ok guys this thread ll take care of all things rooted.. from problems, apps, softwares, etc. just so that it can be a walk through for a newbie and android experts alike..

I ll be back soon with the ground work.

culled from xda developers..

So welcome to the world of being rooted,
you now have a nice shiny new rooted
Android phone, but what can you do now.
Well I have decided to start this thread to
tell you what you can now do. This guide is
for beginners and should be treated as it is
intended, keeping it simple and just going
over the basics. This guide will be broken
down into main sections –


Post 1
• Super User
• Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM)
• Apps
• Roms

More usefull apps that you might like
Super User
When you have a rooted phone you will
need this little app called super user that
has a massive job. When you rooted your
phone it will have more than likely come
with this app, if not then you can download
it here . The basic idea behind super user is
to control the root access to you phone.
Your phone must have this app before you
continue with the rest of this guide. Using
Super User is easy when you open an app
that needs root access a prompt will come
up asking if you want to allow this app
super user access, giving you two options
deny or allow.

Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM)
Once you have rooted your phone one of
first thing you need to do is make sure you
have Clockwork Mod Recovery. All phones
have a recovery mode that can be accessed
when turning on your phone or some root
access apps allow you to access recovery
mode through them. What CWM recovery
does is modifies this recovery mode to
make it better, allowing you to flash nearly
anything you want or need, such as roms,
themes and kernels. Also through CWM
Recovery you can create a nandroid
backup, which is a backup of your whole
current rom, you can also carry factory data
wipes and more advance features.
So how do you get CWM, well the first thing
to do is check, depending what root method
you used you might have it all ready
(power off your phone and then hold the
power, home and volume up buttons
together until you enter recovery mode).
You will know if you have CWM Recovery by
looking at the top of the screen is should
say “Clockworkmod Recovery”; if it doesn’t
then you need to get it. The easy way to
get CWM is by downloading the app Rom
Manager (talked about below), open Rom
Manager and there is an option to flash
Clockwork Mod recovery, select that select
which phone you have and it will do the
rest for you.
Controls for CWM Recovery – Then volume
buttons allow you to move and the power
button is used to select.
Apps
Right there are a number of apps that will
take advantage of you root access, and I
am going to cover what I believe are the
basics.
Remember when using any app that uses
the root access of your phone it can come
with risks.
Rom Manager – So Rom Manager and CWM
sort of go hand in hand, being that Rom
Manager is the nice user friendly app,
giving you control of CWM from your phone
home screen. Just like in CWM you can
backup and restore your rom, flash new
roms, fix permitions and partition SD card.
As said above you can use Rom manager to
flash CWM for you straight from the app,
you can download this app here .
BusyBox – Trting to keep this simple, when
you have a rooted phone there are sets of
commands that you do not have, installing
BusyBox will give these. This is required to
run some apps that require root access. I
think that was simple enough, oh and
before I forget you can get it here .
Titanium Backup Root – Titanium Backup is
an enormously useful app. Not only can it
backup apps, but it can backup apps and all
their data, and it can delete apps—even
system apps or bloatware (bloatware are
apps that come with your phone that you
normally can’t remove like Games hub),
making regular backups of all your apps
and their data. You can download Titanium
Backup here , also if you would like to know
more about how to backup and restore
most things when changing roms (more
about roms just below) you can use my
other guide here .
These are the very basic apps that you will
need to see you of into the future of a
android custom android experience, I will
include other cool apps that use root access
in post 3.

Roms
So the best part about having a rooted
phone well for me anyway is the massive
list of roms out there. If you don’t know
what a rom is then here we go. When you
get your android phone and turn it on,
you’re faced with this impressive software
that allows you access to apps throught the
market, make phone call, txt, maps, voice
commands, email and the list is never
ending. This is all done through the
software known as the Rom, the rom you
get when have your phone is known as a
Stock Rom. Now it this stock rom that we
can change to improve our Android mobile
experience known as a Custom Rom, and
there are lots of custom roms out there.
Some are made to give you a better
battery, better custimization, improved
features, so to provide a vanilla experience
and some try to make a balance of them
all, but the main idea is to make android
better. So roms are broken down into
different categories, here is a breakdown of
them for you.


Stock Rom – As talked about before stock
roms are the software that comes with the
phone, some people prefer the stock
experience but I don’t. The main problem
with stock roms is that manufactures will
place an extra layer of software on top of
the rom known as a user interface (UI),
such as Samsung wither their touchwiz UI
and HTC with HTC Sense UI. The problem I
have with these UI are they are power
hungry and well not to sound mean but
touchwiz is not very well made.
AOSP – Android open Source Project is the
android rom in its basic form, so it has no
bloatware or power hungry UI’s. This is
where you will get most of your custom
roms from, there are devs within the
android community most found right here
on XDA, that will use AOSP and make their
own custom roms with this adding to and
improving it to make the best rom they can.
Just as a note there is no best rom and you
will never get an answer as to which is the
best. Each rom is to their own and suit
different people with different needs, but as
a starter rom to get use to the idea of
flashing roms and learning everything that
is needed then I would recommend a
Cyanogen Mod Rom, as this is the most
popular and you will get the most advice
from the community is it is the most used.
You can find the Cyanogen Mod website
here . The best way to find roms is to look
through the forum and look in the
Development and Original Development
thread.

I hope this guide
helps even a handful of people.
