Which Android apps to install?

[Mr Badger]

If there is already a thread about this please direct me to it.

Anyway, if you were starting from scratch which apps would you install on Android smartphone to cover all the usual activities?

I've found a few lists:

However there are still a lot to choose from!

City Mapper
Feedly - I do like Press more but its not free
Inbox
Swiftkey
VLC - Most other media players miss some codecs
Wunderlist

Here are some apps that I use, I've left out stuff like social apps so you likely have those covered.

Off the top of my head, my essentials on any fresh device would be:

Nova Launcher

Palabre
Es File Explorer
Trigger
Tasker
Poweramp
LMT
Quickpic

I much prefer Solid Explorer over ES File Explorer. It's a far more-polished app.
