I think if somebody have system tools in top 5 apps, your tablet is really useless

Or we like to manipulate the data we install and download. Appreciate your opinion but I personally find it invalid.

Maybe you should give the tablet back to mommy and daddy. Play time is over!
my comment was a bit confusing, one thing is a very useful application, and another thing that I consider a top application, I use daily applications like astro or root explorer or battery saver, but this is why no android gives me a native application to do, and I do not think an application that serves to complement android should be on these lists, only that, I thought the list was more for the "normal" use of the tablet (not power user )
I still apreciate your opinion, I just disagreed with it. I felt the poster was looking for good honest thoughts and those 5 popped into my head. I use them daily if not hourly. Didn't mean to "attack" but to "educate". I am no "power user" just a user. I think this is why we all come here, commradery and differing opinions on something we all love. Thanks for the clarification on your opinion.

I am pretty new to this world of G1 ROMs and rooting. From posts I have rooted the phone, put on the latest Cyanogen ROM, got an 8 Gb Class 6 SDCard and setup 3 partitions.
I was wondering ... what applications and settings do people recommend???
I just found out today about the better onscreen keyboard and feel like an idiot for not using it sooner.
I currently use:
Steel instead of the regular Browser
Handcent SMS instead of messaging
SnapPhoto instead of Camera
Qik instead of Camcorder
WeatherBug
Babbler Lite for Facebook
YouMail for Voicemails
Twidroid for Twitter
Other apps I have and use (not as frequently are):
Wireless Tethering
Google Voice
Google Maps
Places Directory
Google Talk
IM
Widgets:
Scoreboard
FML
Power Control
Search
Since I update with Cyanogen's experimental ROM I do not use a theme.
I appreciate any feedback. I just don't want to miss anything like I did with the better on-screen keyboard.
I would recommend the normal programs for things like the camera, browser, or messaging. we have modified versions of them in the android development forum. i use bloo for facebook, and get visual voicemail(T-Mobile) for voicemail
I got the TasKiller app, it comes with 2 widgets, a kill all button and a taskbar to show you running programs. Its handy if you ever get a lot of apps
i personally find after trying a few that advanced task killer runs the absolute best

I've used all of those, and recently found taskpanel, which has a very slick interface,...if only it had a widget. Taskiller always gives me FC w/ Wait option when i come back from the lock screen, but otherwise it worked well
Messsages - ChompSMS / SMS Handcent
Facebook - Bloo / Babbler
Twitter - Twidroid or iTweet
Browser - Opera Mini (hella hella fast)
Music - MixZing
Camera - FxCamera (Neat filters / fast fast shutter + auto focus!!)
IM - Hi Aim / Hello AIM
CoPilot
Movies app
yup =D
Su file browser & Terminal
itweet for twitter
Quick Boot - free in market
Advanced task Manager
The most important app for quickly working on your phone is SU File Browser. Unless you are a purist and only like the terminal (which I certainly respect), you should have this app.
I use all the standard apps, don't see a reason to use replacements. I use Bloo and twidroid for facebook and twitter.

Hi everyone,
Just wondering what your most essential apps are? They could be in any category and even games — my eyes are kinda tired browsing the many different apps available!
So far my essential apps that I use day to day are:
1. eBuddy: keep in touch with my friends
2. 3G Watchdog: keep track of my data plan usage
3. Astro File Manager: I think everyone has this
Thanks for sharing your essential apps!

I posted this question in another thread, but since Tasker has been brought up here... Since the Aria has to be charged while it's still ON with CM, is it possible to make a task to turn the phone off when it reaches 100% charged? Preferably a task that can be turned on/off.

The Power AMP Music player with built in preamp and equalizer is something I use daily.
Then I have Nook, and USA Today so I can read while listening to my music.
Calorie Counter is important because it helps me keep my diet plan on track.
And SETCPU which helps me to manage overclocking my HTC Aria so that EVERYTHING runs smoothly when I want it to. Of course the OC kernel I run in my Liberated FR007 rooted phone, found here is awesome too!

Aldiko - ebook reader
Sipdroid - for if I want to make a call that isn't covered by my phone plan (same VOIP account I use at home for billing simplicity)
Tasker - power saving, change phone state based on calendar entries, custom brightness/GPS/WiFi widgets, speaks SMS sender's name on conditions. It's the swiss army chainsaw of Android.
JuicePlotter - so I can waste power seeing a pretty (but not particularly useful) graph of how much power I'm wasting

Aside from the usuals like titanium, busybox, root explorer, cwm, terminal, su, and dropbox... what are some of your "must have" apps that you always install upon fresh flashes?

I say ebuddy messenger, sip/voip software, qq media player, forum runner pro, andchat , skype (wifes family is all overseas), copilot navigation , dolphin browser, xtralogic remote desktop, syncsms ( it pushes my sms to my tab as my cell gets them) , and for some reason Im stuck on jorte calendar ( I love the widget options) and beautiful widget for clock and weather for the homescreen widget.
There's more I use daily but these are the main ones
Tasker is my number one app, it easily replaces dozens of dedicated apps for me. The uses are endless. Tasks can be created and made into shortcuts / widgets. One app running does the work of many. My latest use of it is to automatically switch my Google Voice forwarded lines based on my location using SSID.
Thought it might be handy to hear people's suggestions for apps that run-well on Galaxy Gear's small screen display. Some obvious choices include:
Keyboards
Graffiti
Big Buttons
Game Emulators
Gameboy Color A.D. - heard in another thread this worked well.
Any other apps people have tested that run well?
Gstrings guitar tuner works great, and im also running Nesoid nes emulator.

You need to install WonderShare Mobile Go on your PC first. Easy to use.
My apps so far that work well are:
Shake Calc - good little calculator with scientific functions too
QuickPic - photo/video viewer with lots of great folder organisation (including exclusion)
Node Beat - Great for showing off sound capability
aLights Pro - you want flashing lights or a handy torch?
Trapball - a very touch friendly simple time waster game
I can't figure out how to search apps by name and I can't find shakecalc anywhere. I have installed:
ASL American Sign Language Flash Cards
MyScript Calculator
Google Sky Map <-- omg, wtf bbq this is amazing

or if you want to pair the galaxy to any android device using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500999 then these apps give you almost all the functionality. just need s voice really.
