I think 20-25 is a bit steep. While I am sure I am not in the majority, I only have 15 installed apps that i've d/l.
maybe you should change it to top 5, because it's an easy number to reach.

Hm... I though I used more apps than this...
Amazon AppStore
Audible
BeyondPod - podcast player
Kindle - I can't actually read on the phone, but often bring it up to double check something I remember reading. Being able to search through a book is wonderful.

I guess, I won't support this thread anymore. Our device is not good anymore, and our SGM's can't use all new apps because of Arm v6 processor and only Adreno 200 GPU. But anyway, if you have any good ideas - write it here.
I hope, that this thread was useful for everyone. Maybe I'll back, but I guess, it will happen only when I will buy new phone, so I won't back coming soon. Thanks for everything.
Hi. I had very much problems with apps. I didn't know which is better and which are really usable. So I will try to help you with apps - this is list of the best (in my opinion) apps:
For all users
Everything for browsing:
Browsers:
1. Opera Mini: The fastest browser for Android, but it doesn't support flash, JavaScript and etc.
2. Skyfire: An alternative browser with flash support, but quite slow.
3. Opera Mobile: The fastest browser if you using Wi-Fi. Supports flash and JavaScript.
4. Dolphin Browser® HD: Quite fast browser, but slower than browsers from Opera. But this browser is very customizable, has very much Add-ons, themes and etc.
5. Dolphin Browser® Mini: Something between Opera Mini and Dolphin browser HD. This browser is slower than Opera Mini, but faster than Dolphin HD. Also it is more customizable than Opera Mini, but not as customizable as Dolphin HD.
Social:
1. Facebook: If you are using Facebook you must have it.
2. Tapatalk: For going to the forums like this.
3. Skype: I think you know what is it. It's just a mobile version...
4. Google+: App for Google+ users.
5. K-9 Mail: The best email client for Android.
6. TweetCaster for Twitter: The best Twitter app. Simple. Fast. Many features.
7. WhatsApp Messenger: With this app you can chat with your freinds for free (requires internet). Also there is a group chat.
Other apps for better browsing experience:
1. FeedR: A RSS reader that works as both an app and a widget.
2. 3G watchdog: This app shows your data usage. This app is the best, because it doesn't include Wi-Fi data and shows notification.
Customizing:
Launchers:
1. Go Launcher EX: I think it's the best Launcher. Many functions (I think the best is folders in app drawer, or hiding apps in app drawer), many themes. But it eats more RAM than other launchers.
2. Launcher Pro: This launcher is very fast, but not as customizable as Go Launcher. But if you want the best performance you shuold use this launcher.
Homescreen:
1. Fancy widgets: The best free app for widgets (like htc style clock and etc.).
2. Beatiful Widgets: The best of the best widgets app (But this app costs).
3. PicSpeed HD Wallpapers: This app has very much high quality wallpapers.
Multimedia:
Music:
1. MixZing Media Player: If you don't like stock music player or just need more functions like equalizer and etc.
2. doubleTwist Player: One of the best (or maybe the best ) music player for Android.
3. MX Video Player: Really good video player. Customizable, nice and fast. P.s. you must download Arm v6 codec to use this player.
4. SoundHound: If you are listening to radio or just music from somewhere and you don't know name of the song - just open this app and it will show song that you're listening name.
5. Shazam: Something like SoundHound, but it is better if you are listening rock, rap, pop and other non-electronic music.
6. TuneIn Radio: The best Internet radio app. If it works in Lithuania it must work everywhere .
Photos and videos:
1. Camera Zoom FX: Camera app which has very much effects and functions.
2. Vignette: One more camera app, which also has many effects and features.
3. PicSay - Photo Editor: I think it is the best photo editor for Android Phone.
4. QuickPic: This is video and photo gallery. It has more functions and it's faster than stock gallery.
5. VidTrim - Video Trimmer: With this app you can trim your videos.
6. SyncMyPix: A nice little photo syncing app for contacts; basically it imports your friends Facebook photo's into your contacts.
YouTube:
1. TubeMate YouTube Downloader: With this application you can downlaod videos from YouTube.
2. Listube: With this app you can play music from youtube in backround. For example: You can listen music from youtube while you're browsing. P.S. This app also playing video, but you can't watch video in fullscreen.

1. Aldiko Book Reader: With this app you can read books and etc. This app supports .ePub files (with these files your reading will be much more comfortable)
2. IDEAL ePub Creator: With this app you can convert PDF, DOC, DOCX files to ePub.

2. SMS Backup & Restore: Simple application for backuping and restoring your sms.
3. SMS Popup: This app provides a convenient popup dialog when a message is received that allows you to quickly read and reply to messages.
4. SuperBackup: An EXCELLENT app for backing up your SMS and Contacts.
Privacy:
1. Safe notes: You can write notes with this app. Why it's safe? Because you can put password on your notes.
2. Hide it pro: You can hide videos and pictures with this app.
3. Call Blocker: Sometimes we need to block calls or SMS from someone. So, this app will help you to do it (It works not in all countries (countries list in this app description - in market))
4. Fake-Call Me: With this app you can make a fake call, so you can get out of awkward situations .
5. avast! Mobile Security: One of the best (or maybe the best) antivirus app for Android. Why? Because it has a lot of features, blocks many viruses and it is faster than others. There are many viruses for Android, so if you are downloading apps not only from Google Play - you should install this antivirus.
6. Perfect App Protector - FREE: App that will let you set password on other apps.
Files or apps managing and etc.:

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!

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.

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.

Lastly what do you guys think? If you have other apps that you like tell us what they are and why.

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.

I have tried must of these and love them, I will try some of these out.

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".
This Thread is intended for People you have installed Android "L" Preview and have not tried to do any sort of customizing to it. Also for the people who are coming from a clean wipe. With the other thread getting to ridiculous lengths already I find it easier to have a thread dedicated to just this issue. Please keep all comments on track and hopefully this doesn't get closed.

Thanks! Too bad my theme does not support it yet because I already like it better than Google Now Launcher.

A lot of android apps I'm using but my favorite for OP3 is ZenUI Dialer & Contacts. It helps me to manage my calls, SMS and contacts.

Using stock launcher as the new side panel thing has a pretty nice UI.
Social: Facebook, WhatsApp, Tumblr
News: Reddit, Feedly
Games: NFS No Limits, Pokemon GO, Vainglory, Hearthstone
Music: Phonograph

Is vainglory confortable to play on this large screen (I mean for instance phone in hands like in transport or idk)
CF.lumen - allows me to use my phone at night but still get wonderful sleep afterwards.
Google Dialer - blocks spam calls much better than stock dialer
Le DPI Changer - set to 430, see more on screen (similar DPI feel to N6P)
Titanium Backup - make widgets for apps i ocassionally use (gasbuddy, google wallet, etc)
Google Duo - best-performing and easy to use video/audio calling app, hands down
FBreader - for reading eBooks, has full black background which makes reading in the evening on AMOLED really nice.
Solid Explorer - best file explorer hands-down (with or w/o root), even has cloud connectivity and fingerprint security now.
If you want to keep your phone stock:
[*]Twilight - not as good as CF.lumen, but still works pretty well and similarly allows me to use my phone at night but still get wonderful sleep afterwards.
[*]NetGuard- for full network control and filtering of traffic (uses local VPN API)
[*]Google Duo - best-performing and easy to use video/audio calling app, hands down
[*]Solid Explorer - best file explorer hands-down (with or w/o root), even has cloud connectivity and fingerprint security now.
[*]FBreader - for reading eBooks, has full black background which makes reading in the evening on AMOLED really nice.
