Must-have apps for your rooted Android phone

These are some of the apps that I have come to like. Some of them might be paid ones, but those mentioned here are worth it: Tasker: The best Android app you may ever encounter. It performs tasks based on contexts, i.e., you can trigger some actions when a particular situation occurs; this is much more powerful than you can imagine. Allows you to swap kernels for your phone. The main attraction is the ability to over-clock your device and squeeze out extra battery life or some extra performance, according to whatever your priorities are. The app allows you to browse the different kernels available for your device, download them and then flash them to your phone. This is one of those ubiquitous apps that you will find on most rooted phones. It allows you to overclock, under-clock and tune the CPU of your phone. As the name suggests, it allows you to browse the root filesystem of your phone, which most normal file explorers do not allow. This allows you to secure your phone by preventing unauthorised root access to your phone, with the help of superuser rights management. This gives you access to some useful Linux or UNIX-based commands that are required for many root-level tasks. Adfree: An app that acts like the AdBlocker extension for your Android phone, as it blocks all Google ads from showing up in your applications. And of course, the ones mentioned earlier, like Titanium Backup Pro and ROM manager, are also to be included in this list. Besides these, you might need a console app and a good keyboard that suits you.
