This is a small (growing) list of the apps that I use daily on my Evo, and that I couldn't imagine living without. I have installed and deleted hundreds of apps, and have spent over $200 in the market on apps that I don't need, so hopefully someone out there in internet land will find this helpful.
I'm going to start this off with the most important app I have and the best purchase I have ever made with regards to the Evo (aside from the Evo itself): LauncherPro Plus.
LauncherPro is in my opinion the best home replacement app available today. I have tried many others including but not limited to ADW, Better Home, DxTop. I used to be a big fan of Sense, and I still like it compared to the stock launcher, but it really can't touch LauncherPro. With LauncherPro, you can completely customize your phone's interface, from the number of homescreens, to custom docks, and everything in between. What I really love about it is the scrollable dock, with the ability to assign whatever apps you want as shortcuts, along with assignable swipe actions. For instance, I have my notifications bar hidden, so I assigned the swipe from the app drawer to drop my notifications down. A swipe from my camera icon opens up the gallery, a swipe from the dialer loads my call history. LauncherPro is extremely stable, I haven't had a single force close from it in over a month (there have been many updates since then), and the dev is incredibly responsive so any issues get cleared up relatively quickly. There is a free version available in the market, but the paid version includes Sense-like widgets (people, calendar, bookmarks, messages) and is available from LauncherPro for $2.99.
Apps-
Swype- I seriously HATED this keyboard when I first tried it. Now I can't live without it.
Smart Keyboard Pro Great multitouch keyboard, very fast with great word correction. I've tried them all, this one is my favorite. I even like it better than the Droid X multitouch keyboard that I was in love with back on 2.1
JuiceDefender- JuiceDefender still works well for non-rooted phones. It turns off your antennas when you're not using them. Simple, but extremely effective.
Spare Parts- All this app does is give you access to hidden settings on your phone. It's extremely useful for checking what apps are using the battery the most (partial wake usage). This app combined with System Panel gives you all the tools you need to track down pesky apps that might be preventing your phone from sleeping properly and killing your battery. I don't really mess with any of the other settings or use it for anything other than battery and usage statistics.
AppBrain- The best way to keep track of all your apps. Sync your app list to your desktop. Now with OTA market installs.
MeCanto- Music streaming service that streams YOUR OWN music so you don't have to store it locally on your Evo. It starts out streaming from your desktop but also uploads your music to their servers so you can listen without leaving your desktop on. Sound quality is way better than you would expect.
Pandora- Free, sounds better than Sirius, and turns me on to a ton of bands that I wouldn't have found otherwise.
MovieFone- I love going to the movies so this app is indespensable for me.
RingDroid - I used it to make my ringtone, Tom Araya's scream at the beginning of Angel of Death \m/. Use it to turn any song into a custom ringtone.
SystemPanel- Waaay more than a just a task manager, use this to track down problematic apps and battery issues. Has a steeper learning curve than all other task managers, but is well worth it once you figure it out. An absolute necessity, right behind LauncherPro.
EasyTether- For sharing your internet connection with a desktop/ laptop. One time fee of $10, works like a charm.
Chrome to Phone- By far one of the coolest features of Froyo. Send websites, maps, youtube videos OTA to your phone from your desktop with the press of a button.
Dropbox- App for online backup, storage and file sharing.
Widgets-
SiMi Clock- Very nice, semi minimalist clock. I really hate the Sense flip clock and it's imitators, this is a great looking alternative
SiMi Folder Widget- I used to use Folder Organizer but this one is much nicer. Has less features than FO but it has everything that I need and I think the folders look a heck of a lot nicer than FO.
Beautiful Widgets- Awesome replacement for the stock HTC flip clock. Has many different skins, a smaller clock widget, and also comes with various toggle widgets that I don't use because I prefer...
SwitchPro- Toggles for all the various antennas and many other things. Great way to consolidate many toggles into a smaller slot on your phone, many different options for customization.
System Info Widget- Great widget that displays your system info at a glance. Battery, temperature, RAM, ROM, SD card geebees.
Gauge Battery Widget- Battery meter modeled off a fuel gauge from a car. Just as awesome as it sounds.
Android Agenda Widget- I like it better than all the other calendar widgets out there and it's free.
Visual Bookmarks- There really isn't a great selection of bookmarks widgets out there, so I settled on this one. It's free, it does what it's supposed to do and has zero issues.
Games-
GalaxIR Star- Awesome fast paced multiplayer RTS.
Armored Strike- Cool Worms-like multiplayer game.
Robo Defense- Hands down the best tower defense game on Android.
Dante: The Inferno- VERY polished action/ puzzler based off the first book from Dante's divine comedy. My current favorite game.
Iron Sight- Like Armored Strike except in 3D and no multiplayer yet.
SpeedX 3D- Really cool game with accelerometer based controls. Hard to describe, you're flying through a tunnel trying to avoid colliding with blocks and other obstacles. Great time waster.
Homerun Battle 3D- Just getting into it, I can see why this is one of the most popular games for Android.
Hyper Jump- Cool twist on the stale jumping game genre. Little Big Planet style artwork, great control. Fun game to play when you only have a few minutes.
Radiant- Awesome updated Space Invaders style game with great retro style graphics.
Meteor Blitz- Really cool asteroids style game with awesome graphics, and great control.
Assassin's Creed- Altair's Chronicles- Great Gameloft action/platformer with some of the best 3D graphics I've seen on Android. Control is surprisingly simple.
SpaceSTG- Awesome single player space RTS that is like a cross between GalaxIR Star and OGame.
Heavy Gunner- Use your thumbs and the accelerometer to control gun turrets, shooting down what I think are supposed to be alien ships. I love this game.
N.O.V.A- Bad ass futuristic first person shooter, very similar to Halo.
Glyder 2- Relaxing flying game where you pilot your character around a MASSIVE open word collecting crystals and power ups. Reminiscent of Pilot Wings for the N64.
Fruit Ninja- iPhone best seller now on Android. Cut flying fruit in half with your sword be swiping the screen. Sounds really stupid but it is HIGHLY addictive.
Mini Squadron- Holy crap this game is amazing. Another iPhone best seller. Dogfighting with cute little planes. Multiplayer as well.
Angry Birds- The iPhone bestseller is now available on Android for FREE. Quite possibly the most addictive Android game I have played yet.
Sinister Planet- A little gem of a space shooter. Controls are a little difficult at first but once you get used to them the game becomes extremely fun. Very challenging game.
Reckless Racing- Top down racing game. Awesome controls, and some of the best graphics I've seen on my Evo
SteamBirds- Turn based, top down dogfighting. Highly polished and highly addictive.
Armored Defense- New TD game. A little tricky at first but a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.
Defensoid- TD game with cool retro graphics.
Grave Defense- post apocayptic/zombie themed TD
Gun Bros- Cool dual stick shooter
Tank Hero- Fun little tank game. Try bouncing your shots off walls.
Rocket Bunnies- Awesome time waster. Pilot your rocket bunny from planet to planet picking up your friends while avoiding baddies. This might become my new favorite game. (Thanks dirkyd3rk!)
Air Attack HD- Top down shooter, like 1941 but with a significant graphical overhaul. Awesome graphics, great gameplay.
*For Rooted Phones ONLY*
Wireless Tether- Exactly what it says, and it works great.
Titanium Backup- Still learning how to use it, but it did help me remove all the pre-loaded Sprint apps that I don't need.
AutoStarts- Startup manager, lets you disable apps from loading at startup, and many other conditions. Its amazing to see what causes some apps to load. For instance, IMDB is set to load when the the phone's storage is low, crazy. It also helps explain why certain apps reload themselves after killing them and now you can prevent that from happening. I now have over 220 mb of RAM available after startup.
Juice Defender- Disables data connection based on profiles that you set, increasing battery life dramatically. Can also throttle CPU but I use SetCPU for that.
SetCpu- CPU overclock/ underclock that automatically adjusts CPU speed based on profiles that you set. Works very well with Juice Defender to save battery and increase performance.
ROM Manager- Great tool that lets you download ROMs directly and flash them straight from the app. Reduces the headache of having to manually boot into recovery to flash ROMs. It has other great tools too, like ROM backup/restore, flashing different recoveries, and updating your ROM all through the app.
Root Explorer- File manager for rooted phones. Allows full R/W access to entire system including system and data folders.
Hot Reboot- Quick reboot like Desire HD. Just reboots your ROM and not the entire phone. Great way to free up memory and to fix sluggish performance. I recommend doing it once a day to keep your phone performing at its best.
Remote Desktop- Awesome way to access the file structure of your phone from any browser on your computer. Can send and receive sms as well.
PicMe- From the same developer as ShootMe. Does screenshots but within your computer's browser instead of directly on the phone. Much quicker and easier to use this for caps than ShootMe.
Quadrant- The standard for benchmarking. Be warned though- A higher benchmark score does not always translate to better real world performance.
Check back often as this list is constantly being updated. Feel free to ask me any questions about any of the apps I've listed.
Also, if anyone has any app recommendations, feel free to post them and maybe we can compile a combined list of the XDA EVO forum's favorite apps.

10char
...and one more
Apps:
Folder Organizer- Lets you organize your apps into categories, then lets you put them up as widgets/shortcuts, and when you click on it, a popup with all the related apps comes up. Epic to say the least
Jam11- relatively good app for streaming music from iTunes onto your phone anywhere.
Flikie Walls HD- Great wallpaper app.
Vlingo- Like a better version of google voice search, because it also integrates more commands and is more accurate
Games
Gameboid- GBA emulator..
Psx4droid- Psx emulator
Super Tumble- weird puzzle game where you delete support from under a star to try to get it safely on a platform below
Amtalee- Definately one of the most intense puzzle games ever in which you flip around a tower of blocks on a map to fall into a hole. Sounds easy? Get ready to scream in frustration.
Zenonia- Basically an intense Zelda clone
Widgets:
Battstatt- A great word battery meter; displays your battery level remaining in a text string
Audiomanager Pro- Lets you set sound profiles, perfect for students/buisness people'
You can access the battery history option of spare parts through launcher pro via the activities option under add to homescreen.
I was using launcher pro plus for a time but have since gone back to sense. Yes launcher pro is a nice stable launcher but I had to use extra apps for widgets.
Switchpro widget is a good app but it bugs out sometimes when trying to turn on/off mobile data.
Right now my current apps are:
Tasker (replaces ALOT of other apps like switchpro, juicedefender,battery loggers)
Current widget
Temp+cpu v2
Root explorer
TIB
Astro
Wireless tether
Tempmonitor
Tasker is my favorite to date and the most powerful.
What the crap?! I had no freaking idea that Gameloft made Android versions of all these games. Just switched from iPhone a few weeks ago and I was having H.A.L.O. and Dungeon Hunter withdrawals....THANK YOU .
Why the heck aren't they in the Market? Or am I just a n00b...

Welcome to the winning team, by the way.
Hey nice list guys. I'll add some of my favorites as well.
Apps:
Zombie Booth: Take a picture of someones face and it will transform them into an animated zombie! Pretty neat experience.
PowerAMP Music Player: A very neat and nice graphical music player for android. Has a built in equalizer and tons of nice features.
Games:
Unblockme Free: An addicive puzzle game where you move pieces out of the way in order to move the red piece outside.
Totemo: Another puzzle game where you get rid of little heads in a specific number order. Graphics are pretty good for a android game.
N.O.V.A: A halo like clone for android. Online multiplayer included as well as a single player campaign. Nice experience for those looking for a quick death match.
Firehouse scheduler: if you work shift work it is a must have app put in one rotation and it automatically fills in the rest also syncs with google calender so you don't have to manually transfer all that info.

Audiogalaxy also rocks!
don't forget mobile defense....
Yes, it is still in beta, but I've had it from the beginning, and it is a major life-saver.
I'm sure that once they come out of beta, this list will still be here, so I'm putting it in.
Check it out https://www.mobiledefense.com/session/new
Is there any app out there that acts like a mini dashboard?
For example when im at my desk (most of the day) I have my phone plugged in charging or whatnot, next to me being useless... It would be so useful to have a micro auto updating dashboard next to my monitor.
maybe displaying; Gmail messages, twitter messages, time/weather.. facebook notifications, countdown, events all rolled into one sleek theme able application?
I use an old casette tape opened up to hold my hero at the right angle ;p So its like dock holder.. at the moment theres just the built in "Clock" but thats a bit boring... plus not so usefull.
This could also incorporate business statistics or display open tickets, like a mini panic status board: http://www.panic.com/blog/2010/03/the-panic-status-board/
Also for some great inspiration: http://ultimatewallboard.com/
I would love to create this myself, but don't have time to learn Java, let alone the app!
Maybe something like this already exists?

Hi,
Android platform is growing and more and more people are using an android phone or an android tablet. Some of painting/art dedicated applications are still in development and sometimes there are no equivalent, compared to iphone/ipad app sets.
What are your experiences on the android platform and what applications, do you use for game/entertainment/education or daily work as an artist or art lover ?
Any suggestions to enrich this topic is welcome. Its main objective is to have a panorama of "Art" dedicated apps for the android platform. Thanks for your contributions
============================
List of applications with links & descriptions from android market (a google spreadsheet could be edited if useful):
Digital Canvas (paint/painting/editing/sketching/drawing...):
Canvas
"Android's best painting and editing suite!"
Magic Doodle
"The sketching, drawing and painting application with full features for beginners, advanced users and professionals."
Magic Marker
"MagicMarker is a simple touch-paint program for writing and drawing neon-style on a black background."
PaintJoy
"A cute touch-paint app for you and your kids. It has a special "MOVIE" mode to playback your drawing like movie."
SketchBook Mobile
"Autodesk SketchBook® Mobile is a professional-grade paint and drawing application offering a full set of sketching tools and a streamlined and intuitive user interface."
Sketcher

Magic Doodle Premium
Main features:
- 6 Pencils and 40 art brushes selection and adjustment
- 4 smudge effects
- 6 eraser heads
- Abstract painting
- Symmetrical drawing and painting
- 15 color palettes with premixed colors
- Color wheel with HSV - RGB - HEX editable values
- 3 layers with duplication, transition, mirror flip, image importation, background fill, merge and move
- Last used colors and tools
- Export and share the paintings
- Video replay of the paintings (video actually not exportable)
- 6 canvas sizes
I simply love this program as it really does perform as a digital canvas should.
Sketchbook Mobile as mentioned above is also very good and has similar amounts of brushes and controls.
For users who have a Galaxy Tab though it does not conform to the screen size, you have to use another program named Spare Parts to alter the Apps resolution in order to make it fit correctly.

Issued you with a vote of thanks for putting this together.
P.S. Many thanks for mine ~ each vote of thanks I receive is transfered into £10 UK pounds for charity.
My nurses are authorized to take £10 out of my wallet when they notice I receive a new vote of thanks.
I know this thread is a few months old now but you might be interested in adding my app Fresco to the list. It's a painting/sketching app for Android that has full layers support and also features filters (e.g. blur, emboss, brightness). See here for more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052925
Sketcher Pro or Sketcher is the best artistic drawing apps.
Here's my little question.
Do you know like this apps? Technical Brushing?
Cuz Sketcher is the good apps but some deficiency
No Brush Size
No Layers
Add the photo but no resize and no remove
Maybe this features porting another apps? Or Sketcher brushes porting another apps? Is that possible?
Or maybe they're suggest like this apps?
Thanks for answer

"Should I Wear Pants?" is a novelty weather app that takes your location, gender, and temperature preferences, retrieves your local weather, and lays out for you what to wear.
In addition to the novelty, it really does save me time in the morning - I was surprised, we conceived it as just a fun little novelty thing. Previously, I'd go to the office, turn on my computer, go online to look up the weather, and infer what to wear; now, I no longer need to even enter my office in the morning. I suppose this is mitigated if you have a decent weather app already, but I never really found one I liked that much. Those also don't tell you what to wear
We tried to make the default temperature preferences sane, but they're easy to adjust.
Link:
Free version
Basic features:
Jacket versus T-shirt
Pants versus shorts
Temperature preferences for all available slots
Temperature units preference - Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
Optionally, fun holiday outfits on major holidays (US holidays, that is - for those outside the US, we're open to adding outfits for your holidays, we just don't have them yet)
Premium features (in addition to everything in the free version):
Sunglasses
Hat
Gloves
Umbrella
Shoes versus flip-flops
Swagger mode - this, like Swagger Mode in AOKP, is a surprise
"I wear my sunglasses at night" mode - this is fairly self-explanatory
This isn't exactly a feature, but the premium version also doesn't have advertisements; the free version does
Upcoming features (in approximately the order we're going to do them):
Solar position during the day - a graphical indicator of the sun's position
Long-sleeve shirts - these would be used at some point between T shirts and jackets; possibly have a setting to control what point that would be
A dew point setting for flip-flops - nobody likes walking around in cold, wet grass with open footwear
A setting to weight the average we take between the low and high temperatures for the Today and Tomorrow tabs
Some live wallpapers with weather and/or wardrobe information
Home screen widgets - one per "slot" from the main screen
Changelog:
1.5.0 - 2012-12-20
Both versions
Added the capability for users to specify their location. To do this:
Open the preferences screen
Under "ABOUT YOU", uncheck "Use Current Location"
The "Location" option will be made available - open this to set your location.
Refer to the Help topic called "Specifying Your Location" for more information on supported formats, etc.
Added Christmas outfits; these will run from the 23rd to the 27th if you're in Calendar Fun mode.
Fixed a number of small issues with location and weather detection.
This was made possible by some new automated testing; we now have approximately 275 cities around the world verified as working and accurate, while ensuring no regressions occurred for the common case when fixing the edge cases.
Note that this doesn't cover the entire world; thus far, we have the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand covered. We are working to add coverage to the rest of the world.
1.4.0 - 2012-12-03
Both versions
Added a new system for reporting to the user when problems occur. This will make it significantly more clear what's happening when something goes wrong, and adds an easy way to E-mail a problem report to us.
1.3.5 - 2012-11-27
Both versions
Fixed an issue in holiday calculation that was causing the entire month after a given holiday to still be considered that holiday. This was presenting itself with the rest of November after Thanksgiving still displaying holiday clothing when Calendar Fun mode was on.
Fixed an issue with icon sizing causing the full 512x512 icon to be displayed in certain positions, in certain ROMs. In particular, we noticed it when a lock-screen shortcut to the app was created in CM10.
1.3.4 - 2012-11-22
Both versions
Updated the "Geocoder fail " error message to be a bit more descriptive and helpful.
1.3.3 - 2012-11-18
Both versions
Added an American Thanksgiving outfit; this includes a T shirt with a roast turkey on it, and will be shown on Thanksgiving and the preceding day
Extended Halloween outfits to also include the preceding day
Premium version
The Thanksgiving outfit also includes oven mitts in place of gloves, a colonial pilgrim-style hat for men, and a colonial style bonnet for women
1.3.2 - 2012-11-12
Both versions
Changed the landscape layout to make better use of all the horizontal screen real estate
1.3.1 - 2012-11-07
Both versions
Finally put the empty wardrobe issue to bed for good, we hope.
Free version
Fixed an issue causing free-version-capable slots to be marked as premium-only for approximately half of users (by our estimate).
1.3.0 - 2012-11-06
Both versions
Fixed yet another issue that was causing empty wardrobes, in particular on screen orientation change.
Laid the scaffolding for the sun position feature.
1.2.2 - 2012-11-02
Both versions
Fixed another issue that was causing empty wardrobes.
1.2.1 - 2012-10-30
Premium version
Added an individual temperature setting for hats; previously, the hat was enabled any time the jacket was enabled.
1.2.0 - 2012-10-29
Both versions
Fixed an issue causing empty wardrobes.
Added "Calendar Fun" mode - this gives fun outfits on holidays.
Free version
On Halloween, the T shirt will have a skeleton on it.
Premium version
The Halloween outfit also consists of a jack-o-lantern bucket in place of the umbrella, a pumpkin beanie for men, and a witch's hat for women.
1.1.2 - 2012-10-27
Both versions
Added an option to set preferred temperature units - Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
Added the "Special thanks" page to the help section.
Premium version
Added Swagger mode.
Added "I wear my sunglasses at night" mode.
1.1.1 - 2012-10-25
Both versions
Fixed some minor issues around interface scaling.
1.1.0 - 2012-10-24
Both versions
Added a help section to explain and work around common issues.
1.0 - 2012-10-22
Initial app release
Space reserved for future use

Love this app!
Great job! I must say that I've been using this app since it came out on the Play store, and it's been great. I used to check weather.com every morning, and I would have to check the daily forecast and click through three pages of "hourly" weather predictions in order to figure out two things: (1) did I need to wear pants, and (2) should I wear a jacket--when I rode my bike in to work in the morning.
Now, when I wake up, I just open up Should I Wear Pants?, check "Now" and "Today", and wear what it says. I've already customized it for my style, and now that it's getting colder out, it's been critical to know when to man-up and drive in, and when to put on my gloves and ride my bike.
Useful and fun app
I was one of the first to download this app and I must say that it is very useful. I always use to go on websites on my computer or use some other apps (none of which I really liked) to get the weather for the day and still I had to figure out what to wear. This app not only pulls the weather for the location you currently are, it also (thanks to preferences and customization within the app) suggests to you what to wear.
When I frist got it, there were a few bugs, but since the original download, I have downloaded a few new updates (some with pretty fun features such as holidy mode, and swagger mode) that have fixed any bugs that I encountered.
I would overall rate the app a 5/5 for its purpose and the fun things you can do with it as well.
P.S. Listen to what the app tells you if you have your preferences right. I was recently in Atlanta which is a bit warmer than where I am from (the North East) and I wore jeans one day which is not what the app told me to wear based on my suggestions. Lets just say I was sweating a tad bit that dat. The app really works and is helpful.
Definitely reccommended!
Brilliant.
Just pushed an update that significantly improves the layout in landscape orientation. Feedback welcome!
Just pushed an update that adds American Thanksgiving outfits. These will be run on Thanksgiving and the preceding Wednesday. The outfits include roast turkey designs on the T shirts, oven mitts in place of the gloves, colonial pilgrim style hats for men, and colonial style bonnets for women.
Enjoy, and as always, feedback welcome!
This is just like Swackett! I loved that on my Mac. THANKS.
Damn, and here I thought our idea was unique =p

I just saw the description and ran straight for the paid one! Amazing idea! Can`t wait to play with it.
One thing I can tell is missing right away, though.. WIDGET! Please make a widget for this. it`d be awesome to switch to my weather page, and see what I should wear right away without needing an app

That's one of the next things we're releasing I don't think it's going to make it into the 1.4 release, which is going to have a significant overhaul of the settings and an addition of several other items of clothing to each slot. I'm in the process of learning how to make home screen widgets, though - we're currently thinking one widget per slot.
If you have a weather page, though, one widget per slot probably won't work - in fact I'd imagine every slot wouldn't even fit on one dedicated page. I hadn't considered this use case - I'm thinking we'll also make a large widget that contains the whole thing.
Pushed an update yesterday that makes the "Geocoder fail " error message a bit more clear. People who have gotten this error message - please check out our help screen under the "Geocoder" section.
This app goes great with the Should I Change My Underwear app!

Pushed an update yesterday that fixes a problem with our holiday calculation - basically, every day of November that occurred after Thanksgiving was still considered Thanksgiving for the purpose of the outfit. We also fixed icon sizing - I noticed that our 512x512 icon was being displayed at full size when I put it in a lock-screen shortcut in CM10.
Just pushed yet another update - this one adds a new system for reporting problems to you when something bad happens. This will make it significantly more clear what's going wrong when problems occur - it makes it easier to fix problems yourself, while at the same time providing a very easy way to E-mail a report of the problem(s) to us for assistance.
Edit: Also, we would really love some feedback on this! And in addition, if anybody in this thread is someone who 1-starred the app because things weren't working, I implore you to re-evaluate the app now that we've (A) solved the major issues and (B) provided this great new error reporting system.
