What is your favorite oh so special app you cannot live without?
I like a TON of apps, from games to entertainment and so on and so forth. but, my favorite app is....
*drum roll*
SLACKER RADIO.
Not only is free streaming radio, you get to pick your stations and you genres. Unlike pandora where you must type your favorite artist/band etc... You can pause skip and favorite songs.
Pretty awesome. I would be sad without it.
So tell me, what is your favorite app?
I absolutely love Lithium Music Player... Eliminates the need for an album art grabber because the one built in is incredible! Plus the graphical interface is very cool!

can you browse by folders ?
ePocrates, for work.
Love the fact that the beta android version seems to run faster than the iPhone version, and is also much easier to read with larger font
Second favorite app right now is probably the game Air Control
Tippy Tip, Aldiko, AndroNote are runners up

I love Beautiful Widgets. I don't think my phone would be the same without it.

A tie between Slacker radio (i even subscribed for the monthly fee) and Beautiful Widgets. quick question do you know how to "fine tune" the station on android? i could do it on my iphone but cant find it here.
I never new knew you fine tune it. I will check on my sisters iPhone and see what you mean.

I think beautiful widgets is a given, it makes the phone. I love the mobile buzz widget and get excited any time my vibrant is the subject. Also adw launcher and curve fish widgets. I just can't decide!

Honestly I think I'd have to say the good old stock web browser. I use that more than anything. I've tried alternative browsers but I always come back to stock. The gestures and add-ons in dolphin are great, but the browser is just too slow imo.
And of course I love LP plus and Slacker.
Beautiful widgets, launcher pro, slacker radio subscribed, hd youtube app(replaces stock so I can watch hd as default) ebuddy, photo funia, xda app

Doggcatcher. Podcasts make up about 80% of all listening that I do and that app has saved my sanity on the Android platform. Best 7 bucks I ever spent.
Id have to say that SetCPU is my favorite. Sure I dont interact with it that much, but it makes a world of difference. It allows my phone to run at blazing speeds when needed and then throttle down to near nothing all very quickly and automatically as needed. Now I have awsome performance but on a battery that lasts me all day.
Close runners up are mypics, screenshot, and a few games. Actually I just thought of something, a tie with setCPU will have to be One Click Lag Fix as it has taken my handset from lame to badass in no time at all.

Thanks for mentioning this. Great app. I really dig the slide up menu for artist,track,genre search because it really makes for a one handed operation. Man its really nice. The album art grabber worked great for a few albums I didn't have art work for.
I am wondering which app do you guys use to take screenshots? I used Screenshot for a bit but the fact that the program name is 'screenshot' on my phone pisses me off a bit, haha (unless, is there a way to rename apps on your app drawer? Same with sdrescan, ha, wish I could rename that), but I heard about ShootMe and I was wondering if people though the quality of pictures were different between the two, or if there is a preference.
Not sure if this could go under Themes & Apps or Q&A (since this is a question about an app, although maybe someone knows how to rename apps, ha). If this is in the wrong forum, I apologize and I will move it to the correct one.
Some launchers will let you rename apps in the drawer and homescreen and/or just create shortcuts with the name you want. I'm sure there's an app on the market that will let you do something similar shortcut-wise.
As for screenshots, the two most popular for as long as I can remember are drocap2 and Shootme. Used Shootme initially then went to drocap for a while. Currently trying Shootme again since they added the screencast feature for low fps videos.
I use shoot me...the quality is great and the app is simple to use

+1 on shoot me.
I use to use drocap2 on my Droid X and the quality was great and shoot me didn't have good quality. I used drocap2 several times with no problems in the first few weeks but now the quality is horrible, I'm not sure if its my Rom or an update to the app causing it but now shoot me works really well on my phone. It seems all the apps have their strengths and weaknesses depending on the phone/rom your running.
ShootMe is great, even let's you take videos (though they aren't perfect)
i use shoot me

I use Shootme! LOL Oh btw for renaming apps on your Homescreen, try an app called Bettercut. Lets you change icons and name of an app on your homescreen.
I like ShootMe. The quality is good and it has a neat shake to take picture feature.
another vote for ShootMe, as stated above i really like the shake to take a picture feature.
+ for shoot me. Only wish there was another way to start the video. Like being to shake to start or cover the light sensor. Don't particularly like to start the video showing me starting the video...lol
I am loving my SGS II. It is honestly the first device that I have used without even looking back at my iPhone. However the one thing I am missing is the camera quality. Whenever I take a pic on my SGS II most of my pics have red eye and I can't seem to find a good pic editing app that helps with that. Can anyone make a suggestion?

Little photo is pretty good free app. Camera zoom is good, I grabbed it when it was on sale.

Thanks again for the suggestions everyone, however I think I may have found one that works great. I am using Instagram's advanced camera. (Instagram, Settings, Camera Settings)
here's a list of alternative apps you can use.
photo editing:
lightbox,adobe photoshop express
cameras:
ics camera(need android 4.0+ ),camera 360, camera zoom fx
to remove red eye you can use this app (not free)

Ok I am sure all netflix users have found out that we have been had. There app will automatically update and no matter what I do I can't stop it. The new app is not very responsive and fails to load all the thumbnails. It's not as bad on the 3vo as it is on the og but still sucks. Plus I liked the old look better. So what I am wondering is if anyone knows how to stop it from upgrading?

Did you uncheck the auto update on the market? Mine never updates.
Yes I did. I still have the black splash and auto rotation but the main ui has changed.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the update. I have a backup of netflix in titanium backup from about 4 months ago and as soon as I restore the app and data it loads the new interface. I thought netflix was slow before, I didnt think they could make it any worse. They might be trying to push people to upgrade their devices. The app works on the 3vo, but my wife has an evo 4g and it barely works now.
yeah i am in the same boat. i have the og and my ole lady has the 3vo. damn you netflix!!!!!!
The Netflix app's user interface is really just a web page. There is NO way whatsoever to get the old user interface back, because it is served directly from Netflix, as opposed to being a native Android user interface.
I agree that it blows. Why can't Netflix make a UI that lets us actually be able to browse ALL of the available titles? For instance, if I check the science fiction movies on the app, I apparently have a choice of about 20 movies or so to watch. Yet, you can search and find all kinds of additional titles. Why can't I just browse the damn library of titles?!?!
After a little bit digging.. Seems to be a server side updated rather than a full app update...

I very much agree. Netflix is quite un-user friendly. Half the time you have to know what you want to watch and search for it, and even then it's very hit and miss. I especially don't follow why Netflix has say... movies 2 and 3 in a series, but not the first one. DEFINITELY needs a massive UI update to allow entirely library browsing. not just whatever 75 titles they feel like showing at the current time.
I got fed up with Netflix, left August 1st.
Once Amazon gets a little better selection I'll head over there.

I've been looking on the market for the best camera/photo edit app out but havent been able to find one. Coming from an iPhone I used the Camera+ app and lover the HDR features along with full control over photo editing and filters. Any suggestions?

Camera FV-5 has become my replacement camera for the stock cam on my Note 2. FV-5 gives you features you would find on a DSLR camera. Pro HDR Camera is great for the times you want HDR and last but not least Vignette camera.
for editing, I like Picsay Pro, Perfectly Clear and definitely Adobe Photosho Touch(A tad pricey but worth it).
