Well I'd say one of the best things that comes from a rooting your phone is Wireless Teather

You can "teather" your phones internet connection to other WiFi devices, like a laptop or portable device.

Also, overclocking your phone (making the processor run faster) is pretty sweet:

Not to be a jerk but it's "tether" not "teather". SetCPU is a great overclocking app and is free if you get it from XDA but overclocking will only work on kernels that support it.

Despite the slight grammatical errors pointed out by another poster, tethering is indeed a great tool to utilize after rooting your phone.

Could you please explain what exactly tethering is?

Tethering is allowing your computer or laptop to use your phone's internet connection. Depending on the app and type of tethering you might also be able to use things like a nintendo DS, tablets, etc. Most game consoles can also be tethered but not directly, you have to share the connection through a computer.

P.S. the only reason I corrected the spelling is to make searches easier, not to be a jerk.

Hello,

I rooted my phone (HTC Evo) in order to use screencast because I'm disabled and can't use my hands. I then installed cyanogen and my apps that came with the phone are gone (voicemail, market, etc). Can someone please help?

Thanks!
Adriana

You need to install the gapps.zip file for your phone to get market, youtube, gmail, etc back. You still won't have your data but the apps will be there.
