Some more apps which I have used, and found worth mentioning :)
Flashlight-X http://www.windowsphone.com/en-IN/apps/2638b778-5eab-45f1-a511-a08e1dbde751 nice app to use phone flash as torch. Now it also has compass which shows direction on top side of screen
Tube Pro http://www.windowsphone.com/en-IN/apps/558b56d7-1318-4cad-acdd-bd673e06655f earlier known as Supertube. Its Youtube client which also allows downloading Youtube videos. But I havent found option to transfer downloaded video in phone or to Computer, as downloaded videos are only accessible through TubePro app only.
 
have never used a wp device so cannot say. but from what i understand, having shortcuts to apps on the homescreen means you have to tile them and these tiles are live in nature. maybe they could be made 'dead'. no idea really.

anyone here using a wp device would be able to help!

same is the problem with metro ui on windows 8 and windows rt. if you have tiles for photos and email accounts, they are going to be right there on the homescreen!
I have few tiles which are live and change as below-
People Tile - it just keep changing photos of contacts (1/9 or 1/4 size of tile) in various transtion effect.
"Me" Tile - Displays My Profile picture and notification for any Facebook comments if any.
Phone Tile - displays number of missed call if any (otherwise static tile).
Messeging tile - displays number of unread sms (otherwise static tile).
Email Tiles - For Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook, it would display number of unread mails (otherwise static tile).
Accuweather Tile - display current temperature and weather (like Sunny, Cloudy, rainy by graphics)
Marketplace Tile - displays number of apps update available (otherwise static tile).
Picture Tile - displays pictures Thumbnails, but we can select static picture and stop transition of all pictures.
Music and Videos Tile - Its static tile.
Calendar Tile - Static tile, displays events like Birthdays if added in Calendar of Windows Live (also from Facebook, Google Calendar if configured).

There are many apps like Twitter, Whatsapp, Cricinfo, NDTV, IM+ which could show notification on Tiles if enabled, or we can have them static as well by disabling "Live Tiles" from their setting. But I dont use any of this on my home screen :)
Any of above mentioned Tiles can be deleted from Home Screen I guess. (but I never tried deleting all Tiles).
