APP WISE

Free Apps that make a difference

1. ANDROID SYSTEM INFO
To really understand what makes the smartphone tick, you need this neat little app. It is overflowing with info on all aspects of the phone, and you will gain insights that no other app could offer.
For instance, only after checking the CPU utilisation per app did I realise that the Avast Antivirus that I had installed was sucking up 50% of the CPU power AT ALL TIMES. What this means is that the CPU was running at 100% of the 800 MHz all the time. Impact : lower life expectancy. A quick uninstallation later, I was comforted to find that the CPU was now idling at 33% most of the time..


2. CLIPPER FREE
Copy-Paste operation is a big headache on a SM, especially if it has a small screen. While this app doesn't help in the Select phase of the process, it does help in the Pasting process. By keeping track of latest 20 copied content (the paid version doesn't have this restriction), Clipper ensures that one doesn't have to worry about losing the clipboard contents while changing apps or even rebooting the SM.

3. TASKSWITCHER
For first timers on an SM the ordeal of switching tasks is annoying. TASKSWITCHER is the leanest app that successfully brings back the beauty of the ALT - TAB combo to Android. Just install it and set it to launch when the Home Button is pressed. To switch across apps, just press the Home button (once assigned) and you are presented with the list of all running apps, one click and you are into another app! It's that simple. I haven't tested it with other launchers, but with GO Launcher there seems to be a tight fit - a single press of the home button gets the Running Apps, touch the Home button Again and you are on the Home Page (if you want to launch another app).
