After playing with the Droid for a while I had listed out my favorite apps, and I stand by those being decent choices, but after several rom switches and more day-to-day use (as opposed to "it's so new and shiny" use), here's a more relevant list of android apps.. those that I bother to reinstall when rom jumping.
Astro File Manager: Still the most versatile and powerful GUI for android file management.
Orbot: Tor client for the android platform, requires root and a kernel that supports the iptables "match" target. (On that note, verified that the
bekit kernels for CM on the droid do support Orbot, works like a charm). You can get orbot from
The Guardian Project.
Sesmic: Twitter client with a ton of useful features and notification controls, I converted a while back.
ROM Manager: Obviously, allows for hassle free rom flashing, kernel changes, and OTA rom updates. Pay for it.
G1 IM: Hard to find when it's not built into a rom, it's the best IM client for android around.
Amazon MP3: Sometimes I just really enjoy picking up a new album on demand, amazons prices are reasonable and it's all drm free. (warning: enabling one click purchasing requires significant impulse control)
Google News and Weather: This comes with most roms since it's one of the most demanded apps around, it gives you... news, and weather reports, neat.
