vert game that's ok but not th:ps by a long way. True skate is ok, but hard work. Mike V skateboard party had a bit shoddy controls but haven't tried 2 yet.

It's not quite the same but touchgrind bmx is good fun.

You can also emulate the Ps one but it's a bit clunky... Might have to give it a go again :)

Cheers - Reading up don't quite like the idea of the address book upload. Seems this goes a bit more than just not ringing for unknown numbers and actually telling you who everyone is.
