Hi,
all these are Just same as the softwares we install in desktop /lapptop OS considering Android as OS(Indeed it is).

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.

1. Power Toggles - This is simply the best toggle app around. Able to toggle lots of main features.

[INFO]Must Have Apps For Galaxy SII
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.

[INFO]Must Have Apps For Galaxy SII
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.

LG Optimus G Recommended apps [Last update: 2013-12-30]

Hello. I had very much problems with apps. I didn't know which is better and which is really usable. So I will try to help you with apps - this is list of the best apps:
Apps for all users
Everything for browsing:
Browsers:
1. Boat Browser: I think it's the best browser and I'm using it right now - it is really fast, faster than Opera Mobile, Dolphin or Chrome! Supports almost everything, has some themes and add-ons. Also, it has nice speed dial.
2. Opera Mini: Browser that will help you save some data, but it doesn't support flash, backround JavaScript and etc.
3. Skyfire: An alternative browser with flash support, but quite slow.
4. Dolphin Browser: Quite fast browser. This one is very customizable and it has very much Add-ons, themes and etc.
5. Dolphin Browser® Mini: Something between Opera Mini and Dolphin browser HD. This browser is slower than Opera Mini, but faster than Dolphin HD. Also it is more customizable than Opera Mini, but not as customizable as Dolphin HD.
Social:
1. Facebook: If you are using Facebook you must have it.
2. Community Reader by Tapatalk 4: For going to the forums like this.
3. Skype - free IM & video calls: I think you know what is it. It's just a mobile version...
4. Google+: App for Google+ users.
5. K-9 Mail: The best email client for Android. It's simple, nice looking, fast and really functional.
6. Twitter: In my opinion, it's the best Twitter app. Simple. Fast. Many features.
7. WhatsApp Messenger: With this app you can chat with your friends for free (requires internet). Also there is a group chat.
Other apps for better browsing experience:
1. Feedly: A RSS reader that works as both an app and a widget. Probably the best RSS app.
2. 3G watchdog: This app shows your data usage. This app is the best, because it doesn't include Wi-Fi data and shows notification.
3. Network Monitor Mini: This app displays real time upload and download traffic in screen. Really good app if you want to check your internet speed in real time.
Customizing:
Launchers:
1. Go Launcher EX: I think it's the best Launcher. Many functions (I think the best is folders in app drawer, or hiding apps in app drawer), many themes. But it eats more RAM than other launchers.
2. Launcher Pro: This launcher is very fast, but not as customizable as Go Launcher. But if you want the best performance you shuold use this launcher.
3. Swapps!: This is a side launcher that is always there, when you play, read or listen. Just swipe and switch to another app. Good for heavy multitasking users.
Homescreen:
1. Fancy widgets: The best free app for widgets (like HTC style clock and etc.).
2. Beatiful Widgets: The best of the best widgets app. Simple and beautiful widgets. Pro version has more functionality, but costs.
3. Memo Widget (Note Widget): Really good and customizeable memo widget that will help you if your memory is bad .
4. PicSpeed HD Wallpapers: This app has very much high quality wallpapers.
5. Power Toggles: Widget in notification bar or your homescreen to control your wi-fi, bluetooth, brightness, mobile data and etc. Really much functionality!
6. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW): Make your own widgets! Use custom layout, fonts, images, shapes, interesting objects like series clocks, weather information with icons, unread sms and gmail counts, battery info and etc. Use it for maximal customization.
Multimedia:
Music:
1. MixZing Media Player: If you don't like stock music player or just need more functions like equalizer and etc.
2. doubleTwist Music Player: One of the best (or maybe the best ) music player for Android.
3. MX Player: Really good video player. Customizable, nice and fast.
4. SoundHound: If you are listening to radio or just music from somewhere and you don't know name of the song - just open this app and it will show song that you're listening name.
5. Shazam: Something like SoundHound, but it is better if you are listening rock, rap, pop and other non-electronic music.
6. TuneIn Radio: The best Internet radio app. If it works in Lithuania, it must work everywhere.
7. Mobile Metronome: If you are playing with any instrument, this app is must-have. This app has everything any musician can ask from a metronome.
Photos and videos:
1. Camera Zoom FX: Camera app which has very much effects and functions.
2. Vignette: One more camera app, which also has many effects and features. It's paid.
3. Photo Editor by Aviary: I think it is the best photo editor for Android Phone. Very much effects and funcionality, and it's easy to use!
4. QuickPic: This is video and photo gallery. It has more functions and it's faster than stock gallery.
5. VidTrim - Video Trimmer: With this app you can trim your videos.
YouTube:
1. TubeMate YouTube Downloader: With this application you can downlaod videos from YouTube.
Reading:
1. Aldiko Book Reader: With this app you can read books and etc. This app supports .ePub files (with these files your reading will be much more comfortable).
2. Documents To Go: View, read and edit all .doc,. docx,. xls,. xlsx,. ppt,. pptx and other files.
SMS:
1. Go SMS Pro: Really good sms app, with many functions like password on sms, themes and etc.
2. SMS Backup & Restore: Simple application for backuping and restoring your sms.
3. SMS Popup: This app provides a convenient popup dialog when a message is received that allows you to quickly read and reply to messages.
4. Super Backup: SMS & Contacts: An EXCELLENT app for backing up your SMS and Contacts.
Privacy:
1. Safe notes: You can write notes with this app. Why it's safe? Because you can put password on your notes.
2. Call Blocker: Sometimes we need to block calls or SMS from someone. So, this app will help you to do it (It works not in all countries (countries list in this app description - in GPlay))
3. Fake-Call Me: With this app you can make a fake call, so you can get out of awkward situations .
4. Mobile Security & Antivirus: One of the best (or maybe the best) antivirus app for Android. Why? Because it has a lot of features, blocks many viruses and it is faster than others. There are many viruses for Android, so if you are downloading apps not only from Google Play - you should install this antivirus.
5. Perfect App Protector(Applock): App that will let you set password on other apps.
Files or apps managing and etc.:
1. Astro file manager: File manager alternative, but it's better.
2. Dropbox: certainly know what's the point of this application.
3. Google Drive: This is one of the best cloud services. With this app you can store all your files in one place, so you can access them from anywhere and share them with others. 5GB is free.
Entertainment:
1. Rage Reader: I think you know what is Trollface, Rage, forever alone or other memes. With this app you can find many comics with these memes. Comics gets updates every minute.
2. Sky Map: A stunning app that renders Patrick Moore obsolete, by using your phone's orientation tools to give you an accurate representation of the stars and planets on your screen.
Education:
1. Google Translate: It's the same like as pc version Google Translate.
2. RealCalc Scientific Calculator: If stock calculator is too simple for you - you should download this app.
3. WolframAlpha: This app will help you with mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, astronomy and etc. Paid.
Sport and health:
1. Push Ups pro: App that will help you count your push-ups and it will make for you exercising program, calculate your lost calories while making push ups and etc.
2. LiveScore: With this app you can watch livescores of football, basketball, baseball and etc.
3. White Noise: App which will help you to relax or get some sleep. Really functional, good fade and etc. Costs 2 USD.
4. Endomondo Sports Tracker: With this app you can track any outdoor sport duration, distance, speed and calories you lost and share all this information with your friends, compete with them and etc. Probably the best app for this kind of things.
4. Timely Alarm Clock: Timely is the beautiful Alarm Clock, featuring a stunning user experience and cloud integration to backup and synchronize your alarms with multiple devices. Many functions, amazing look and etc. This app is just perfect!
Notes:
1. ColorNote Notepad Notes: A very superb Note app which is very customizeable. Also you can back up your notes.

I bought a LG Optimus G so I'm ready to support this thread again.
Moved it from Galaxy Mini forum and now I'm updating the list,
because all these apps that you see now are a bit old and this list
was dedicated to Galaxy Mini forum, not to the Optimus G forum,
so all these games are really low graphics and apps can
be old or something. So, I'm starting updating this list, don't worry
guys, don't worry.

Swiftkey - already here.
Proxydroid - Not added, I must to try at first.
Chomp sms - not really. Yep, it's faster than Handcent or Go SMS Pro. But it's much more disgusting than Go SMS Pro. When you have such as fast device as ours - speed of app doesn't matters very much. Go SMS is simple, beautiful and I love it. I couldn't say this about Chomp. It still needs some improvements on look.
Aviary - I love it, much better than PicSay.
Swapps - added. Reminds me Ubuntu Unity .
Network Monitor Mini - added.
App backup & restore - I think Titanium Backup is enough for everyone . So - not, I won't add this one.
Water Logic - added. Really good one, if you like logical games .

I just play the real MTG Card Game though, that's why I suggested it. For the ADW, it's APW or Android Pro Widgets. It is really useful to me.

Add Real Racing 3 in racing games. Very addictive, played it for 60 hours until now
Also ES Explorer is great and in my opinion better than Astro since ver 3.
