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.

SMS backup and restore is good because you can backup to an external SD card but for now does not support mms, it backs up way fast but a restore can take a while

Most useful android app?

Hi,
what is the most useful Android App that you have ever tried?

Camera

iSyncr is a must if you like music

I just was thinking about all the apps I've downloaded over the past few years and the one I found most useful is Handcent. I use it practically every day.

Titanium backup...its the most used and appreciated by all rooted users, next to Superser...'SU'
Sent from an ice cream sandwich.

Only been on Android for about three weeks, Im a bit behind, but quickly learnt that I cant do without
Titanium backup, like most others, its a must.
Opera mobile.. Operas the first thing I put on any pc, and the same on the phone. Would have said opera mini next but it seems to have fallen foul of the "Google has helpfully re-rendered this page for mobile viewing" annoyance
Dropbox, quickly discovered its much less hassle to transfer files from the pc this way then mess around mounting sd cards.
A2E, only discovered it when link2sd didnt work with Cyanogen. Great little app.

Apps as catagorised as "useful" can mean different things to different people
Browser - Opera Mobile. Fast and speedy. Opera Mini in bad signal areas works a treat also.
News Feeder - Taptu. Create streams of information from favourite sites and blogs and css streams. Group sites into streams based on catagory. Best way of seeing your favourite stuff on one screen
Images - Lightbox. So many features, it should really be a replacement for your stock camera app
Storage - Dropbox. I can share stuff via dropbox. I can keep it and have it ready to pick up when i want. Perfect for sharing work with clients and showing draft designs of work completed. Google Drive is recent and may pose threats to the Dropbox crown
Messaging - Handcent. Has it all. Simply put.
Twitter - Tweetdeck. Clean interface and does its job best of all that i have tried.

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.
- TuneIn Radio Pro

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.
1. TiBU pro
2. Dropbox
3. gApps
4. Xpress Connect (for WiFi @ work)
5. ES file Explorer
then I'm ready to start installing apps.
top 5 non-maintenance apps:
1. Grooveshark
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.
