I did do a search but I just wanted to know what people's favorites were so I can try them out. I only saw one extensive thread that was specific for the Gtab and that was only for apps and game that were either working or not working.

I only have a few apps on mine so far. Would love to get some more ideas.
1) Dolphin HD
2) Dropbox
3) Titanium Backup
4) TV Guide Mobile
5) Amazon Appstore
6) Root Explorer
7) XDA (this force close everytime I log-in though)
8) Quadrant Standard
9) Angry Birds
10) Thumb Keyboard

1. Rom Manager
2. Root Explorer
3. Gtalk
4. Netflix -still waiting for it to stream!
5. Launcher Pro
6. Heytell
7. Gensoid lite
8. Nesoid lite
9. Beautiful Widgets
10. Firefox
Basically everything from my D1 that doesn't require GPS and compass. And P.S. Angry Birds is actually playable on the G Tab!

I'm running TNT Lite 3.1.4 (so darn stable that i nv bothered upgrading -> kudos to roebeet). I will not include any apps that come w the rom.
1) Repligo Reader (University kid here -> needs this for classes, annotates pdf well)
2) Dropbox
3) Dolphin HD
4) Doubletwist w airsync (for my music fix)
5) Evernote (For my meetings, etc.)
6) Note everything (For stylus drawn notes)
7) Thumb keyboard
8) Swype
9) Keyboard manager (to have 7 in landscape and 8 in portrait)
10) Pulse newsreader
I sold a free ipad i won to fund this tablet and i must say...i am utterly lovin it. Still had some spare cash left over.

Heytell actually works on the Gtab?

My favorites are:
Google Reader
Evernote
Dolphin browser HD
Winamp: but would love to get MIUI player (Can't find it for gtab)
awd launcher
Aldiko: Best ebook reader
Skype
Documents to go
Dropbox

I love Google Earth, N64oid, and flash... because i cant have them on my aria

Yep, but it doesn't use an "account" like interface, so you have to send all of your requests again. Hopefully they'll fix that with an update.

3. Amazon Appstore
4. Titanium Backup
5. Fruit Ninja

It wasn't my suggestion but I like firefox more than dolphin hd because of firefox sync and it has several popular addons from the desktop version. It doesn't support flash (yet) so if you want flash use dolphin hd (I just use the default browser when I need flash).

My 10
10 Apps I couldn't live without (but have, admittedly, in the past, before smartphones and tablets)
1. RepliGo Reader - I'm a grad student and read mountains of PDFs daily. This app has made my whole world different.
2. Springpad: Nothing can compare to it. It's free. It's versatile. It's simple with a lot of depth.
3. Drobox (and Titanium Media Sync - together they're great). Whole semester sync'd between my desktop, laptop, and tablet. I don't even take the laptop out anymore!
4. Business Calendar (hands down my favorite calendar app - both for the app and the widget). Stunning.
5. FeedR: people will disagree and I don't care. This is a great feed reader. The layout of the articles makes sense. The widget is phenomenal to have, and not annoying like some others.
6. Aldiko Ebook Reader - Great ebook reader. That's all.
7. mNote - One App that does 1 thing really well - minimalistic cloud text notes. Nice little reminders.
8. Titanium Backup (a swiss army knife for you tablet if used right).
9. QuickOffice: Thank you quick office working directly with and through dropbox, google docs, and my local folders.
I'm never not able to reach my stuff quickly or save my notes some place where I need them.
10. WinAmp (It really whips the llama's ass). You sync with winamp on my PC. I forgot about winamp. Still a great media player!!
Honorable Mentions:
* Miren Browser
* Skyfire Browser
* Just Pictures
* Rock media player
* Firefox Browser
* MobileNoterSE: Because I still need my onenote notebooks even in absence of my laptop for clinical outcome measures, reminders, and notes. Onenote is a powerhouse application. This is only on the list because there isn't anything else that reads my onenotes on a tablet.
I admittedly am not very consistent with my browsers. Miren is my fav, but sometimes firefox or skyfire just do something better. Didn't like dolphin for all the bells and whistles. Opera and OperaMini didn't do it for me either.

For playing video, try MX video & Meridian, both free, between them your should be able to play just about anything.
For music, there's iheart radio, and of course, Pandora. There's plenty more in Market, do a search. I have a lot of my music on my TP so I don't use them much.
Do a search for keyboards in Market, you'll find a lot of options.
I oc mine with master cpu @ 384 min and 1.7 max, in Android.
I assume that you have webos tweaked, preware installed,etc
Most Gameloft games are on sale, go to Market and check them out.
Search Market and you should be able to find most of what you've looking for.

By far my favorite keyboard for the Touchpad is thumb keyboard. You can set macro keys, too, so I bet that is what you are looking for. I don't know if Swiftkey X Tablet will work on Gingerbread but if so, look at that, too....

My suggestions:
printer: Samsung printer app - works well if you have a samsung printer.
keyboard: I like SlideIt. Swiftkey X is also excellent on a phone, I do not have experience for the Tablet version
Overclocker: My choice is SetCPU, another option is No Frills CPU
weather app: beautiful widgets has also a weather widget, or weather.com there are numerous else in the market.
file transfers over lan.. : Airdroid is quite good, else look for an ftp server (e.g. swift ftp)
m.getjar.com has some nice Apps and games in their gold apps section, which are released really for free. They are worth a look!

For remote printing I use PrinterShare Mobile Print by Dynamix USA, LLC. It is a paid app, I got it for free and it works well most of the time. The printer must truly be a network printer, as far as I can tell there is no way to access a printer hooked up to a pc that can be normally be used as a network printer on other systems.
For lan filesharing if you have windows or samba (smb) shares set up I reccommend Samba Filesharing by funkyFresh. It is free. It basically sets up your sdcard directory to be a network share.

Donation
Keep up the good work, Leo. Thanks to your ROM, my Touchpad is reborn. Here is something to help buy more Touchpads for the developers. This is the confirmation: 01631660YD854641W

4 file transfers over lan i prefer "File Expert" File Manager/WIFI File Transfer Web & FTP...

any suggestions for a ebook reader app that can do two pages in landscape mode?

Thanks bro. Yup...al money is going towards two touchpads. You've raised our savings to $135 of the $460 needed. I'm kicking in money Friday and one of the devs is kicking in some too next week. At this rate we will be set and wont need anymore touchpads for the devs...whew...

Is there a decent instant messaging client for multiple protocols?
I didn't find one and especially the official ICQ client sucks balls.

I use Trillian

1. ES File Explorer (or other root capable file manager of your choice)
2. Titanium Backup
3. Apex Launcher (or Nova Launcher)
4. SuperSU (or Superuser)
5. SetCPU/System Tuner Pro/[your kernel dev's app]
Bonus: Not exactly an app, but mskip's Google Nexus 7 Toolkit.

1. I have been using TabletSMS (from the dev who brought us Rom Control and ClockworkMod) and its excellent. Anyone tried both?
2. Flipboard (gives me a much more interesting mix than Currents)
3. Dice Video Player (HW support for Nexus 7, now ad-free)
4. Podkicker (good free replacement for Listen...has video podcasts as well)
5. Notes app ripped from Sony Xperia (search here on XDA in main apps section)

1. Better Terminal Emulator Pro
2. Hacker's Keyboard
3. Root Explorer
4. Touchdown Pro
5. Crackle

My top five
1. ES File Explorer does SMB and local supports root.
2. BSPlayer This plays anything with h/w and has a lan mode which streams from SMB
3. Groove IP Free phone calls
4. Ultimate Rotation Control no more annoying portrait mode
5. Google Voice does SMS for free.

I tried Tablet Talk and could not get it to work with the router at work but it worked fine on my home network. TabletSMS works great and looks quite a bit better in my opinion.

Google Voice ( I m all in on Google voice so sms comes straight to me on phone and tablet)
ES file explorer
Bacon Reader ( favorite reddit app)
Unified Remote ( I have a HTPC and this app has almost any remote scheme for any front end your using or plain mouse and key board support)
Chameleon ( I know its beta and has bugs, its getting better. Also I don't have any imagination when setting up my home screen, and this makes my tablet look good easily)

★ ☆[Guide] [Must have apps for Galaxy Tab2]☆★

First thing first if i helped you in any way shape or form please thank this thread.
This is all of the apps that I think are a "must have" for anyone with a Galaxy Tab 2 (7 or 10.1)
1. Rom toolbox: *REQUIRES ROOT* This is the best app for any one who likes to mod or customize the look/ feel of their tablet. It has all the features you could want wrapped up into one app.
Features: Install roms and themes like Cyanogen Mod. App and data backup. Root file browser (best file browser in my opinion).Boot logo changer.Build prop editor, app manager which allows you to delete bloatware (stock apps) and much much more!
There is a paid version which is 5 dollars and is well worth it believe me.
Lite version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkubGliZXJ0eS50b29sYm94Il0.
2. XDA Premium HD: This is an app that allows you to browse and surf XDA developers without having to use a browser. Also this app is specifically designed for tablets!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quoord.xdapad.activity&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5xdW9vcmQueGRhcGFkLmFjdGl2aXR5Il0.
3. Android Tweaker :*REQUIRES ROOT* This is a must if you really wanna get the most out of your tablet. This app will do everything from increase battery life to make your tab much faster. This app is will also make mods to custom roms too!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.igio90.androidtweaker.free
4. Google Currents: Wanna follow all your favorite news/sports/car articles? This is the app for it. This allows you to follow and read articles for whatever your interests are. So for me I follow things like android central, cnet, motor trend, and many more. Also this app allows you to read articles offline this is very useful. For example your about to leave the house and you have a long car ride. You can go into currents and sync all the latest articles so you can read them offline or without internet connection later. This app is free too!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.currents
5. Nova Launcher: One of the best things about android is the ability to customize your device to the way it suites you. This is a app that replaces the home screen launcher and replaces it with a better more with more customization options. There is a free and paid version.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
6. Spotify: This is an app that allows to stream music to your mobile device. (There is also a pc version which is awesome) THIS APP IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN PANDORA! You do have a limited amount of skips, but you can create millions of stations and each station has 6 skips. So for example my favorite band is Avenged Sevenfold. I could create a station and it will play me songs similar to what type of music Avenged Sevenfold plays. This has helped me discover many new bands. Also its free and doesnt require root.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.mobile.android.ui
7. Google Drive: If your a student like me this is definitely a must have app. This apps allows you to create documents and spreadsheets. Also it syncs with what you made on the computer. For example say tomorrow I have to read a speech in front of my class as an assignment. I can type the document on the computer and when it comes time to do my speech I read from my tablet instead of from boring old paper. And its even better because your potentially helping the environment.:good:
You can also use this app for cloud storage!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs
8.HD widgets: Widgets are really cool but the stock ones are really boring. This app allows you to change the color and theme of the widgets to what you like. There are tons of widgets to choose from too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets
9. Swift Key Tablet Keyboard. The stock keyboard is very boring and hard to use at times. This app replaces the stock keyboard and allows you to change the look and feel of the keyboard to the way you like.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.full
Lastly what do you guys think? If you have other apps that you like tell us what they are and why.

I would add android tuner as well.

Es file explorer
If not for a great file explorer also great for connecting to samba shares and streaming media.
Trickster
Kernel settings
Titanium backup
Maybe goes without saying
Busybox
Additional terminal functionality, need this just for ping6 / some apps require it
bVNC
One of the few I found that supports a secure TLS connection

I do like es file explorer but Rom toolbox has one too that I like. But es is good too. total personal preference. For kernel mods I use Android tweaker. But trickster is cool too. I have used busy box a little bit and it is awesome. I used it for v6 supercharger. And bVNV i will look at. These are all great apps
O and for backups titanium backup is good but I kinda figured everone knew about that.

1. QuickPic. The fastest gallery ever.
2. exDialer. Faster than stock contact/dialer, recommended for stock ROM and CM alike.
3. Trickster Mod. Kernel tuning, adb wireless, frequency for cpu and gpu, governor and io scheduler, tcp congestion, core smartreflex and many other configurable options --- as long as your kernel has them built-in.
4. Android Tuner. Tons of control and tweaks.
5. DashClock widgets. It has so many extensions from other apps, music, weather, agenda, etc.
6. Avast Anti-virus, anti-theft, malware, firewall, sms blocking and many more. If you install a lot of apps and games, try scanning them with avast once in a while. You might be surprised with all the permissions granted to your apps.
7. Waze for GPS crowdbased info
8. Proximity Smart Cover, set to auto on, not auto off. No need to press power button when you open your cover. Or just swipe the proximity sensor.
9. Adbd insecure by chainfire in case you're having trouble obtaining root / adb remount
10. Triangle away for those who love flashing
11. AdAway.
12. CrossBreeder script. Tweaks to keep your tab snappy.
13. RealCalc. Scientific Calculator that looks familiar and non-intimidating
14. Titanium Backup.

quickPic and MxPlayer !
good for multimedia

Puffin- fastest browser I've seen to date (with flash)
Freedom, GK2.61- if you are a gamer
ROM manager- you can't go wrong with an app that installs two different recoveries at a push of the button
Blackmart- if you like to test applications before buying (support your developers)
Touch calendar- a very nice widget (one similar to 4.0.4 stock), easily synchronized with your gmail account.
Odin mobile- easily the most useful app if you are into flashing firmware every now and then.
These aren't of personal preferences either...pretty much a must have if any category applies to you.

Great thread! Didn't know about some of these apps before, thanks!

I will be updating soon!
I will be adding more best have apps to this list soon! :good:

A.I.type Keyboard free
Chrome browser with [MOD] Google Chrome Desktop User Agent
ROM Toolbox Lite (Pro has some extras but i'm going for free apps here)
Quickpic
MX player
Theme chooser themes

cool list

I like
- Sleipnir browser it gives more smart gestures
- Fullscreen is an needful app to give more room on screen by hiding both status & navigation bar
- Astro best file manager for me

Tasker is an awesome app that make your phone smarter. I cant live without it. And it also helps to increase battery life

I'd have to say BS Player is the best video player.
I noticed even VLC had trouble playing certain file extensions. But BS Player hasn't failed me so far. Worth a look.
This is coming from someone who has used and loved VLC on every device for many years now.
Also not sure if this works across the world or if it's just for the UK, but TV Catchup is all the Freeview channels in the UK that you can LiveStream right on to your android Device. It's great!

BS Player has recently been castrated because of a copyright problem, though if you look around you can find a modded copy with the removed parts "restored".

Post your apps!!

Now that its been a week. I'm pretty sure a lot of you have added all your apps. So give some suggestions so other users can experience the fun you have.
I'll start with.
Stock not rooted (yet)
Comicrack(pro)
Disney movies (for the daughter)
Pbs kids app -
Facebook
XDA premium
Box
Dropbox
Es file manager
A bunch of android wear apps
PlayStation app
Need for speed (game looks awesome don't this thing)
And that's about it. Once I root
Twrp
Su
Tibu
(Still debating if I want to use greenify. 3gb ram makes me think I don't unless someone can give me a good reason to).
And that's all until exposed works.
So let's hear it.
Admins if this already exist. Please post link in comments and close thread.( searched and didn't see anything)

A lot of the ones listed here but I wanted to really recommend:
LTE Discovery

Power Menu. Stuff lollipop left out.

What are you using for the power menu? This has been driving me nuts. I've got TWRP's power toggles widget that I'm using, but would prefer an actual power menu like the "Power Off" button.

The apps I would prefer to have in my N6

Gotta use Greenify to hibernate apps! You'd be surprised how much battery you'll save by keeping rouge apps (especially Google apps) from constantly causing wakelocks. Even without Xposed you can still hibernate most of the bigger offenders as long as you're rooted.
As for a few apps..
Plex
Double Tap to wake
Tapatalk Blue
Root Explorer
Terminal Emulator
SwiftKey

TiBu
