Post 12 of Note 2 thread has got a list of apps and other links.

I use Nova Launcher. MXPlayer is good.

It is OK but a poor practice...I suggest you use a timer to cut off electricity supply after 4 hours. I am using my LG charger n Nokia cable and it takes about 3.5 hours to hit 100% from about 10%. The phone electrical circuitry theoretically will auto cut off charging once fully charged. Is your choice..

Buy a timer from any electrical outlet n plug your charger into it. Cheap one about rm30-40 while better quality around rm100

This is basic electrical gadget. You can set multiple timers on it. I use it only to control my koi pond water pump. I have set pump to run only alternately every 4 hours meaning 6 times a day. A good unit can last many years while those cheap ones will break down after a year or two. Any electrical outlet or big departmental stores electrical section should be selling it too
