What's on your droid?
These are my essential apps for my Android device (Nexus7 rooted). All apps are free versions. I'd be interested to know what other peeps consider essential for a happy Android experience.
 App ops. Avast. Sophos. KeePassDroid. SuperSU. BusyBoxFree. X-plore. CleanMaster. StickMount. ColorNote. Kingsoft Office. Coolreader. PicsArt. Dolphin mini browser. DuckDuckGo. RetroArch.

Looking at your list Jojo I realise I forgot to install a PDF reader and dictionary after I installed a custom OS iso. I have a couple of other browsers but Dolphin is the fastest on this machine. Also got some news readers, BBC, RT, ARS, The Register and Alternative News. Somewhere in the grey area between these news sources lies the truth so all are useful. Well....maybe not all, but Alternative News is just hilarious, with links that often as not lead to the "AboveTopSecret" web forum, home of the hardcore tinfoil hat brigade

Essential apps I think (just about everyone) should download:
MX Video Player ColorNote ES File Explorer Alarm Clock Plus or AlarmDroid Any free Flashlight (there are so many on the play store) Transparent Screen Barcode Scanner The range of Google Apps - mainly Google (Now), Google Maps (although they're usually included on most Android devices) ZArchiver Speedtest Adobe Reader Adobe Flash Other apps I would recommend: AutomateIt BT Remote PC Firefox Rocket Player Google Sky Map K-9 Mail MusiXmatch PVSTAR+ Shazam or SoundHound Google Translate Zedge |

Great thread garth
.Here's my list: Flashlight ES File Explorer Mobile Backup III Contacts Backup Contacts Backup Lite +Backup Contacts 1Tap Cleaner Superuser Titanium Backup Applock Kik Bluebox Security (for occasional secondary scans) TeamViewer ES Task Manager Adobe Reader IMDb Terminal Emulator Avast Music Player (formerly Folder Music Player) MX Player (must have for video playing. the best) Solitaire Classic Heartbleed Scanner WPS Office Wifi Analyzer Next Browser Orweb Orbot The four contact backup apps are for backing up contacts in text or csv format, as I do not like the original vcf format. I used to use Boat Browser earlier, but it got ridden with ads now, and also used to hang a lot. I didn't like Opera Mini, or Dolphin either. Further, had heard permission problems with Dolphin before, so don't trust it that much. After searching the web for best free browsers, got Next Browser, and tried it. Like it so far. It has ads too, but are bearable. I had tried Firefox before, and didn't like it that time. Don't know how is it now. Want to try it, but it has got a large download size. I suspect it must take more amount of RAM too, which my phone cannot afford. Other browsers have much less size. garth, do you have two antivirus on your phone, Avast and Sophos? Jojo, what kind of phone do you have? Seems like you have enough RAM and processor speed to handle all those apps, specially the social ones, which run all the time.

I had tried Firefox on Android back when it was just released, and that time I felt it was really bad. Probably because it was still being developed. I wasn't impressed at all. But now, it looks like they have put serious work into it and it has improved greatly. I would love to install it on my phone, but I wouldn't because of the install and RAM size, which would be much for my Gingerbread phone, with less RAM too. Quote:
