Root Only Apps

- The best thing about rooting is the new apps you can get! When you open these apps they will "Request SuperUser Access". If you know what the app is then you should allow it. Below first is a screenshot of the request, then the apps you allow.

  Wireless Tether

  Tethering, otherwise known as hotspot is sending out wi-fi usings your phones internet connection. For most carriers, this costs extra. Once you root, however this app can do it for free.

  You can get it in the market, or download the source code by from google code. ("http://www.google.com/android"). Its simple, tap to tether. For some reason, this app makes your phone physically hot. So there is a tempature monitorer in the upper left.

  By tapping menu you can also see features such as access control, so you can control who is on your Wi-Fi. You can also change your SSID and use a WEP password.

  Root Explorer

  A great advantage about being rooted is being able to have root permissions. This is why it is called "rooting". This also means you can access every single file on your device. If you have heard of Astro, then you will know the basics of this app. You can now look at every single file, edit the permissions, and move them around.

  You can get this app in the market, it is paid, but well worth it.

  Terminal Emulator

  This is very useful for users who need to run linux commands. Although not for the average user, it can be very usefull, like when when removing unwanted system apps.

  SetCPU

  SetCPU is also not for the average user. You can use it to overclock your proccessor. For example the factory speed of the Evo 4G is 1GHZ, but it can be overclocked to 1.25 GHZ.

  Not only can you overclock, but you can also set different speeds for the times of day, or week. Deppeding on the speed you need. This app is free.

  Unistaller for Root

  Sick of those annoying pre-loaded apps? Me too. These are one of the few downsides of android, because you can usually not remove them. Some examples are Sprint Football, or Verizion VCast.

  This app can remove all apps, it is easier than using the settings.

  ShootMe

  Wierd name right? I think so too. This is a simple and easy way to take screenshots. I used it for the screenshots in this app. Download from the market, open and accept. To take a screenshot shake your device! You can kill this with a third party task manager.

  All Levels for Angry Birds

  Alright, I know this isn't that great, but a lot of people do play angry birds! Re-install angry birds, beat the first level, then run this app. Now you will have all the levels! It only completes the level on one star, so you can try for a higher score.

  This app can be downloaded from AppBrain for free.
