What would they be? Doesn't matter if they are free or you pay, just they are dependable and useful and work well with Nook Color?
Gmail/K9 (in other words, an email app. Gmail likes to crap out, so I switch to k9)
Perfect Viewer (the best comic/manga viewer)

Dolphin HD (wish I could say Firefox was my go to browser, but it still doesn't work well)
Rockplayer (wish it was VLC. WHERE ARE YOU VLC?!)

shoot. I forgot about Doggcatcher. I might have swap Youtube out for Doggcatcher.
MangaWhat! Great manga reader until Viz Media and the ilk get a nook app going.
Root Explorer Talk about getting full control of the nook color
Dropbox No longer need to transfer things from my computer by usb cable
Perfect Viewer Totally agree this thing is great
Xda Developers Premium Need I say more?
Gmail
Dolphin HD
Astro
Youtube HQ
VLC convert and stream (and VLC on your computer)
Should take care of most of your needs on a stock rooted Nook.
I more than five that I highly recommend
1. IMO - free multi chat app - runs great
2. Manga Watcher - Love it amazing for my Naruto fix
3. Pulse News and MoreGood News HD - both free
4. Dropbox - cloud storage and then some - free
5. Yahoo! Mail works amazing on nook
6. Advanced Task Killer - Kills apps from running on the background and taking up precious memory
7. CraigsNotification - free craigslist app that I love
8. Facebook is fun
9. dolphin brower or xcope 6 works amazing
10.Pageonce - bill management
1. Newsrob for RSS feeds
2. Root Explorer
3. Plume for Twitter
4. Angry Birds Seasons for obvious reasons
5. Titanium Backup
I also have to recommend Manga Watcher because it's so good, but more of a preference than necessity.
Rooting/Modding Apps
1. Titanium Backup - Clear app data, backup apps
2. Rom Manager - Clockwork Recovery saves all
3. Autostarts - prevents apps from launching by themselves
4. Hot reboot - I'm lazy and this is a big time saver
Day to day/productivity apps
1. Zeam launcher - best launcher for the nook, clean and easy to use
2. Dolphin browser mini or HD. Best browser for android, hd or mini depends on personal preference
3. Dropbox - Perfect for syncing files between my PC, Mac at work, Droid X and Nook
4. Tapatalk pro - for reading forums
5. Pandora - cos music rules

I can't seem to get Zeam to work properly.
I use ADW and decided to try Zeam and I choose it as my home but there's no dock bar. There's nothing on the workspaces actually, except for the standard nook color bar (i'm on a stock rooted) and the three dots at the top to tell you what screen you're on.
I tried restarting it and nothing. When i try to add a shortcut, the screen flicks as if it were going to bring up a menu, but it just goes back to the main screen

1.. button savior - softkeys is fugly

Apps
Hi,
Here are my most used:
Button Savior - I like it best of the 'on screen' button apps.
NewsRob - google rss compatible news reader. night mode (paid)
FBReader - epub ebook reader. Has nice night mode and pleasant to use.
Repligo PDF reader - seems to reflow PDF text the best. (Paid)
Calibre Library - (Paid) to access Calibre ebook library on PC over WiFi.
FBSync - syncs the FBReader library to Dropbox, including books and progress.
Good for when you are reloading too many ROMs!
XDA-Developers (or premium) - for reading these forums!
Quick settings - Lives in notification bar to adjust brightness/WiFi etc.
Other:
Dropbox - handy for everything. Cloud Storage at least 2GB with easy access.
Terminal emulator - for accessing the linux command line.
Astro file manager - for file system browsing.
Screen filter - dims screen past system dimming levels. Lives in notification
bar and as a widget(?)
Simi Clock - a clock widget.
On my phone I also use Evernote for capturing quick notes/sharing with
my other devices.
Peter
Mine
File Expert
RockPlayer lite
DolphinHD

FancyWidget
System:
Launcher Pro Plus (Great alternative launcher, milti-docks, transitions)
Clockwork mod (Dat backup)
Rom Manager (Flashing CWM, Roms)
Spare Parts (IF not on your device, get it)
cpu tuner (Great free version of set cpu)
Utilities:
Color Flashlight (Sooo bright)
QQ player (dem videos)
Evernote (Note taking app)
imediashare (Connect to devices via wireless, ps3, 360)
Battery Booster (Info on battery)
APPS:
NHL gamecenter (Cause hockey is awesome)
Pules (Great news agrigator)
XDA
Dolphin HD (Hands down best browser for the nook color)
Quick system info (Monitor your cycles and memories)
Games:
Meteor Blitz (3D top-down shooter, my personal fav... it's $1 people)
PewPew (2D Top-down shooter)
Crystal Defenders (Final Fantasy inspired tower defense)
Gun Bros (pure awesome)
Dungen Hunter (Simple diablo-type 3D action-arcade)
Dolphin Mini ( (I prefer it over its bigger brother. Sleek, but functional. Smoothest scrolling I've found)
Launch-X Free (a widget that pretty much replaced my app launcher)
Öffi (In Germany, this is a life-saver. Even better on my Wildfire. See if it works for your place)
Pulse (Most used app hands down)
Fleya (Breathtaking Fluid simulator)
Firefox - Man, I love this app. The syncing, the navigation... everything
Pulse - Just perfect for the Nook
Aldiko - Great for my library books (free legal e-books!!)
Dropbox - I use it for everything
ReadItLater - I just started using this app, but I already see a huge value in having an "everywhere" synced list. I can use the browser extension/plugin to throw pages to my nook for offline reading when there's no internet... and I can "share to" pages from my nook for websites that have content that my nook can't handle or need a PC (I read a lot of indie game feeds in pulse).

Good thing you kept it to only 5 apps.
Gmail
Dolphin Browser HD
Kindle
Aldiko
ACV comics viewer
1. Firefox - I live with its flaws as it has the best browser GUI IMHO
2. Quick Office HD - from the Norton thread, kinda a life saver
3. Market Nook App - I don't read books, but you gotta show the page turn animation to people over 40 or they don't believe you have a tablet (no offense)
4. Angry Birds - The under -40 show off app
5. Snesoid lite - Mario Kart on Nook
Honorable mention: AirAttack HD Lite, Doodle Bowling, Genial Writing, FPse, Glow Hockey, tv.com
Best on the computer Nook related app:
Handbrake- for encoding video for the nook

I don't know why the poster wanted five. I like to see what people use best and especially if they say why the app is useful even if its more than five.
Does anyone have any app recommendations for the Flyer? I am enjoying the Kindle app and Dolphin Browser Mini for tabbed browsing.
I can't wait for Netflix to get their stuff together so we can use it. I tried and it only streams audio, no video comes through.

+1 on Netflix
XDA premium app ofcourse.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA Premium App
Google Music Beta works great and I'm enjoying TV sows with TV Shows Stream from the Android Market. Also, don't forget to downlaod Spare Parts and unchecl the "Compatability Mode" is you come across apps that don't stretch to full screen.
Google Voice MIA
- Google Voice does not appear in the Market. Had to download APK from alternate source in order to get it.
- HBOGO App = No Go on Flyer.
- +2 On Netflix
But the GV thing is just plain weird. I notified HTC Support and they were of course no help whatsoever.
GV depends on telephony because of some permissions. So the market filters it out.It doesn't show up for most wifi only devices.
I sideloaded Voice. Also installed Skype for VOIP calling... not integrated with contacts or Voice though. Dropbox was a must for me also.
whatsapp
does anyone know if the flyer can use whatsapp?

There are 2 developers of apps called Spare Parts in the Android Market; DroidGram makes two - Spare Parts Plus! (no ads) and Spare Parts Plus! Pro (no ads)
and Android Apps makes one simply named Spare Parts.
Which one are you using?
Thanks

Yes it can. It works well with the big screen.
However, I can't find it from the market. I need to get the apk from my DesireHD.
I have installed NKJV Bible, NIV Bible and the free KJV Bible. The blue icon Bibles in Market. They are such great apps for personal devotion or study.

Wow, thanks for the info! I just did as you described and all my apps now stretch to full screen!
My recommendations are...
Thumb Keyboard for landscape text entry. NewsRob pro for RSS and Pulse for casual browsing. Plus all the games I liked on my phone are even better: Jet Stunt Cars, Plants Vs Zombies, etc. Unfortunately your progress doesn't transfer over until we have root.

I just got my tab two months ago, and I have been trying to find any app that best suits this gadget. So far, I almost got what I want, so I decide to write them down, and maybe this can help some other newcomers like me.
player:
1.BSplayer. It has a very nice ui and an functional LAN mode(you can stream from any smb server within a LAN). It's currently introduced a hw acceleration method, which I think is as good as the one that Diceplayer has.
2.Google Music. Very cool UI with a nice widget. A must-have app for anyone who likes google's music streaming service.
Google Reader
HD Reader Since I rely on google reader to subscribe rss feeds, google reader app is definitely a essential reading tool on my tab. But I really don't like the google's version(it's just a phone app). After several days of app-hunting, I found this one, it supports 3 different theme, and many essential settings such as on/off line mode, font family, cache, image downloading, etc. it's ui design is just visually appealing. Plus it has a transparent widget which is also configurable.
Podcast download/streaming
Beyond Pod. This one is definitely the best choice if you listen/watch podcast on daily basis. the ui is optimized for tablet, and transition is quite smooth. It provided all the basic features of a podcast receiver app.
Ebook Reader
Mantano I tried a lot of ebook reader's but eventually settled with Mantano reader. It has a very nice ui which is optimized for tablet. It supports epub as well as pdf. The reading experience is excellent.
Ezpdfreader. Probably the best pdf reader I could find.
Facebook/twitter
Wizz widget for tablet. this applet is just enough for basic usage of facebook/twitter. so I don't need other apps for these. Anyway,you can try Friendme/Friendcaster, and tweetcomb. These individual apps are all optimized for the tablets.
My Recommended Apps For Tablet - From Galaxy 10.1 WiFi
Player
1) PlayerPro. It is about the only player app that gave me the opportunity to edit the album art for each one of my songs. Another cool thing of it is the ability to install and use personalized Skins. Pretty Nice looking interface, to me this is my Music Player Winner. My library looks so organized with this app.
2) Google Music. As hilltruange states, this is a must-have app for anyone who likes google's Music Streaming service. I also like the fact that it kind of connects your music experience with the new market Music feauture.
3)AudioGalaxy. This is the winner when it comes to a low capacity of storage on your device!. AudioGalaxy allows you to stream ALL your music from home straight to your personal device in just a few SECONDS! This app is kind of like Google Music nevertheless it does not upload it to the cloud but instead it streams it using the internet connection. Must-have as well.
Ebook Reader
I personally go more for the cool looking interface - Flipping pages like a real book rather than what the app itself can do. Ive had my Galaxy 10.1 Tab for about 4 months now and Ill have to admit that i havent found anything really better than the Ebook.apk app that came with my Task650 - ROM. It does the job just great! In my opinion this app really makes the reading feel like if you were reading a real technological book. I personally use online EPUB converters so that i can enjoy my PDF's with the "Flipping pages" feature.
Just for the record, Ive tried Mantano and dont get me wrong. The app is awesome but just the fact that it only does scrolling effect on the pages really bugs me. :-(
Live TV/Movies/Sports/Streaming
So far my Number One app for live Tv streaming is Veetle.apk. I've personally used Veetle for about 2 years now and trust me it is great!. It is about the only app out there that allows you to stream hd movies at a very nice quality on your Tablet!. I also have NETFLIX which also does the job for me.
Android Launcher
ADWLauncher Ex. I understand that the Stock Android Launcher looks pretty descent but the ADWLauncher Ex just turns your Android Tablet experience to a whole new level! Take a look at my Google+ TNDG page:
h t t p s : / / p l u s . g o o g l e . c o m / u /0/b/103728314829341153863/#
In there i have some of my tablet screen pics using ADWLauncher Ex.
WiFi Calling! For Free
Groove IP. If you have a WiFi ONLY tablet then you should really get yourself a Google Voice account and download GrooVe IP from the market!. Groove IP tuns your WiFi Tablet into a Phone. Must-Have if you want to make phone calls for free.
OoVoO. Number ONE Video conference app WAY better and HD quality compared to Tango. If you have Google Talk and most of your friends are on it then you should be fine using the Talk Video feauture. Nevertheless, if you want to experience something different but with the same quality as Google hangouts then i strongly recommend to download OoVoO.apk.
Sound Equilizer
EQualizer. EQualizer from Google Music takes the quality of your tablet sound to a whole new level!.
Best Keyboards
SwiftKey Tablet X. SwiftKey Tablet X is in my opinion the best when it comes to a nice looking neon easy to use keyboard experience!.
HD Tablet - Video Games!
Riptide GP - HD
ShadowGun - HD
Pinball for Tegra - HD
Ocean Bubble - HD
Light Racer 3D - HD
GOF2 THD - HD
Block Breaker 3 - HD

thanks for the suggestion of Reader HD, that's the kind of RSS program I've been looking for! Love the theme unification with Gmail!

I've had my tab since August, and I've spent a lot of time trying out different apps and bouncing around.
I still stick with Stitcher for Podcasts, having tried BeyondPod and a few others and just not being that impressed. I'm hoping Stitcher will get more tablet-optimized soon.
For an RSS reader, I hadn't seen HD Reader before -- it looks pretty slick. I've been turned off by all the apps like Pulse which turn my daily news-reading into a huge multimedia experience; I much prefer the simplicity of the standard Google Reader app to that. HD Reader looks like it might be a nice merging, though, and I'll give that a try.
MoonReader+ works well for epub reading, but I think I'll give Mantano a try.
DicePlayer was one of the first apps I bought for my tablet for videos, and I haven't regretted it.
Reddita is great for browsing and posting to Reddit. I have Reddit is Fun for my phone, but Reddita is just perfect on tablets.
I prefer Thumb Keyboard | Tablet over SwiftKey X for Tablet, but it's pretty close. I use Hacker's Keyboard occasionally when I'm doing terminal sessions. Speaking of, Better Terminal Emulator pro is the only option for SSH sessions!
Make sure you browse around Tablified.
news360 is my favorite news app for the tab so far, but I'll have to checkout HD reader.
thank u so much guys...these lists were needed a long ago but its never late.
i agree that these lists are awesome and this thread must be sticky so that newcomers can take advantage.
Music
TuneIn Radio - Ha! Who needs an FM antenna? I can get all my favorite radio stations from everywhere I've ever lived, oh and that cool one from Germany. I haven't even bothered putting MP3s on my tab because of this app.
Ebook
FBreader - No fancy graphics, just customizable and simple epub access. Quite possibly the most opened app on my Tab.
TV
Crunchyroll - Mmmm anime. I've been tempted more than once to invest in the premium access.
Keyboard
Thumb Keyboard - Very fast, and has an awesome Tron-styled theme.
HD Reader is amazing, I've been using it since the first day I got the tab. it is the best Google Reader that I've seen

Is their a way to increase font size in mantano reader?

So my favorite apps are:
Podcasts: Stitcher
News Reader: Currents, Pulse
Launcher: ADW
Browser: Dolphin w/ LastPass & Xmarks
Voicemail: Google Voice
Media: Pandora, Plex, 8tracks
DLNA: Skifta
Remote Desktop: PocketCloud

someone recommended reddita for reddit, while it is good, i prefer f5 for reddit on tab, and on the phone, bacon reader( also for redit)
I use Pulse and I really like it, some times Currents too but one big issue is offline reading i have 32gigs on my tab and i dont care how much it takes to download all news everyday from about 100 sources. but I want to read full articles with images offline when im on the road..
I would be greatful for any advice
Just had my wifes replacement tab arrive today, boy its gonna be fun getting into this thing!
I've seen a lot of great suggestions here, but was wondering if there are many launchers optimized for tablet?
I saw ADWlauncherEX suggested, i already own that on my phone so i will definitely try that first.

I've seen a lot of great suggestions here, but was wondering if there are many launchers optimized for tablet?
I saw ADWlauncherEX suggested, i already own that on my phone so i will definitely try that first.

I don't know about launchers designed for tablets, but I use ADWex and have had no issue at all with it.
On a side note, Mint just optimized their finance app for tabs and it is great. If you're a stickler about managing your expenses, I find this app to be incredible.
Anybody know pdf readervthat is quick to open not so complex docs and pdf, mostly meeting notes. Ccurrently using ezypdf and polaris office, both is quite slow and for polaris after many pdf docs will force close.

This list looks good. I just rooted my RAZR (I was a little nervous about it) but will look into ROM Toolbox. I have seen it mentioned several times in the forums. Same thing with Bootmenu. I downloaded Tasker about a week ago and am still trying to figure it out...can you recommend any good tutorials? I am not

Launcher - currently using Nova, and absolutely loving it. Used Apex for quite a while.
Music player - I purchased Poweramp, and use(d) that for quite a while. Really liking n7player, as well. Dood's Music Streamer is great for listening to Grooveshark; although I think it was recently pulled from the market.
Games - Bad Piggies has me hooked currently (I'm a sucker for well-polished games, as well as building anything). Flow Free is one of those games I can just keep playing through.
Browser - Used ICS Browser+ and loved it, but it doesn't work on my current ROM. Quick ICS Browser seems to be functionally similar. The default Browser isn't bad, either. For some reason, I just can't get myself to use Chrome.
Utilities/Misc - utilitas for flashlight, etc. For it's brilliant premise and usefulness, even though I'm sure everyone already uses it, I just love JuiceDefender. It works on such a simple premise and just works (TM).
Game - Aces spades
Calendar - CalenGoo
Clock - SiMi Clck
Launcher - Apex
Music Player - Motocast
Sports - NFL Mobile
Cooking - Allrecipes
Money Saver - GasBuddy
Phone Search - Gesture Search
Tethering - FoxFi
Messages - Handcent SMS
Things to do - Trip Advisor
GO Launcher + option
Messenger from Yahoo
MX Player (the best player)
RemindBirthday(sync with Facebook)
Smart Optimization Box
SoundHound
My favorite Apps:
E-Mail: Aqua Mail

Airdroid
You can download/upload files from/to any computer wireless

Nice post! There is just an error :
-Dice Player with Tegra 2 codec -> Tegra 3 on the HOX+
And personnally I find Kingsoft office better than Officesuite Pro HD, more functions, and Free!
And when I'll have my One X+ I'll take a look on this thread!
yeah sorry for that dice player. And these are just suggested apps, Out there are much more better alternatives.

ABP is nice indeed, though I think it's still beta-ish. I got quite some loading/Wifi issues after installing ABP. Sometimes things took like 20 seconds to load, even on Wifi :/
Yes, I changed to adway .. Will have a look ,soon
Screen off ? Are you crazy, that's the worst app. So much spam and ways cpu

I have a few I can't dismiss in my phone, they are:
Smart Volume Control + - don't have to be searching for options and going from here to there to do something, this app has every major option of the phone in such a little amount of space. Volume control, abitily to create profiles, mute, turn on and off wifi, 3g and others.
Easy Money - manage my bank accounts.
Essential apps for Android
Thanks for this comprehensive list.
I one I that I couldn't live without...
#1 is Evernote With Evernote, all of your notes, web clips, files and images are made available on every device and computer you use. What I really like is it's simple and intuitive interface. nice clean design that allows you to make notes with photos and audio capabilities. I must admit it took a little time to learn all the capabilities it has but I now depend on it. It's a free app.

I'd recommend you to use 'Droid Light' made by Motorola or 'Tesla LED' by the makers of Nova Launcher, because Brightest Flashlight requires ALMOST EVERY permission, from reading phone calls to Full Internet Access, whereas these apps don't use any such permissions
