List of cool apps NOT found in Market & cool unknown Market Apps!!

Step 1: Go to Settings, Applications, and check download apps from unknown sources. This will enable you to download third party apps not found in Market. You can download all these apps from the Internet Browser directly on your phone.
I'd recommend getting a Dropbox account and downloading Dropbox & Astro File Manager/ES File Explorer (any other file manager should suffice) on your phones.
Here's my referral for Dropbox (You and I get extra space!):
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTkwNzUxMDk
When you download the apk's use dropbox to store the apk files in the cloud. You will use the file manager of your choice to direct Dropbox where the file is located. This helps with having to re-install apps and avoiding having to search for them again. Dropbox is handy for a grip of other uses such as storing your class papers, pictures, presentations, documents, resume, etc.

Does SMS Backup and Restore work well? I was just searching for something like that and there are a lot of sms backup apps available. It'd be nice to have one that works with MMS too, but as long as I can keep most of my messages I will be happy. My Backup looked promising as well. Edit: I just noticed My Backup lists MMS support, so that's probably the one I'll use.

[APPS] What are your top 5 favorite cant live without apps

How is the community doing?
With so many apps available in the android market (google play) I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread with peoples top 5 cant live without favorite apps.
You can include any app with the exception of games there is a separate thread for that already, just make sure to note free or paid after the app name. Maybe we can bring apps to light that not many people dont know exist but are great!
Ill start my top 5 cant live without apps are:
1. Teamviever - free - productivity app that allows me to remotely connect to computers and help others diagnose issues
2. Work shifts free - free - app that keeps track of worked hours, pay days, etc
3. eBay - free - app that allows me to buy, sell on ebay
4. Dropbox - free - great for backing up files or just having extra storage
5. XDA premium - paid ($1.49) - keeps me connected to xda while mobile

Have you tried friendcaster? I recently switched and I'm never going back. The app is faster with notifications that actually work, plus birthday notifications. And friendcaster chat messages actually show up instantaneously so you can hold a conversation without having to constantly refresh. The only tradeoff is that due to facebook's permissions, some posts don't show up in the app. Big emphasis on some, I get 99% of posts and i check the website occasionally anyway so its basically a non-issue.

Here are mine, that I use daily.

There is no good reason to be stuck with Wind branded 2.2.2.

The problem is that 5 apps only get's me rolling again after a new ROM flash.

4. Xpress Connect (for WiFi @ work)
5. ES file Explorer

2. Amazon
3. Swype
4. Camera apps (LG mod for CM7, HDR Camera, Instagram, Flickroid)
5. BeyondPod Pro
I've started to use Flipboard too but find it too Twitter heavy and I don't like that it still requires a lot of loading from outside pages.
