im rooted now what?

---

i finally rooted my phone, ive been hearing lots of stuff about rooting your phone being a great way to explore your phone.

1. what does it really do?

2. whats cool features can i do to the rooted phone?

3. what do i do now that im rooted?

(if i post this in the wrong section im sorry)

Unix based systems run files based on permissions. If you don't have permission, you can't do certain things. Rooting gives you root access i.e. gives you superuser permission i.e. you have access to system files.

Some apps require that level of access to change things. That's pretty much it.

are there any useful apps i should know about?

Titanium Backup lets you create backups of all applications and settings. The awesome thing is, rather than just download the game onto a new phone (or a restored old one) and start over, you can install on multiple phones, bringing the applications right back to where you started.

This is a must have application for anyone doing mods to their phone.

Umm... well I can think of others but those don't directly relate to the Atrix... there are screen shot apps,...

But you can install ROMs and kernels after routing as well.
