Must Have App List

[AsaSpades]

What are some apps that you feel are "must haves," and what do they do? Im trying to get a list going. Here's mine:

-Hello AIM (If you use AIM you know what it does, great interface, I love it, alot better than the one already installed, but is only for AIM)
-Saved MMS (saves MMS)
-OI File Manager (file manager since andriod doesnt have one built in)

What are some other great apps?

Toggle Settings - Change settings in a few taps.
Wallpaper Set & Save - Set PNG wallpapers, no more shitty jpeg compression.
Task Manager for Root Users - List/terminate running processes.
MyBackup - Backup all your apps and settings.
Screenshot - Essential för theme developing.
Solitaire - Waste an hour playing card games.
AccuWeather - Nice weather app, lists my home town unlike most other weather apps.
Last.fm - The official client. Very nice except for a buffering issue at the start of some songs.
PixelPipe - Very nice app for picture sharing/uploading.
QuickPedia - Wiki app.
SnapPhoto - Makes the bland default G1 camera come to life, briliant app. A must have.

Yellowbook - comes in handy if you need number or address
Task Manager - End programs, save battery life
Video Player
Spelldial - quicker way to dial people
sms popup - like sms bubbles for wm shows message and who's sending

Shazam - need to find out who sings a song you like? Put up to speaker and it will find name and artist!
Scoreboard - keeps track of sports scores - most sports
Linda and astro file manager - linda lets you download stuff off internet you cant normally download. I like astro so i have both but astro doesnt do download trick.
klaxon - lets you set mp3's as alarm
transition effects - gives your phone cool effects

streamfurous - streaming radio

K9SMS - not in Market, but it's SO much more responsive than the default Messaging (which it is based on.) Scrolling is 100% smooth, unlke the stock app.

Task Manager for Root - Can see what's running and can kill apps when you're not using them.

ASTRO - Great file manager that also installs nonmarket apps and has a great built-in photo browser.

Twidroid - If you use twitter, you want Twidroid.

PapiJump - It's a stupid, but addictive game.

Shazam - hold it up to a song, it'll tell you who sings it. Amazing. I suspect it's magic though.

The Weather Channel - Good weather app

SnapPhoto - Great replacement for the stock camera app

Klaxon - Good upgrade for the stock alarm clock

ATrackDog - run it to see which of your programs has updates.

ALthough I wouldn't consider them 'must haves' I really like Brightroid (britekite client) and Locale (lets you automate system settings and other functions depending on GPS location... I use it to automatically check in at locations on brightkite)

Anycut - Allow to make shortcuts

ASTRO or Linda File Manager - I have both because I'm use to ASTRO but Linda has a plug-in built in so you can download any files from the default browser. ( I dont like Steel)

NetCount or NetTraffic - I'm trying to figure out which one is better because I tether alot so I want to keep an eye on my usage.

PF Voicemail+ - Its alot easier to check my voice messages than anything I've seen before.

Save MMS - Must have to save images from texts, better than having to forward to email and save.

SnapPhoto - Better than default phone app.

aTrackdog - Same as above from what others said.

PixelPipe - I've had a photobucket account for few years now. This app lets you upload pics straight to your account from your G1 alot easier.

Firewallet - UI is the best I've seen for a money managment app. This beats having to use a checkbook or using a scratch paper to see if I can afford something and is easier to check than logging into BOA.

Shopsavvy - Finds better deals than Google it seems sometimes. Good for if you think you've seen a deal at a store.

Looks like I got alot more apps to download now.

I like ChompSMS for the onscreen Keyboard, tho it doesn' support mms yet

MYBookmarks is great - it allows you to easily redo your bookmarks if like me you like top regularly clear the data from Browser. - I was put off thinking I'd have to export ALL my IE bookmarks (Ive got loads!!) but then I realised I could prepare a little folder just for my G1 bookmarks on my PC Ie, and then just export THAT folder. Works brill for me and makes up for not having Opera Sync on the browser.

Another vote for Task Manager - worth getting rooted just fort being able to use this app

Cubik is a decent tetris clone, and I have two solitaires, one has a greart auto bit that flies the cards to the piles automatically, and another that has a score system

PicSay is one of my favourite ever mobile apps - lets you pop bits onto MMS pics like captions, thought bubbles and other bits n pieces!!

Night Clock is grand - I put it on overnight, as I've no clock by my bed - Huge digital clock display with a built in alarm tht can tag songs in your music folder as the alarm sound.

And another vote for these apps - Astro, WallpaperSetnSave, TheWeatherChannel, Power Manager, and finally Dark keys, which allows you to turn the Keyboard backlight off with one touch (for those with White G1 as it's sometimes hard to see in certain lights)

As far as paid apps go i recommend...

Tetris
WordSearch - If your into word search puzzles
Bejeweled - kinda hard to use finger with but fun as usual

Stay away from video conversion paid apps, the audio on all available so far lag behind the video about 6 seconds or so.
