New Android User Looking for the best applications in a bunch of different categories

Hello I am a current iOS user looking to switch everything to android. I used to use android when I had a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. I was rooted and had custom roms at the time. I plan to wait for the One Plus Two and Surface Pro 4 to come out and make the switch. I am currently looking for the best applications for the platform as I am making a list for the all the ones I want to install. I will be rooted so add those too. I will list some basic categories so you can have a good idea of the types of apps but feel free to list apps outside the categories that I may not know of:
* calendar app
* mail app
* sports app
* twitter app
* widgets (calendar, sports, weathe, etc)
* launchers
* root specific apps
* games
* reddit app
* workout app
* movie app
* music app
* Xposed modules
* ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF
Thank you so much I am very excited to be switching back!

Welcome to Android Central!

For calendar, my wife uses Business Calendar Pro, which is pretty powerful.

Best app for general sports scores is still Yahoo Sports for me, but the interface is pretty boring (and not yet updated to Material Design).

My favorite clock widget is DIGI Clock, primarily because it lets you use your own custom fonts.

MX Player is an excellent video player.

* calendar app

That depends on what you need. Business Calendar, Jorte, Cozi

* mail app

Personal preference. There are lot of free ones - try them and decide which one you like best.

* widgets (calendar, sports, weathe, etc)

Same thing - personal choice.

* launchers

Nova.

* root specific apps

Depends on what you do. Terminal and Programmer's Keyboard if you're going to be digging in Linux.

* movie app

MX Player.

* Xposed modules

Again - depends on what you need. Notify Clean? Wanam?

* ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF

The Play Store. Spend month just looking at all the free apps. Oh - Appstore from Amazon and Free App Notifier. And App Gratis for free app of the day from the play store.
