Default Android Apps

I recently installed 2 Android apps that I like a lot.
  1. Everything Home (Beta)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfEcHi3tmKY It is a dynamic home launcher. Works exactly as advertised and better than I expected. The search results and app links are fantastic. I have been using it for 3 days now and I love it.
  2. Animated Widget

    I replaced the standard android contact/quick dial links with this. Much nicer looking and works exactly as you want it to. Setting it up is fairly easy but there are a lot of options and if you customize it a lot it can take a while.

I am also using the minuum keyboard for everyday typing I like it...but for passwords, usernames, and websites it sucks. I haven't found a single onscreen keyboard that is perfect yet.

What android apps do you guys like?

Google Now - best thing ever.. Definitely a unknown and underutilized app to most people.

CamScanner: I highly recommend this is you ever need to keep record of a receipt/document or even sending a signed document. It auto sizes the picture and sets the image quality perfectly. From there you can convert it to PDF and email it off or save it.

Chromecast: Picked up 4 chromecasts recently...best thing ever.

FolderSync: Auto backup pictures to various sources such as Google Drive, awesome

ES File Explorer: great for capturing APK's

Spotify
Skitch
Craigslist Mobile
Google Drive
Google Keep
Google Currents
Google Voice

Plus some others for work stuff..

Stopwatch and Timer - Used for timing mash,, boil, vorlauf etc. during brewing (used so often it has ghosted my screen )
Homebrew Calculator - Calculating various volumes for additions etc. during brewing
Skype - Pretty obvious what this is
Ustream - Webcasting

Those are the ones I use pretty regularly

Looking for an app to unlock my phone while on Bluetooth. SVoice will not work with the pattern lock on, and it is required for work. So when I am driving and trying to use voice, I have to pattern unlock my phone in order to use handsfree....

I tried bluetooth and wifi unlocker, but it is not compatible with pattern lock screen.
