have fun ...!! your suggest your apps you are welcome...
Music PlayerPro, autostarts and ActivityExpress are usefull apps too. and TeslaLED as flashlight. Link2SD for moving the apps to your sd card under 2.1. SMSNotifier for messaging (read, quickreply, ...) without open the standard sms app.
There are a lot more but this are my favorites.
PS: handcent and other sms apps dont work for me. they send a sms twice every time. so i use the standard sms app.

Touch Calendar.
I find that it's the best way to view your calendar on such a small screen.
I've tried pretty much every calendar app going until I settled for this one.

But SeamanPlayer is slow, isn't it?
Tried it with X10 Mini, and X8 under 2.1 ROMs, they're both laggy and uninstalled.
Good ROMs/apps are stable, fast, small, not turning up unintended with low power consumption without many updates, right?
GTunes is an example, I used to download songs with it with old versions, while new updates simply add ads, and that's why I abandoned it.

Sorry for over listing...
This has been asked previously about root apps. However, now that the Photon is a bit more mature I am curious as to the following:
What are the most useful apps (root or non) running on your Photon?
*When replying please give a description as to what the benefits are and what makes it so useful to you.
Mine....
1) Titanium Backup (paid version, root required) - For the backups and quick uninstalls.
2) Root Explorer (paid, root) - Still best file manager I've used.
3) Juice Defender (using the free one) - Only been running it for a week but seems to really help my battery life when off of WiFi. Thinking about going to the Ultimate version.
4) XDA app (using the free version) - Lets me keep up when mobile.
5) Simple Sound Profile Widget (free) - Since setting times up for the sound modes isn't my thing, this allows me to apply custom sound settings when I want and do it easily.
6) FTP Server (free)- For quick and easy file transfers with no wires. Always works.
6) Terminal Emulator (free) - Obvious I think.
7) K-9 Mail (free) - Still best email client I have used for POP.
8) Folder Organizer (paid) - Using this with SPB Shell. Gives me ability to use custom icons, spacing, themes, and hide the titles.
I'm going to stop at eight for now. Might add more later.
So far these are the apps I make the most use of:
Script manager (free version, using it for running scripts and such)
Widget Locker (lock screen replacement, paid version)
Go Launcher EX for all my sexy effect needs.
Root Explorer (Paid version)
Titanium backup obviously
That's about it for my core apps.
Seriously? Just one person with feedback? I want to be using my phone to the fullest and there is more out there in the Market that some don't know about.
How bout this then.....What do you want your phone to do but can't find an app that will do it?
I would like an app that will reboot my phone periodically at specific day/time. Gonna try tasker and see if it will. Didn't see anything else in Market to accomplish this.
I don't think most people haven't rooted yet. I just got mine like a week ago. I'm still reading up. I will root but, there is a lot to know.

Understand....but this thread is not just root specific apps. It is for any app that makes your Photon a great device to use.
So, all Photon users feel free to participate!

Now herein lies the problem. My phone did basically everything I needed it to straight of the box. If anything, I had to remove some stuff that it did because I didn't use it (social networking).
I'm still learning the ropes tho', new to android so if you ask me the same exact question in 2 months time I may give you a completely different answer.

Amazon app store - one paid app a day!
Getjar - a bunch of paid apps for free, best one is Beautiful widgets.
Dropbox - easier to sideload apps
Lookout - scans for malware and etc. locate lost phone via gps, and theres a scream function where it will play the sirens really loud so if you misplaced it you know where it is.
Mangawhat - soothes my manga addiction
Roamcontrol - forces roaming when i have bad signal onto verizons ;D
Widgetsoid - the best toggler for the photon. flashlight works, 3g toggle works, vibrate/ring/silent mode. only thing that doesnt work is 4g toggle.
wifitether - free tethering for my netbook when i am traveling.

Widetsoid - megatoggler, which reminds me has anyone come up with a mod to enable toggles inside the notification bar?
Unified remote - let's me use my photon as a wireless keyboard/touchpad for any computer connected with wifi or Bluetooth. (not sure if this is the best app but it was the first one that I downloaded that worked well. Would definitely like feedback on other apps like this.

Hey people please tell me your favorite 5 apps. Also let me know your top 5 games; separately. I want to make a video on it.
Thanks
EDIT: Please don't mention the apps which require you to root your phone. Also, please be sure to give a short description of the app you mention!
CWR
SU (root)
TB
everything else is just icing on top
with root:
AndroSS: probably the easiet screenshot application out there, it has the option to use the acceleramtors. IE: shake the phone and take the pic (shake it like a poloroid picture!)
SetCPU: a must have for incredikernal users.
without root:
Dolphin Browser (uses the mozilla source code, each rom i flash that's the first app i re-install)
Pandora
SiriusXM (requires pre-exisisting subscription with SiriusXM Sattelite Radio)
Speedtest.net: going to the webpage in the browser will automaticly re-direct you to the market download link
Launcher Pro
For APPS:
Titanium Backup
Go Launcher EX
Power AMP
Drop Box
Wifi File Explorer
Dolphin Browser
CWR
Drop Box
are the best
Vignette - the best camera App i know
Root Explorer!!
Pulse - Best news reader i found.
Widgetlocker - my lockscreen with everything i need
Explosm! - CYANIDE AND HAPPINESS
CalendarPad Pro - best calendar i found for me.
Opera Browser
sry those where 7, but i cant say only 5 >.<
those are the best apps for me.
but "must have" are apps like setCPU, SU, AdFree, TerminalEmu and so on.
My favourite games are:
PewPew2!!
Spirit
MINECRAFT POCKET EDITION
Shaky Tower
Cut the rope
and maybe Zenonia1-3, but i didnt play them much.. they got boring after a while :/
root explorer
gesture launcher
pandora radio
cpu master
drop box
favorite games...
death worm
brain age
words with friends
fruit ninja
lane splitter
some other great apps that i use, that really could be my top 5 as well (you said 5 so i kept it at 5)... are the following...
cache cleaner NG
my backup pro
screenshot ER
terminal emulator
there are some amazing apps out there... there are other great ones i use, but just cant list them all.
Please tell me applications which do not require you to root your phone. I'm a newb. Also give a brief description of it
Also, please be sure to mention games separately! Thanks. hoping to learn a lot!
lol well like half the apps i use are root apps
hmm.. pandora radio is basically just web streaming radio app, you can Customize and save stations simply by entering 1 word and it will play songs related to your criteria… very amazing app. And it is good at putting songs together that are similar to the criteria you enter.
gesture launcher is probably my favorite... this app is so freaking useful. you basically assign swype gestures to open apps, shortcuts, any function of your phone. there is a little green android that stays on your screen at all times (very small, hardly noticeable) and whenever you are doing something and want to open a particular app or shortcut you just touch that little droid icon then draw your gesture and it opens up immediately. this app redefines "multitasking"
another good one is zedge.. basically a ringtone and wallpaper downloader
drop box does not require root.. it is a wireless file transfer portal from your phone to a computer... try that one out... amazing as well. i use it all the time.
Why not use the Market 'Top' lists. It's more comrehensive and covers a much larger sample group. i.e everybody using Android!
@vs511 : you must try to read a guide about how to root your's devide. You can you many useful app .
My best app (non root)
Astro manager - bluetool.
Advantage task killer.
QQ laucher.
Opera mobile.
AVG antivirus.
apps for me
dialer one
wifi analyzer
opera
titanium backup
opera
If you want top apps you can try different sites like apktop,appbrain,etc they will give detailed info.
i dunno why people write their apps without saying what the apps are for? stupid
i have apps and tweaks ::
1. kamel media player
2. uberkernel to 1.5 and govnah
3. gemini file manager
4. internalz pro
5. tunein radio
6. keyboard arrows
7. box.net
these are my problems for now..
i looked hard for a way to use a non-HP wireless printer directly from TP.. i think there is no way unless i go thru a pc that has Touch2Pc Printer installed
i didnt find any way to share files across home network pc's..
also,, i would reaallly like a file search tool like windows ..
i dont see how to find running processes like a task manager...
i want to put the analog clock face on the lock screen instead of digital.
i want to change the limit of 5 icons on the menu bar
is it stupid for me to ask about streaming from box.net as i download media from the cloud?
so if anyone has solutions for me or sugg's, i would greatly appreciate it..
i will use android, but i would like to get webos tweaked until ICS comes..
thanx
FOR ROOT USERS ONLY
Tested on Mega I9200 XXUAMEE
I removed more than 100 system apks, and my Mega works like a charm.
You will notice that the google apks are missing, and that the video player, music player, file manager etc. are missing as well, I removed them because I don't like the way they spy on us and suck our private data (look at the permissions they have if you don't believe me). No worries, just keep on reading for some alternative apks, and some ways to prevent spying...
IMPORTANT
1-Before to start the delete process do a Nandroid back up, and do a back up of your system/app folder (where all the system apks are) in case you want to reinstall a specific apk later.
2-If you decide to uninstall the filemanager apk, install first an alternative file manager, like let's say ghost commander, because if you don't then you won't have any app anymore to navigate to your files after having uninstalled the file manager, pretty obvious.
Same story with the launcher, or you will get a bootloop.
3-After you uninstalled all the apks do a cache and a dalvik cache wipe.
4-Reboot and enjoy full speed and no lags!!!:good:
5-Go to the data/data folder and erase the folders from the removed apks (optional), or use sd maid or whatever similar apk to do it for you.
IMPORTANT 2
Do not mess with system apks if you don't know what you are doing and if you don't know how to get back to the beginning in case things go wrong.
I won't take any responsability for any damage caused to your phone.
All what I mention below has worked for me but once more, do not play with your system unless you know how to recover if things get out of control.
SAFE TO REMOVE APKS
Rather than giving a list of removed apks I will list here the apks I didn't remove, so that you can assume that any apk that is not on the list is safe to remove. I do so because it's faster to list the remaining apks than the removed ones...
So here are the apks I kept (I have to admit that it's a bit extreme, and you are of course not obliged to keep so few apks, but at least you'll know which ones are safe to remove):
-csc
-defaultcontainerservice
-flashbarservice (removable if you don't want to have the static multi windows function. By the way I made a mod to enable floating multi windows that doesn't need the flashbar, you can find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48000697#post48000697)
-fusedlocation
-hybrid radio (removable if radio is not your thing)
-jobmanager
-logsprovider
-minimode-res (removable, but I kept it temporarly for testing purposes on the above mentionned floating windows mod)
-packageinstaller
-samsungcamera (removable? It seems that if one removes it then alternative cameras don't work, but I haven't tried them all)
-seccontacts
-seccontactsprovider
-sechtmlviewer (removable and replacable by an alternative html viewer, but since it doesn't spy and since it works well I kept it)
-secphone
-secsettings
-secsettingsprovider
-sectelephonyprovider
-stk
-systemui
-vpndialogs (removable, but then no more vpn)
-wlantest
Note that if you delete mediaprovider you won't be able to change your ringtone and your notification tone anymore (not a big deal for me but I don't know for you), and you will be stucked with the default tones. To change them manually you'll have to open the res/raw folder in framework-res.apk and add your own tones, not a big deal.
ALTERNATIVE APKS
-Launcher:
holo launcher hd, or whatever launcher you like, but install it before you uninstall touch wiz!
-Keyboard (Samsung ime):
I use the modded Xperia keyboard but there are many others.
SMS:
go sms, or any sms apk you like, choices are plentiful.
-Bluetooth:
if you use it for speakers or headphones keep it, but if you use it only to transfer files then uninstall it and use fastfiletransfer (the best, it works without wifi connection) and/or any ftp app (like swiftp for example, but such apps require an active internet connection) instead.
-Video:
mx player or bs player (the two best ones to my opinion) + floating player (basic video player but it boasts a resizable floating window, handy if you want to watch something while doing something else).
-File manager:
ghostcommander (dual panel mode, root browser, customisable toolbar),- or totalcommander.
-Music player:
I like gone mad music player but there are one zillion other options.
-Browser:
opera mini for speed, mozilla firefox for full desktop experience, and dolphin mini for something in the middle. Chrome? No thanks, the least google stuff I have in my phone the better I feel!!!
-Gallery:
quickpic.
-Polaris (pdf reader):
moon reader or mantano.
-Edit documents (doc., docx. etc.):
office suite or kingsoft office.
-Alarm:
any alarm clock apk will do, there are heaps of free ones...
-Google Talk:
lillypad hd.
-Gmail:
any email apk will do, otherwise access gmail from opera mini browser, it's faster.
-Play Store:
aptoide (there are others, see which one fits you the best).
Google Now:
actually you can keep that one if you like it, it's a stand alone apk which means that unlike gmail or gtalk apks it doesn't need the full google framework to work.
-Google maps: maverick (but there are others), google earth (stand alone apk, and not too much on the spy side).
-Clipboard:
clipboard contents.
-Calculator:
aircalc (floating calc).
-Quick Notes:
floating stickies.
-Bonus:
greenify (try it, it hybernates apks and saves juice).
That's all what I can think of for now. You are of course free to ask if you need anything but remember, most stock apks are replaceable and a quick internet search will show you plenty of alternative apks.
Last part, how not to be spied...
Some of the alternative apks I listed above do have abusive permissions, and so have the remaining system apks. To prevent your personal data to be sucked and sent who knows where you need four apks, namely:
1-Rom Toolbox Lite (free) or Pro (paid),
2-Privacy Blocker (paid),
3-AFWall+ (firewall, free),
4-Xprivacy (free).
-First open Privacy Blocker. Scan all your third part apks one by one, and see their dirty little secrets. Then mod the ones you don't like, it's easy, just follow the onscreen instructions.
-Second, open Rom Toolbox. Block adds, prevent any apk from auto starting, disable any transmitter you don't like, and try some build.prop and kernel tweaks if you feel like it (but be careful and do not play with your build.prop and your kernel unless you really know what you are doing).
-Third, set your firewall for wifi, 2/3/4 g, vpn, wlan and roaming with AFWall+.
-Last but not least, install the ultimate protection, Xprivacy:
