Now that I'm denied my all-time favorite app (And consequently all my favorite headless Linux apps) GnuRoot, I'm on the market for apps to try and sort of fill the void. Aka lightweight or open source, minimalistic apps. Here's what I have so far.
Editors:
Jota+ (paid)
I've had Jota for years now. I haven't used it since finding GnuRoot... But now it's all I use - VIM on Android just isn't there. Once I get full on Nix going again I'll be back to VIM. Until then Jota it is.

Files:
TotalCommander (free - no ads)
I love this app. It's clean and ad free. It's not constantly trying to get me to download other utilities *ahem esfile explorer*. With the LAN extension installed it's nice and easy to copy files to and from your computers.

Music:
Musicolet (free - no ads - internet)
I've mentioned this one before. I recently found Musicolet when my old player kept munching on my battery. This app is ad-free and doesn't even utilize your web connection so it's nice and light weight, not querying for artwork etc. And it's a great player. A little weird at first with the multiple queues thing but once you're used to it the queues are pretty cool.

Chatting:
QKSMS (open source)
I just found this one. I wasn't looking for a texting app, but in a search for open source apps, it showed up. So far it's really cool. You can tweak the look and feel quite a bit. So far it's not buggy etc. And it's open source.
