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

[Q] is there a way to set phone to vibrate from watch

I haven't seen anything straightforward but this seems like a no brainer. Thanks

I think the app IFTT (If This Then That) has a recipe to do this. I've installed the app but haven't had the time to me around with it too much yet.

Yes it does, but the success rate is less than 50% for me for some reason. I would like to think sometime soon there will be a way to do this without the Internet.

The latest update to the Wear mini launcher does that on the quick settings tab.

Gadgetgaz is spot on. It can also now turn on/off phone wifi and has a slider for watch brightness. :good:

How the hell do u get the stock calculator app to shut up!?

The phone says out loud everything I press, it's sooo annoying. Talk Back feature isnt enabled. I actually use the calculator on my phone alot this sucks. Any help is appreciated
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

That sounds hilarious, sorry. As far as I saw, the only options for talking were in the extended options of language and input in settings. I'll dig around and see if I can find something. I'll definitely want it disabled myself.

I noticed this today at the worst possible time in a middle of a meeting. Can't find an option to turn it off.

Went through there as well ,unless I'm not checking something correctly... could you check your calculator app and tell me if your having the same problem?
Just got this phone and never messed around with any of thoose kind of settings anyways.

Yeah. Never tried it before

Did you give any app pemissions in accessibility. If you did read this image i attached. When you give some apps permission Samsung has some issues sometimes with the voice kicking on but Samsung actually had a work around built right into the phone.
Have recreated your problem just do the work around which the phone does for you.

This is how I shut off mine. Under Accessibility if you have anything under Services, turn them off. I had Greenify on and it made my calculator talk, but once I shut it off, calculator stopped talking. Hope it helps.

Found this page with people having same issue. Seems like tmobile and att is the pattern. Tmobile here. Greenify not installed. Double checked all my settings too.

You have to click on the settings button thats below whatever app you would have given permission look at my pic i posted you will see the settings listed at the bottom but since you say you didn't do that then there is no workaround. Did you turn on a app you didn't necessarily had to do it in accessibility some apps will just do it automatically. Can you tell me what apps you may have installed that help with battery or after market lockscreen just anything you can think of

I activated then stop greenify.it's still a talking calculator ! I don't know what I'm missing here.

Alright got it to finally shut up ! I cleared cache and data on the calculator app then I started getting a notification for the workaround from Greenify I guess . Whatever, it's done now and thank you guys ! What caused all this on a out of the box new note 4? It should have been easier than all that

Neither
NOTE 4

On my phone, it was caused by activating Greenify in the accessibility settings. When I did that, I got a popup telling me that my default language didn't match TTS. It offered me options of canceling, going to settings, or enabling TalkBack. So, for some reason, activating Greenify activates TalkBack. Voila. Talking calculator.

Restricate internet(mobile data),,built it setting!!!

Dear all,
I was wondering if we have any built in setting to totally restricate(not background data) mobile internet for few selected apps!! I used lbe security in previous xsola mobile. Since we dont have root n its kinda messy to use third party app to do these things. Since i use only mobile data need to save some data. If there is somthing like that setting kindly share with me. I would be very happy ... I saw these setting in my brothers iphone. I was so jelouse :banghead:

You could try Juice Defender Ultimate. This app has a lot of futures to handle sync and blocking on per app basis.
There's root if you really seem to need it btw.

Can I disable message app if using a replacement?

I want to make sure my stock messaging app isn't drawing any resources.
Can I disable it without any issues if I'm using Textra?

I use Handsent with my Xt1080 while stock is disabled. No problems on the latest KK build.
Be sure you are happy with an alternative first then disable.

you cant disable the stock messaging app as its faded out. As long as u have the messaging app you want to use set up as default it be ok.

Some of the services are needed elsewhere, if you remove it you will find some (maybe all?) SMS apps on the play store also leverage those services and they wont work or at least that was my experience. I read some time ago this is also why the roms always have at least the AOSP texting app on board, maybe one of the smart people will come along and set me (us) straight.
