Root Must have APPS for rooted users

sorry for the noob question, but where do you get these apps (the marketplace?) specifically Wireless Tether? I think it might be finally time to root since my wife wants to get the iPad2 this Friday and I'm not about to get the 3G version.
 
Here's my list:

Set CPU
ROM Manager
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer
AdFree
Android Terminal
Droid VNC Server
Wireless Tether

Let's keep this thread going. Lots of great apps in this!!!
 
My favorite so far is Webkey. It's basically a remote control for your incredible from ANY PC ON EARTH. Takes screen shots and has terminal emulator, too. Works with 3G or WiFi.

I just Rooted my LG Ally and one of the apps I downloaded and have been using is Root Explorer. One of my first tasks was to remove the "bloatware" such as Skype, MySpace, Facebook, Calendar Widget, CityID, etc., among others. I removed the apps by simply utilizing the r/w feature in Root Explorer and moving the above noted from my system/apps folder to a folder I created on my SD Card. I did this just in case I wanted to restore those apps to my phone's internal storage. However, my phone's internal storage does not show the amount of free space that it should for moving those apps. And when looking at the free space in my system folder via Root Explorer, it shows more as compared to looking at via my SD card and Phone Storage Settings - about a 12MB difference. It's as if my phone doesn't recognize that those "bloatware" apps have been moved. Any ideas? Thanks for any replies!
 
I just rooted my Ideos u8150 and am using for now; SetCPU, AdFree, Android Assitant, App2SD, Spare Parts(lets me set my screen transition speed), Titanium Backup.

I've not yet uninstalled it because I keep saying I'm going to get around to figuring out what is wrong, but every time I run this app there is a short pause and then the app sends a message saying there was nothing to wipe. This is all I've ever gotten out of it. <shrug>

Funny enough it always said that but seemed to clear up room anyway. Take a look before and after and ignore the.message. all I know is it helps quite a bit
