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.

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.

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.

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).

Haha i was thinking the exact same thing! Unless hes using it on a table and scanning items across the top. Like a grocery store checkout.
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.
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.
Reading:
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.
3. Documents To Go: View, read and edit all .doc,. docx,. xls,. xlsx,. ppt,. pptx and other files.
SMS:
1. Go SMS Pro: Really good sms app, with many functions like password on sms, themes and etc.
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.

I send PM to you.
OK. Thread closed.
If you want to coopereate, please end me a message and I will add some additional posts

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

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
Inbox
TiBu
