Recommended Apps and Settings for Cyanogen roms

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.

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.

ROM ToolBox Lite ( Awesome App, Might just pay for... )
And i know apps are easy to find, and blah blah blah, but developers dont get paid unless you buy their app.
If you read that and said to your self, yea whatever, you must be a kid who still has to answer to your parents. Or just an ignorant adult.
Without the developers, our phones would suck. Period. So pay for your APPS! :highfive:

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

Tablet Talk 1.6.4
Media Remote
these 2 apps are pretty much must haves if you dont want to run stock 4.1 android on Galaxy s3.
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.

How to remove apps from desktop, but keep them...

Coming from my Nexus 6 (and Android Nougat), I can download apps to my Nexus 6 and:
1) Keep them in my apps icon / list
2) Keep them off of my Desktop, but still accessible on my phone through the app icon / list.
How do I do the same with the Xiaomi Mi Mix?
I am on the Chinese version of the September build, and to my surprise the Google Play Store was included in the build (I thought it was not incorporated in those builds).
After I installed by sim, and started by phone, I had forced all my google play store apps to transfer to my new Mi Mix. What I do not understand, is that all the app installed on the desktop (very cluttered).
Is there not a way to have them look and feel like all north american versions of the android smart phones ? ? ?
Where the apps download and install to the smart phone, but do not necessarily remain on the desktop home screens?
Cheers

MIUI is like iOS.
No app drawer and all installed apps on the screen. I have placed the MIUI apps I don't want into a folder and moved them onto a page I never access. You could also install Nova Launcher or something like it which lets you use a more conventional launcher.appearance.
Once rooted you can freeze apps or disable them.

Amen to that brother, that was my original choice (to create a single folder and throw all the apps in there). Question, does it organize them for you in an alphabetical order?
I was afraid of that. I thought the method used by most of the Android like operating systems from the days of lollipop - - - nougat, did a bang on job of app organizing. My last iOS was the original iPhone 2g, and later the iPhone 4.
Personally, Xiaomi missed the boat with that (MIUI / iOS)
