Hi guys, I'm new to xda-developers. Can anybody help me which android apps are mostly widely used now a days...
Thanks in advance...
Your question is a little broad. Games? Productivity? Flashing?
I think most people on this forum would agree that Titanium Backup is near the top of any list.
Seems like everyone but me is playing Angry Birds.
Most people get a lot of use out of the Music apps. And if you have functioning GPS (you should be able to get there from studying the posts on the forum) you'll get a lot of use out of Google Maps and Navigation.

Thanks for the reply, Soccer_Dad.
Well, I'm asking about the Android Games. I've bought a new android mobile and I don't know what games to be played. I like adventurous kind of games.
Can u suggest me some websites...?

Thanks a ton PhilDsT and Jamay for the your support.
Can I know which is best among Android, Iphone, Blackberry, Symbian and others. I've searched a lot for this, but I can't get right answer.
Of course this is not a poll, I'm just waiting for someone telling me the effective answer.
Thanks in advance.
I will try with my simple english (and a little help from google =)
(for thanks, there is a button at the bottom right of each post)
This is not a poll, this is a troll
There is no best mobile operating system, and no right answer...
That depend on your needs, android is open (a little free), iOS is closed (but can be open), Symbian doesn't have the success it deserve and i don't know blackberry.
My favorite is AOSP ; android open source project (with custom rom), because I find all apps I need and all mods I need...
@ Jamay......Sorry for my bad English......

Thanks found this very helpful. There is a lot out there nice to see what others are using and like.
We make a couple of very useful applications for rooted users, some of you may know and use them. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in adding one or two of the free versions to their ROM builds. Its seems like a win-win situation.
We have tested all these apps extensively on our own Sensations (including ICS) and they work flawlessly!
The ones i think would fit well are Call Master:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291587
Its an advanced call and SMS manager (blocking, routing, private inbox, lots of other stuff). The free version has no ads and full functionality. The only restrictions are nag screens.
Screenshot ER:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17212860
I know this may seem superfluous, but this is a proper screenshot tool with lots and lots of features. Again, theres no ads in the free version, full functionality is only restricted by a short delay.
Maybe Prepay Widget:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006487
A USSD balance manager with higly configurable text wisgets. Its completely free, no ads.
And finally Power Switch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153788
This is something of a chimera app that does cool things like turn off the screen when you shut the case of your device. Free, no ads, only restricted by delays.
Please let me know if youre interested!
Any takers? We do make some of the coolest apps on android...
Bump so devs can see

They might also want to add SwitchMe - its in my sig and its our newest creation!
Wouldn't it be best if you contacted individual devs?
i believe if youre apps are good enough they will get a name.
if they have a name chefs will notice them and prob ask you if they may include it
Right... I'll keep that in mind, but since our apps are already in some of the most popular rooms (overcome for one) they already have a name.

Why Screenshot ER? Ice Cream Sandwich has native Screenshot capabilities, and I would thing most people would be pretty satisfied with that.
This is not development so it moved to General...
Right, not development, silly me! Let's hope all those devs read the general section...
Thread destroyed by moderation.
I would like to hear what everyone thinks is the best of the best.
Anything related to Skyrocket/SGS II LTE, and Android.
Roms, Kernels, Modems, Apps, Games, Themes, etc.
I've tried doing this before, but people aren't too contributory unfortunately. I can direct you to r/android which will help you get a lot more general Android information, as well as just a good community with cool insights. Check out top rated posts over X time frame, and use the search to find recommendations for almost everything.
But in case this starts off; go to myColorScreen to find cool theme ideas. And apps I recommend downloading are Pokemon Tower Defense (awesome game) and Faceniff / Network Spoofer (facebook session hijacking / general prank device for people on your wifi [ replace all images with a trollface, redirect them to kittenwar.com ] )

I check here for ROMs and a few other random threads, but for general android info/news/tips I go to Reddit. I dunno if you've used Reddit before (it's a bit complicated), but once you get used to it it'll pretty much replace any website you used to go to for science, pics, android, music, jokes, memes, etc etc.
Just Pictures is a great Gallery alternative... XDA Edition of Better Battery Stats = must have!
Goo Manager is also a nice alternative to Rom Manager...

I don't allow a "best" thread as it causes more flaming, trolling and just problems in general.
This is an idea that has come to my mind recently of which i think we can all profit:
What about sharing user reviews in play store? Every Dev knows that it's hard to get reviews, especially in the beginning.
And often the users that like the app don't give reviews and the one's that don't understand the app leave reviews with one star like "don't understand" or "not working".
So what about we developers team up, try a lot of other dev's apps, write emails if we have ideas to make it better and leave professional reviews in play store if we like it?
I could make this thread a collection of dev's taking part if there are some people who like the idea.
Looking forward to answers!
EDIT: Also users who want to support their devs by taking part are most welcome!
reserved for app collection
The good apps I have seen in the Play Store are:
1. Temple Runner: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imangi.templerun&hl=en
2. Auto Off Manager:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appzdevelopers.autoffmanagerf
3, Avast Anti_Virus: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.mobilesecurity&hl=en
One does not simply call avast the best as it's the most common and therefore, the most countered anti-malware in order to target successfully the highest amount of users.
I don't believe antiviruses on phone. No impact I think. Only improve ram usage

That's true. Almost in all android cells, I have seen the Avast is installed. I do not have any doubt. It would be in number one for some years may be. Talking to the Gaming world, Temple Runner is also ahead, but we do not know how much time it would be... Because candy crush made crazy to people and other competitors come in market. Regarding the Auto Off Manager, there is no one to compete it as it is unique one and some apps are there in market but I do not think that that are comparable with this one.

For mentally Satisfaction, antivirus is required. I also have not seen any active participation of antivirus in android.
Thank you

Please do some proper research before posting
The apps aren't the best but they are your preferred, the thread looks pointless and I will reported as soon as I will collect more reasons
Do you want to be popular? Do something useful for the community not opening threads with your personal opinions bloating the forum
"the best " is subjective in this android world as well in the real life, try to be realistic

Antivirus?
In my simple opinion the best antivirus for your computer and mobile devices is called COMMON SENSE.

Hi xanthrax,
I do not know, in which way I hurt you. But truly speaking what I felt right, has written. Till now I do not know what to do for the community. But assure you that, I would not break the law of community. Word "The" always placed before best. If you can suggest me what to write before best, then I would be open always.
Few apps what I felt are better for android users also will suggest in this thread. Please do not make any thread as controversial one.
If you feel any apps are much more better than what I suggested, you are welcome, so that I may use the best one.
If I have hurt you by any means then I am apologizing for my words.
Thank you
I'll contribute a bit to this usefull thread .
Apps that are really usefull or impressive are:
- Titanium Backup Pro
- 2lines for whatsapp
- Tapatalk, of course for XDA
- Chrome ( far away the best browser for high end phones )
- Smooth Browser ( the best browser for low end - high end phones I made it myself, link is in my signature )
- Greenify
- Xposed Framework
- Nova Prime
- Zooper Widgets Pro
This are my favorites/best apps for today.

These are really good apps.
It would be better if you can give the link with these apps.
Above the apps, I am using the Chrome and WhatsApp. Others will at least once give a try.
ok , i will expand my point a little bit more.
there is no broken written xda rule on this thread or similar to it so far .
when open a new thread , you have noticed that you`ve been suggested to check first whether another similar thread has been already opened or not
my quick search revealed

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425813 (well , pulled from market)
and maybe some more ...
another point is that not all devices are supporting certain applications , there are hundreds of phones and few dozens of android versions reason why , the most indicated place to open a thread about your favourite/best apps is in your device thread unless someone already done it .
example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425813
the xda recommendation is to not to open BEST threads but mostly regarding ROMs and KERNELS because it can trigger a flame war around it
which is best for you may be not the same for me ... conflicts
regarding apps and themes it is different but while on themes section there are good and sedulous maintainers who knows what they do , here on apps sections these kind of threads creates more confusion bloating the search index with more and more results
now , it is up to you how you can deal with but i have the feeling that these threads will end up becoming nothing but another outdated list of apps , list which can be also easily found on Google using search
the last member who posted the list already did it on another thread , well , everyone has this right though ...
i`m sure you`ve got my point even though it isn`t easy to accept it
there are lot of other ways to help people and to contribute to community if this is your intention and only a quick search on my profile it will help you to understand how easy it is

i should have done this using a p.m. but observing other`s involvement i have chosen this way
however , further opinions around my point it will go private
