BSPlayer is an oddly named but excellently interfaced video player, easy fast-fordward, volume adjustment, brightness adjustment.
The quintessential android app, IMO, is Tasker. It's not the easiest thing to use (just like Android), but you can do anything with it with a little effort (just like Android). It's automationware. Do you want to start your weightlifting playlist when you open up your fitness app? Set it to turn on your bedroom tv in the morning (assuming you have IR) and gradually increase the volume until you get up? Automatically send commands to your custom kernel to say, put your phone in your own custom designed night mode excluding blue light based on time, location and perhaps app (like kindle) or a thousand other things big and small.
Google 'tasker uses' and the two top links both have tons of user suggestions in the comments. Most too niche to find an app just for that, but users can still streamline for themselves with just a little bit of scripting.
There are a few other simpler and less capable apps. Never used it, but since you're a microsoft guy I'll mention it, I seem to recall them making their automation app called on{x} for Android. But Tasker is the big dog. It's like if you get to prison and beat up the toughest guy in the yard, then you're fine, learn Tasker first thing and then you're really set with Android.
