Which stock apps did you replace on your MXPE?

[notabbott]

I replaced the SMS/messaging app with Google Messenger. So far that's been it. I've seen other people mention the camera app. Anything else the MXPE that doesn't quite cut it right out of the box?

The only one I can think of is Google messenger. And I sometimes use action launcher.

Just messaging with chomp sms

Just Nova Launcher, for the blank home screen ability and to lose the Google search bar.

Otherwise all the factory apps work great.

Me too, but for the grid, icons and gestures.

Nova Launcher, TeslaUnread, Google Messenger, Percent Enabler

I use CalcU as my main calculator, and I disabled the built in calculator.

I use a couple of apps as companions rather than replacements to the built in apps:

Kit Kat Calendar... So I can change the status of events as either 'Busy' or 'Available'. The Google app ignores this setting and defaults new events as Busy. Meetings in Moto Assist only quiets the phone if you mark the event as Busy. So if I record an event such as attending a baseball game, I can label that event as Available, since I don't need a silent phone.

Shuttle Music Player... to manage playlists of locally stored music. I mainly use Google Play Music. But after the last update, my playlists disappeared that contained locally stored music from the music folder, and it ignores those songs in new playlists that I create. Its weird, it can still play local music, and I can add them to a playlist, but when I re-open the playlist in Play Music, they're not listed.

Nova launcher, Textra, Screen Brightness Control, True Phone Dialer & Contacts, and Swiftkey

I replaced messaging with Textra. I've had this phone for over two months now but I know I haven't tapped into its full potential.

Mainly Nova launcher and textra. Oh and SwiftKey!

 

[Jaysus]

Nova Launcher and Google Messenger... unless Dashclock and Event Pro calendar widgets count?

 

[MTeator]

Nova. Would love to use Google launcher, but the icons are soooooo big.

I swapped Motorola's Messaging app for Google Messenger.

 

[Tom Westrick]

Using Swiftkey, Today Calendar, and Hangouts for both messaging and SMS. I initially used Shuttle+ for music, but I've switched to Google Play Music All Access.

I'll bite....

messenger --> Clean Inbox (allows blocking)
keyboard --> Fleksy for now. (not a fan of many others really. I'm very picky)
Phone --> TrueCaller (well, it's an add-on to show exactly who's calling and to allow blocking) I do not like the stock call app. It's too windows 8ish:-\ so i am on hunt for better phone dialer.
Chrome --> Adblock Browser. If Google won't allow it on Chrome in Android, I'll move to another Browser who offers ad free and pop up free experience.

I know I have more...

 

[Repr1sal]

[Nova]for customization
[Multiling keyboard](lightweight and highly customizable)
[Percent enabler](tweaks the battery notification icon to have a built-in number reading)
[MX player]pro for media
[Piktures]to replace the Gallery
[Rbrowser]to replace Chrome (much faster...optimized for Snapdragon chips...has a really cool night mode
[BatterySaver]pro greatly expands the options of Android's built-in battery saver mode (cant recommend this one enough)

Looking through my phone, I've replaced nothing. I have downloaded a couple of camera apps, but I still stick with stock as I love the twist feature to open.

 

[Channan]

I didn't replace Moto's camera, but use it together with Google's. I also use Inbox instead of Gmail. That's pretty much it.

I had to replace almost all of my stock iOS apps with Google ones on my iOS devices.

 

[ryantombasco]

Nova Launcher, Tesla Unread, Smoke & Glass Icons, Camera FV-5. Everything else is pretty much stock.. Aside from a weather widget or two and a calendar widget, but it ties in to Google's calendar app.

How is Camera FV-5? Any problems or differences in the pictures? Can you alter settings?
Motorola camera app is very basic and I'm thinking of using something else. Although the camera gesture is what keeps me from doing it.

I love FV-5.. The biggest reason I got it is because of how much control you have over settings and whatnot. The only thing it's missing imo.. Unless I'm not seeing something.. Is the volume down to snap a picture function. But I'm a fan of touch to focus and a dedicated spot on a screen to touch to snap the picture (short of a dedicated button).
