Help getting started with the inc

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums. I just got my phone today and I read about some stuff here about thing from battery life all the way to rooting. I just have a couple of questions.
If someone could post a list of useful apps, just a brief one, it doesn't have to be like a full novel or anything, that would be great.
Also if someone could explain to me how I can customize the phone, becaues right now minehas the stock background and format and I would like to make it look nice. Not sure how to do it though.
I would also like to know all this deal about rooting and whatnot. I read some stuff that mentioned rooting and kernels and stuff and I really don't know what it is. I would like to know and try it once I get comfortable. Also what are roms? Sorry I'm kind of a noob at smartphones.
Thanks
