[Music]

play00:01

after featuring well over 1,000

play00:04

applications on my channel over the past

play00:05

9 years I don't think it'll come as that

play00:08

big of a surprise when I tell you that

play00:10

I've also uninstalled a lot of

play00:12

applications in that time as well and so

play00:14

it's safe to say that any application

play00:16

that does not get uninstalled well it

play00:19

must be pretty good right and so welcome

play00:21

to 20 Android apps that I cannot live

play00:24

without and just to clarify I know I

play00:26

made similar videos last year and the

play00:28

year before that but this list is filled

play00:30

with 20 completely unique applications

play00:33

not featured in either of those videos

play00:35

so with that being said let's dive

play00:37

in all right kicking things off with

play00:40

customization related apps and first up

play00:42

we have dual wallpaper and this is one

play00:45

of the first apps that gets installed on

play00:47

pretty much every phone that I use and

play00:49

that's because it lets me set up two

play00:51

different wallpapers that will switch

play00:53

automatically whenever the system theme

play00:54

changes meaning I can have a beautifully

play00:57

vibrant and bright wallpaper in the day

play00:59

and then one that doesn't blind me at

play01:01

night and there used to be way more apps

play01:04

that offered similar functionality but

play01:06

in my testing dual wallpaper is just

play01:08

about the only one that works reliably

play01:10

with Android 14 and then as for where

play01:13

I'm actually getting my wallpapers these

play01:15

days well that would be from my very own

play01:17

application that just recently launched

play01:19

Lumin walls now as someone who reviews a

play01:22

lot of phones I like to keep each review

play01:24

looking fresh by using different and

play01:26

unique wallpapers and up until just

play01:28

recently I was either using wallpap

play01:29

papers from the various packs available

play01:31

to purchase on my website or from random

play01:34

wallpaper apps available on the Play

play01:35

Store well now I've got my very own app

play01:38

that has thousands of walls available

play01:40

and it's also got in my humble opinion

play01:42

at least the best design and fluidity of

play01:45

any wallpaper app to go with as well and

play01:48

then as for which icon pack I'm using

play01:50

and trust me I didn't intend to blast

play01:52

you with self-promotion right from the

play01:53

get-go here but I genuinely use my very

play01:56

own drops icon pack for every phone I

play01:58

use these days this is an updated

play02:01

version of an old discontinued icon pack

play02:03

that I used to love using a few years

play02:05

back but this new and improved version

play02:07

has over 1,300 icons supported at the

play02:09

time of making this video and all of the

play02:11

icons are beautifully tiny with soft

play02:14

pastel colorways and it's a look that I

play02:16

am seriously obsessed

play02:18

with all right moving into some apps

play02:21

that I'm going to categorize as mod

play02:22

related apps and first up we have launch

play02:25

air14 but this isn't just any version of

play02:27

launch air14 this is a modded version

play02:29

version that actually replaces the stock

play02:32

system launcher without going into too

play02:34

much detail if you've got a phone with

play02:36

root access unlocked like my pixel 8 Pro

play02:38

is then you can actually install this

play02:40

modded version of launch a using the

play02:42

Magis manager app and in doing so it'll

play02:45

actually replace the pixel launcher to

play02:47

become the stock launcher itself and

play02:49

this means it gains full access to the

play02:51

gestal navigation system and that means

play02:54

I can customize my pixel phone as much

play02:56

as I like whilst also retaining all of

play02:58

those beautiful app over opening and

play03:00

closing animations at the same time this

play03:02

app is a serious must have install for

play03:05

any pixel phones that I'm using long

play03:07

term then we have a very very subtle

play03:10

little mod called Wi-Fi Qs this one does

play03:12

not require root access but again

play03:15

anytime I'm using a pixel phone I almost

play03:17

immediately find myself installing this

play03:19

app so that I can place this dedicated

play03:21

Wi-Fi toggle into my Quick Settings menu

play03:24

that means I can do away with Google's

play03:26

silly internet tile implementation and

play03:28

just have a simple Wi-Fi toggle that I

play03:30

can use to turn my Wi-Fi on and off just

play03:33

by tapping it I mean that's how it

play03:35

should work right and then another mod

play03:37

that I've become obsessed with using on

play03:39

my rooted pixel 8 Pro is actually just a

play03:41

tiny feature found within the pixel

play03:43

expert module this app actually allows

play03:46

for a huge range of customizations but I

play03:48

use absolutely none of them except for

play03:50

this brightness leveled flashlight tile

play03:52

option and enabling this lets me add an

play03:55

amazing slidable flashlight toggle to my

play03:58

Quick Settings menu and Google if you're

play04:00

watching this video this should be the

play04:02

default flashlight toggle implementation

play04:04

in future Android releases it is that

play04:06

damn good and then for any other mod

play04:09

related application that I use these

play04:10

days if they don't require root access

play04:13

then it's a very safe bet that they most

play04:15

likely use shizuku instead this is an

play04:18

app that basically acts as a middleman

play04:20

for any app that requires ADB

play04:22

permissions to be granted in that you

play04:24

essentially Grant it ad missions and

play04:26

then from that point onwards any

play04:28

supported apps that you use in the

play04:30

future that also require 8B permissions

play04:32

you can grant them right from your phone

play04:34

using shizuku instead and as you can see

play04:37

I've actually got six apps on my pixel 8

play04:39

Pro here that all use shizuku for at

play04:41

least one bit of functionality so yeah

play04:43

as you can see it's definitely an app

play04:45

that I cannot live

play04:47

without all right from there let's move

play04:50

into a bunch of tool-based applications

play04:52

and first cab off the rank is buzzkill

play04:55

and this is an app that I actually first

play04:56

featured on the channel several years

play04:58

ago now and then didn't use it for a

play05:00

while but at the start of this year I

play05:02

actually found myself starting to use it

play05:03

on pretty much every single phone that I

play05:05

own in short buzzkill is an app that

play05:08

allows you to customize how your phone

play05:10

handles notifications but for me I

play05:12

essentially use it on any made phone I'm

play05:14

using these days to mute all of the

play05:16

person C notifications sent to me from

play05:18

my two Google NES cameras during work

play05:20

hours and then I also install it on all

play05:22

of my older phones now to basically just

play05:24

mute every single notification that

play05:26

comes in so they don't keep getting

play05:27

doubled up then we have local send an

play05:30

app that I only just featured on the

play05:31

channel last month but one that I'm now

play05:33

using nearly every single day to put it

play05:36

simply this is basically like a better

play05:38

more Universal version of Quick Share

play05:40

and airdrop combined and then it works

play05:42

on literally any device yes Mac and

play05:45

iPhones included and it's just as fast

play05:47

and arguably more reliable for sharing

play05:50

files between devices that are connected

play05:52

to the same Wi-Fi network and then tap

play05:54

scroll is one of those apps that I

play05:55

install and set up almost immediately

play05:58

anytime I get a new phone and then just

play06:00

lives in the background serving one

play06:02

purpose beautifully you see anytime I've

play06:05

been scrolling through a long page

play06:07

within any given app and I found myself

play06:09

wanting to quickly scroll back to the

play06:10

top well with tap scroll activated I'm

play06:13

able to just tap my status bar and just

play06:15

like that the page Scrolls up

play06:16

automatically and I know iPhones do this

play06:19

natively but it's because I love that

play06:21

feature so much that I find myself

play06:23

absolutely needing to install it so I

play06:25

can use it on my various Android phones

play06:27

as well and another app in a simp an and

play06:30

that I just install it as soon as I set

play06:31

up a new phone and then let it do its

play06:33

thing in the background is Bluetooth

play06:35

volume manager I me you don't know how

play06:37

useful this app is until you start using

play06:40

it essentially for the longest time

play06:42

whenever I would hop into my car as soon

play06:44

as my phone's Bluetooth connected it

play06:46

would automatically start playing

play06:48

whatever I was last listening to usually

play06:50

a podcast but because my phone's volume

play06:52

was often set so low I'd miss like 20

play06:55

seconds of the podcast before realizing

play06:57

what was going on well with this app I

play06:59

just add any of my saved Bluetooth

play07:01

devices to this list then adjust the

play07:03

volume sliders as needed and that's it

play07:05

now whenever I connect to my car my

play07:07

phone's volume sliders go all the way up

play07:09

automatically meaning I no longer miss

play07:13

anything and speaking of audio just

play07:15

wanted to take a quick moment to talk

play07:17

about some amazing speakers that I've

play07:18

been using for the past couple of months

play07:20

which were actually from the sponsor of

play07:22

this video kef now if you've heard of

play07:24

the brand kef before then you'll

play07:26

probably be aware that they make some of

play07:27

the world's most premium and well-built

play07:30

speakers but their latest offering the

play07:32

LSX 2 LTS whilst they're still not what

play07:35

many would consider outrageously cheap

play07:37

they are a much more accessible set of

play07:40

speakers and yet despite their more

play07:42

affordable price tag they still utilize

play07:44

kef's impressive uniq driver array

play07:46

technology which places the Twitter

play07:49

precisely at the acoustic center of the

play07:51

base the mid-range cone which allows the

play07:53

speakers to disperse sound evenly

play07:55

throughout any room therefore

play07:57

eliminating that singular Sweet Spot

play07:59

issue that impacts most other speakers

play08:01

on the market plus the sound quality

play08:03

that they produce is on another level as

play08:05

mentioned I've been using them at my

play08:07

editing desk setup for the past two

play08:09

months and they sound incredible here

play08:11

have a

play08:13

listen I

play08:15

know life can

play08:21

be and you feel

play08:25

just to learn more about them or to pick

play08:27

up a pair for yourself use the first

play08:29

link down in the description

play08:32

below all right continuing with our

play08:34

tool-based apps and batter rang is

play08:36

another app that I've been using for the

play08:38

past few months to keep a track of

play08:39

battery life on some of the secondary

play08:41

smartphone devices I use here in the

play08:43

studio so I use both a Galaxy zold 3 and

play08:47

one of my nothing phones usually the

play08:48

phone 2 although more recently the phone

play08:51

2A for filming a bunch of videos and

play08:53

before I discovered batter rying I would

play08:55

often go to start using them only to

play08:57

find out that they had run out of charge

play08:59

and we're now dead well with batter rang

play09:01

set up on each device I now get a

play09:03

notification on my main device of choice

play09:06

letting me know when they're low on

play09:07

battery so I remember to go and charge

play09:09

them and I also get notified when

play09:10

they're fully charged as well so I don't

play09:13

accidentally overcharge them after that

play09:15

is a newer and this is an app that has

play09:17

gotten so many shoutouts on the channel

play09:18

over the past year that I've actually

play09:20

now lost count but that's just because I

play09:23

genuinely use it so often it's

play09:25

essentially a really powerful

play09:27

open-source app manager and Analyzer

play09:29

application

play09:30

and what's really great is that every

play09:31

single update keeps adding all of these

play09:33

amazing new features in but I tend to

play09:35

find myself using it for opening text

play09:37

files completing batch actions related

play09:39

to the apps installed on my phone plus

play09:42

often just open the app to Marvel at how

play09:43

fluid it is in fact I actually used it

play09:46

for inspiration when creating Lumina

play09:48

walls to try and emulate its level of

play09:50

fluidity and I think we got fairly close

play09:53

and then finally for the tool section we

play09:55

have obani and as you may have guessed I

play09:58

have a lot of apps in installed on my

play10:00

phone many featured in this video for

play10:01

that matter that are not downloaded from

play10:04

the Google Play Store and so panium is

play10:06

the app that I use to keep a track of as

play10:08

many of them as I can so that I can be

play10:10

notified whenever they release new

play10:12

updates and being able to track all of

play10:14

them in the one app is so so

play10:17

handy okay 34s through the list now and

play10:20

next up we have some Camera and Video

play10:22

based apps and these days whenever I'm

play10:25

using a phone that is not a Google pixel

play10:27

phone a Samsung phone or an iPhone then

play10:29

one app I absolutely must install is the

play10:32

gamp P now there are actually many many

play10:35

different versions of this app available

play10:37

and usually you want to find a version

play10:38

that's been specifically ported over for

play10:40

your device of choice but it essentially

play10:43

takes the best parts of the Google

play10:44

camera app that ships with Google pixel

play10:46

phones I.E the processing and makes it

play10:49

work on any non-google pixel phone for

play10:52

me it is pretty much the number one app

play10:54

that makes shooting photos with nothing

play10:55

phones a somewhat tolerable experience

play10:58

the only issue is that it can sometimes

play11:00

be really tough to find a version that

play11:02

supports all of the lenses then there's

play11:05

1 second every day and this is an app

play11:07

that I featured on the channel towards

play11:08

the start of this year and for a little

play11:10

while there I didn't think that I'd keep

play11:12

using it but lo and behold I actually

play11:14

now use it literally every day the idea

play11:17

is that you capture a 1 second video

play11:19

every single day and then collate all of

play11:21

your Clips within the app with the

play11:23

ultimate end goal being to essentially

play11:25

build a mini movie of sorts documenting

play11:28

every single day in any given length of

play11:30

time and as you can see I've now

play11:32

captured over 100 of these 1 second

play11:34

videos and I don't really have any plans

play11:36

on stopping anytime

play11:39

soon all right to wrap up the video I

play11:42

have four more apps to Showcase Each of

play11:44

which fall under separate categories so

play11:46

we're bundling them all together in a

play11:48

section called miscellaneous and first

play11:50

on this list is an app I use all the

play11:52

time called beeper in fact I actually

play11:55

think out of every single app on this

play11:56

list this is the one that I use the most

play11:59

cuz it's essentially replaced both the

play12:01

Google messages app and WhatsApp there's

play12:03

just something so nice about the

play12:05

interface and the fact that I have just

play12:07

one up now to manage the various message

play12:09

conversations in my life is seriously so

play12:12

convenient then we have bookmar and I'll

play12:15

admit my reading has taken a bit of a

play12:16

nose dive in the past couple of months

play12:18

but I do plan to get back into it and

play12:21

this is the app I use to track every

play12:23

book I've read so far I actually really

play12:26

dig the design and interface and it's

play12:28

got some neat animations cross the UI 2

play12:30

but I will say I kind of wish it didn't

play12:32

take so long to load whenever it first

play12:33

opens and I wish there was support for

play12:36

cross device syncing rather than the

play12:38

manual backup feature it currently uses

play12:40

I've actually also been using the chat

play12:42

GPT app a bunch lately thanks to its

play12:44

incredible voice chat functionality and

play12:47

usually I'll use it when I'm scripting

play12:48

videos and I'm trying to remember a

play12:50

popular phrase or euphemism and I'll

play12:52

just open up the app tap the chat icon

play12:55

and then start blabbing usually in a

play12:57

very nonsensical way and somehow it's

play12:59

always able to give me the exact phrase

play13:01

that I'm after I also obviously use it

play13:03

for other purposes too but that chat

play13:05

functionality is on another level and

play13:08

then finally today we have the shop app

play13:10

and I actually do not use this app at

play13:12

all for buying products but I do use it

play13:15

for tracking deliveries because every

play13:17

single product that I buy gets

play13:19

automatically detected and added to the

play13:20

app and so instead of having to dig

play13:22

through emails trying to find tracking

play13:24

information and so forth now I just open

play13:26

up the app tap this orders icon and

play13:29

that's it but there you have it 20

play13:31

Android apps that get installed pretty

play13:33

much straight away on nearly every

play13:35

single Android phone that I use if you

play13:37

enjoyed the video then a sub would be

play13:39

greatly appreciated but aside from that

play13:41

thank you all very much for watching and

play13:43

I will catch you later

play13:52

[Applause]
