Reader; gReader Pro
Calendar; CalenGoo
Launcher; ADWLauncher EX
XDA; XDA Premium (of course)
Twitter; Seesmic
Keyboard; Smart Keyboard Pro
File Manager / Explorer; Root Explorer
Android Automation; Tasker (easily the most amazing Android application)
System Info / Management; SystemPanel
Messaging; Handcent SMS
Honorable mentions;
Dropbox
Google Chrome to Phone
SportsTap
Rainy Days
Google Docs
LCD Density Changer (can be done without app use - but easy and simple)
I find the above to be 'essential' applications, while also being extremely stable. I hate me some buggy apps. The above should work without issue.

Here here for Tasker and CalenGoo. Haven't tried GREaderPro, but have checked others. Might have to do so.
keep em coming folks,. always looking for app suggestions

Hey all, new to the forum and the Android world so far. I'm loving my Inspire 4G. Coming from ios, the options in the android market were at first a disappointment. But I'll try out some of these suggestions.

CalenGoo was originally an iOS app and seems to have made the transition quite nicely. Widgets need a bit of work. For a calendar app with Google calendar functionality, I have yet to find an equal.
And if you're a 'reader' like me, who gets most of their info from tons of feeds, than gReaderPro is the perfect app. Have tried most of them and this is easily the most stable and well balanced one out.
ADWLauncher EX is also a great alternative launcher to check out. Smooth and full of options.
Google Docs is also key, perfect and lite.
Seesmic for lite Twitter users is nice, as well.

[APP][2.2+] App Quarantine (ROOT) --- new beta version!!!

APP QUARANTINE is a tool to freeze unwanted apps. It does not only allow you to disable any
pre-installed bloatware, but is also able to have your apps only available when you need them.
Therefore you can also use home screen widgets to quickly toggle without even launching the app.
App Quarantine works on all Android devices with Android 2.2 and later (up to version 1.28).
The new version (1.29 and later) will only work on Android 4.0 and later.
The app is 100% free, no ads, no malicious advertising scams

Features of App Quarantine PRO:
- toggle multiple apps at once, from the app or from home screen widgets
- toggle apps from notifications (Android 4.1+ only)
- Quarantine drawer
- Password protection
App Quarantine PRO works on all Android devices with Android 2.2 and later (up to version 2.8).
The new version (2.9 and later) will only work on Android 4.0 and later.
Newest feature in beta version:
The brand new Quarantine drawer is like the app drawer of your launcher but allows to launch disabled apps instantly. The Quarantine drawer only shows quarantined apps, but you can hide apps which you never need at all. Furthermore there's a "Favorites" screen which shows the apps you need more frequently, no matter if they are currently in Quarantine or not.
The Quarantine drawer can be launched in different ways:
- By an icon from your home screen
- By using activities from a 3rd party launcher (e.g. Nova or Apex)
- By using the Google Now gesture (*)
(*) Works fine on Nexus phones. If you have a Samsung, HTC etc. with hard keys it might work different, or not at all.

im running a tmobile lg g2x with EB gingerbread jun 22 with faux kernel 0.2.4

New version is available: now it's possible to quarantine regular apps as well, in case that system apps got updated.

Update: apps are re-quarantined after being updated. Possible with either automatic or interactive mode.

How does it work?
I downloaded the app but it's not clear what I'm doing.
I can place a check mark next to the application but what next?

Press MENU button and then "Lock".
Accordingly in the Quarantine list press MENU button and "Restore" to make apps available again.

For anyone interested: App Quarantine - Report #1

Added a widget so you can quarantine/restore apps directly from your homescreen

For few more lines to read please check out App Quarantine - Report #2 http://ramdroid.wordpress.com/

Looks extremely nice! I'll try it, thanks.

Does it need Root or will it work with un-rooted devices?

can you share the apk file? that we can also try and enjoy your app?

great app!
i have a few suggestion:
- smaller widgets
- system apps rows with red color

Great thanks. I got the LG O2X, and it's running a bunch of crap as standard. Will give it a try.

[APP][7/17/11] Roku Wi-Fi Remote

New! Actual graphics and styles!
This app controls a Roku streaming video player over wifi using Roku's External Control Protocol. It's the best (possibly the only working) free one on the market and can even do a few things the paid apps can't!
Features:
Find and connect to your player in less than 10 seconds without having to manually enter its address - even works with players connected over wifi!
Roku ECP - way more reliable than the old Telnet protocol some other remote apps use
Full 12-button control including Back and Instant Replay
List and launch channels directly from your phone
Automatically jump to search screens using your phone's search button*
Enter text on your phone and send it to the player - never use the on-screen letter picker again!
*Most channels support this on most screens. Hulu is a notable exception

Changelog:
2.3 - Improved layouts and graphics
2.2 - Improved auto-scan
2.1 - Added search, channel picker, and text entry
2.0 - Added auto-detect, multi-player support, optimized layouts, and more!
1.1 - Fixed a problem where some screens on the Roku player (like Netflix menus) wouldn't respond to commands.

Updated to 1.1. Now works way better with Netflix.

MAJOR update! Auto-detect, better screen support, and more! If you thought it sucked before, it's worth another look because I sucked out all the suck.

Updated again. Now you can pick channels, search, and enter text directly from your phone!

Updated to 2.2. This adds a few UI tweaks and methods to deal with some unreproducible force closes on startup I'm seeing in around 1% of my users. If you get one, please report it with as much information as possible!

Updated to 2.3. Finally added a custom layout and graphics, so now it's not quite as ugly.

Very cool app.
Would you consider releasing open source so others could port it to Windows Phone, etc.?

Windows Phone is in a totally different language (C# I think) - there's nothing you could really port and the Roku control protocol is documented on their website.

Quite useful, thankss!

what's the difference between the free version and the pro version?

Would it even be possible to get this working with the games?
Love this app, thanks for your hard work. Better than the paid ones imo.

Roku WiFi FC on Toshiba Thrive
Ethan-
Thanks for a great program! I use it all the time, since the remote is persistently lost at my house.
I just fired version version 2.10 (as reported by Titanium Backup) up on my Toshiba Thrive (HC 3.2), which was hardware locked (with a switch) in landscape mode, and got an Force Close each time. Suspecting the rotation to be the issue, I unlocked rotation, and started Roku WiFi in portrait mode. Voila! It worked correctly. (I did a similar test on my Droid Bionic GB 2.3.4 - no problem.) With the app still running, I then unlocked the tablet, rotated the tablet to landscape, locked it, and checked again. Strangely enough, no FC when switching back and forth between another app and Roku Wifi. (Roku WiFi always came up in portrait.) However, if I actually exit the app and restart, FC comes back.
As a separate issue, please note that the auto-find feature doesn't work on my network (on neither the Thrive nor the Bionic). I have 4 Roku units, which Fing sees just fine in network discovery, and identifies by the MAC address. Manually connecting to the Roku units by IP address works perfectly.
If you are interested in suggestions, some way of accommodating multiple Roku units would be handy. At the very least, please consider pre-populating the manual connect IP address dialog with the current address so it's easier to change (rather than having to re-edit it each time).
Let me know if you'd like more debugging information to help find this problem.
Best regards,
-Jim

so far no downloading issues for me

Now I have tested this version. As said before the first loading took time. But after that the app is really smooth. Didn't face any problems so far, even with 2G connection.

I just request a 30 mb+ file size download test.... Coz it does happen many times that in this newer version markets large files always showed an insufficient phone memory error and the download never started...
Lemme know if anyone tried a big download and it worked...
Coz I am still happy with the older version as it works decently for me..

No it didn't work. Tried to install AppSizeTest 30MB. The Problem seems to be that the market downloads a temporary .apk into /cache.

Thank you so much

Actually, it auto-updated the market for me! All you have to do is (after making sure your on wifi - it works best through wifi I found) get into the Market, go to the "my apps", wait for your apps list to come up, and press the center hard (i.e. Home) button (to keep the market in the background). Now, wait for some time (depends on your connection speed) and your market should get updated.
Worked for me all the way from 2.xx to 3.1.3 to 3.1.5 and now to this.

Updated OP..new Android market 3.4.4 added

Is the glitching happening with both touchpanel and airmouse? If so, using bluetooth connection may work better.
If the glitching is happening only with the airmouse, it is because the motion sensor signal is not good. Calibrating the sensors may work. Here is a video that shows two ways of doing that:
