We’ve compiled the best Apps for your newly rooted Android device to get you started.

Titanium Backup

The first App I always install on my newly rooted device to recover from any failures or to easily restore my Apps and settings after flashing a custom ROM. Titanium Backup can backup everything from message and call logs to Apps and the data stored within them. Backup and restore is as easy as a single click.

Screenshot

Many Apps allow you to take a screenshots of your Android device that require root access, but this one never fails to complete the task. If taking screenshots isn’t built into the ROM you’re running, then you’ll find many root screenshot Apps to do the job.

SetCPU

SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings on a rooted Android phone or tablet. SetCPU works with a great variety of Android devices and ROMs, including the HTC One series, Samsung Galaxy series, and Nexus devices. SetCPU allows you to set up powerful profiles to change your settings under certain conditions, such as what app is running, when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, when the phone’s temperature is too high, or during certain times of day.

Whilst root access is not specifically required for Tasker to function, some of the tasks that the App can perform require root access and is a lot more powerful with elevated privileges.
