Must Have Apps For Your Android

Now that the Android platform of smart phones and more recently tablet pc's, has obviously rocketed into popularity what are some of the must have apps? It can be hard to find apps you want with an app market breaking 30,000 of the little buggers. So I have compiled a list of app I've found useful on my LG Ally with Android 2.1., Although mines slightly modified.

1. Set CPU (for rooted devices) allow you to tweak your CPU giving your phone the ability to perform faster, but be careful increase it to much and you will generate kernel panic. Which will cause your phone to reboot.
2. Widgetsoid is probably the coolest app I've seen so far. It allows you to create custom shortcuts to your apps, just like holding it and placing it, but much much more control and personalization. I highly recommend it and better yet its free.
3. Tunee Music is basically a torrent for your phone. Just search any artist or song and it will find it 99% of the time with absolutely no charges to install or download music.
4. Superuser (for rooted devices) is what allows Set CPU to make its changes and its a must have for rooted devices.
5. Skyfire is a web browser that allows you to view almost any flash video for those of us without the fancy flash enabled phones. It pops up a link to the video whenever it detects one, sends the info to somewhere not really sure where, and sends it back to your phone in a format it will play.
6. Shazam identifies songs and tell you all the artist and song info very handy and a very popular app.
7. Ringdroid allows you to take a song or a part of a song from your phone and makes it a ringtone, alert, or notification, for people who don't like the stock sounds.
8. Pandora is pretty self explanatory just the mobile app take your internet radio anywhere.
9. ROM Manager is another must have for rooted users. If you want to flash custom roms and make backup roms.
10. MixZing is a media player app, I find it much better than the factory Android one. It finds album art, and artist info, even lets you change the ID tags (on the paid version) to the correct song info. Even has a nifty equalizer.
11. Fandango is a very popular app as well find all the movies playing in your area. Buy tickets from your phone and see showing times.
12. iMobsters is a fun game. Basically its Mafia Wars for your phone.
13. Facebook app enough said.
14. Ebay app is very useful if your on ebay a lot, buy and sell.
15. Barnacle Wifi Tether (for rooted devices) allows you to use your phone a wifi hotspot. Well sorta it sends out an ad-hoc net work instead of your normal wifi. So if your computer won't recognize an ad-hoc network your sol, but if yours does then great!

So that's my list of must have apps for your Android devices. As I find more I'm sure I'll make another post about the subject. Now go try those apps out!
