@tehpreist
Its fun to see what list ppl use and think is a must for rooted phones. And to look at all app posts one by one will take for ever.

You only need to read one thread for most of them hence the reason it is pinned.

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.

Hey just wanted to let everyone know Folder Organizer is free on the Amazon Market today. I posted this because its one of the best apps to be free most likely since the Flex9 Keyboard. But if anyone wants it its free today.

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.

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

You cant do that, removing system applications require root.
Depends what bloat you're talking about? There really isn't much on there to be honest.
Figured as much, I just remember when I got my One there was something like 4-5 gbs already taken up.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
You can't remove em without root, but you can disable many of them. I have about 15 apps that came pre installed that I won't use (mostly carrier crap, and stuff like Google Magazine, books, etc..)
Go to settings - > apps - > all, then select disable if it isn't grayed out...
A lot of the HTC apps can't be disabled, but whatever can is worth it
Pretty much like freezing.. You still have the apps taking space, but they won't run and will disappear from your app drawer!

i assume your talking about the 6.9ish gb that comes used up from when you first turned on the phone? that section is mostly a system partition used up by the android OS system. I'm not too versed in this but its pretty much neccessary. how large does that section have to be now that i'm not too sure. but every sense version i've ran on here custom 1.29 has pretty much the same size for that partition.
the best way without root is to disable the apps, as WolfDale7 mentioned.
Awesome, thanks for all the responses and help everybody!

And if I have root, how can I uninstall them since titanium itself doesnt?
So I search xda and couldn't find anything current.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=so i'm rooted, now what?
I just rooted my att N3 using Kingo. So now what?
I installed root checker, but that's it.
What do you folks suggest one does with a freshly root N3?
backing up?
removing bloatware?
make the powerful N3 even better?
what things have you rooting pros done with your new N3,
are there "must do" things as well?
I know some of you have really improved your stock N3, what do you suggest one do fresh after rooting?
Titanium Backup is a must for freezing and/or removing bloatware.
After that, check out Exposed Framework and Wanam, That will keep you busy for a while.
I would recommend a custom ROM

They don't say what the difference is when I click on the $6.58 version and read.
I don't wanna just blindly buy something, what do you like about the paid version?

It has a lot of capabilites but I used it for mostly freezing and backing up apps. I'm sure there's a thread around here about the app and all its capabilities.

Would you kindly PM me a recommendation, one without the dreaded KNOX crapola please?
Lots of views, few replies.
(I bet a lot of stock users are looking to this thread for reasons to root :good
Keep the ideas coming rooters, I'm ready to customize some thangs -
Spend some time and flash any ROMs that appear interesting till you find one you like. Install Xposed framework and browse through all the modules and look for anything that interests you; Wanam and App Setting are probably the 2 most popular modules and sometimes installed already on custom ROMs.

ATT Note 3 android development thread is where all the ROMs made for our phone will be.
Welcome to the community! Titanium backup pro is a must if you're going to be romming and modding you're android devices. Custom roms are definitely the way to go especially being new to android modding. There are a few really smart dudes developing great custom roms for the n9005a. They do all the work that you would want done and they're really good at it. I recommend knoxraid by @drakeymcmb. He has been involved with romming this phone since before we had a recovery to flash from. There a bunch of helpful people that follow his thread.

What does the "Pro" version give you that the free version doesn't, (can't find any info on that in the play store)
Allows you to freeze apps, and allows for automated restore operations. Well worth the money if you plan on restoring backups across multiple roms.

http://www.titaniumtrack.com/titanium-backup.html has a side by side comparison. Little less confusing than the play store pages that predominantly list the pro features.

Keep up the post-rooting tips guys, I'm gonna edit the 1st post and start listing all your suggestions :good:
What else, us newbies what to learn more.
I ran stock for a while and now I'm back in the game. What is the best for manager to use now and what is a decent place to find nodded programs? (Not asking for links for free programs?) just can't find anything anymore.

I don't understand your question... "modded programs" what does that even mean if you're not referring to pirated apps?
Pirated apps are not permitted on XDA.
I use root explorer and EFS explorer.
I also think he means modded apps such as ones you flash or sideload.
Kind of a vague question but yeah really talking about tweaks and stuff but I guess it's just a lack of development due to being a brand new device. Sorry about that
