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

Umm...I highly doubt it. It is just a launcher. If you want Samsung apps and a samsung UI why not get the Vibrant or SGS4g?

I have no clue what qwerty remocon is, but the Nexus S should have the same DLNA compatibility as any other SGS phone so its just a matter of finding an app or modifying AllShare to work on the SNS

That is most likely true and it sounds like you need a TouchWiz phone :/

I like this phone much better than my former vibrant. I only asked because those galaxy variants have some great features. None would be worth going back to touchwiz proper and rfs and lag fixes, etc. Still, getting some hacked touchwiz framework to allow the installation of those great codecs and some of the apps another poster listed would be the best of both worlds, especially since this phone has MOST of the same hardware.

Also +1 (Just got my nexus s as the galaxy tab persuaded me to replace my n900 ^^).
I have a rooted tab. if posting the apps (titanium backup and apk exports) helps, let me know.

HTC Mirror Application - How to Get it Back in ICS

I'm not sure how many people really care but when upgrading to ICS, you may note that the Mirror application is no longer there...or so it seems. If you'd like to get that Mirror application back for the Narcissus in us, just flash this right after flashing the ROM. It's been tested on the WCX Generic build.
I posted this over at WCX also.

Couldn't you just open up your camera app and use the front facing camera?
But thanks for uploading it for people that actually do use or want it.

True, you could.

Also if you are using nova launcher the mirror app is in your app drawer.

Or you could push the search button and type mirror and it will show up

I was able to create a shortcut for it with Launch-X. Not sure why it's hidden, but it is still in ICS.

Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g custom ROM modding

Yo! So, I know this phone is kinda old, but I'm still rocking it. My question is based on the fact that I've tried pretty much every custom ROM and I'm currently using CM10 4.2 and I'm really not digging the contacts and messaging app that comes with it and most of the custom roms for jellybean.
So, I am wondering if it possible to replace the apk with an alternative from the play store?
Any help would rule. Thank you so much to the developers for making this phone so customizable and easy to change!

Try aoip it up to date all other roms are discontinued

There are several dialing and message apps in the play store. I think the contacts app I use is Rocket Contacts, or something like that. As for messaging apps, I will have to look at which I am using, but there are several, most of which are good, I would imagine.
