google now

why i didnt included any task killer/battery saver
ANS:- Trust me they will increase use of your battery and RAM. Even if you kill an app it will restart soon and causing the battery and RAM to be used more and more.

Google keep ( sry, I saw that u have mentioned this before..but I am gonna let this be just to let others know how awesome it is)
Beautiful simplicity and widget

A much better layout than flipboard..More information oriented vs looks focused flipboard.

can u guys please suggest a good office app for viewing and editing files ?
My only requirement is it shouldn't be too big and it should not be heavy on RAM usage. A decent UI would be gr8 advantage.
I tried microsoft office android but it seems to detect only cloud storage..i can't seem to select files from phone storage.
which is good among these : Kingsoft office or office suite or any other ?? :)

I have used both Microsoft office and office suite. Ms office doesn't open/render good, but office suite does a better. So I recommend OfficeSuite

Quickoffice. Its faster than Google's apps (Docs, slide, sheets).

Anyone having large screen device can try AndrOpenoffice for Android, it's a port for open office for Linux and it's as feature rich as office for Android can be ;-)

Try star wars Nights of the old republic, it's not a mmo but still as best it can get

Knights of the Old Republic is neither a MMO nor is it available for android.. Its a turn based action RPG similar to Dragon age made by bioware, it is however available for IOS...
Also, what you are referring to, is Star wars : The Old republic, its a MMO for PC only and it has pretty mediocre reviews for a MMO
