[shmotog]

Here is a small list of what apps I have and I consider them essential:
-Bittorent Sync: automatically sync and backup to pc
-Androrec+: for call recording the takeaway people if they dont deliver all you asked and still charge you
-Skype: cause everyone has it
-Firefox: cause its cool and secure..ish.
-Paypal: was good while it worked.
-MoneyWise: for accounts..syncs to pc with my own pc interface i made in ms access
-Dashcam: for recording without having to start camera app and pressing loads of buttons
-mdscan: excellent scanner
-printershare: print via USB or wifi, any printer at all, even my prehistoric hp one.
-evenlog: to log..well..events such as when was the last time i had a shower.
-amazon
-ebay
-vip access: for paypal
-sainsburys
-tesco
-asda
-lightshopper: my fav..for shopping list
-xposed framework: needs root..excellent framework for further apps like:
-quick access: start a program from lockscreen
- app settings: set per app settings and deny permissions
- gravitybox: completely change anything and everything in android
-cputemp: monitor cpu temp
-temp monitor: battery monitor
screenbl Lite: excellent app that turns screen off when mobile is flat on the table..among other things..basically controls how the screen timeout behaves.
-greenify: i have boost mode due to xposed framework...hibernates background apps when youre not using them..excellent.
-sdrescan: scan sd card to fix usb mtp not showing files at times on hte pc.
-clean master: recently installed it..cleans cache..etc..anti virus.
-avast anti theft (rooted): every phone should have one.
-fruux: to sync google calendar with reminderfox on firefox pc.
-business calendar
-tunein radio
-spotify
-netflix
-4od
-google maps
-waze
bbc news
-hangouts
-appopsX: probably not available, i have the colortiger version..takes away permissions like camera permission on the fly instead of like normal app ops which you have to open and is quite a pain compared to appopsX.
-nova launcher
-es file explorer
-sun rise pro: best wallpaper..ever.
-resizable sticky note: for well..sticky notes on the desktop.
-accuweather: for sort of accuratish weather.


These are all the apps I can't live without. What about you guys...anything to add?

some mentions:

-- boat browser mini (if you want to avoid unusable minimal, or unusable crowded and bloated, has flash, javascript and plenty of settings)
-- chomp sms (if you want traditional or classic style messaging, is fast, very customisable)
-- k-9 mail (loads of options, can bypass android sync settings, fast, battery friendly)
-- google keep (for all your notes and lists, but sync to google account is only form of backup, fast, easy)
-- notifier widget for facebook (if you dont want a facebook app, but want notifications)
-- timely (if you need an alternative alam, its sickly and weird but gets the job done, and the default alam tone is surprisngly effective)

Oh yes! +1 to Swiftkey and Nova launcher if you do not like the Moto default launcher.

After researching the Moto G it does NOT look like it will work.

chromecast should work. actaully the link you gave also says chromecast should work on moto g. from what i remember chromecast doesnt actually use the phones wifi, it has its own wifi. however only certain apps work, like youtube netflix etc. i think in order to 'mirror' like miracast where you can see the desktop, you have to do something else which i do not know yet but as i have xposed frameworkr installed ill see if it works once i do manage to buy a chromecast...or miracast.
