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!

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
Gym babes
I love using tom cat dude is funny

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.
These two are my fav on ipad2, flipboard for social news and planetary for visualuzing music collection.
Do screened some in android market, none I found good enough to ....
Any app you found good?

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.

Try the following:

Pulse
My favorites are Feedly and Newsr currently. Several more are in beta stages.

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

How does the SI app look on the GT10.1? I do not have SI, but if it looks slick and works well with GT10.1 I would consider a subscription.

I really like it. The photos look fantastic and the app itself runs pretty well. I have a print subscription so I was able to add the digital at no cost. I may consider going all digital (but it would be tough to give up the print version of the swimsuit issue - I have 30 years worth of those).
What other sports related apps do you use for GT10.1? I know espn scorecenter is not optimized for honeycomb.
I've had no problems using ESPN Scorecenter on my Tab - that's mostly what I use for scores. I'll also just use the browser to hit ESPN.com. I also use the watch ESPN app - allows me to watch events live on the Tab (part of my cable package).
Just trying to get an idea, what music player is everyone using? Currently I'm using Google Music but I have a new pair of headphones coming in the mail in a few days and want to get the best out of them. Share your thoughts!

Google music for the sync ability.

Personally, I'm using PlayerPro with its DSP Pack add-on for 10 band EQ. And if I happen to be on CM7, I add a little slight bass boost.

Hi there. Let me chime in as well. I am using PlayerPro (paid) and I prefer it due to the interface and skin layout. I tried ProAmp and a bunch of others and they are not my cup of tea. I personally don't like google music interface. I also see not much sense in storing my music in the cloud where I can't access it when I am in the air. I am in the process of getting myself a 64GB sdxc and that will hold everything that I currently have on my Zune. As a side, I wish there were an app that lets you use the GS2 with my zune pass subscription, which lets you store your downloaded music subscription etc to your zune player. Currently you can't play this content on the GS2. I am using Klipsch S4 and they are excellent, and for air travel I may switch them on occasion with my audio-technica noise cancelling ear buds.

The EQ app? Just "Equalizer" from the market. I use it since G-Music sounds flat out of the box.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I think PlayerPro has the best interface/sound combo with PowerAmp a close second. I've paid for both.
PlayerPro is the easiest/most intuitive of any player I've tried. The ability to pick the artist photos is a huge plus in my book.
Also, I own those Klipsch S4 earbuds. They sound great!

So I'm looking for a program that looks like Google Music and will list all the tracks I have on my phone in a list sortable either by band or album. Google Music has for the past couple days refused to play anything that's not streaming and even when streaming it sometimes tell me it can't play the selected stream. I can use root explorer and play the files on my phone individually but when selected in Google Music it says sorry can't play selected track. I think I'm gonna try winamp if this thread gets no replies. Thanks in advanced for your help guys!

I've actually been having the same problem with my google music as well. would you happen to be on a ROM? or just stock phone?
I tried out the free demo of poweramp and i actually liked it quite a bit. Winamp was also very good for me and it let me wirelessly sync to my laptop to boot!!

I have the issue using both aokp and shostock2. Haven't tried on a stock rom but I have little interest in going back to stock just for Google Music. I like face unlock too much. =P I don't want a music manager on my computer. Do you think I can plausibly use winamp and just ignore the sync component conpletely? I think I'll look into poweramp for now. Thanks for the suggestion. =]

I use Player Pro - and one warning about winamp - I could not get the phone app to stop looking for the desktop component that wasn't there - which meant it was draining the battery something nasty continually pinging the network.
This was a couple of months ago - they might have fixed it, but just be aware.
I had cloud skipper before flashin ics and it was cool but didn't ever think bout getting it again been using stock player and it's fine but I see alot of ppl sayin power amp might check it out
