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,

Can anyone reccomend a smooth PDF reader for my magazines.
I have all the monthly/weekly magazines in PDF format. Stuff,T3, Zoo,Nuts ect.
The best one I've found is Aldiko. The problem with that is the zoom is jerky. Also you have to re-zoom out to switch page.
Living in the uk we don't get the magazine tab in the play store due to rights crap.
My initial thought after seeing that promo was my magazines would look mint using that reader.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I've used several different ones and my favorite by far is EZ PDF Reader Pro. It really smooth and the UI is very polished. It also allows you to add notes, highlight, add text box, etc.

I have been playing with my N7 for a few weeks now and have just rooted it ( after realizing my cable wasn't fully pushed in after an hour of banging my head on brick wall).
Forgetting Facebook, G+, Twitter & Games what are the must have apps that should be downloaded to show off the N7.
I am thinking wi-fi killa, Pulse and any other apps that are truly used daily and really have the wow factor on the N7.
Thanks in advance for all the help I have got before joining the site.

Granny Smith is such an odd game. On paper you'd never think you'd like it but I've honestly replayed the entire game 4 times and counting now.. The replay ability is fantastic..
Whatsapp - Obviously this has to be side loaded but its so much better than on a phone!
... well, I've got an 8GB; so I figure that the most crucial apps to me would be the cloud ones (i.e., Google Drive @ 5GB free, SkyCloud @ 7GB free, Dropbox @ 3GB, and the pre-installed Google Play Music @ 20,000 songs free...)
As a perk, GrooVeIP Free (tablet to phone) is a true Wi-Fi Calling experience on top of the Google Voice app.

Because Gameloft tend not to optimise for Tegra 3 devices and most of their games are laggy. I've got a few Gameloft games and the main culprit of an unoptimized game is Amazing Spider-Man! Incredibly laggy. But some others work fine (for me at least), like Where's Wally Now, Asphalt Urban 7...

Though I only had this tablet for 3 days do to me really disliking it, here is the list of the apps that I use and like.
Lancher; Smart Launcher Pro
Browser; Maxthon, Google Chrome
FileManager; ES File Explorer (this is a must have program, you can access all of your cloud, network, local, FTP and SD Card storage in one place, just awesome)
CloudStorage; your tablet comes with 50GB of DropBox but I would defiantly also use the 15GB of free Google Drive and OneDrive from Microsoft. The latter is fantastic)
News; FlipBoard(a must have), Google Newsstand, Appy Geek, CNN Tablet, News 360 Tablet
Video; VLC and the built in video player is all you'll ever need
Music; I use Spotify, love it but others like Pandora are also good
Torrent; Vuze, Utorrent Pro
Shopping; Amazon, eBay, Best Buy(even if you don't buy from them it's still a good app to see what the prices for things are and if especially if a certain new product is even being offered yet)
Social Media; Pinterest(this is a fantastic app and like Flipboard is a must have) and of course the usual suspects like Facebook and Twitter if you use those services, I prefer Google+
Information; Google Search, Wikipedia Tablet, Wikitionary
EBook; Aldiko Premium, Google PlayBook (I use this app the most because I can store all of my eBook on Google Drive and this app can sync with them easily)
Torrents; Vuze (this is a very nice app), uTorrent Pro
Office; QuickOffice, Kingsoft Office (very nice interface but again I use QuickOffice for the same reason I use PlayBook, it's a Google Service and I can sync my docs with ease)
Music; I'm done buying music, I use Spotify and it fits my needs wonderfully
Notes; OneNote, EverNote and SpringPad all fantastic and worth an install, I use OneNote the most because I have a Nokia 1020 phone and a Nokia 2520 for work, I scan all of my documents using Office Lens then sync with OneNote.
Chat & Video Conferencing; Viber (use this the most), Skype, Facebook Messenger and of course Google Hangouts
Photo Editing; Pixlr Express, Photo Editor (this is a fantastic program but it ran like molasses on mm Tab 3, there has been update that supposedly fixes some performance issues with the Intel but don't hold your breath, Fotor (also a great program for your phone), anything by Aviary is also good.
Wallpapers; Premium Wallpapers HD (the best wallpaper program for tablets as every wallpaper scales to portrait and landscape perfectly though the quality of some of the Photos could be better, on the crappy 1280 x 800 rez all should be fine, I was commenting about when using an ultra high rez like with the Nexus 10
Miscellaneous; 500PX, IMDB, Flikr, Photobucket
Well that's it for me, it would be a good idea to search for Android Tablet Apps in Pinterest, that's where I find a lot of great stuff to install.

Hey.
Seems that some Android TV's can now be joined to speaker groups. My Nexus Player now has the option but not my TCL 32 (despite rebooting it like Shields need apparently). Has anyone got the speaker group option on their TCL or any other Android TV?

Yay!
Got an update for the Chromecast app, restarted the TV and now it works.
First tests suggest no audio on the TV for music streams. That suits me as I have a Chromecast Audio in the same room so only need a now playing screen on the TV.
Been using a LastFM/screensaver hack to do this so a nice update for me.

Hello guys, jumping on this, maybe trying to flog a dead horse, i have a philips 55 8024/12 and it supposedly has chromecast built in v 1.42, but it doesn't really behave in google home like other normal chromecast devices, many options are missing...
so i thought i could try the v1.44 'chromecast built in -beta' by joining the tester program, however both via web browser on pc playstore and saying ->install to device or directly from the playstore app within android TV i am unable to install the beta update and its still on 1.42, it says its compatible, the download begins, but the moment it starts installing it just fails saying cannot install...
have tried clearing cache and data for google web view, play store but to no avail...any tips or is it just broken?

Chromecast built-in is quite limited compared to dedicated Chromecast devices.
And it's back but broken.
Just got a new (June) update to Chromecast. Can now join my TV to a speaker group again but casting to any group with TV in it just spins it's wheels then times out.
Nexus Player has no problem.
Hmm
I updated both of my nexus players to the latest chrome cast builds but I still don't see them in the speaker group when I try to add them or create a new one. Any suggestions?

I think Google are still experimenting. The option has gone again for my TV but remains on my Nexus player.
