My go-to are as follows.

  1. Notification Toggle
  2. Silence Premium
  3. Whistle Camera (for those hard to take photos)
  4. Llama (not using it at the moment though)
  5. I would say Light Flow but no point until devs get the LED working.
  6. Oh, I'm always using Nova launcher

There are several "Whistle Camera" apps. Which one do you recommend?

And Thanks for the heads up on LOR Alex, very cool. :thumbsupdroid:

Oh, yeah. I forgot. I downloaded a few and found this one to be the best for me. That was before their last big update and I haven't used it since the update. It looks to have many more features which could be good or bad.
