My current favs are

LauncherPro
I go into preferences and change my dock to "Froyo Wide" then change all icons so they are in color. I also limit to 3 homescreens (all i need). Then i go into general settings under Hidden Apps, and i hide all the nonsense i will never even use, but cant/wont uninstall. Then i increase the speed of everything to max, so it snaps

PowerAmp
Great 2 week trial, then i think $5? Best money i have spent! I love this as a replacement to the stock music app.

Oh!Pics (NSFW!!)
One of those sexy girl apps, but this one is pretty decent! Lets you zoom in or save. Also if there are 15 pics of one girl, you can hit the BACKWARD button to skip right to the good stuff hehe.

NewsRob
Great reader for google reader. I know they have their own reader now, but im so used to this one! Allows full offline syncing, great for me since i read most underground in the subway. Also can sync once every 6 hours or something to save battery, and only when on wifi

Gem Miner; Dig Deeper
Addicting game where you dig through a cave to find gems! Discovering new sections of the cave as you go. Risk running out of breath, or having rocks fall on you if you dont put a post under them quick enough. Free version also available

Flashlight
I made fun of them for adding such a stupid app onto the phone, but i must say this thing has saved my ass multiple times!!


Mangler
Anyone play warcraft, or other games where people talk on Ventrilo? This app makes it easy to connect and talk from your phone. Awesome!

Smart Keyboard Pro
I love the Android keyboard it offers, with no "ALT KEYS" on top of each key. This makes a beautiful keyboard.

Handcent SMS
Im not a fan of the stock look of SMS on the Android. With Handcent it allows me to give it that "bubble" look similar to the iphone, but then customize it even more. And i cannot believe its free!

Y5
Uses no battery. Manages my wifi for me! Remembers wifi locations against cell towers, and knows when to turn on/off my wifi without me even thinking about it

JuiceDefender Beta
I bought the pro version, but i like the Beta version better! Just install it, enable it, and dont touch a single setting! It always seems to make a HUGE impact on my battery life.

I also love ScoreMobile because I am a sports junkie. I also love the NFL Mobile app, along with TuneIn Radio and doubleTwist media player.

Check Appbrain and read this very subforum. If you really want them there are plenty of app recommendation and top apps threads.
