I figured it would be wise to stop spamming the "What games are you currently playing?" thread, and just keep this topic in here :

Post your favorite apps and such, maybe it will be useful for other people as well.

One of my favorites is CamCard, scans and imports data from business cards directly into its own database, the phone contact list, and/or Gmail contact list. It's the best out of all the business card scanners I've tried.

I've compared Fruit Ninja and Fruit Slice on the Android OS and I like Fruit Slice better. Not as cute as Fruit Ninja, but I really like the different modes that come with the game. I'm totally a pro at the Pipeline mode. The thing that makes it better than Fruit Ninja is the fact that it doesn't lag and the graphics run better. But that's from my experience.

I'm still looking into more apps to get, but then at the same time I guess I should put a cap on the battery draining things I have on my phone. Too many temptations...

For those of you T-Mobile Galaxy S II users on here, we can now upgrade to Android version 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich via Kies Air's desktop client.

Games: Grave defense HD, Monopoly, Contract Killer (prefer this one than the zombie version.)

Do you guys actually use task killers? I heard good and bad things about them.

Using a Galaxy S3 at the moment and while its a great phone the battery life is just not up to par.

Kelvin: For me ATK made my phone worse with lagging and slow downs.

Task killers are garbage, they cause more problems than they solve, and unless you've still got every piece of factory bloatware running in the background, they'll use more power than the rest of everything else combined while your phone idles.

Honestly, the ONLY solution to a perfect Android experience is to root the phone and flash a well-supported stable aftermarket ROM.

In my case, Cyanogenmod.

I was running CM7 (2.3.4 Froyo) on my phone for the longest time, specifically CM7.0RC2, which has been out of date for some time. CM7.2Stable has been out for months, and I'd just been too lazy to upgrade.

Well, there's an unofficial RC2 for CM9 out now, based on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and I finally bit the bullet and went for it. Updated the radio and libraries, the GPS, backed everything up, and flashed the new OS. It's a bit slow, but I'll be futzing around with it to see what I can get it to do before I decide whether I'm keeping it or reverting to CM7.

Just picked up a Galaxy SIII from AT&T as the new phone for my sister. I can dig the size. It's about the same as my SII but the new HOME button looks quite silly, or maybe I'm just biased. The shortcuts on the lock screen are really convenient though. The battery life seems fine if you just leave it laying around and it lasts almost as long as my SII with mild app and internet use. So no complaints as of yet. I'm still loving my SII though so yes.
