Solid Explorer (Windows grade file manager, with support for absolutely everything built in)
Titanium Backup (would be lost without it, its my swiss army knife of tools)
Multi Mount SD-Card (simple tap toggles USB Media mode, for better compatibility, and functionality when connecting to PC)
Thumb Keyboard (even tho im currently using Swype, you can't beat the massive customization of a keyboard you can taylor yourself as you go along, even to the point where 'ahdjfhafha' should autocorrect to 'nice to meet you, too'. and always having arrows on screen makes a world of difference)
SMS Popup (even tho I don't use its popup sms feature, I use it as an extremely lightweight sms notifier, and disable stock texting's; as it forces the screen to wakeup even in my pocket -__-, which we all know leads to battery drains/wakelocks/ not to mention pocket dialing/app opening/and all sorts of other unwanted chaos..)

flash player works in a flash supported browser, ie: FireFox, Lightning Browser, Boat Browser
well since im making a second post here, might as well list 5 more =]
Flashlight (tried many flashlight apps, this one uses max brightness, loads the fastest, can be set to auto on on launch which is perfect for lockscreen apps, and works with screen off)
QuickPic (as neat as the stock gallery's is, it's important to have reliable picture viewer that does it all)
PowerAmp (unlike QuickPic I know there's lots of 3rd party music players that support everything. I choose PowerAmp because opened media files still play when navigated away from, option to delete while listening to, Enqueued options, better file type support than stock, and can LISTEN to a movie/video with screen off/ navigation away. oh yeah and best external hardware control support (car hw toggles, BT controls, wireless keyboard media buttons, etc)
SmartRemote (IR remote custom built for sgs4 that supports EVERYTHING, not just TVs.. even my bedroom air conditioner/heater, bedroom lights, sound docks, EVERYTHING!
Audio Manager (no explanation needed ^.~)

could you link me to this SmartRemote you speak of? i see a couple different choices when i search SmartRemote, want to get the right one....

Nova Launcher Prime
Tasker
Titanium Backup
XDA Premium
ES File Explorer
I'm assuming everyday productivity things like Messaging, Play Store, and Maps don't count in this list.

Your 'must have' apps

Which apps can you simply not live without? Every time you do a data wipe, you go straight to the Market, or your .apk collection and put these straight back on... what are they?
Titanium Backup, beyond all doubt.

Smart Keyboard, Convertpad, RealCalc, ColorDict are utils I use most often, so that's what I install AFTER Titanium Backup PRO and SetCPU (once my phone's rooted, of course).
1. XDA (obviously)

I need a backup and restore app but Titanium Backup seems to seriously mess with my phone. It interfered with my Nandroid backup(?) I've had to wipe my phone and reinstall every app I can remember. :/
Same with MyBackup Pro, just says error half way through backup even with sufficient space.

[Q] What are the "Must Have Apps" for the Note 3

What apps do you use the most on your Note 3..
File Manager
Terminal Emulator
Backup
etc
Well I'll tell you from the ones I have not freezed and aren't vital for the phone (sorry Samsung, too much crap) and the ones I've installed:
Pre installed:
All Google play apps
SNote
Sketchbook
S health
Action memo
(I just love this pen man hahaha)
Installed:
(I usually use combos for a task)
Entertainment: Smart IR Remote
Productivity: Quick office + Drive
News: Feedly + Pocket
To Do's: Wunderlist + Evernote
Units: XE Currency + Convert It!
Photo: Procapture + Snapseed
Math: Myscript Calculator + MyCalc
CCCCOMBO BREAKER:
Root:
Seeder: Reduce lag
Greenify: Extend battery life
Pen window manager: Add more apps to pen window
AdBlock Plus: as if explanation was needed.
Xposed+Wanam: edit the framework.
WifiKill: remove people from the internet hahaha.
those are the essentials for the best productivity. Just my two cents

ES File Explorer. Stock file manager doesn't remember scroll position, which is far from amusing if you have 2648 files to review in one folder.
Diceplayer + VLC + MX Player. If one can't run it, the rest can.
Firefox+Adblock plus +quit. Ahhhhh, no ads!
Sketchbook (pre-installed). I bought it for my previous phone, which is now making my wallet a bit irritated.
Zooper Widget. Best. Widget. Ever.
Procapture+Snapseed. That stock camera is a nightmare once you get used to a DSLR. What do you mean, there is no manual mode?!!
Smart IR Remote. Because WatchON keeps running in the background, only works on a tv, is meant for US users, and the puns were getting a little detrimental to my continued existence. (Mate of mine is called Alan Watson. :silly: )
Moon+ reader. Best Ereader app, by far. (I don't do DRM, sod off Google Play Books.)
Perfect Viewer+pdf plugin. This screen is great for reading comics!
MapsWithMe Pro. No irritating location services demands, no overobsessive americans logging every step you take, no powerhungry background processes that keep running, and best of all: no roaming! Plus literally everything is on there, even individual trees and powerlines. Also, it has maps of Europe that are not 12 years old!
EWeather HD. Finally, one with a European weatherprovider! I got a little tired of New York telling me the weather in Rotterdam: "it will be a sunny something-fahrenheit today!" Except for the bit where it rains cats and dogs, and we don't use fahrenheit.
Quickpic. Obvious.
Officesuite Pro. Again, obvious.
Realcalc. Smart Tools. Unit Converter Plus. Swiftkey.
That should be it.

Greenify is a must have for me.

Do you have to be rooted for Greenify?
Also, some apps I love:
Sketchbook, although I am not a great artist.
Asphalt 8
Contacts (yep, I love the contacts on the Note 3)
Dropbox

How did you get Seeder to work? I got the "An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device" and this on a rooted Note 3. Greenify and any other rooted module or app I use works fine but I can't get Seeder to run without this error.

What Apps do you have installed?

As the title suggests what apps do you have installed? I was using a windows phone for the last two-years and just got my N5 so I'm still going through the app store.
So far,
Shazam
Bank apps
Opera web browser
Handcent SMS (From my N1 days)
I'm a big fan of light flow, drop box for photo backup, pulse for news, tapatalk for forums...
I could go on forever.
