You might also include a SMS section: go!sms, handcent, chompsms.
WP7 Music Player would be a good music player to add.

This is a great list. If you are looking to expand it, why not add Firefox, Winamp, LBE Security, ROM Manager, and Titanium backup? Thanks for putting this list together.

A root apps section? TB, Rom manager, root explorer, s2e, zipthemer, Metamorph, quickboot,setcpu, linpack, terminal emulator!!!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Great thread. May I suggest that you keep the sections relatively pruned so the list becomes manageable and readable. Not sure how you would decide whether an app deserves making the list or dropping off.
A few I'd like to recommend:
Angel Dialer......great/fast dialer
Folder Organiser......great way to organise apps with labels and great associates widgets
Handcent SMS......surprised this isn't there already
nice clean thread!
I'm of the same opinion as bras0782: Don't let it be ovefilled!

Google Voice works fine for me (Samsung Galaxy Nexus, stock 4.0.2) - what sort of problem are you having with it?
Chain fire nightmide or msxaa doesn't work
It would be easier to list only those that do not work. I've yet to encounter an app that didn't work with ICS.
My apps that work with 4.0.3 :
Battery Monitor Widget
Better Battery Stats
SwiftKey
Elecont Weather
Miren browser
ES File Explorer
Root Explorer
Switchpro widgets
Evernote
XDA premium
AIX weather widget
ADW Ex launcher

Well I can use all of the features of Google Voice that revolve around txt. I used GrooveIP for phone calls and it just crashes. I tried setting up SipDroid and it works but I recently had to re-install my ICS and now it wont work (setting up an already existing account is a pain ). I could use G.Voice as the phone part alone, but it requires some form of a phone plan and I use my cappy as a pmp mostly so no plan on it.

Well I have had apps that don't work , just figured I'd see what people have worknig AND what they have not been able to get working. That way people, like me, can know what they can actually install and use instead of wasting storage space just to find out an app dont work
I've had problems with some apps not thinking I have tts installed while using SVOX. Some apps work fine, others do not. An example that comes to mind is Smarter Alarm. Not sure if the prob is with SVOX or the other apps..
Also Where's My Water works great on my SGN, havnt spent too much time with other games.. GTAIII worked but the buttons seamed not positioned properly, I know they can be manually changed but I haven't done that yet.
GotYa works great.
Added some new apps in various category.. Have a Look
I'm starting this thead bcz we can discuss best apps for same purpose... and new users can directly try them without much trouble for finding
as there are millions of apps on play store it is very difficult to find appropriate app which is best for some work and every one must try it. may be u all tried lots of apps (as me:silly so we can share our experience & use D best .:laugh:
Now coming straight to point...
I'm sharing the apps which i found best & must have foe every one may be there are superior apps than these one if u know then plz share with us
NOTE : DO NOT ASK OR POST ANY ILLEGAL LINKS FOR APPS
( you can buy smart phone of thousands of bucks than can't u able to buy apps of few bucks?? thought on it & support Devs )
i'm assuming all of u are on JB now so i dont part for JB & GB. if u r still on Gb may be some of them may not work for you ...
Also i'm not putting very popular apps like Facebook , Whats apps etc.
NON ROOT
Anti-virus
As Android is based on LINUX NO NEED OF ANTI-VIRUS . they never detect any virus ( at least for me) i never use & recommend anti-virus. as they slow down your system
i asked at samsung care they also told me no need of antivirus

Thats It From Me
NOTE: If you r going to recommend some apps in comments plz provide its LINK & its PRO / CONE ... as i did. bcZ it is very helpfull to me & also other users
Some users demand to add alternative apps but this thread is for Best & Must try Apps ... not for Compression. So i'm not going to put lots of alternative apps bcz all have their own choice so list will too long ... {HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND}
NOTE: If you recommend any app it should be better than provided app than only i'll put it on list. ( Again plz provide LINK & PRO/CONE of your recommend apps over listed apps)
This is my first (useful) thread so it may have some mistake ... if u notice any plz inform i'll glad to correct it
Like It ?? HIT Thanks :laugh:
1 Request- Please arrange your apps in alphabetical order of sections like BROWSERS, PLAYERS, etc. for the ease of users and to avoid redudancy of information/apps. As it is jumbled manner some apps may go unnoticed and people would recommend them again causing trouble to you in updating the OP.
My recommendations=>
1)For File Explorer
ES FILE EXPLORER...
It is a great free alternative to root explorer and also it has downloader which can download streaming videos (except youtube) and other interesting features (check attachments)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
2)For Antivirus
Avast is the best...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.mobilesecurity
3)For Video Players
VLC is also good. Though in beta versions it is an alternative to MX player when you want an Ad-free experience.

This thread must be in Themes & Apps Section i guess.
Some Apps that I recommend are:
1)NoLED- It displays notifications(missed calls, messages, any other app notifications, etc.) on your screen when it is locked. This is useful for devices without notification LEDs and works best on AMOLED screens(battery drain is low if only some pixels are activated).
2)Tasker- with this, you can fully automate your phone.you can set it to do many things like change to silent, flight etc based on conditions you choose
3)widgetsoid- this app lets you create custom widgets and shortcuts... The swipe feature is awesome(you touch any preset corner of your screen and it opens a shortcut menu- it works anytime the screen is on)
I'll provide more apps later as i remember them

I don't think it should be in App. section bcz it is for general purpose & no moded apps or any thing like that , so every one can easily find it if it is in General Section
LMT Launcher (Root) - Pie control,Gesture control,tons of other features..Works great with any other launcher (apex for example)

adding µTorrent actually i forget it when creating list
anycut link is not valid (as par play store )
ad-free some times block download servers also so not preferable
thnx for your list but i can't put them all. if any one wants to try them they can from your comment directly as you provided links
btw how you manage all apps with links?? i mean you used any app or something?
There was an apps list thread on the HTC hero forum way back which I found quite useful. If you use any apps other than the standard one list them with a brief synopsis of what they do.
E.g.
Utorrent - torrent downloads straight to phone
Mx player - media player
Snapchat - instant disposable photo sharing
Root explorer - my fave file explorer
Better battery stats - find out what's draining battery
Greenify - hibernate apps, helps speed and battery
Candy crush saga - great puzzle game
Bike race - race against friends (current fave)
Fast and furious - drag race style
Tetris - a classic throw back
Wallbase - the best in wallpaper selections

I've got over 100 apps on my phone but I'll just go through and name my favorites.
Superbeam - Use WiFi direct to send files. Far better than android beam.
ESPN ScoreCenter - Simply the best app for sports notifications.
Weather Channel App - Nice interface that gives you weather for your location or others.
GSam Battery Monitor - Great app for checking what's using your battery and displaying numbers.
Snapchat - It's like MMS... but more fun!
Reddit News - My reddit client of choice.
Nandroid Manager - An elegant way to extract data from nandroid backups.
Titanium Backup - You should know what this is by now.
Notification Lockscreen - Receive notifications on the lockscreen for android 4.2. I prefer it to DashClock.
Nova Launcher - My favorite laucnher, because of it's pure quickness.
Flipboard - A pretty way to get news.
xda premium - Support xda and browse the forums!
Baseball Superstars 2013 - Addicting baseball game.
Battle Cats - A game... hard to explain if you haven't played it.
Greenify - Save battery and free up RAM by hibernating apps.
Google Play Music - Music by Google.
Flixster - Great way to see local movies and a quick glance at their reviews.
AdAway - ADS BEGONE!
Others: Gmail, YouTube, Facebook, Dropbox, Google Maps, Hangouts, Netflix, Translate, G+, and more.
AccuWeather - my choice for weather app
AirDroid - wirelessly connect to your computer
Podkicker - simple but reliable podcast catcher
Rotowire Fantasy News - best source for quick fantasy player news updates
Tunein Radio - streaming radio
Tweetcaster - my favorite twitter client

X-plore file manager

Swiftkey 4 - best keyboard ever

My Go To Apps
These are my go-to apps...
Accuweather (Go to Weather, especially on AOSP roms)
Amazon Kindle (Kindle apps rock though I wish they had more fonts available on Android)
Bacon Reader (Reddit client)
BetterBatteryStats (GSam for Sense, I use BBS to get in-depth info for testing AOSP/AOKP ROMS)
BuildProp Editor (Very useful)
Candy Crush Saga
DashClock (Notification lockscreen sounds awfully tempting though @RollTribe!)

Hello,
recently I became obsessed with replacing Batter Hungry applications with their low power alternatives which has almost same functions. Every app I try has one full battery cycle. I do not have the values of how many power the apps consumed, you just have to trust me or ignore it. Some of these apps are very simple (I am a simple user, I need phone with awesome battery life and good funcionality).
I am open to alternatives, so write what you are using and think it will be better and I will give it a try
I have Huawei Phone, so I do not need Greenify. EmUI does stopping services by itself.
So here is the list:
Mails : AquaMail(Free/0.99Cents now on sale!) - It does support all email types, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, FastMail, Apple, GMX, AOL and more. It has unified inbox. You can select if you want push notifications on some account or just download messages every X minutes. It is very customizable and more power saving than everything I tried. The interface is kewl too, you can from notification delete /mark as read message etc. Definitely worth a try, now it is on sale ( with free app you can add to the app just one email account). THIS APP SHOULD NOT BE GREENIFIED/KILLED IF YOU WANT PUSH NOTIFICATIONS!
I tried : Gmail, BlueMail
Link to playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail
Music: ??? Now my favourite is ported app from sony called Music - It has all kind of features I expect from music player while keeping battery hungriness low.
viz. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728110
I tried: Google Music, Huawei Player, PiMusic Player, and a lot of another one (15+) I did not wrote it down.. Now I will.
Browser: Lighting browser (Free/Paid 0.99 cents) - This browser is amazing, compared of others its incredible. It needs less than 5 MB of storage and has nice minimalistic UI. It has everything you expect from a browser, adblock, tabs, speed, clean UI without adds and more.. Definitely worth a try and did I mention the battery? <3
Link to Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.browser.barebones
Tried: UC Browser, chrome, Naked Browser, Opera, Firefox, Doplhin Browser, Puffin
Facebook Messenger : Messenger Lite (Free) - This messenger is a masterpiece, I do not need the circle overlay from FB messenger, and I do not need to video call to my friends.. This messenger has everything you expect from it, you can connect with your friends and write them messages, emoji and be calling them. I can see who is online and all your contacts. Well I do not need integration with SMS app because for SMS messaging there is a stock app. This is a huge memory and battery saver!! I liked the overlay from original fb messenger but now I do not want it, I am just used to used my phone efficiently.
Link to Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.mlite
Launcher: Now is wining Nova Launcher (Free/Paid) - It is highly customizable launcher, it supports dynamic unread badge, has dark design, you can scale icons and basically do everything with it. It is easy on memory and battery compared to another launchers.
Link to Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
I tried : Arrow launcher, LppLauncher, Flick Launcher, Evie Launcher, Cold Launcher, Apex Launcher, KK launcher, Nougat launcher, DailyDo Launcher and more which I can not remember.
Weather and Widget : Transparent Clock Weather (Free/Paid) - This is a tricky category, I except from weather widget to allow me get to the Clock app ( to setup alarms etc.) by clicking on Time on widget. And this one do, also its battery friendly (depends on fruequency of weather actualizing). It has nice weather and the predictions follows your location.
Link to Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid27.transparentclockweather
I tried : Yahoo weather, Yo Weather, Weather Live, Weather, YR Weather, Today weather
Facebook app : Simple for Facebook (Free/Paid) - Well this section depends on how much you using facebook, I am a simple user I just read feed and sometimes post some status or upload pics, if this is what you want then this app is for you. It works as a wrapper on facebook web API. If you courious you need to give it a try. This app is huge memory and battery saver. Also its very small it needs just 5,6MB of your storage
This app will help you to get better battery life on your phone Mainly if you are runnning out of RAM or Storage the replaces for FB App and FB messaging app will save you.
I will be updating this post as I will be testing more apps. Currently I am looking mainly for Music player and Weather widget If you know any awesome APP which is battery friendly just let me know and I will try it
Any working alternative for FB with Messenger and Android 4.0.3 support? Any working alternative for FB with Messenger and Android 4.0.3 support?
