What Apps do you have installed? - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

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.

Essentials: Greenify, TitaniumBackup, FX File Explorer (a gem of a file explorer, UI is extremely nice, better than all file explorers on play store, my go-to)

What do you guys do about the lightflow notification when you pull down the notification bar?

Aviate. Umano. Ulisten. Switchr.

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)
2. Splashtop Remote
3. ADW Ex Launcher.
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.

Some app is taking unauthorized screenshots?

Random screenshots I didn't take are suddenly showing up in my pictures>screenshots folder the past couple days. Non-rooted N7, unknown sources enabled for Flashplayer.
Any idea what is causing this? A third party app or part of Android? Are there trojans/keylogger type malware for Android that could be doing this? I'd think if so they wouldn't leave the screenshot in the screenshot folder, but something is taking them bec it's not me.
Only new apps I've installed are:
White Noise paid by TMSOFT
Aldiko Book Reader
Outlook.com by Microsoft + seven
And I only have a few other apps, mostly popular ones:
Adobe Flash Player and Reader

Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda premium
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 ^.~)
