What add-on are must have for N1 ?

My first Android phone - a giant leap from Windows Mobile HTC Diamond. What mods and apps should I add ? I suspect rooting will be the first one.
Thanks for your help.

You should unblock bootloader and root, install recovery amon ra is best possible, then flash cyanogenmod latest nightly, it haz 1.113ghz processor, 720p video, fm radio, adw launche and nice themes. Any app to sd, And lots of more!
Then install setcpu application, for processor you can make some profiles. And then install angrybirds its free for android. But notice dont play without scaling preformance and 1.113 when iphone user is nearby he must not see weakness of our device. Also install algeo graphic calculator.

Yelp, Urban Spoon, Barcode Scanner, Angry Birds, most of the google apps (inc. google sky map), N1 Torch, Titanium Backup, Pandora, Slacker Radio, Y! Radio, AIM (if you need it)...
I'm sure there's more - Just surf the market place...

My essential apps:
- quick settings
- launcherpro
- dolphin HD browser
- shazam
- gbcoid
- wiimote controller
- battery indicator

Get AppBrain and also visit their website. It's a good supplement to the Android Market. You can find tons of recommended apps.

Thank you all for your useful replies. Much appreciated !

You can get root without unlocking the bootloader as that voids warranty.
with root is the assumption of a custom ROM, cyanogen is a nice place to start
Dolphin HD

Your 'must have' apps

Which apps can you simply not live without? Every time you do a data wipe, you go straight to the Market, or your .apk collection and put these straight back on... what are they?

Titanium Backup, beyond all doubt.

Smart Keyboard, Convertpad, RealCalc, ColorDict are utils I use most often, so that's what I install AFTER Titanium Backup PRO and SetCPU (once my phone's rooted, of course).

2. Splashtop Remote
3. ADW Ex Launcher.
I need a backup and restore app but Titanium Backup seems to seriously mess with my phone. It interfered with my Nandroid backup(?) I've had to wipe my phone and reinstall every app I can remember. :/
Same with MyBackup Pro, just says error half way through backup even with sufficient space.

Am also thinking of freezing -VpnDialogs- but will wait, not shure what it does. Also I welcome all comments and explanation on some of the apps and what they do. I'm a noob at this just figured I try something and see what happens. Also as I already mentioned so far so good everything is running OK fast n smooth. Just thought I put this out for other noobs that are holding back from flashing new ROMs , this is an alternative no deleting just freezing.

When you freeze the apps it means you disable it right? since some of the apps are essential like the camera, or accessing google+

Thanks, this has reminded me to freeze some more on mine.

Yes freezing disables it (basically blocks it from doing anything) in fact at the moment they are just taking up space, but didn't want to uninstall or delete anything until I tested the tab for a week see how it handles and if there are any arising problems because of them being frozen.
As I mentioned I use -Camera ICS- so I will be deleting the Camera app that came with the tab. Also what ever app you don't use I recommend freezing or deleting. Freezing apps you don't use on daily basis and just deleting the ones you don't use at all
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app

I did something similar with my 3113 last night. I used a list that I found in another thread though that's in xls format.
I have a question though. I installed Steam through the play store. At login, all I get is a 2 tone gray / black screen. Is anyone aware of any of these apps possibly having an effect on the steam app or connectivity? I googled the problem, and I'm not the only person to have this happen. However, it wasn't just with this tab and the problem seems rare.

You can disabke many more...
Like Google maps as it starts it service it background and eats ram....
Also you can disable Samsung cloud adapters,calander,contacts synchronization app and many more...as I am currently on cyanogen mod so do not have list of all apps...
You can ask for apps which u have doubt in.....

Be careful not to load any games on that tab, they eat a lot of memory,

Autostarts is an awesome program to keep apps from starting. Also rom toolbox has a startup feature in it.

Meh. I've installed quite a few apps, including some games, and still showing about 3gb free. Going to try the internal to external sd swap once I get my ROM slimmed down as much as possible, backed up, wiped and reflashed. If you're having storage space issues, check out the swap - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961097

That script works really well, it is also why i'm not moving past 4.1.2, it doesn't work on versions beyond that, because of the storage structure( multi-user ability maybe?), or something.
I agree with the op. Even on my favorite ROMs, which have less bloat than stock, I need to freeze apps in order to free up ram.

I haven't flashed a new rom yet, nor have I tried the sd swap trick / script. Got my gf an 8gb sd card today for her to use for movies on a road trip in a week. When she gets back, I'm going to switch her for my 4gb and then try the swap.
