I really enjoy finding the diamonds in the rough. I've decided to post my findings. It would be great if you could share too. Just don't SPAM! This is for obscure or otherwise unknown wonders, not main stream.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chimbori.hermitcrab&hl=en <--Internet wrapper for social media, it has a lot of potential.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.color.colornamer&hl=en <-- Point your camera at anything and it will tell you the color name. Also can create any color imaginable

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estmob.android.sendanywhere&hl=en <-- send anything, anywhere to any device. Amazing.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.derek_s.hubble_gallery&hl=en <--- A definite favorite. Amazing photos. All available for download. Makes great wallpaper.

That's it for now. Stay tuned.

I suggest adding kitwall to this list. It's a great app for a PTA or a teacher or a coach or a campaign manager to communicate with his/her group. The app does not allow the group to talk among themselves so it's perfect for the organizer to stay on topic. It allows the group members to talk with the grp admins. It's free.

If you find the cross-chat among the group a nuisance, this is the app, I think. Intend to use it for my volunteer group.

I don't get the color app. Can't you just look at the object and tell what color it is?

I'm adding one of my favorites here...

PCRadio - awesome little app but fully functional and runs clean...live streaming from literally thousands of radio stations all over the world...has a favorites playlist feature...you can filter by country, genre, artist, etc....and a LOT more...and it's free!:thumbsupdroid:

P.S. Oh and I almost forgot...if you listen to music via headphones with an inline mic, you can control the music via the inline mic button with this app.

Notification Toggle allows you to put shortcuts on your notification screen.

Shortcuts to your favorite apps are now just one swipe away...

Yes, I use it. Forgot about this one. Plus I can theme it to match my Quick Settings panel.

Yeah, but sometimes I have trouble discerning between "lichen" and "light moss green" ;)
