Now that my phone is rooted, any apps that require root you recommend?
-Tasker, of course.
-Any of the good file explorers (I like ES File Explorer and Solid Explorer)
-Titanium Backup, if you intend to do any flashing, as it makes restoring apps & settings painless
A firewall, many of them require root to be fully effective. I use Avast and it seems stable and unobtrusive. An extra bonus: you can block any given app from accessing the Internet.
The ones already mentioned and AdFree.
