Thanks for your reply. Didn't know about that root explorer, its amazing thanks!

For an application to actually replace the calendar there's stock android one, should find it on xda somewhere.
Nice list anyhow, also looking for some replacements so I'll be watching.

Music Player: N1/stock Android player is pretty good, works better with headset controls as well, found it on xda somewhere
Video Player: Just downloaded mVideoPlayer (free), pretty good, more options than the crappy Sammy default, actually changes screen orientations! (I hated how the Sammy one didn't)
Calendar: Smooth calendar widget (free), I like it, and I just didn't feel like paying for Pure Calendar
You didn't mention podcasts but if other ppl need to know, Doggcatcher is expense but totally worth it. I tried literally every other android podcatcher and they just didn't have the features and the simplicity of Doggcatcher. (and the headset control capability!)
Ya and root explorer and beautiful widgets are must haves.

I checked out mVideoPlayer and it really is a good alternative... and FREE! Thanks!
Maybe i should edit my first post so it contains all sort of apps? And keep adding nice suggestions?

Lock Screen = Widget Locker (please buy) + No Lock App (Free) = FTW

I much prefer Executive Assistant for lock screen.
Looks nice and clean, plus you have the option of using pin code and dot pattern at the same time (on the lock screen press back for pin dialog or home for dot pattern). Either one will unlock the phone.
Here's my lockscreen

added category with your suggestions, thanks guys

stock android 2.1 music player
Found the stock android 2.1 music player on xda

@ferd: Yeah its quite stupid, that you have to touch the pictuer and then to slide to answer the call..
Maybe someone can change it in the sourcecode and make a completly new ROM..

No its got an answer or decline button on incoming call, oh well i decided to pay for the app and use it as it serves its purpose

Oho, because the version i tested, was different..
You saw the picture in full screen and after pressing on it, you have the standard call-screen and there you have to pick up..
Can you refund this app (within 24 hours) if you are not satisfied? (Not every app has the feature, afaik)

you can refund it, i did it then decided to buy it again

updated with some info i found here and some by myself

I use screenshot for screenshots, battery usage I use the built in Android process, I have no idea what total manager is, wyse pocketcloud for VNC, and quadrant and linpack for benchmarking.
Also, adfree is awesome. It's like adblock for your phone.

[Q] What would be the best set of apps to install at first ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Pulse is the best news app.
Google Maps is the best nav app.
Launcher Pro is my favorite home replacement.

Google Goggles
Opera Mini
Callmeter NG (data count calls sms..)
Astro (file manager)
Barcode Scanner

Bit useless question to me, although understand that your asking for it, Ill try to give an impression what apps are needed for me and why

astro: mentioned before, best file manager
chrome to phone: send stuff from your chrome browser directly to your phone (note: works with both chrome and firefox!)
dropbox: send files directly from your pc to your phone
google maps: navigation etc etc
msn talk pro: best msn client
root explorer: file manager with root acces, nice if your a bit more comfortable with your phone and you want to place stuff in system folders
simi folder: nice free folder manager (very customizable)

skype: not the best app, but hey, skype on your phone.
soundhound: best music recognition app (similar to shazam, but a bit better)
google talk: nice messenger app from google, will soon work with video calling
thinkfree office: nice office package (also reads pdf)
titanium backup: best backup app for me
google translate: handy if your abroad all the time (like me)

eternal legacy: good ff replacement
fruit ninja: just try to beat my highscore! (987)
Illusia: nice 2d adventure
JetCarStunts: really addictive platformerish game
Modern Combat 2: nice fps
Speedx 3d: strange reflex game, highly addictive
I have some more stuff, but these are my recommendations!

Thanks tennis11, okorn and stitch !
I understand your point stitch, it is a little bit like if I was asking "what would be the qualities I should be looking in a GF ?" We are all different, and our choices in anything including what we install in our phones directly reflect who we are, what are our personal interests, etc.
Still, if I could avoid going through 3454 web sites and 234 threads to discover what's the best rss reader or nav app, I would be very happy
Therefore merci beaucoup for the time you spent answering me guys !

and on the top of it, you will see a fair share of complete android noobs (like me) who juste made the move because of THIS phone !
Sorry in advance for the large number of basic questions we will ask the seasoned android warriors over here...

i'm one of these noobs too
thanks for asking JohnDoe01, and thanks for answers

Yeah I do understand, as I mentioned, thats why I gave my complete list. For rss reader you might want to try BeyondPod podcast manager, its the best rss feed reader imo.
I see that your French, you might want to check out the ratp and sncf apps as well.

Pulse news reader has a nice layout. Free aswell

You helped me a lot and spared me a lotta time searching.
These are the apps I will definitely need too ..........
Lemme ad:
Ulysse Gizmos (level meter, compass etc.)
Ulysse Speedometer (nice app for drive-tracking)

LaunchPro
Fancy Widget (Pretty clock on screen + date weather etc)
Productivity
Android Agenda Widget
Astrid (and then integrated into Android Agenda Widget)
K9 Mail
APG (Gnu PGP encryption for K9 Mail)
Games
Pew Pew
VideoPlayer
mVideoPlayer
AudioPlayer
MIUI player (don't think that this is in the Market, but there is a link for it on this forum)
News and affairs
BuzzBox
Connectivity
ConnectBot (SSH/Telnet)
Torrents
tTorrent (lite). The paid version allows unlimited d/l whilst the free one allows a max 250kB/ps, which is quite adequate.
All these app are available for free on the Market (bar MIUI player, which is freely available). however some have paid versions that offer better features. LauncherPro comes to mind. I bought this.

That was a nice collection. Allow me to add more.
In alphabetical order:
1Mobile Market: As great as the normal Android market, has some additions IMHO.
aMetro: Subway maps for various countries.
App Update Notifier: As the name says. You can also schedule updates check.
AppRemover: Best uninstaller out there.
BatteryCalibration: As the name says.
Cache Cleaner: As the name says.
Dual File Manager: Best file explorer IMHO (Root Explorer is great too if you want to access the system, but this one has a better interface).
FasterFix: A fix for applying fast GPS lock.
HD Wallpapers: As the name says.
JuiceDefender: Best battery saver out there, truly makes a difference.
Maxthon: An excellent browser indeed. As well as xScope.
MoboPlayer: Best flv videos player (Am not sure if SGS2 plays flv by default).
Mp3TaggerPro: Best tags editor for your music tracks.
MultiTasking Pro: Visual task switcher (Something like the good old task manager, back in WinMo days ).
PhoneUsage: Statistical reports for your usage (calls, SMS, and data).
Plume: The very best Twitter app out there.
PowerAMP: The very best music player out there.
SD Speed Increase: As the name says, makes a difference in reading/writing speeds.
Smart Keyboard: Best one IMHO, as well as SwiftKey.
Where's My Droid: Excellent one, if you lost your phone, just SMS it & it will ring.

NoLED is pretty handy - it shows a little sprite on your screen if you have a missed call or unread text etc, and uses very little power because of the SAMOLED+. A bit like the glowing trackball on the Nexus One.

can i download the apps on the pc and then install it on my phone?
If yes how?
and where can i get the apps to download from?

Try market first.

I personally think spark 360 is an excellent app for xbox live costs about a pound but well worth it if u have xbox

Music downloader and other requests
I've just arrived at Android, having spent the last 18 months with the HTC HD2 and would like to try to find some similar apps to Winmo ones that I particularly miss (I don't miss the phone though...).
My wish list is for the best Android versions of;
Scilor's groovedownloader - absolutely superb free mp3 downloads
SPB Backup - saved my sanity on many occasions
iGo Primo - Great offline sat nav
That will do for now, if there are any suggestions out there.
I am loving this phone.

Your Must have apps!?

I hop from rom to rom, and always need to move my apps around ty TB. That said I like to know some apps you guys use on your evos.

XDA, swiftkey, boot manager, root explorer, xiialive (streaming audio), poweramp, sheet to go (for spreadsheets from work), adobe reader, dropbox, gosms, k9 mail... The list is actually pretty long since my phone basically mirrors the functionality of my laptop when I am not at home.

Funny you mentioned this topic, I don't use Titanium backup. Instead I backup my app on gmail through attachments, and when I install a new rom I log into my gmail account and download the apk's I need. Kinda ghetto, but it works.
The apps I find myself using are:
System Tuner Pro, terminal emulator, chainfire3D, realcalc, bluez ime, hacker's keyboard, maxthon browser, quicpic, root explorer, script manager, supersu, snes9x ex, n64oid

If I had to to live with one app for the rest of my life ... one word .. Netflix.

Since I'm using CM9 that doesn't have a built in fm it's Spirit FM radio.

This doesn't seem that bad, if there is a trial I wouldn't mind using it but I do not use window that often.
When I do need to connect to my laptop I use splashtop.

Terminal emulator, script manager, setCPU

I really like astro as an alternate file manager
Titanium backup, dropbox, LBE Privacy Guard, Rom Toolbox

These are some of the best ones out there right now in my opinion... (Some are paid apps but hands down worth the tiny investment )
1) CacheMate for Root Users
2) Battery Calibration
3) adbWireless
4) Gesture Search
5) Kernel Manager
6) Wave Launcher
7) Text Free
8) Wireless Tether
9) Ram Manager
10) App Protector
11) Room Toolbox
12) SD Speed Increase
13) Translate
14) Root Unistaller
15) FTP Server

MY never flash Rom's without 'em list
1) ROM Toolbox Pro
2) ROM Manager Pro
3) Solid Explorer
4) Either Maxthon or Dolphin browser w/ add-ons
5) My favorite market apps where i get the rest of whatever i find before reset and new ROM timem

Titanium backup, Quickpic, SetCPU, root explorer, astro, beautiful widgets, and apw pro widgets.

Sorry for the long list
Social: Alphascope (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Foursquare); Friendcaster (Facebook); Tweetcaster (Twitter); InstaG; Tapatalk (access XDA & other forums)
