Just rooted, Now what?

This is the first time I have ever been near or used an Android phone. I got my i9000 a few days ago and have started messing about with widgets etc. I have been reading this forum for a few months prior to owning an Android phone as technology interests me. I was following a home screen thread and realized I had to root my Galaxy S to be able to take screenshots. Then I found the One Click Lag Fix app that was on the Android market. The lag was something that was really bothering me and now its running really smooth.
So now I have root what else should I do to my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

A couple apps I use that need root access: mybackup pro and root explorer.
Have fun

I'll be sure to check them out. Anyone else?

This is what I thought too. Apart from backing up to the average user, there doesn't seem to be a lot to do!

Flash roms, overclock cpu, clear app caches. Modify system apps (eg make browser fullscreen).
Anything really.

Clocksync - if cell-network time sync sucks.
MarketAccess - if you can't purchase apps on market
Autokiller or Minfree manager - to keep memory tidy (less necessary on the most recent firmwares)
Screenshot - should be obvious.

Im sticking to stock for now, see no reason to switch. I mostly mix/mash stuff from other roms if i like. But yea i just got my vibrant few days back so i don't know wht roms are available/good. There was this thread however, look for "best firmware" i believe it was called.

Okay thanks for the tips everyone

There are usefull programs once u have root.The sound booster is one of them u can find it in this dev section

Is it really that great? Can't you perform some of the same functions in Root Explorer or any other root file mgmt type apps? Just curious. I may take advantage of it being free.

If you don't have this app get it. One of my favorites. Period.
P.s. You should add the app name to thread title.

yeah I was wondering the same =P

It is not a file manage. It is a well made folder/app organizer. Allows custom icons and skins for folders and apps.

RomFetcher: Classic app

Anyone have this apk? I paid for it, did a factory reset when I sent it off for the 4g upgrade now this app has been removed from the market which is BS cuz I can't redown load it. Am I just SOL on this?? I liked this app

It wouldn't work. The server for downloading the roms is defunct. I have the apk from an old version of snesoid and it doesn't connect.

google rom downloads. I can think of at least 4 extremely popular sites off the top of my head.

What patass said.
I know it's inconvenient to not be able to use a native android app to download them directly to your XOOM, but I've found that it's actually better for keeping the ROMs backed up in folders on my computer. That way when I have to wipe my XOOM for whatever reason, I can just push the ROMs folder with everything in it to my SD card.

Can someone upload their ROMs to Dropbox and share?

How do I come about doing this?? Do I need a app to back up my apps to the comp??
Thank you BLAQK ROXSTAR

roms arent apps, they're just super tiny files.

Huh? What the heck?

...roms arent apps. they're images ripped from game cartidges. Images ripped from game CD's would be called iso's. rom's have been around and people have been playing genesis games and all that on their pc's since the mid 90's.

[Q] Cant do an actual /real Multitask

I am using Xperia SP (Indian version) C5302 Build No. 12.0.A.1.1211 Didnt update so far.
My problem is that the multitask feature is kinda like the old iPhones. When i switch apps, the previous app is terminated or loads from beginning.
For example.
I was surfing facebook from Chrome browser. I received a text. I checked my txt, replied, and when i switched back to Chrome browser the webpage started loading afresh. Is ONE webpage of Facebook too much for the "last year flagship defeater"???
While playing games,like Little Empire (online game) i was referring to online guide. So i switched to Chrome browser to see the instructions on how to defeat a boss stage. When i switched back to Little Empire the app booted from beginning. I mean wtf!! How am i supposed to refer to guides if the moment i minimize the game it switches off.
The phone has 1 GB RAM. What is the point of multitasking when apps dont really multitask. The moment u minimise its gone.
Now this doesnt happen all the time.
When i play Need For Speed Most Wanted, a game which is pretty demanding, it never closes. Even after i switch back to this game after texting , it resumes from pause menu.
Is there a way to make my phone multitask?

Some games don't work well with multitask, such as that random game you posted. Chrome is known to be ram intensive, and probably the only browser that causes launcher redraw. Use firefox instead.
If you don't like your phone, get something else...

I'm sorry bro but there's no way. The. Fact is that not our phone but android doesn't do full multitasking. Android keeps a program in memory only if the program demands it to. But even then it closes the program if another resource hogging program is loaded.

I was just wondering if converting a app into a System App might help. (And restart the phone)
For a game it is not very useful because it will be loaded at boot but for a Launcher it might help
that a third party launcher is less often redrawn. I think Android will kill non system apps first so the Launcher might stay in your ram longer.
Please correct me if I'm completely mistaken

In the free RAM 200M can not be used because the Sony locked
So always because of insufficient RAM to kill other processes
The pre allocated ram is used by debug file system, logger, camera pmem etc you can't change it unless you have custom kernel

Use "Greenify" for stop selected user app to running in background (facebook, maps...) and "Autokiller Memory Optimizer" to change minfree value (lmk). So instead to kill apps when your RAM goes under 200Mo, you can change the value to 50Mo. It's a great tool !
ROOT needed for these 2 apps

So what is the total and the free ram? By default, how much free ram is available?

Use "Moderate" or "System Default".
In fact "System Default" is stock LMK of Android, not stock LMK of your phone.

Tried it but didn't worked. It delays a little the closing but the app closing comes anyway.

Maybe 1 GB isn't really enough. Sad that ZR won't be sold in SG,

X.x isn't it obvious there is Singapore word under my forum id?

Once I had the same problem with Galaxy S3 too, but I was rooted it installed busybox PRO and RAM Manager PRO, and in RAM manager I choosed hard multtiasking, and voila no more problems with redraws, and I even tried to keep opened NFS Most Wanted, and to open some more apps, and I found everything what I left,so 1GB isn't too little, it's Android memory management problem I think.
And also delete bloatware,because some sh*t is memory hungry and can cause this problem too

Man, have u tried enabling Swap? If you have, is there any significant improvement in performance? There's a caution in the software that Swap will make my SD card degrade. I'm so confused with this
