I started with zeam, moved to lpp because of those Widgets and eventually widget customization, realized Widgets can do crazy damage to battery life and looked for something else. It was between go and adw and I have used both thoroughly, in my opinion go just felt and looked a little cheaper, not that it is any less functional, just didn't feel quite right. Idk

ADW really annoys me - no Notifications button in the menu. I really like LauncherPro - highly configurable, seems to handle TiBu restores better than ADW.

Phonelocator Pro

I was working out in the gym and I stupidly put my phone in the cup holder and left it there. Went on to do some weights and realized I left it on the tread mill. I ran back trying to figure out which one it was in. I quickly set the phone into stealth GPS mode to text my friends phone the coordinates (by accident I sent the wrong command but it was cool to see it work...I knew the phone was in the gym). I then set it to remote lock and turn it off vibrate to max volume and started screeching at the front counter. Voila someone turned it in there...great app!!!

Corey,

I agree very cool, first time I printed the pattern out and loaded an object it was unreal. A rubics cube floating and touchable turntable etc. Definite potential, an app I have been getting some use out of lately is (Ionroad) with a car mount its awesome if you like augment reality stuff that app is also killer and is honestly equal or better with all the new updates than the couple grand option in the car

After having my samsung galaxy s2 for almost 5 months. These are the apps I occasionally use everyday:

1. opera

Constant updates. I like how the tabs are close to the thumbs. it is easy to navigate.

2.google navigation, Car home ultra and spotify

i use these apps to turn my phone into a music player and gps device. I currently have Sony MEXBT3900U In-Dash with built in mic and bluetooth and akon car mount.

Google Navigation-- point to point directions being played through my car speakers

Spotify--using my premium account. i listen to my music via bluetooth. they have offline mode where I don't need data to play music. sound quality does not lose its quality.

car home ultra---awesome car dock. pretty huge icons. Makes driving safer. includes weather, speedometer,and location. automatically syncs my phone with my car deck. A must have if you use a car moount.

3. handcent-customizable messaging app

4.facebook

5. yelp. Use it all the time when i want to eat out.

6.edomondo pro- awesome running app.

7. last call widget only widget i constantly use.

8. im+ i like this multi chat program. IMO is good as well.

9. my coffe card pro. Recommended if you go starbucks often.

10. tapatalk favorite forum app

Thanks for sharing guys :-) Keep em coming.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fajhaj:
Here's my list of applications :

1) XDA /tapatalk

2) "CamScanner" is a free app that allows you to take a photo of virtually anything and convert it to PDF format. You can also fax this document or email it directly from your phone!!!

3) "Go EX launcher "

4) "Swype" keyword

5) "WidgetLocker" -allows you to customize your lockscreen however you want. The best app that I have ever used so far!

6) "Android Lost"- great app to track your lost smartphone. Notifies you if a new Sim card was installed, shows location of your phone, also lets you to send text messages to your phone, wipe the data or lock the phone and all that can be done by using developer's website.

7) "Longman dictionary" of Contemporary English -great dictionary with clear and easy to understand definitions that also can pronounce a word for you. It is better than Oxford dictionary of English in my opinion.

8) "Chomp sms" - (Android version of bitesms for iPhone) free app that allows you to send scheduled SMS. Basically, you can schedule a time at which you want your SMS to be sent out/delivered to the recipient.

9) "WhatsApp Messenger" -cross platform messenger that allows you to send and receive sms using your wi fi or data package within the whatsapp messenger users

10) "HUB" by Yahoo -new app that allows you to send SMS for free to any US,Canada, Malaysia and other countries recipients. What is great about this app is that your recipients dont need to have a HUB app on their phones in order to get the text messages from you!

11) "Runtastic" is a great app to keep yourself in shape no matter what type of sport activities you enjoy. It has a GPS tracker, burned calories indicator, heartbeat indicator and many other great features. It is the best app that I used for jogging and cycling.

12) "Tunein Radio" is an app that lets you listen to the radio stations from other countries. One of the best radio apps that are currently available on the Market.

13) "Evernote" is an application that allows you to create a note either by typing, shooting a photo or recording an audio. All of your notes get synchronized/uploaded to cloud and are immediately available on your other devices such as Mac, PC or iPhone. You can also email your note to other people or share a note by providing them with a link to your note. Best note app so far. Comes in very handy while on the go.

And you are very welcome ;-)

My must have apps are the ones that come with the phone ;)

I don't use social networks, I don't play games, I just use the phone hahaha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Masamushia:
So, I found a ton of apps that I thought were useful in this thread, so it's only fair if I shared some of my own that I don't see listed.

No real order in "OMG MUST HAVE" to "It's pretty neat."

CPU Spy (Free)- Useful in seeing what states your phone is using and how often your phone is asleep.

BetterBatteryStats (Free on XDA, 2$ I think on market.) - Useful for seeing what is keeping your phone from entering a deep sleep and to see what is waking your phone up from a deep sleep. Useful for helping your battery life!

JKay Deluxe Settings - Best mod ever. Gives you a ton of CM7-esque options to configure your phone the way YOU want it.

GetJar (free) - Similar to amazon appstore, except they have a TON of free apps that change perweek. You have to go to their set to get the app though.

GrooVe IP (4$, I think.) - VPN caller, I do love me some free calls from my phone. There is a bit of delay that can be vary on your connection. It ranges from no delay to 3 seconds, can be quite irritating but it beats the heck out of paying for minutes.

Mint.com (Free, both the service and app ) - Personal finance app, just brings the web client to your phone and lets you keep track of your purchases, investments, bank accounts, credit cards, etc. Nifty!

MX Video Player (free) - Amazing video player app, I love it, quite customizable.

No Moar Powah! (Free) - Developed on our lovely forum and compatable with the SGSII family! Installs drivers onto your phone that allow the app to turn off your phone and charge it. But it will turn the phone back on at a certain charge percentage, or even at a certain time. INCREDIBLY cool app, in my opinion.

Onavo (Free) - Mobile Data monitor app.

SemiSilent (Free) - Allows you customize the volume settings of certain contacts when they call. (For example, I have friends on silent during the night, but work and family will blare at full volume if they call.)

Shush! (Free) - When you turn your phone on vibrate, it will ask you how long you want to silence the phone. Useful for me cuz I always forget to take my phone off silent mode.

SMS Backup+ (Free) - Uploads your SMS texts and or call log to your Gmail account.

Urbanspoon (Free) - Like Yelp, but in my opinion FAR better. Has waaaay more options, restaurants and locations.

That's it! Hope someone finds this list useful!

llama(free) - similar to tasker and locale but does not use gps for location based actions. instead it uses cell towers which is not as precise but it saves battery. before, I was using timeriffic and automateit and this one app replaced both. can also use locale add-ins if needed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Xander_25:
I use the following:

N7Player - Currently in beta stage, full release will be paid. Working really great so far, better than stock or google music which has no equalizer (imo)

Barcode Scanner (Zxhing) - For testing QR Codes when I put them into clients' biz cards, or for a page url when chrome to phone gets flaky

Bible app - Gotta read the word man!! :D

Any.DO - Coolest organizer I've ever used

SwiftKey X - Best android keyboard, better than Swype or anything else I've used (imo)

Cerberus - Anti-theft app. They had a promo on their G+ where if you dl the app, created an account and then followed a link in their post to enter your account info, you'd get a free lifetime licence at the end of the promo (March 1st). Activated and works great so far.

SugarSync - Alternative to dropbox. Works for me.

Cloud print - For printing to printers anywhere whether at work or home

Bump - Cause it's a fun way to share and transfer contact info and pics, and works across platforms.

Google + - Cause FB is crap

Google Goggles - for unknown pics and if I see a cool wallpaper and want the source

HyperJump - Cause its an addictive game

Samurai II - Vengeance - Another cool game, hack and slash samurais and ninjas

JuiceDefender Ultimate - A battery saving app. I don't know if it really works :confused:, cause I'm a flashahloic!!:D

Angry Birds (All of them) - Why not? Slinging birds at pigs is fun.

Think that's it for now... If I come across anymore, I'll post again.

Easy Battery Saver

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
I've played with a couple but IMO it's managing the phone yourself.

Root it and with a combination of betterbatterystats, cpuspy, and autostarts you can see what's eating your battery, how much work your phone is doing during the day, and disable pointless things from starting up in certain scenarios.

Using all 3 of those I've gotten to a typical 1-2% drain per hour on battery at idle. :)

Hey guys, our own GSLEON3 has just started working with EvilDevnull. Evil has a pretty good track record with being able to exploit devices, so I think we might be in luck. However, EvilDevnull was banned from XDA for reasons I won't go into. So please, do not link his site, but you are allowed to link his twitter. TO FIND HIS SITE, google "s-off think tank" and you will find his forum with his name in the url. Register with the forum and you are in. Recently, Evil was only working on the HTC Rezound but GSLEON3 was able to get him to add a Vivid section on the forum since the two devices are so alike. So check in on the Vivid or Rezound sub forums to see what's going on. This thread is for root discussion only, please do not start drama about Evil or you may face the consequences with a mod.

It will flow through all the basic colors as it drains. Should work on stock rom, but until anyone else confirms, I am using Sense 3.0\QS1.5.1 framework.
