We all know about Poweramp, swiftkey, etc, but what are some must have apps that nobody has discovered yet? The apps should be ones you use everyday and should not be ones you can find by simply browsing the top/trending apps in the play store.

Rom finder and bouncy boob wallpaper, both removed from market.
The first I still have is rom finder, it can download any console game ending at ps1. Even has game gear!
The second just disappeared and was a live wallpaper that let you make anything jiggle. (Boobs )

Haha I knew what you meant The only one I've really got is Rotation Locker to force rotation either portrait or landscape. It turned out quite handy on certain games like Temple Run.
Not quite sure if it quite cuts the criteria or your question though

Power Amp is 100x better for functionality. UI wise thats a personal taste.
The only thing I miss about my HD7 was the Zune music player, this app rules.

Yeah this only has basic features (playlist support, shuffle, repeat) which you would expect from a music player.
If you want functionality i'd stick with power amp
but personally i think this is the best looking music player i've used and prefer it solely on its looks

ive been messing with these since alpha 2. its pretty solid and getting better. reminds me alot of the feel i had using my zuneHD, but no shuffle repeat options on the now playing. still its actually kinda nice, i bounce back and forth between this and player pro.
edit: found the shuffle repeat options, have to long press the album art. cant wait til finished release.
I like the feel of this and I guess I could use dsp manager for an eq instead of poweramp..

It would definitely be smart not to use that particular apk.
I like it quite a lot, works very smooth, grabs art from lastfm and scrobbles.
I don't think there is a way to skip to a certain part of a song.. I think dragging from left to right would be nice (like in mvideoplayer)
this might very well get me to switch from using poweramp. once a widget comes out in a update hopefully then i'll switch for sure
i've got it on my desire hd, and love it.
but i wish it had lock screen functionality
really good stuff on him for making it. i really like it
I love it

I've spent the last few weeks trying to get album art for all of my music so it looked good but since i've been using this, i prefer the pictures it brings up in the background, i'm now looking for a way to get rid of the album art lol, can anyone help?

beta 3 is out
Does anyone know of a nice, classy weather widget that looks/ plays nice with ICS? I'm open to suggestions but most specifically I saw the Sense 4.0 weather/clock imitation but I don't know what it is/ who made it
Fancy Widgets, Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets are some of the popular ones.
Beautiful widget is free on GetJar.
I use both 1weather and aix weather.
1weather has a classy looking widget which gives general details. Whereas aix gives an hourly overview of both temperature and rainfall which is surprisingly accurate.
Both free on the play store.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
thanks so much everyone. I've seen beautiful widgets and the like ( HD widgets is new to me, looks nice though) There is just so much on the Play Store and other places is hard to find everything
Just to let everyone know in my personal experience HD widgets is not working. Everytime I drop the widget onto the homescreen it crashes. Trebuchet w/ CM9.
I am using HD widgets on AOKP (4.0.4) with Nova launcher and they work great. However I have read in another thread somewhere that it wasn't playing nice with CM9...but it could be launcher related...

I've been using Fancy Widgets since I had my captivate, and it's been awesome. Also, no problems since I've been on ICS. The only reason I haven't tried Beautiful Widgets is because I had already paid for the Fancy Widgets Unlocker, but they seem pretty similar.

NEW
Flipboard for Android is now available from the official site (after register and waiting) and I have it for you guys now. It is little bit different from Samsung version and now it has update function also.
Here is latest version for Android generic
It says first after installation, not suitable for your phone bla bla bla, but just ignore it.
http://www.megashare.com/4293444
Really Great!
It's very nice and I* love the "paper scrolling"
Though I don't know which to use between Pulse, Currents, Taptu and Flipboard
Flipboard is still in early beta and looks and feel like an iphone app but I love the functions and "slide left to right to go back" function!
Pulse has been acting very weird lately and the scrolling is laggy, though I love the look of the app and the Pulse.me website!
Currents only supports RSS and take up a lot of space, but it caches the images which is really important! Though I don't like than you have pages that you scroll left or right and the bottom toolbar is way too small even on a 4.3 inch screen! it's not that good!
Taptu which I'm using right now is really good and probably the best of them! I really recommend!
Though I wish all had an easy to use "add to pocket" button instead of sharing to Pocket!
New version released today for Android
v.1.8.4. beta 2_74
Enjoy!

very nice stuff; works great and looks great with the newest CM9 release!
I tried the beta out a few weeks ago and it was using obscene amounts of CPU. I really liked the enhancements he made to the stock player though, so I'll check it out again to see if it can unseat PlayerPro as my daily driver.
