From the Market:
Turn your Android phone’s mobile hotspot on and off from your tablet.
Start and stop your Android phone’s built-in tethering service without touching a single button! Save battery life and always have a mobile hotspot when you need one. If you tether your Android tablet to your Android mobile phone, this program is for you.
Works perfectly from TF to CM7 Desire
just tried xWeather complete, and it seems to me to be the best weather app for tabket format. It takes advantage of the screen size, and is an appropriate file size. Asks to bookmark location on every open, not sure about that yet, but it seems miles better than most.

Your phone is gay without one of them.
I'm learning Russian and German so Dictionaries and Google translator are my favorite apps.

Google Plus - I don't use Facebook.
and Google Finance.
Apart from what's already been mentioned above...
Just Pictures - I have my local, facebook, picasa and deviant art photos all in one place.

Freenote+ - my go to note taking app
Dolphin Browser HD
Whatsapp - hardly send any sms messages now
Picsart
Pro HDR Camera
Caustic - easily the best Android music sequencer
Audio Evolution - easily the best Android multi track recorder
Tape machine - the best app for playing and chopping audio files
Loopstack - hours of fun. the best looper on Android.
Easyband - good for mapping out song ideas
Solo - nice for noodling around with song ideas
My guitar - more realistic than Solo, but a bit fiddly on the touch screen as your fingers have no traction on the strings.
Moon+ Reader
Showtimes
aCar - good for tracking costs and mileage

Action Launcher Pro; Love this launcher on AOSP ROMs..
FlowFree; Nice Game..
Every device on XDA has one so why not us, I also own the tombile version but hey its basically the same thing, 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
A couple ones I find useful:
Zarchiver - a file manager/explorer program. Makes extracting and keeping track of things a lot easier.
App Garden - Bunch of utilities in one. Calculator, unit conversions, dictionary, etc. Great value and space saver.

Also, not sure of this is really "useful", but if you're a fan of anime, I'd recommend you download Watchwhatanime. It's a free anime streaming app with an extremely wide selection, so you'll more than likely find whatever anime you're into. Especially good if you're into Naruto, Bleach or any other currently running anime that Crunchyroll holds out on. If you don't mind waiting an extra day, the latest episodes are available, as opposed to either waiting a week or paying for a crunchyroll subscription.

Have you seen the recently updated version? It's much easier. Just pick your anime, select the "episodes" tab, choose your episode and click a streaming link (options available for most of them are videoweed, video44, novamov) all streaming links for that episode contain the same episode. There's just multiple there in case one link is broken.

People, I think the point of this was to post "Non- Play Store" apps, as in ones only found on forums on XDA.

I think that the name and target of the thread is not clear enough.
It mentioned specifically "aren't too popular". So... wtf is 'What's up' doing with that?! And most of the rest.
Please only put apps that you found, use and not seen in the first pages on the forum. Do not make this a list with your apps... please!

The OP listed tasker as an app. Its on the play store. People can post whatever cool apps they use. If you don't like it, start your own thread.

This. And I mean seriously, how long until these apps hit market? It's the most available platform. A cool app is a cool app on xda or store
But we already have tons of "what's your favorite app" threads. It would be interesting to discover new sous that aren't already on the okay store. But it's whatever. Do as you please everyone.

New rule you have to put a short description for each app you mention
Aptoide uploader is really nifty. You make yout own private app store for your friends. I liked it over a competitor appsfire.

Nice j dee! I hate it when my youtube shuts off in the gym. Can't leave the screen on and put it back in my pocket
Come on peeps keep em coming. I like the list so far. It's small and precise not large and burgeoning. Let's go over something very relevant: STREAMING from your HD
Jbeans 4.2 Camera- Full Screen Camera (compared to 4.1.2) and gallery you could flash for your 4.1.2 phone
Mediahouse Player- An organized app that collects all the shared music videos off of shared directories on your computer use in conjunction with. Allows you to favorite directories/devices. Really neat app
mx player- easy ui can easily disable/enable hardware software encoding for audio and video during play
v player- like mxplayer, could be better with UI, but unlike MX player allows you to set buffer to a whopping 8mb...so longer initial load for video but plays back perfectly otherwise
ES file explorer- save network drives
I usually make the default player for ES v player and for media house mx player. Good setup. Mx Player allows you to manage defaults for video players in-app too. Another neat feature. Well worth the money for that app.
From the computer end there are a lot of options to stream (I made a post about this a while back...search on me) but I like PS3 Media server 1.70.1 for my PS3. It allows for real-time transcoding for devices where your video format (ie mkv) isn't available. I also install TVersity server on my computer end and both servers as well as the raw files allow me to wirelessly stream every tv show except for planet earth which has a ridiculous bitrate.
Only other thing to worry about on the computer end is to make sure your sharing settings etc are set up as openly as possible. I have a homegroup password and everyone in it is allowed to at least read my directories
Hey zetsui,
sure, I love my HOX and GNEX phones (by now even more than my PC) and why not participate in sharing cool underdog apps?
Is that Mediahouse player the one you can download from the Play Store? Sounds pretty usable to me

Mi sound recorder

Way better than stock audio recorder. Can record as mp3 at 128kbit/s, good enough for me. Of course, you can increase it. Can record as ogg too.
Solid explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer
Might be popular, but worth a mention anyway. Fast, free, full of useful features, no ads... Did I mention the slick ui?
Cpu adjuster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.cputweaks
Like setcpu, but free. You can have 3 profiles in the free version. Ought to be good enough for beginners.
Also worth checking out: servers ultimate.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate
These apps are in xda too, but play store linking is more convenient.
Advanced Touchpad Remote Control
