(Q) Best apps for rooted users? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to know what sweet apps people use to take full advantage of root. I'm running Ginger bread and want to know if I'm missing out on anyother cool things with root?

I wouldn't say that you're missing it, but here are a few of the apps that I consider requisite (for myself) when flashing new rom's on a regular basis:
TitaniumBackup - a must. spend the extra for the paid version. Very handy for restoring apps and settings. I figure it paid for itself the first time I ran batch operations.
DialerOne - a phone app similar to the stock Sense version that has T9 equipped for keypad dialing... (eg: I press 666 for "Mom")
HandcentSMS - my preferred messaging app.
Wireless Tether - at least I don't have to pay for mobile hotspot
The rest are just the typical apps I DL should I need them:
1337pwn (xbox friends list), dopewars, ebay, fandango, google maps/skymaps/my tracks, gps status, IMDB (satisfies my inquiries for random movie trivia), Mint (finances), speedtest, Swype
...and of course, the XDA Premium app! Seriously, its $1- why wouldn't you have it?

There's a nice list over on AF in the Droid X root forum (http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/131944-favorite-root-applications.html). Credit to Trident for gathering these up over there. Note: these are not Droid X specific.
Here's the short version:
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer
Terminal Emulator
CacheMate
Drocap2
Wireless Tether for Root Users
AdFree Android
GScript
AutoKiller
Reboot Control Widget
SetCPU
Temp Monitor
I would put Quickboot in there too (along with my AFV app, of course).
Cheers!

To me, the whole essence of rooting your phone is the control and freedom you gain. Don't like the OS, change it. Don't like a protected app, uninstall. Boot animation, change it. Volume not loud enough, turn it to 11. Colors, change them. Need more storage, move data apps to system, or data cache to cache, cache. Cpu not fast enough, overclock it.
Android becomes whatever You want it to be. Not what some board room marketing geniuses said they thought it should be.

But why don't you just make 10 louder?? LOL love that flick, more and more ppl dont get that quote when I say it.
I agree with all of Dan;s list, gonna go get Titanium now. Now that we're getting nearly weekly GB rom updates, it sounds worth a paid app.

Well yes, but this one goes to 11, which is one louder.
Lol, hey speaking of which how would you increase the volume going out the line out jack? It's below my sattelite radio, and waaaay far below the cd player's volume. Just wondering, when i stream sirius in my car i have to turn it up pretty high because even at its highest the phone is pretty low.

I know we're all sorta joking about the spinal tap thing, but there is an actual flashable zip that turns up the Max volume. Its called "turnittoeleven". I'm on my phone right now so i cant post the zip, but its out there
Edit: think this is it
