Locus - Another GPS and mapping App (Free)
Smart Keyboard Lite - I've loved this keyboard since my Eris. Don't know why.
USMC Summer Survival Manual - I'm a bit of a prepper and survivalist. Love having resources on my phone. Phone can be a tool even if no signal.

Amazon App Store - Maybe not considered a traditional app by most, a free paid app every day is hard to ignore, and is the reason why I love Amazon. FREE
Death Worm - An old game I used to play on the PC ported to Android, and it works pretty well. PAID
Words with Friends - There is nothing I enjoy more than schooling my friends with my near encyclopedic knowledge of English. Sure, there are better scrabble apps out there, but this is the only cross-platform one. FREE
Trillian - Facebook chat on Android that doesn't suck. Do I need to say more? PAID (got for free from Amazon)

Business man here, I use these daily.
CamScanner - It works like this, you take a photo using your phone's camera of any document, business card etc. and it will automatically optimize the image i.e. sharpness, contrast as if it were scanned on a scanner, it will then convert it to a .pdf file you can email. Say goodbye to fax machines!
Smooth Calendar - A widget that displays your next 3-5 calendar events. I stick it on my homescreen.
Power Nap - Set a 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minute alarm in two clicks.

I installed the wonderefull new Synergy ROM and I love it. Previously I had a long list of apps installed. Now I have maybe 8 or 9 apps that I could install without running out of room. & that is with app2sd.
& out of those 8 or 9 apps, about 5 or 6 are apps that I "want" like Angry birds & facebook. & not "need" like gmail and logmein pro and such. I really want to keep the new rom but I use my phone for everything. I miss my google sky (my kids love it) snesoid (Killer instinct). Just to get an idea. Here was the list of apps I made before I changed roms:
adobe apps
advance taks killer
angry birds

dropbox
efile

Honestly I love features & pretty buttons as much as the next guy, but if I have pretty stuff everywhere but it can't actually DO anything im gonna have to downgrade.
I want to keep this rom installed but, can someone please tell me how to get a considerable amount of space back. If not back to SteelROM I go.
I had the same problem with Synergy as well. Switch to MikG, very similar rom, and plenty of free space.
thanks for mikg
That was really helpful. I switched to mikg and I have over 250mb of app space. ROM is really very similar. Only issue is battery life and no swype. I will find solutions to those on my own, unless you have a quick answer to those too. LOL. Thanks again bro!
Partition your SD, that'll fix it

Hi,
all these are Just same as the softwares we install in desktop /lapptop OS considering Android as OS(Indeed it is).
After every new flash, the apps that I ALWAYS re-install straight away are;
ROM Manager/CWM
Root Explorer
Tweetdeck

Let me please rephrase myself. I meant when someone states an app they use, put a "what it does" beside it.
Example:
Sirius App - Sirius Satellite Radio app allowing you to listen to Satellite Radio.
My list from a few other threads, but very relevant here since everyone is probably wondering what "app" to get.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnAJoa0-ynONdGJiVDRSQ0p4VGtCaklESmtEbkJzNUE
edit: you guys can add to it ^_^
Great list, a few I couldn't live without:
Badass Battery, 4.7
Mobi Calculator, 4.8
FX File Explorer, 4.7
N7 Player, 4.7
Gtasks, 4.5
DIGI Clock Widget, 4.6
Palmary Weather, 4.5
GasBuddy, 4.6
YouAreHere, 4.7
Navfree, 3.8
Widgetsoid2, 4.6
I've found some of the widgets by this dev are excellent and he supports them very well if you mail him.
The Pure Grid calendar widget has options for tablet size widgets, multiple calendars, colour coding etc.
Also imho HDR Camera+ should be up there with ZoomFX
OP - amazing list!
That is a very clean and comprehensive list of apps you have OP. Thanks for posting... I am definitely going to try some of them out.

Here's my Android tablet list of "best of breed" apps:
GTasks - syncs with Google Notes, has reminders, great widgets. Augments my calendar for many things. Free.
Dark Knight - good tablet chess app. Free+no ads.
AndroXplorer - first-rate file explorer with CIFS support. Free (minor advert), but I bought Pro with my Play credit. Better than all the others I've tried and has proper tablet interface.
SuperSU - fine-grained control of root permissions. Free+no ads, Pro has some sweet features, bought it.
AdAway - prevents ads from even downloading. Probably the biggest performance booster you can get. Free, no ads. This is one of the killer apps that will hook you on Android.
System Tuner - you won't believe the crap that starts up automatically. Fix it with this free app (minor ads). Pro is worth it.
AnkiDroid - Can't believe it's free w/o ads. Flashcards app to study nearly anything, many study decks available. Better than the $25 Anki iPad app which I bought.
Cool Reader - ebook reader, lots of useful features. Free and ad-free.
Aldiko Pro - slick reader, works with most formats, worth the $3.
Apps I'd like but which don't work yet:
Moon+ Reader (incl Pro) is broken on Jelly Bean, doesn't show text. When it works I'll buy Pro again.
Encore Learning Platform - free, no-ads, flashcards app.
If I could have clicked the "Thanks" icon 10 times for supplying us with this great database I would have. But I couldn't so THANK YOU X 10!

MX Player is a sweet video player.
ADW launcher is still a good launcher. I use it on my ICS Transformer. Apex is my favorite though.
WiFi File Explorer is easily the most handy app for transferring data between devices.
XDA App!!!
Rom Manager
Word Feud - online scrabble clone
Android Pro Widgets for scrollable Twitter and Facebook
Thumb Keyboard
Delver - awesome 8bit Dungeon crawling FPS
Sixaxis PS3 Bluetooth Controller pairing.
Tango for video chatting
Netflix and Redbox
Deadly Dungeons - another dungeon crawling game I found today.
Bluetooth OnCall - Enables/Disables BT for calls. Great for headset users to save battery.
DailyHoroscope - its always spot on.
Notification Toggle for CM style notification menu power toggles.
I the above apps are my core apps.
Also my transformer used Polaris Office which I really liked too.
Some apps were mentioned above. I think most weren't mentioned.

I was able to add a few in.
So, for some reason I can only pull this doc up at work. Now my problem is I can see where it's seperated into sections, but the apps aren't organized into their respective sections, they are in alphabetical order. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Josh
