Aix Weather Widget
It doesn't look too nice on the app's site, but you can customize all the colors and background or grid, to suit your screen design style. I cycle and do other outdoor activities, very accurate rain prediction widget.
AN ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE -
DashClock Widget.
It's a lock screen widget, which comes with many free plugins, which can display weather, missed calls, next alarm or your detail battery statistics. This widget is the reason why I quickly moved from S3 to S4. I just needed 4.2.2. android to install it
I love photography, especially lapse photo. For that I use super cool app, call
LapseIt Pro. There is a free version but with limited video size. Really neat and highly customizable app. LOVE IT.
Endomondo - sport app. Comes in two versions, free and pro. The free version is very comprehensive. Track your runs, walk, (and hundreds of other sport activities), calories count, all king of speed average stats, GPS trail, with fantastic web interface as well, so you can view your stats and tracks in your browser. So many features, I don't know where to start.
Dots - be warned! Addictive little game.
I race cars on weekend. In all my cars I have a little Bluetooth ODB2 dongle connected to my ODB2 port, which is connected to
Torque app on my Note2. The app's site has really lousy screen shots. But the good thing is, you can design your own dials, use own font and design needles (color and length). You can record your race on video and have overlay of map with GPS location and overlay with your travel path, showing you every meter of your drive, fuel efficiency, g-force, turbo pressure, fuel consumption, engine temp, and hundreds of other engine readings. You can built your own display, whether you want dials, graphs just text columns, and fancy background. Multiple screens, each with different set of readers. Very highly customizable. A good dongle for the car to work with that app, will cost from 30 to 50$. If you into automotive sports, a MUST HAVE app.
Tasker - Huahuahuhahua (evil laugh).
I don't even know what to say. Tasker can control nuclear plant, and do more things than Nasa's computers. This is an app I use to turn my phone into super-mobile, and to sent my iphone using friend back to the stone-age, where iphone belongs.
Tasker automates your phone based on time, date, condition, state, location, battery level and accessory attached. I will give you an example. You can set a chain of actions based on location, so when I approach tall, it texts my wife that I'm on the way back. When I get to my car park, it will automatically off the Bluetooth, ON my wifi, check my mail for the last time, off the drive mode, stop playlist (synced with the car's audio), off the ringer (I don't pick up work calls at home), keep notification at 30% volume. Also, stop syncing mail and set a profile which will only allow certain people to message me. Anyone else will get auto reply, different reply based on date (Sunday or weekday), different based on time, morning, noon and night. The moment I leave home, beyond 300 meters, all the settings get reverted back.
And it can do so much more than that. There are many plugins which can push it even further than that, like AutoVoice, written by a friend of mine, Joao.

Ok, I'm done. Sorry for the essay. Couldn't help it
