Well, a kind of a survey, anyway. I'd like to know what are your favourite apps in any category! I'll collect the stuff you write and put it in the 1st post, to make it easy for new users (like me) to find out what the greatest apps are! Please, when you mention an app, do mention the reasons you like it, too, and maybe even a link to it (keep it legal)!
Okay, so, I'll suggest some categories to begin with.
What is the audio/music player of your choice? The stock one can't be the best one, it doesn't even have an equalizer.
What is the video player of your choice? I've noticed that the stock one is quite lousy, as it barely plays the videos recorded on phone without lag. I'd like to watch TV shows on my MB526 (since I commute every day, so I hate wasting 45mins on the bus doing nothing) and I'd like that to be a joyful activity.
What is the navigation app of your choice? NDrive? iGo? Standard Google Maps? Which one has the best maps for your area and which one gives your location most precisely?
What is the most interesting app you've come across? Candle? Lighter? There's gotta be something more interesting than this?
What is the app you use most frequently on your defy(+)?
Can you think of any more categories? And apps that fall into them? Post, post, post!
*When I say stock I mean my MotoBlur Android 2.3.4. system (I am intending to load something else soon...)*

Well I do use the stock one (blurmusic from atrix) and I don't feel the need of using another one. I has nice interface, acceptable widget and lockscreen controls.. It has some equalizer (media audio effects), and it can be used with some 3d party equalizer app like "Equalizer" app
Using the stock one or MoboPlayer. Didn't notice any problem with MoboPlayer so don't need to search for another one, but I heard that the Mobo Video Player is a good one.
I don't use much navigation, but when I need some guide I use google, but it's navigation is a little bit buggy when it comes to calculate the route.
Hmm, don't know, when I first hear about Widgetlocker it was wery interesting for long time, same was with MiLocker..transparent screen is interesting app..no use to me but it's interesting, it's cool
Hmm.. Zumocast, Viber, Music Player, TuneIn radio, Tapatalk...there are much more..oh yes zedge

On my firmware, stock music player = CMP (Connected Music Player). It's not really bad, but it can be a lot better. Which ROM does have the BlurMusic player from Atrix?
Thanks for the reply, neighbor
Cheers!
I use PlayerPro for music, BSplayer for video, sygic for navigation (also precache on brut maps - even better)
Most interesting app is GTA3 ofc.
I most use : Timetable, BW, Golauncher, Palmary Weather Pro, Dolphin HD and Root Explorer.

How playable is GTA3 now? I kinda don't want to play it without music (radio), cause that's what's the GTA series was all about for me... Driving around and listening to the radio stations My favourite is Vice City, it had the best stations! Enough of the off topic now
Can you tell me why do you prefer Dolphin HD over other browsers? I am gonna test it anyway, but wanted to know your opinion.
Sygic does look nice... Can you tell me more about Brut Maps, too? I've never heard of that before, but I see that it's some kind of a mod of Google Maps?
Best video players :
1st is Vital player, 2nd mvideo player
Best music player :
Google music player is awesome..
Best launcher :
Go launcher (go sms, go contacts), and ofcourse SPB may be the best.
Best weather widget :
Beweather pro
Best dictionary :
Colordict

I didn't like the CMP either, the MS2Ginger rom has the Atrix player, it has it somewhere attached.

Brut maps is mod for Google Maps that enables navigation in rest of the world (it was just for USA until brut came out)
Gta3 is playable only if you use Gta settings launcher and low everything. (also on xda like brut maps)
Vice city map could probably be available for gta 3 cause gta 3 for android is the same version as PC version.
I prefer Dolphin and Opera cause they have some addons to turn on flash content if you're on 3g...also they have many excellent addons.
All of that is available on this forum
music player: TTpod
Video player: Mx Video Player
Navigation: just Google Maps
most interesting app: I just love Dropbox
TTpod seems interesting, I've checked it out on the market! Will test it one of the next days..!
Okay, I've done some testing already and would like to share my opinion. It's about launchers.
SPB Shell 3D - I don't like it. It's quite boring and not practical. It's slower than others, too. Yeah, the 3D switching of home screens is very nice but there's nothing more to this launcher.
GoLauncher EX - This one's great! I love how everything can be configured and set up the way one prefers! A lot of effects makes it VERY interesting. What I really hate about is that it comes with 3 or 4 more apps! I HATE that! I don't want GO Shop or any GO Widget... Is there a clean install of this launcher awailable?
ADW Launcher EX - I think it's the fastest one, or at least it seems so on my stock 2.3.4 (defy+)! It's simple and effective, that's why I like. The problem is I couldnt find settings/options!! Can this one be configured at all?

I did so, but the thought that they are there and that they are occupying my phone's resources for no good reason bothers me a lot! That's why I deleted GoLauncher and am now back to stock (BlurHome?) Will test more of them, though!

You forgot Play Music (v4.1.513)
And "Play <whatever>" ... what idiotic names.
Things now sound like a Kindergarten - or the new pron district of the Internet (Play Store, download your virtual Hook*** here!).
What's next? Android gets renamed into "Play OS" (to make the whole ecosystem sound like a Fisher Price toy)?
Works well thx

Not that hard at all (or how you think I got the new Play APKs? ) ... but you know that there will always be a selected few who don't know about Market Unlocker or Market Enabler.
On the other hand, there are a few mobile operators that block access to foreign Market.

play store doesn't support 2.1???
i have been experiencing random pauses while listening to music.
it can be with any app (stock player, google play, tunein, winamp and deezer) and at random times.
i experienced this with my old htc dhd but headset blocker fixed it on that.
i dont think it the headphones socket as this has happened when my phone was sat on the kitchen worktop while i was cooking.
i have tried many roms also but im currently back to stock but rooted (although it still does it when it was unrooted as well).
i have done some reseach into this and have tried a couple of things like uninstalling google listen.
if anybody has any other solutions it would be very grateful as i ride my bike to work and stopping to play music every couple of minutes is really annoying.
...I have the same issue mahall1988, and can sympathise with you as I also ride to work and when you have to keep restarting the music player, it can get......erm, :angel: somewhat annoying !
....anyone with any fixes out there?

I think what mahall1988 & I suffers from (well me for sure anyway) is a permanent pause state, not just a temporary one that occurs whilst the phone receives a notification and then restarts.
...keep the suggestions coming though

I was wondering if there is an app that can tell me what is using any services for sound
I can think of three things:
a) your phone audio jack/connector is dirty. You said you think this is not the case, but this happens way to often to be dismissed just because the phone was on your kitchen table when it happened. Try cleaning it out, (for example, follow this tutorial: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Clean-a-18-3.5mm-Headphone-Jack/ ).
b) your phone is extremely short on memory. Maybe caused by an app that you use on all your tryouts? If your phone suffers from this, Android sometimes kills even the apps it shoudn't.
c) an app causes the media to pause... this is easy to rule out - install a fresh copy of any ROM and don't install any of your apps.
Just my $.02.
you probally have the motion setting on to mute sounds when phone is turned over if its in your pocket it will. i turn it off if going out while got music on. when you get a call and turn it over it silences the ring stupidly it does the same when listening to music.

if anybody has any other solutions it would be very grateful as i ride my bike to work and stopping to play music every couple of minutes is really annoying.

I too have the same problem (not as severe as you guys) but it does pause for no apparent reason, this started after Winamp update. I thought it is a problem with Winamp, I need to try a different media player before concluding anything.

Ruddy annoying ain't it.!
Like you say try another player and hopefully this will solve it for you
Unfortunately the pause issue occurs for me across multiple players Inc tune in radio. I also have motion control and voice commands disabled. Now installed a dual boot siyah kernel so I can run a clean cm10 rom install on second time to see if it is an app or at least narrow the possible culprit down. Will report back on this thread with any findings that may help others?
AW: music randomly pausing
Same problem here -> stock player pauses without any reason. Turned off the mute motion function but problem still persists.
I had this for a long time. Have not seen it since I got 4.1.2. (with Poweramp)

...glad 4.1.2 solved the issue for you
I experienced the issue from ICS all way up to 4.1.2 (including 4.1.2) on the Stock ROM for International I19300. I then rooted and changed to NeatROM to see if that solved anything, that did not solve, so I changed Kernel to Siyah, that also did not solve.
I then installed a clean CM10.1 on the 2nd ROM of Dual Boot Siyah Kernel and that DID solve the issue. I installed only Poweramp andran it for over 4 hours today and not experienced a single pause. Booted back into 1st ROM and pause occurred within 5 mins!
Now all I have to do is figure out is the cause of the pauses due to a certain app?........should be fun !

Maybe we find it out faster if we all (who have the problem) post a list of installed apps.

.... should not take too long to narrow it down
EDIT: Froze all the above apps using Titanium Backup, was all hopeful after I got one hour pause free use......then is paused and paused again several times after
There MUST be a reason why some of use suffer from this, just need to suss out what the heck it is !
This might sound crazy but try cleaning out the headphone socket!

... Thanks for the reply shorty_blitz
I have tried that using a contact cleaner spray on a jack plus got the air compressor on it, but that also failed to clear the fault for me, but may help others
I see where you are coming from - a particle may be shorting out the contact points, causing the phone to believe a headphone remote has requested player to pause music. But the problem does Not occur on my second ROM running CM10.1 with only power amp installed extra to default apps.
......... The search continues
..hi guys! I am looking for the best music app to install in my defy, maybe you can help
I tried many (poweramp, n7player, musixmatch, xenoamp, play music etc etc), but still I can't find the one that can do all the things I need!
I would prefer a free app of course, but I would even pay for it if I find the good for me..!!
the most important features the music app I look for should have are:
- possibility to hide/exclude folders from the music library
- sleep timer
- show lyrics (without installing extra apps or plugins)
..the best ones I found so far are in the order:
- rocket player (BUT can not show lyrics, unless they are embedded in the songs, and I don't have any songs with embedded lyrics)
- Media Monkey (BUT doesn't have sleep timer, and directories management is not so good, there are no "select all" and "select none" buttons for example)
- tunewiki (BUT can not hide/exclude directories at all)
Even poweramp that they say is the best app in the world didn't like me because of the lyrics (he needed a third app to show them)
any help for this reasearch? you would really make me happy as a baby! :laugh:
thanks in advance bye!
Winamp is your best bet.
Lyrics is an "add-on".

thanks for the answer. I did try n7player and also liked it, but to show lyrics it still uses third apps (musixmatch) and I don't like that why use two apps (and double ram) when some apps (like media monkey) can do that alone? unfortunately media moneky has some other cons for me (no sleep timer that i really need!!)
cleanmusic
I use Clean Music, you can find it on the Playstore..
i like it bacause it has a clean UI, like holo, and it works well with cm equalizer...
size: ca. 400KBs ... very beautiful player
grazie Enrico.. i tried it but i can't find the sleep timer (even if in the description they speak about it) and no lyrics.. well i think i should give up about lyrics but at least customizable directories and sleep timer..!!
Hey do you want to compromise on sound or effects? Remember each player may come with own sound drivers or some may use existing. Dont loose quality in search of variety. Some are speaker loud some good in headphone and some good in documents specifications alone like watts.
Like each custom rom coming with own flavour
A person cannot be short and tall same time
