i personally like cyanogenmod better than android but most of my most used apps are actually widgets that stay on on my home screens (even though i rarely click on them):
ap news
espn score center
accu weather
go calendar
image gallery photo frame
also i like lbe security (runs like a daemon in the background) to disallow the crazy permissions of most apps (why does mixzing music player need access to my location ?).
here are some of my other favorites (if people dont mind editing what application the programs listed above cover):
Quote:
clockworkmod (bootloader allows to install different roms)
air calc (floatable widget tip calculator)
contact vibrate (set different vibrate rhythms for each contact)
connectbot (bash terminal)
file expert (rooted file navigation tree)
andftp (scp client)
go launcher (homescreen and menu dashboard)
- allows for double-tap gestures to launch an app
graffiti (change keyboard to palm pilot grafitti input)
opera (web browser i use for flash streams)
sshdroid (ssh server)
xbmc (dlna enabled media player)
xbmc remote (allows to control another xbmc machine via wifi)
androidlost.com (remote maintenance and tracking of devices)
animgif (allows for homescreen background picture to be an animated gif)
airdroid (use fone functions via web browser)
unnamed-rom
- allows for rooted access to wifi hotspot
yatse to control my Raspbmc media player
whirldroid (Aus forum with a pretty decent tech section)
weatherzone (Aus weather - I am a bit of a nerd)
IMDB to check out details when I am watching a movie

My, er... five are:
1.) ES File Explorer (Lets me access my Iomega nas drive on my home network and my RAVPower mobile nas hub while on the go)
2a.) BBC News app. 2b.) Gmail
3a.) Fing (Network Monitor) 3b.)WIFI Analyser (Useful for finding WiFi Hot spots) 3c.) WiFi File transfer (nice easy file transfers.)
4.) Kindle (I read loads of books, it's also on my Nexus 7 Gen 1)
5a.) Sorry, I'm a bit addicted to The Simpson's "Tapped Out" and have been playing it without any purchases for about two years. How sad! On the Nexus 7, 5b.)"The Room" and 5c.)The Room 2" as well.
I have a Nexus 5 and the most used apps on it are:
01. Facebook
02. Gmail
03. Evernote
04. CM Browser
05. A game (I love hidden-object games - I do often play some, but right now I'm hooked to Clash of Clans )
I've got a Galaxy Note 10.1, which I primarily use for reading. But I'm kind of confused here about which ebook reader is THE best. I've tried quite a few ones, but couldn't yet settle on one.
