List of top 10 apps that require root

Now that I'm rooted, I'd like to start up a thread where users can name their top 10 apps where it requires root, I'm sure there are others that have just rooted and would like to see what they've been missing.
Here is mine so far:
ShootMe
Titanium Backup

MyBackup Pro + Root = Awesome!
ShootMe
Market Enabler/Access
Barnacle wifi tether
Ninjamorph

whats so good about ninjamorph

Mine are:
Adfree
Busybox
MyBackupPro
Root Explorer
SuperUser
Titanium Backup
xRecovery

Adfree, TitaniumBackup pro, root explorer and cache mate for root are the essentials.

titanium backup
barnacle wifi tether
root explorer
ad free
still thinking on some more

continuing : setCPU, terminal emulator, cachemate

Type fresh - to change your fonts
Root explorer -for editing system files
Reboot widget - does what you'd expect it to do!
And you don't need root for flashlight!

it is true, root explorer also works without root the phone! but not operates at 100 x 100! cmq remains one of the applications required to have and use. http://www.appbrain.com/app/root-explorer-(file-manager)/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

Either buy it or use a free alternative. Stop ripping off developers. Also, read XDA rules regarding warez

Please don't encourage warez. A few dollars for a good app is well worth it and will not impact one's budget in any way unless you go on a mass app buying spree.
If you legitimately cannot afford it, there are plenty of great free alternatives

Update RootExplorer.

Hi I installed 0.20 Floyo which comes with RootEplorer, how do I update RootExplorer with the new version of the Rootexplorer .apk that I have ?

Install it?
If your new installation does not recognize old one, just remove stock Root Explorer with System App Remover.

Buy it, Ratch is actually really naughty and he should not have put that in his rom in the first place.

If you have a rooted phone you can use rootexplorer to remove some unwanted apps from the system/app folder there is somewhere on this G3 forum a list with apps you can remove but for the moment i cant find the name of the thread

Ok thanks. Yes im rooted and ill look for it on the market. Is it free

Here, at the end of this post ("Clean ROM" section): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15391697&postcount=5
And I recommend you Titanium Backup. The free version just works.

i recommend the es file explorer as an alternative.

use titanium explorer
backup the apps you wanna remove and then remove them
even if you run into probs you can restore from the backup

Wich adblock solution do you use in KK?

So, what adblock solution do you use? Since Google banned adblockers from the play store I have been using AdFree, but after I upgraded to KitKat it's no longer working.
Are there any other apps worth using or a hosts file provider you know of?
Thanks!

If you're rooted XAD works well

Adblock Plus does the work just fine for me.

The idea is nice enough, but I really like the hosts file solution as it blocks all ads system-wide regardsless of app.
Might return to it if I can't find an alternative, thanks.

I have read about it, and are usign it for my browsers on the PC, but can it block ads even in apps and videos?

CrashROM has a host enabled adblock app, can't remember off the top of my head which it is, but it works well also.

Yes. And yes. It's a complete ad block as complete as it gets. It's got a perk in that it doesn't even need root! (Although it DOES work better with root)
It has options to allow non - intrusive ads too. Which is actually helpful that it blocks all ads that are annoying and let's correctly used ads stay so that good developers get their money too

Reset your device dude.

Try foldermount. It say your phone has a issue and the app repair it. It worked for me. You can try a flashable zip too (sorry for my english)
