I started this thread back in 2010 when I got my first android phone, LG Optimus One.
Couldn't find any thread like this here so I am posting it.
I would like you guys to list your favorite apps and games, whatever app you like, just list it, be it a system app or even from an unknown source! Also, it would be great if you could add a little description for apps that you think are not that popular...
My top apps (in no particular order):
1. TITANIUM BACKUP: Essential for existence of my life along with water ,
2. Facebook: not as good as Google+ app but essential for me,
3. Gmail,
4. Google maps,
5. Vbrowser: Download videos off website..
6. Tubemate: downloads youtube videos and doubles up as youtube!,
7. Data Counter Widget,
8. Audio Manager: Disguised as an audio manager, app used to hide apps, media and everything else.. Must have..,
9. MX Player,
10. Screen Filter: Essential app IMO,
11. App Lock: hate it when I give my phone to others to check out 'something' and instead they start checking out everything.. Then this comes in very handy..,

Android Central app -- Duh! Keep up with your fav devices and Android rumors on the go.

Super User / SuperSU - the most important.
Your phone is gay without one of them.
I'm learning Russian and German so Dictionaries and Google translator are my favorite apps.
Google Authenticator - Now I can sync my passwords without worrying.
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.
Pulse - much prefer this to Flipboard or currents as you can see more news stories at a glance and decide which ones you then want to read, instead of having to flip through each story individually.
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

Hello all,
I was wondering what apps you installed. Also what apps you are using to replace default apps. or apps that just rock.
I was looking at trying a different browser like Next browser, and maybe VLC player (but this one has an HW issue.)
Any other good video apps.
My list so far:
Next Browser
Message (one from samsung)
Plixlr
OneDrive
Pandora
prankdial (still fun)
sNote (testing out)
Waze
Zedge
Scanner Radio
Office Mobile (microsoft)
VLC (but has issues. . . so staying with default for now)
Some Games....
Replacements for stock:
GoSMS Pro
Poweramp
Nova Launcher
QuickPic
Swiftkey
ExDialer
That's a very good question. I use below apps:
Instapaper
TUAW
Evernote
whats your favourite launcher, keyboard, browser, SMS, Gallery App, MP3 etc?
My favorite launcher is MicroSoft beta,
Keyboard:- Gboard
Browser:- Samsung Internet
SMS:- Textra
Gallery:- QuickPic
Themes:- black
MP3:-
Launcher - Nova Prime, I've tried a whole lot of them over the years, and none stack up to it.
Keyboard - Gboard, its autocorrect seems to understand me best.
Browser - They all kind of suck on mobile, but I've found that Chrome is the least sucky?
SMS - Textra, by a landslide. I think I've tried them all and I keep going back.
Gallery - I honestly just use the stock gallery app. I've used Google's and QuickPic, but they don't seem to do anything different for me.
Theme - I haven't changed from the one that came out of the box, except to flash root and then PartCyborg's ROM.
MP3 - I listen to Pandora and Spotify almost exclusively. Every once in a while I'll fire up Sirius. But I don't store MP3s on my phone.
