What apps do you guys like the best? Which one are the most used and most useful?
Here are mine.
Allcast since I cant mirror my videos or photos on my Samsung and LG smart tvs I found this app very useful. Premium version is £3 and there is no limit video lengths.
Amazon App Store gives a paid app for free everyday. Some can find them quite rubbish some can find them quite useful and occasionally they do free apps weekend where I have downloaded very good apps such as Shazam encore, Officesuite Pro 7, Tunein Radio Pro, Runtastic Pro, Sketchbook Pro, Swype Keyboard, The Chase (game) etc.
App of the Day is giving a paid app for free daily too.
Hotukdeals is an app is your access to deals, voucher codes, freebies and savings right on your mobile device. Never pay retail price again.
Dolphin Browser or Mozilla Firefox are good browsers where you can play flash videos by downloading Adobe Flash Player for KitKat 4.4.2.
Adblock Plus for Android is good for blocking ads but not as good as Adfree. If you are rooted I would recommend using Adfree.
Here is a list of my top 50 (in alphabetical order):
One that comes to mind is Hushed for when I run out of minutes or service and I want to cheaply call people.

Is there a free office app that anyone has gotten to work on the g tablet yet that will allow you to open and edit MS office docs?
Documents to Go. I used 2.0 from the apk but 3.0 installed fine after I got market working.
That's not free to edit docs, though.

Docs
A decent set of applications for editing documents is what we really need. It is probably the most important thing to me. Until there is a application that rivals iwork on the ipad it will always have a one up with people that need the productivity applications.
Google docs is working OK, and it is free, but still not great.
doesn't quickoffice work on the gtab? I believe it was in the tntlite/gapps apk. might want to give that one a try. I was hoping it did, but have not downloaded or installed it yet.
IIRC it's still only a viewer. You can buy QuickOffice or a comparable app for $10-$15 on the Market. But they are designed for phones and do not take advantage of screen real estate (e.g. no toolbars, etc.).
Not sure if it works on the G Tablet since I did not get mine yet to mess around with it yet but I know Google Docs is just a free website and you can edit all types of office program documents. May just have to maybe use the browser and go to docs.google.com
Take a look at 'goodintentions' site. He has a link to Quick Office HD which is MS Office compatible.

Quickoffice HD is very good if you are running one of the Honeycomb varients. Otherwise the standard Quickoffice Pro is pretty good as well. No, they are not free, but you get what you pay for...
BTW - you have to purchase "Pages, "Numbers," and "Keynote" seperately on the iPad to the tune of $10 each. With that in mind Quickoffice is a bargain.
Honestly, I've found that the free Olive Office Premium works better for some uses than even some of the non-free office apps. I've used it on my G Tab with Thumb Keyboard, and it's pretty decent. Like I said, sometimes I use it even over the office suites I purchased, namely Quick Office and Documents to Go.
It's simply stupid that there is no port of Open Office to Android. There's no reason for it as far as I can tell.
Thanks for the tip, scyld. I still prefer QuickOffice, but this looks as good as it gets for free.
By the way- it seems to work fine using the Adam keyboard found elswhere on this board.

Actually, the quickoffice HD available on my site works wonderfully on the gtab froyo and ginger roms. I just used it to type out a very long letter to religious leaders.
Is it legal to distribute that (Quickoffice HD)? I just shelled out $20 for my copy (worth every penny).
The one I'm hosting is pulled from the NI adam tablet. It's a tablet oriented qoffice.
I'm trying out that QuickOffice HD from the site on the Flashback HC ROM and it force quits whenever I try to either open a file or browse for one.

There are two varients of QuickOffice HD. The version NI Adam version is ok for all ROMs (I think), but the purchase version is dubbed HD Pro and is only usable on HoneyComb and is slightly different than the standard HD version. I'll try and post screenshots later.
Does anyone can provide me any link to download Shazam encore for NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.2?
hmm... buy it??
here you go

buy soundhound, its better in my opinion. when you grab a song you get album art, youtube links, lyrics, amazon links to buy it, great stuff.

I agree. Soundhound is much better than Shazam.
Soundhound all the way. takes less time to identify a song too. rougly 4 secs
I've never heard of this Soundhound before this i thought Shazam was one of a kind, ive paid for Shazam and all and more often than not it has come up trumps, i see the paid version of Soundhound is €3.65, i might try the free version first.
Asking for paid applications is silly...
In case anyone is interested, amazon.com has a Android AppStore now. The one cool thing about it is they have a ton of FREE apps that are not free on the Android Market. They also offer 1 free (paid) app a day. Meaning they will make 1 decent paid app available every day for free.
Cheers
I was wondering if anybody has any suggestion for Bible app that can have the content stored locally? (not dependent on wifi)
Thanks in advance.
Ebook
Get it in ebook form and install a reader (FBreader etc...).
Simple enough, just takes a little critical thinking.
Get the youversion bible from the market. They allow you to download certain bibles. It'll be by LifeChurch.tv

I use OliveTree. Very good app. olivetree . com
I use youversion as well. Haven't tried others, but YV is pretty good.
Youversion works well.
You might also want to look at MySword at mysword.info a free bible reader program.
I use youversion as well. You can download different versions locally.

and-bible
I looked at the features of some of them, tried a few of them, and kept "and-bible". It is free in the market and from the developers website (google for and-bible). Lots of "modules" like bible translations, commentaries, lexicons, etc are available from crosswire dot org under The Sword Project > Module Add Ins. The same modules can be used in readers for Android, Windows, Mac, etc.

The resources available on OT are absolutely unmatched, but they do get expensive. I dropped over $100 a couple of weeks ago (and that was with 50% off with promo codes) on a few study tools. They are supposed to be updating the app soon, so it will more closely resemble the UI of the iOS app.
If all you need is a Bible, Youversion is pretty good. The official ESV app is pretty good as well (I am partial to the ESV myself). For free, And Bible is the best app I have found. It includes a few old commentaries (Matthew Henry, Luther, etc) and Strong's numbers on the KJV, which are really handy.
I also use YouVersion. There are a huge number of different translations/paraphrases, and lots of them can be downloaded to your device for free (I have 5 or 6 resident on my phone and tablet). The "pay-for" version are not that expensive, and every once in a while they'll *give* registered (free membership with no catches) users a paid bible for free. A few months back they gave away the New Living Translation.

I bought the kfhd primarily for free books and overall tablet goodness.
Anyone know of any good school apps? I'm personally looking for one with the ability to drawn on and edit pdfs. Also a better keyboard, but that's not happening any time soon...
I use my kindle for class. If you root it, you can install OneNote from the play store. I couldn't get sync to work before rooting, but now it's wonderful.
I would recommend installing Swype or your choice of a faster typing method, or even buying the (expensive) Bluetooth keyboard. I bought the stylus recommended by Amazon and it has definitely sped up my swyping. It also helps keep my screen clean.
I also purchased the foxit keyboard app, which I think is even available in the Amazon store for a couple of bucks. They make my favorite desktop application for reading pdfs, so I thought I'd give their app a shot. It seems to work pretty well, and syncs notes and color scribbles with desktop version, but I haven't played around with it much yet.
Good luck!
