Hi all,
I'm looking forward to get my Tab 7.7 16Gt 3G/Wi-Fi and I like to get some app recommendations, free or non-free.
It will be mostly used while travelling so apps should work without Internet connection and in flight mode.
So far my list has:
- Kindle for Android
- Astro File Manager
- Sygic GPS or NAVIGON for Android
I want to:
- View photos
- Watch movies
- View PDF documents
- View/edit Word 2010 documents
- Play some games
As noted they have to be usable in flight mode.
Other must have apps ?
TIA

Some MUST HAVE apps for the Samsung 7.7:
The stock Gallery is good enough to view photos. File Expert is also an option.
VPlayer, MX Player, Dice Player can play almost any media files you throw at it including mkv files.
Polaris Office is an inbuild app to view or edit Word documents. You can get 3rd party apps like Quick Office Pro and Office Suite too.
For PDF: EzPDF, Repligo
Games: Angry bird is everyone's favorite, esp angry bird space. Pool 3D pro, Shadowgun, card games like solitaire.
Must have apps if your Phone is rooted:
Titanium Backup pro
Root Explorer
Superuser
Busybox
Ditch the Stock touchwiz launcher and install ADW launcher EX
^ agreed. Touchwiz sux.
You may also want to invest in a quality SD card (if you haven't already). Depending on video quality(Mbps)...expect about 300 min worth of movie storage or 500 min of music @ 13mbps. You can store more than this but you will degrade quality with lower transfer rates.
If you do decide to root your device, you can also save on precious battery life by adding a battery managment app like JuiceDefender.
I would recommend you to perform the following first before everything else:
1. Get root
2. Install GO Launcher HD (Beta) and make it as default
Some would recommend ADW Launcher EX, but I found GO Launcher HD (Not the EX one) more responsive with less memory footprint. You may compare before decide.

Mine does that too whenever i restore a rom. The market auto restores all apps but they download to /sdcard/download first. Even if you delete the files from download. Reflash a new rom and let it restore your apps it will re-add the "downloadfile*.apk" to your downloads folder. Weird but nice.
Never thought of it but buying an app, flashing a new rom and letting it restore will put it on sdcard and then you can get a refund and it will still be there.
Wonder why it does this?

Another reservation for the future
These are the apps that I consider a MUST have for my usage:
1.)Mvideo player - infinitely better than the stock video player and can display subtitles also comes with great folder management
2.) SMS backup and restore - to back up and restore my SMS inbox when I flash to a new ROM
3.)Opera Mobile - Something thats pretty much close to the functionality of a Safari browser, puts the stock andriod browser to shame!
Other apps already mentioned like G+, flashlight app, youtube app and ect!
Titanium Backup is a must... especially for the n00bz who are always begging for non-wipe versions of roms.
Other than that:
Astro File Manager
PowerAmp
RealVNC
Screen Off and Lock (I don't like to use the physical power button)
Tasker
WiFi File Manager
Screen Filter
QuickPic
MoboPlayer
The rest is not that important, but these are mandatory for me.
This belongs in the Themes & Apps section.

I bought a lot classicals from amazon, and using that I don't have to download them.
so i was thinking to start some conversation here by listing some apps i like and having you guys list stuff you like. i want this to be mostly about like system apps replacements (music players, launchers, etc.)
to start, i use nova launcher, and i actually bought prime a couple weeks ago. amazing launcher if you've never tried it before.
for a music player, i use Omich Player (can be downloaded here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omichsoft.player)
this is a really fast, simple music player that kinda looks like the really old versions of Google Play Music, but without any of the cloud crap and it's free. unfortunately it doesn't have gapless playback for me (but anything using the android music API on ICS doesn't have gapless) and i'm not a huge fan of pirating apps on android (malware gets spread pretty easily through cracked APKs)
next up, for a file manager, i use the OI File Manager (can be downloaded here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager)
ever since i had cm7 i really liked this file manager, even though it doesn't have root permissions, but it's simply one of the best solutions out there. nice, clean interface, easy to use, open source, and it just works really well. the latest version has some UI glitches every now and then, but i hardly use it anyway so it's fine. file managers are just nice to have around, especially this one.
oh and there's also the obvious titanium backup with pro version (you need the pro version, it's seriously gimped without it)
media player: aimp got android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aimp.player
file browser:ES file explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
skin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer
video: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.pro can actually play 720p mkvs
weather Wunderground https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wunderground.android.weather THE BEST weather app ever seriously try it ..
backup: twrp recovery lol
