What are your "can't do without" Android apps?
Here are mine...
ES File Explorer File Manager
My favorite app of all time. So many uses, so powerful. Has a great multi window option, too.

Smart Launcher Pro 3
I have tried many home replacement programs over the years, this is the first one though that I have zero issues with. My phone is faster with it, and my screens are better organized. I love this program. There is a free version, too.

CM Security
A fantastic security system for your phone, so much more than just anti-virus. It even blocks known telemarketing numbers.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.security&hl=en
Clean Master
From the same people who make CM Security, this is a great app to have running on your phone. Lets you know when you need to close apps due to cool down your phone, or free RAM, control apps that auto start, etc etc. Way too many things for me to list.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&hl=en
SD Maid (Pro)
The ultimate in system cleaning. They have a free and a paid version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm&hl=en
PrinterShare Mobile Printer
The best printer app I have seen for Android, has never failed to work a network printer for me. There is a paid and a free version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamixsoftware.printershare&hl=en
WPS Office
One of the best Microsoft Office alternatives I have seen. And totally free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wps.moffice_eng&hl=en
Poweramp Music Player
Powerful music player for your phone. Paid and free versions available.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer&hl=en
VLC for Android
VLC has long been one of the best, most diverse free music / video players on the market for home computing, now you can get it on Android, too.

KitKat External SD Card Patch
If you haven't updated to the latest version of Android yet (5.0 Lollipop), then you still probably are having your access to your external SD card limited. This is a nice easy patch that solves the problem and restores full access for you.

So...does anyone else have some favorite apps they would like to recommend?

Colornote
I used this to make notes and checklists for all my projects
KeePassDroid
mobile version of KeePass, a nice secure password keeper
Google Drive
Super essential for me. Keep my google drive on my home pc, work pc, and phone all synced, so if I need a file on my phone I just drop in my drive folder on my pc, and wait for it to sync and there it is on my phone.
RAR
To open zips
OnStar Remote Link
Can start my car from my phone or send GPS coordinates
Facebook Pages Manager
While I hate to list a Facebook app as "essential", this one actually is for me, as they force you to download this app to administer any of your facebook pages for businesses, bands, etc and I currently have 5 different Facebook pages aside from my personal page

Colornote is a good app. I use an LG Notepad program as well G Tasks and Google Keep. I am surprised you don't use Keep because it syncs with all of your Google stuff. It also does color notes. Keep also lets you take pictures and voice recordings. You can also access your Keep notes directly from any web browser on any computer.

I use Google Drive also (and OneDrive, too) as well as the OnStar Remote Link...
I use something similar to KeePassDroid called Passdroid (and I use Roboform at home)

Ah, another one I use is IPCamViewer. Lets me input the login, IP, and ports I use for my DVR at home so I can view my security cameras. I have it restricted though so its only viewable from my wifi.

One of these days I will reconfigure the DVR to connections per IP, at the moment I am using custom, non-default ports and as well as unique logins even though I have it open to all IPs. Someone still has to figure out what non-standard port im using and get through the login. Wouldnt matter to much if someone were to bypass it though as my cameras only point to:
1: garage
2: front porch
3: back porch
4: attic
5: baby crib
I'm confident on the security, however webcams are a different story. You can secure them all you want but in the end the best security measure is to simply tape paper over the camera. And this is coming from a guy who does IT security all day.
