Voice Alerts: reads SMS, GMail, Twidroid mentions/DMs, more to you. Great while driving, as you don't need to touch the phone or indulge bluetooth. A talking alert, much more useful than traditional alert sounds.

Alarmoid: set daily schedules for quieting sounds, including ringer. Then create a VIP list in google contacts (server), and add that list name to this app. Those folks will be able to ring thru, even during quiet time.

Setting Profiles: set it up to, for example, turn on your GPS when you leave the house; turn it off when you return home while also turning on your WiFi; schedule turning on one or more apps by locale and/or time. The list goes on. Learning curve, but the rewards are great for those who hang in there.

Calendar in Status Bar: square icon, reflecting day name and date number.

Bar Control: Put whatever app(s) desired in your status bar for quick access, from anywhere.

Flex Dialer Pro: pushes Google Voice calls thru Verizon network, while showing your GV number. Great for times when data connections are flaky. Recent update added exclusions list-- numbers to always/never use GV.

SMS PopUp: the only messenging client that's GV friendly. Configure button for "reply to number", and you'll aways be dumped into GV for composing your reply. You get a popup notification, while retaining GV awareness for reply purposes.

Amazon Lightning Deals Widget: Self-refreshes. Notification per deal in status bar, so you can grab sweet deals of interest. (Alternative: set up a new twitter account and follow @AmazonDeals only. Use one of the freebie twitter clients to push sound notifications to you.)

List Plus: super-easy config to set by location. Uniquely allows multiple locales per item. (Example: Grocery items. Type in WalMart, & get a list of nearby stores; ditto Food Lion. Tap the local stores you are likely to frequent. Two locations will be added: Walmart & Food Lion, covering all branch stores you selected.)

ToDo Q: like List Plus, only more of the traditional to-do styling. Most delightfully attentive dev I've encountered to date. Think of it as a dressed up Astrid with built-in Locale-like functionality. gCal friendly.

dxTop home replacement: Replaces several apps. Customize icons, even folders; screenshot home screens; 5-icon customizable app dock; task monitor/killer; apps organizer via categories within app drawer-- you can also add related folders to your desktop.

MoreIcons Widget: Make better use of the premium screen space.

Note Everything Pro: voice/text notes optionally in the status bar and/or with sound/timed alarms; encrypted notes; toss checklists, etc to gCal

Calendar Add Event: *quickly* add items to your preferred gCal

Calendar Pad Pro: better UI for stock cal

HiFi MP3 & OGG Audio Recorder: Create your own voice alerts, usable with any app accepting ringtones as alarm (freebie Rings Extended adds this capability to all apps)

Listables: creates a linked list of all your installed apps; one tap takes you to the app's Market page

Screebl: profoundly intelligent screen on/off automation, saving battery life
