What to do next addons/apps?

Right, I have debranded and updated to R2BA026. But I am not really sure what to do next, other than maybe add a theme? I still have the blue background on most screens and what to get a more modded feel.
Can anyone recommend which themes and I presume Beautiful Widgets? Also would be nice to get a list of essential (and non) apps, both paid and free.
Cheers

Tasker rocks my world.

Wel there's two dark themes by 2 dif people in the themes n apps thread! I'm new n iv decided to use one of them themes from before to modify it to my needs. I think I've done a pretty gud job so far!

Anything else?

You can get apps such as
Titanium backup (free & paid version) - for backing up apps, uninstalling n so forth!
Barnacle wifi tethering (free version) - for broadcasting your 3g signal as a wifi signal to other devices. (note.. if you do get this app. Go into settings and put athwlan0 in the 'lan' settings and make sure your wifi is off n 3g is on before you press the start button!
Shootme (free version) - take screenshot of your phones display
Mybackup (free version) - back up contacts sms emails n so forth.. there's also a full version called mybackuppro altho not sure about the differences! lol
Typefresh (free version) - used for changing fonts!
I'm sure there's more out there
Hope it helps!!

Freezing Apps on Pro / Running Rooted GB

I love Gingerbread on the Pro, and love having it rooted (kudos to P3), but have noticed that its a little trickier to freeze unwanted apps (via Titanium Backup) without stumbling upon system conflicts.
Note - I use Launcher Pro Plus for my launcher app. I also use Handcent for SMS and K9 for all my email (4 gmail/google apps accounts); no MS Exchange
Thus far, the things I have successfully frozen:
Bookmarks Widget
CityID
Email
Email Authenticator
Files
Flickr
Help Center
Home screen tips
LastFM
Messaging
My Verizon Mobile
Myspace
New & Weather
News
NFS Shift
Orkut
Photobucket
Quickoffice
Rich Location
Skype mobile
Skyrock Authenticator
Social Messaging
Social Messaging Services
Social Networking
Social Sharing
Social Status
Task Manager
Toggle Widgets
V Cast Apps
Voice Commands
VZ Navigator
Weather
Yahoo Contacts

Thanks for the list. You've rooted GB on the Pro?

Yes - rooted GB via Team Black Hat

in my experience, freezing the authenticators seems to cause my motorola contacts to force close; e.g. I can't open any contacts. Not sure if skyrock messes anything up but probably check just in case

Agree. I have gone through several iterations arriving at the list that results with no force closes. So far, so good.

I've frozen DLNA as well, but it still seems to show up on my watchdog so I had to rename the apk to get rid of it.

As far as I know, there are 2 apps for DLNA. The first has the obvious name of DLNA but there is a second one where it has a different name but has "dlna" in the service name. Found using SystemApkManager

great list!

I followed this list and everything went great (but I did not freeze anything, I just cut & paste all apps on my SD card), except I lost my Messaging application (duh!) So I put the messaging APK back in the system/app folder and restarted, but the Messaging app still doesn't show in the app drawer. Any ideas? Am I supposed to "ADB Push" it?

Help Anyone?
Update: So I was trying to flash the TBH Gingerbread files via recovery & the flashing was aborted! But when I rebooted I found that my Messaging app has been restored Talk about lucky.

Help！How to ROOT the droid pro

Kudos for the list, and GB on Pro
I too am an avid Gingerbread Boy on Droid Pro. I had a Pro for almost 3 years, running v 2.3.4 (OTA updates from Froyo to GB 2.3.3, then OTW to 2.3.4), but never realized I couldn't root on 2.3.4 so I found a blog by Sarat Marudhuri, "Rooting For Dummies," and was all set to begin following his steps, including flashing back to 2.3.3.
This past Saturday, after a week of thinking my battery was becoming toasted as I couldn't maintain a good 3G signal and the battery kept wearing out in no time because when 3G returned and the Bloatwares all got happy and started up again, I was still avidly pursuing root. Sunday Page Plus had a major server shutdown, both web and phones, and my broker, Prepaid Online, told me all about it, and asked that I keep trying. At 20 minutes before 9 (central), I managed to score on the call in, and hit the "hold circle" with muzak for about 39 minutes, then got a recording stating the office hours, and the office was closed, so try tomorrow. A buddy of mine is manager of a corporate store, and had a Pro that someone had traded in, so he gave it to me. To my surprise, it was pristine in condition, and was still on 2.3.3! Now this evening, I've spent the past 5 hours working through Sarat's blog and yes, I am now officially "ROOTED" although I'm going to stick with the current version and avoid 2.3.4. I used his list to freeze at that Verizon Bloatware, and confirmed his list with your's!
Hats off to XDA-developers for giving us such a great resource to streamline our Android phones!

[Q] Lost some of my Apps after upgrade

I loaded the Froyo Android 2.2.2 Indonesian Update
Great I now have 2.2.2 and all works a treat except for a couple of small problems
1: Some of the apps from the app store I can no longer see. I can see them in APPbrain but I cant load them.
I get a message saying the requested Item can not be found.
This is for both 1 free app and one paid app. I can download the Roadsync app but not the buy unlock key (Which is paid for) and my aussie banking app (Which is free) and the ebay app (Though I found the Ebay app as a apk file and it works fine now.
2: the emotion widgets give me all the news in Indonesian. Just a minor thing but I really liked the emotion RSS feed widget.
It the roadsync email thing that's the killer.
Hope someone can help

Found the problem.
Apparantly lot of the Froyo releases (Including the Indonesia 2.2.2) are not recognised by the app store. If this is the case "Protected" apps don't show up and there is almost F all on can do about it. Apparently the is a fix, but you have to be a real propeller head to do something about it.
I did find that the official 2.2 release from Brazil (search on this string and you shall find) works a treat.
String for google "S7V100R001C68B111(Brazil Commex)"
Just be warned you will have to change the language (so see where the language is in settings before you image) but it all works just dandy and the Z4root works as well.
Also the Emotion Widgit can be edited (Not really intuitive but it does work)
My T touch TAB (Sorry Ideos 7) is like a new machine, I am very happy.

give me your top paid apps

i dont use credit cards so up till now iv been using free apps only, i have a prepaid and i want to pick up some paid apps.
there is a top app thread but its not necessarily for paid apps
i think ill get one of the paid juice defenders

My top payed apps are Tapatalk and Titanium Backup.

Acer Recovery Installer
Titanium Backup
CO-Pilot Live Latest version.
Thumbs Keyboard.
Sync sms. or tab tex (text msg thru your phone from tablet)
if you are not on a custom Kernel DONT BOTHER WITH over clicking apps. they do not work.
Also take a few bucks and pass around to the DEVELOPERS of the roms you use.. Just a Thought ..
Good Luck

[Q] Saving Apps

Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there is like a thing in google play or an app wich can just save/remember the apps you have each time. I install roms on a lot of android devices but always hate searching my favorite apps and downloading them all again.
Or do I just need to backup the apps in the recovery or something.
Any help would be appreciated

Play store > Titanium backup

Paid version here as well. (Namely because the paid version offers a number of little things that help a bit, such as SMS, Call Logs, and other settings in XML which is more compatible with being restored on various devices, also there's the extra troubleshooting if you can't seem to get an app restored).

Helium (formerly Carbon) ftmfw! Not only will it let you back up app data only if desired (very useful as it saves space by only backing up the app data e.g. account info, saved games etc) and save backups to the cloud, you can sync app data across multiple devices so you can carry on your Angry Birds mayhem on your tablet right where you left off on your phone. I have the paid version of Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox Pro and Helium and by far Helium is king
