Utilities

Uninstall Master

If you're an app addict then you probably find yourself constantly adding and removing apps from your Android device. As the name suggests, Uninstall Master lets you quickly remove applications and also keeps an eye on the total amount of storage available on your device. Just because it looks a bit bland doesn't mean it's not enormously useful.

Opera Mini 7

If you're on a data diet, Opera Mini 7 is the fastest, most backward-compatible mobile browser on the market. You won't get Flash support or all the features in Dolphin Browser HD, but Opera's servers compress webpages so much that Mini only requires one-tenth of the bandwidth of a traditional mobile browser.

Swiftkey Keyboard

Swiftkey is a truly impressive keyboard replacement, packing a smart keyboard that suggests the next word before you type it. The company boasts that its language model can sometimes let you dash off whole sentences without typing, though it includes a Swype-like input method called Flow.

Tasker

Tasker is…ingenious. It lets you quickly program commands for your phone, like automatically turning on your music when you plug in earphones, or automatically turning off Wi-Fi when you put your device face down. Yes, I totally buy its tagline: "turn your smartphone into a geniusphone."

X-Plore

X-Plore is a great way to look at an Android's file system, and its many added features are solid bonuses. Use it to perform file operations like copy, rename, or create new folders. With X-plore, users can access Picasa albums, browse SQlite database files, zip and unzip files, and explore shared folders on Windows servers and PCs.

aDownloader

There are lots of BitTorrent clients out there, but I like the old favorite aDownloader because it's easy to use and relatively crash-free. It also has a killer feature: the ability to pause and resume downloads. I haven't encountered any file-size limits, either.
