Top 10 must have Apps

Every device on XDA has one so why not us, so i thought i might as well bring it over to our side
I'm going to share some useful applications I have on my GS2.
1.Rotation Locker - It locks your screen to either Portrait or Landscape. Awesome app to have when playing temple run in landscape.
2. Rom ToolBox Pro - ROM Toolbox combines apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, ROM Manager, front changer, and etc. Basically your swiss army knife for a root user.
3. AdFree for Android - I hate annoying ads this app removes most ads in the browser and other apps.
4. MXPlayer - one of the best apps for viewing movies and online content if you dont want to use gallery.
5. ProPlayer Music Player - Awesome music player that support all music formats, built in EQ, allows you to change songs when phone in standby mode by just the volume button
6.Tweetcaster - Great App to use if you tried of twitter. other than that its a social networking app that needs no explanation
7. Amazon App Store - They offer a Free Paid App Of The Day (snag rom toolbox pro off of there this is a must have app) did i mention FREE PAID APP A DAY!!!!!
8. XDA App - No Explanation at all
9. Dolphin browser HD - To me Best web browser on the android market (Plz remember this is an opinion lol)
10. Audio Manager / hide it pro - If you have one of those girlfriends/wife that love going threw your phone (call log, sms, pictures.) This app is perfect for you. lets u hide pictures, videos, applications, messages, and calls in your phone in plain sight.
This is a community and we all have the same device so lets help each other out. If you want to know what's a good app is regarding your needs, ask in this thread and I, or others, will be able to help you out.
*NOTE* If you know any unique or useful applications dont be selfish and keep it to yourself, please add them in this thread so I and others on this thread can check them out. Hey you never know who you may help or surprise on this thread

The amazon appstore usually gives out crappy paid apps, once in a while a badass app comes out. I remember I got SwiftKey x for free there once, but when it was on sale for $.10 on the market i bought it from there. I used to check everyday but not anymore. Damn I cant believe i missed rom toolbox.

To the op, ROM toolbox has an ad blocker no? Rotation control it's usually built in too.

I've been back and forth on task killers. The one I'm using now has a quick 1-click widget. I excluded all of the apps that should stay running for stability and other reasons and only have it setup to kill games and other apps that I don't want notifications from and don't need to keep running. It's quick and easy for me to just kill all the junk apps all at once. I have noticed a performance difference with it too.
I also use Autostarts to keep crap from starting up when I don't need it.

I love apex launcher too.. however I switched to nova because the home button for voice command and long press for recent apps was a necessity for me. Apex doesn't lemme change it.. (feel free to enlighten me know if you know how to!)

This ability is built in to Touchwiz, and can be found in the settings. It's called Blocking Mode, schedules, allowed contacts ... just as you describe, free.

Tasker, Dropsync, Nova Launcher, Hovernote, Floating Browser, (in-app pro version purchase based on IMEI is annoying, but it works, and can be restored after uninstallation) and the best photo editor I've found is PicSay Pro.

+1 to that.
Also like Nitrodesk Touchdown, lets me access my work Exchange account without giving work Admin access to my device.

1. Titanium Backup
2. Root Explorer
3. PowerAmp
Those are my top 3 for sure. PowerAmp definitely isn't necessary, but I like it more than the sammy player. Sometimes I may use beautiful widgets, but on the Note2 I use One More Clock as my clock/weather options and it's free. If any good kernels get developed, I'll buy the kernel developers app as well. I used to use Lightflow religiously on my Nexus, but seems like there is still a conflict with touchwiz software on that front for now.

Some additional favorites of mine:
- unlock with wifi
- dropsync
- Holo launcher plus
- Unified remote full

Clear vision, although that's a game...

Hmm let's see
Titanium backup (everyone with root no their phones should own this)
SuperSU Pro (wonderful for the root logs if you have stuff asking for root and you don't know what they are)
Mobile Odin Pro (I bought this to be supportive, I don't really use it...one of those "you don't know you need it til you need it" kind of things)
HD Widgets (best clock/weather widgets period)
Beautiful Widgets (second best clock/weather widgets period)
FPSE (PlayStation Emulator...very highly recommended for our phones. 60fps on every game I play)
Feedr (best RSS app/widget out there)
Podkicker Pro (best podcast app/widget out there...free version looks awful, paid version is much better)
Swiftkey 3 (and, when it comes out, Swiftkey Flow)
Realcalc (if you're in college and need a scientific calculator)
XDA Premium ( )
SetCPU (it took me 2 years to buy it since it's available on XDA free...but frankly I like knowing I contributed to that dev's awesome work)

good appps to spend the play $25

What are good apps to spend the $25 play that you get..
I've been in the play store for days and ain't seen shi* worth spending on besides maybe titanium backup, and rom toolbox but tool box has most of the same functions as titanium backup or that you can get from free apps what do you guys Recommend

get Cerberus, you will not regret that paltry purchase price!

$25 Play credit expires end of September - ideas of what to get...?

When we got two Nexus 7 tablets last year, we both got $25 credit. Mine is finished and wife's is still at $25.
I am guessing there is no way that I can get her $25 credit transferred to me as I am the (techy) one who gets apps for our phones/tablets...?
If not...I guess we could get apps/books that we can both enjoy.
Any suggestions of must-have apps that folks would consider getting for the $25 credit?
Already have paid versions of:
Beautiful Widgets
Clipper+
FlightTrack
FolderSync
PrinterShare
Root Explorer
SQLite Editor
Tasker
Titanium Backup
Voice Choice 2.0
Thanks very much.

Buy SwiftKey keyboard, absolutely the best keyboard I have ever used. Or if your using apex/nova get the paid version.

Power amp, rom toolbox pro are really awesome. rom toolbox would replace titanium back and root explorer, since it has everything those two apps have built into it (rom toolbox has the actual app root explorer built in) also has a bunch of other premium apps built in, so its actually cheaper to buy rom toolbox then to actually buy the individual apps

I don't know what file browser you use, but IMO Solid Explorer is pretty nifty... I'd say add that one to the list.

Nova Launcher Prime
GrooveIP for free voip calls with Google Voice

You could use it for Chromecast. Just add another $10.
