It really depends on what you want. There is so much out there it can make your head spin.

About the only thing that I would truly recommend is titanium backup. When you start playing around with the phone, sometimes even the most experienced phone people have a problem and have to reset the phone. Titanium backup will let you restore all of your apps and settings without having to re-download them all over again.

And the other app I absolutely love is keep the lights on. It keeps the bottom home keys lit whenever the screen is on, so they don't shut off after 2 seconds.

If you feel adventurous, you could always start doing custom roms using rom manager. Again, there are many out there. I have used fasty rom 2.5, cognition, and purplicious, I have been very happy with all of them. Currently running fasty. Very fast and smooth. But when you do custom roms, all your apps disappear, so definitely start with titanium backup.

Why did you root your phone? Are you up to flashing a custom ROM? It all depends on what your intentions are. As stated before TiBU is a must. Plus any other apps that require root access will now be in your grasp. Most people root their phones in order to run any number of incredible ROMs available for your Cappy. Its all up to you. If you need any tips or help feel free to PM me. I wont flame you for not knowing basics. We all had to start somewhere. Honestly though... a great source of info on hax0ring your device is on mobiletechvideos.com. Check it out. You will learn so much!

1st of all, ~ Thank you ~ t3cnOs1s  &  ironjoey. I'm a real newbie & as as dumb as can be when it comes to these things. Everyone keeps asking me why I want to ROOT ~ what do I want to accomplish. Well theres a lot of great stuff out there I want, like ~ Titanium b/up for example. BUT what I really want to do is install an app called " sixaxis " This app allows U to use a playstaion ( PS3 ) controller... Apparently U can navigate the screen menus & of course most importantly...~ play games wirelessly all while the phone is outputed to my 52" HDTV. Its like having a mini video games system...!!! When I saw this app ~ thats when & why I wanted to ROOT. Anyone have exerience wth this app & if its any good... Thank You.

Had not heard of that app before. Sound really cool depending on what games you want to do through your phone.

I might try that, but first they have to come out with an xbox controller version. I'm an xbox only guy...
