hello everyone Michael here with the daily note 2 youtube channel and welcome to
viewers requested video on what's on my samsung galaxy note 2
/android
the first page and a half is all about samsung and google apps from about
here
to the middle of the 3rd page
it is all carrier installed apps also known as and in the past i would
have rooted to get rid of all those apps
but with the samsung galaxy note 2
i feel it is not worth my trouble
and from about here to the end of this page it is all korea specific apps
that i use all the times for transportation or communication it's
really begin with the 4th page here
these are the apps I would consider utility
or all business apps
benchmarking apps, Quadrand, AnTuTu, Flashlight
flashlight gives you access to this widget
they could put on
and then when you hit it
it just turns into the flishlight i'm sure you should have that by now
and this one
is
free widgets for
for different time zones
just like look of that wifi analyzer
you could
if you're in a congested area where there are so many wifi signals
for example i turned this on
and you could see there're just
a cluster of fun going on here
you could use this to optimize your wifi if you have a lot of drop connections
these are RDP or VNC
type apps here this for Screen Filters I've covered many times OS Monitor
gives you a list of all the running processes so
some of these have apps even though they're not running they have extra
processes that run in the background
and sometimes they consume a lot of power
i like looking at that sometimes when i see a sudden deep in my
bettery
whenever I install a lot of apps
Rotation Locker i've covered many times but it lets you do
it lets you do this
you could
go to landscape mode
and i just wanna let you know that
4.1.1
when you did a rotation locker
rotation locker it had these glitch
parts of the bottom screen whenever you tried to move it
it looks like 4.1.2 fix that
let's get back let me turn off the rotation locker here
and Nova Launcher
it is a great launcher
probably
even a little bit faster performing than touchwiz but
kinda like Page buddy when i pull out the S pen so
i still have it installed because i still want to look at it
HD Widgets
I just installed for this specific weather widgets
ES File Explorer let's make explorer all the files on my android but i don't use
it for that i use it for this when you click on this top left icon
there
you could click on LAN and you could see all the computers
on your
home network or
work network
I access all my computer file shares through here
windows file shares
this is UPnPlay it is DLNA client that i've covered
Colors
that you select
colors for the back ground for example I set it to all blacks
so that you can see
the names of these apps for
this a particular video
if you want to get
specific colors
this app
Colors is great
let's see Headset Button controller
I had a video where you could do a 3 tap on your ear piece
it would bring up google now when
the phone was locked in your pocket
and the Screen Off was to a company that you could do a 4 taps
and it would shut off the
phone screen
this is a FTP server that i've covered
Photo Reader
is OCR or optical character recognition
for example you could have
a page of text and then you can take a
picture of it and it'll render that into text
unfortunately after i updated to 4.1.2 or maybe not related
it has another problem
but i can't run this more for some reason
Apk Share
it lets you backup
apps
into APK without being rooted
this
External Keyboard
tool
for example if you have a
bluetooth keyboard connected and you try typing on it
and you don't have samsung keyboard connected
you
get this warning saying we need to switch to samsung keyboard for this to
work
and supposedly this app fixes that problem and gives you a lot of
other features such as re-mapping keys on your bluetooth keyboard
I'm still evaluating that before I make a purchase
AntiVirus i'm using avg
NFC Task Launcher is great I did a full episode on that
for the NFC tags
WiFiKeyboard
I did a full episode on that as well
literally you could
use your computer keyboard on a computer to start typing on here and it works
great
I did a full episode on that so check it out
Mobizen this is an app
that Mike from Maine
has recommended and i've been meaning to do an episode on this app
for literally 2 months now but
I keep forgetting
hopefully I will cover that
but if you haven't tried this app
check Mobizen out it is a
very cool app
this one Tape-a-Talk Pro
you could record your voice
in a
different beat rates and a different incoding I feel you could get a really high
quality recording from your mike
with this app
Evernote i'm sure you guys
are all familiar with. Skitch i'm not very happy with because it does not work
well with the S pen
this app here
you only get this after you install flash on here and if you haven't
installed Adobe flash player on your galaxy note 2 make sure you install
that
because
i'm surprised when i read the comments of the video i posted on how to
install flash on galaxy note 2 and how
straightforward and easy it is and people
all say they weren't aware that this was possible
I'm surprised to hear that
I guess
they are being told that flash doesn't work on here because of jelly bean
but it absolutely works so make sure install flash on here it makes the galaxy
note 2 better
next one is Kingsoft Office as you noticed
i've evaluated about five different office apps
and this is the only one i have installed on here
next i have SwiftyKey installed on here and i would say SwiftyKey
has a
better character prediction and it really feels like it's
reaching into your brain pulling out the words that you want to type before you
type the first letter
it is better than samsung keyboard in that regard
but it does not support
handwriting recognition with the S pen
so i keep switching back and forth
let's see uTorrent Remote it lets me control torrents running on my
computer it's called micro torrent
it is a full-blown
torrent client
on the galaxy note 2 it actually works well but I don't use it because i feel it's a
unnecessary
use of my data and my
processor why not just download it and transfer it
this app AppSales notifies you when a popular app goes on sale you could
also tell it to watch apps
so that you get notified when that particular app goes on sale
it has saved and
wasted a lot of my money I get into that in just a little bit
and amazon Appstore
if you have access to that they give you a free premium app a day
a lot of apps are not really that premium but sometimes it surprises you
make sure you get that
so these are the games i have installed on the galaxy note 2 I just
want to put you out to this app called Jet Set Radio it is the old
it is a paid app like 2 to 5 dollars but samsung apps's
giving away for free as a promotion
you might want to check that out and
to be honest i haven't had time to play most these game because i just got them
using the
app sales app i was notified that most of these were selling for a dollar so I just
snatched them all out
these four in the middle are not paid games
they're just free ones that
it seem to be offering
just in case you're wondering what my internal storage looks like after i install all
that stuff in there
you could see that all my 64GB samsung galaxy note 2
it only started out with 52.75GB
I have about 4GB left
I also have a 64GB external SD card in here as well
you can see i have about
45GB of
pictures
and movies and TV shows and music on here
so other pages my other games and
they're more of the casual variety
and some of these games are very old
but this game here if you're having to be watching this video
on the day i'm posting it
it's free on amazon app store today
it is a very cool app I just got the chance to play with it and
it is really you should check it out
you could see I have two versions of Plants Vs Zombies
one from amazon app store one from
google play
I really love that game I probably finished this game about
50 times
so moving on i want to show you my media consumption and media creation apps
this app specifically
is google play music and if you
are not using this i would highly recommend that you do it if you have a
lot of mp3
they let you store up to
20,000 mp3s
on their cloud for free
and that'll probably be all the mp3s that you've ever
collected in your life
it is free
the other one's PlayerPro and PowerAMP
I'm still deciding which one is a better music player
feels like PowerAMP the music is a little bit clear I do like the
transitions
let's see Netflix and Crackle
as i've stayed I'm in Korea but I might be able to use these two apps
by connecting my
android to VPN
maybe I'll do that episode on that later DICE Player used to be a really great
video player and it still really is maybe one of the fastest but i think
the video player has a lot of features that I like so
using the standard video player now
SketchBook is a professional great drawing app that works for the S pen
they also make PixIr and Pixlr Express it is
a much like instagram but it lets you say the pictures in a much higher
resolution so you might like it for that
this app Vignette is also like instagram but it is more artistic so if you
like instagram
instagram type apps
I've tried maybe a dozen of them I would say these three are
top 3 when it comes to very
quick photo rendering apps
and this Posing App
if you ever want some photography tips
this app pretty much has all in there and they're very straightforward
and i would highly recommend them if you're looking to improve your
photography
and
AfterFocus I did an episode on that
PS touch
is an app
they only sell for tablets but i was able to
download it online it's like the only app I have on here
that I've download with the APK for
it is only because they don't sell it to me
I would easily pay there
15 dollars or whatever because it is absolutely
worth that price
because it gives you a lot of the
photoshop capabilities such as working with
shadows and highlights
there really is no replacement and none of other photo
editing apps
even
can't scratch the surface of what this app can do
once again it is a
tablet app
things the buttons and text will be very small but
since you have S pen it actually works really well
I've emailed them about
saying that they should offer it
for sale and it works great on the galaxy note 2 so let's hope that happens
this is the last page by the way these apps are all
apps that I got from samsung apps
not all
i had some apps previously in there but these are all apps that
just downloaded them to evaluate and i've done episodes for
all four these apps on top
I haven't run a lot of these but
I checked out AmazingNote you might wanna look into that
it is maybe
the opposite
spectrum of the Moleskin app
Moleskin app very stylish and very simple
AmazingNote
it seems to have every option and possibility in there but it's
not stylish it
almost looks
amateurish but it does have a lot options
you might want to look at into that
all these apps are found on samsung apps
that is the end of this episode
the person Sebastian that
requested this video also requested I should
do an episode to update when I show you here every two weeks or months so
hopefully within that time i'll get some more interesting apps to talk
about
