New essential Android apps thread

Any apps that shows your background processes?
Oneplus One has been sluggish today where screen would just freeze for a second or two or delay my typing.
Want to know whats taking up all the resources.

Anyone tried the latest Dolphin browser beta? It seems to be running very smoothly for me now, previous beta versions was pretty unstable and laggy on some webpages but this update seems to have solved it. Themes are back as well which I missed from v10. Might use this as my main browser again, been using a combination of Firefox and Boat browser for the past couple of months (I like Firefox's adblock but some mobile sites feels better with a webkit based browser).

This is a handy add-on for it as well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile.onetap

According to Greenify, Cerberus is waking up BBC Weather. Anyone have any ideas why it would be doing that? :confused:

it's been waking up youtube for me apparently... i'm guessing it's not actually happening and greenify is screwing up, because when i start youtube, it has to load from scratch, not like it's cached.
 
latest Nova beta update has some sweet new animations. I like the app drawer sliding up one, swishy swishy.

Also this app is cool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.internet.speed.meter.lite&hl=en-GB

Shows network speeds and data use as well as WiFi+Signal in the pulldown:

Threads like this are pretty useless unless there is an up to date list in the opening post. :rolleyes:

Not really, it's a useful thread for finding out about new apps people are trying and what's been updated. One person having to keep an entire list updated is a lot of work.
 
The version currently on my phone feels like the same one when I was running Gingerbread way back when. That app has been long overdue an update. Nice to see though these stock apps now being Play apps. Android LMP is looking to be a decent update.
