My favorite apps:

Touch/toucher Launcher. Really recommended (horizontal sliding based in touchscreen, an entry per screen and options) 

Note: To replace a previously installed launcher, it is required to uninstall/remove previous Launcher.

 

(DANE Touch Launcher  is the same launcher with borders)

Vertical clock (above v00.6) (support and display other widgets, touchscreen)

Fullscreen Notifications

Gadgetbridge  (widget)

Alarms

Flappy Bird 

Clock-Tris 

GPS recorder (records a GPS track even with app running in background, can display previous recorded tracks)

 

My favourites Widgets: (always in top, if widget bar is loaded)

As widget bar space is limited, so select well widgets and its width

Bluetooth Widget (single spaces)

Digital clock widget (multiple spaces)

Battery Level Widget   (multiple spaces)

Simple Heart Rate widget (check hr when screen is on) (single spaces)

 

 

 

Default apps but I've replaced
