Hi friends i have had the phone for around 3 weeks now and it just amazing with sense and its features. However, i was wondering if there are any apps that make this device even more fun to use. I currently have: power amp, stumbleUpon, Flesky keyboard. Please recomment some apps that may be unique and practical.
Please note that i am not rooted, so please recommend apps that work only with non rooted m8. Thanks. :laugh::D

If you are not rooted, and therefore not inclined to delve into the more technical aspects of the device, the recommended apps you seek would be those that suit your lifestyle.

This forum, predominantly, is for exploring mods, enhancements, themes, etc., many of which require a rooted phone and S-off. Of course, you might find an errant thread on the "best calendar" or something like that, but I doubt you well get responses of the type you are looking for with this question.

At minimum, I would go to the themes section.

Another alternative IR app that works with our device

All in one gestures. As you know you can tap/swipe to wake your phone, this app lets you set custom gestures. I have it set up for a double tap on the status bar (top right of screen) to turn the screen off, so you dont ever need to wake/sleep with the power button again!

Since we're talking swipe control apps I use Screen Off. It makes it so when you swipe up on the Home button it turns off the screen. It also adds some neat screen off annimations. Never touch you power button again!

ZappIR. Worth the money. Replaces those 80 dollar plus fancy remotes. ?
