Hi, thanks for the useful list! Anyway, the link to Tapatalk above leads to the paid, tablet-optimized version. Don't you think that the free, phone-optimized one suits our phones better? Sorry, had to remove the link as I'm unable to post outside links yet.

Hey, since not everybody has Root on his phone. I would suggest to add "Helium" as alternative to Titanium Backup because Helium doesn't need Root permission. Thanks for the nice list.

19Hello. I had very much problems with apps. I didn't know which is better and which is really usable. So I will try to help you with apps - this is list of the best apps:
Apps for all users
Everything for browsing:
Browsers:
1. Boat Browser: I think it's the best browser and I'm using it right now - it is really fast, faster than Opera Mobile, Dolphin or Chrome! Supports almost everything, has some themes and add-ons. Also, it has nice speed dial.
2. Opera Mini: Browser that will help you save some data, but it doesn't support flash, backround JavaScript and etc.
3. Skyfire: An alternative browser with flash support, but quite slow.
4. Dolphin Browser: Quite fast browser. This one is very customizable and it has very much Add-ons, themes and etc.
5. Dolphin Browser® Mini: Something between Opera Mini and Dolphin browser HD. This browser is slower than Opera Mini, but faster than Dolphin HD. Also it is more customizable than Opera Mini, but not as customizable as Dolphin HD.
Social:
1. Facebook: If you are using Facebook you must have it.
2. Community Reader by Tapatalk 4: For going to the forums like this.
3. Skype - free IM & video calls: I think you know what is it. It's just a mobile version...

Other apps for better browsing experience:
1. Feedly: A RSS reader that works as both an app and a widget. Probably the best RSS app.
2. 3G watchdog: This app shows your data usage. This app is the best, because it doesn't include Wi-Fi data and shows notification.
3. Network Monitor Mini: This app displays real time upload and download traffic in screen. Really good app if you want to check your internet speed in real time.
Customizing:
Launchers:
1. Go Launcher EX: I think it's the best Launcher. Many functions (I think the best is folders in app drawer, or hiding apps in app drawer), many themes. But it eats more RAM than other launchers.
2. Launcher Pro: This launcher is very fast, but not as customizable as Go Launcher. But if you want the best performance you shuold use this launcher.
3. Swapps!: This is a side launcher that is always there, when you play, read or listen. Just swipe and switch to another app. Good for heavy multitasking users.
Homescreen:
1. Fancy widgets: The best free app for widgets (like HTC style clock and etc.).
2. Beatiful Widgets: The best of the best widgets app. Simple and beautiful widgets. Pro version has more functionality, but costs.

4. SoundHound: If you are listening to radio or just music from somewhere and you don't know name of the song - just open this app and it will show song that you're listening name.
5. Shazam: Something like SoundHound, but it is better if you are listening rock, rap, pop and other non-electronic music.
6. TuneIn Radio: The best Internet radio app. If it works in Lithuania, it must work everywhere.
