Hi Guys,

I found out that the following apps can be quite handy for a rooted A75. I am yet to test all of them. I think if you have rooted with the instructions in this forum then "Superuser" would be there already. Other apps are as below:

ROM Manager - Must have app for any root user. Make backups, flash ROMs, and own your device.
* Flash your recovery to the latest and greatest ClockworkMod recovery.
* Manage your ROMs via a handy UI.
* Organize and perform backups and restores from within Android!
* Install ROMs from your SD card.
* Install your favorite ROMs over the air!
Premium Version has some more features.

BusyBox - BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. (https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en)

Titanium backup - You can backup, restore, freeze (with Pro) your apps + data + Market links. This includes all protected apps & system apps, plus external data on your SD card. You can do 0-click batch & scheduled backups. Backups will operate without closing any apps (with Pro). You can move any app (or app data) to/from the SD card. You can browse any app's data and even query the Market to see detailed information about the app.

SD Maid - Apps you have already deleted, sometimes leave data behind.
The system constantly creates logs, crash reports and debug files you don't really need. The market leaves temporary files of downloaded apps behind. A comprehensive application for many other facilities.

Juice Defender - With JuiceDefender - Battery Saver you can easily manage Mobile Data, WiFi and CPU speed, you can keep power consumption under control (e.g. disabling connectivity when the battery runs low), schedule regular Synchronization events, enable or disable connectivity for specific apps, auto-toggle WiFi depending on your location, and much more.When it comes to smartphones, battery life is never enough: run at full capacity when you need it, but save battery when you don’t, with JuiceDefender.Terminal Emulator

ShootMe - ShootMe is the most popular screen capture app for Android and, more to the point, was what we use for all of our screenshots. ShootMe is a fantastic application — that’s why we love it.
(ShootMe (Screen Grabber) - Android) - Try googling for the latest version.

ES File Explorer - ES File Explorer for Android is a free, featured all-in-one file manager & application manager & task killer & dropbox client & ftp client which explores your phone and your computer. It allows android users anywhere in the world to manage their resources for free, it makes easy to manage, stay connected using your 3G, EDGE or WiFi, and share with friends, upload photos, watch videos. My personal favorite. (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en)

Metamorph - MetaMorph allows you to theme, patch, and mod your phone by adding or changing files on your system and apps.Busybox should be installed. (https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.xda.metamorph&hl=en)

SetCPU - SetCPU also allows you to set up powerful profiles to change the CPU speed under certain conditions, such as 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. (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking&hl=en)

Wireless Tether - Clients (your laptop for example) can connect via wifi or bluetooth and get access to the internet using the mobile connection (4G, 3G, 2G) or (in case you are using bluetooth) the wifi connection which is established by the handset.Wifi-tethering creates a so called adhoc (peer-to-peer) network on most devices. (https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether)

The list of pre-installed apps (which i consider useless) that I really want to throw away from the list are as follows:

MI Apps
Quikr Class
PostCard
Saavn
TeenPatti
TOI
WhatsApp

Has anyone uninstalled the above and if there is any problem noted after that? Don't think there would be any.
 
My view :
1.) ROM Manager for You guys is useless except for running fix permissions as there is no recovery for A75 more over for all the stuf u said u need CWM recovery !
2.) BusyBox is already installed for A75 while you root via the script but for updates,As more experienced users say ( thanks to karan for this ) , J Rummy's Bustbox installer is better than the one you have added and

more over i have intalled bustbox to xbin hence plz add the same as it may cause double busybox installation [plz add and correct this one <- imp.]


3.) CPU master is not needed when u have Set CPU
4.) Autorun Manager is a gr8 app for rooted as well as unrooted users it is amazingly famous among developers ! <-- and is really only app that works and is damn easy for even newbies to handle :)
5.) Guys you are in the ROOT world !!! use Link2sd instead :)
6.) Personal preference : File Expert rather than ES if u compare features .... File expert is amazing ! + fast !!
7.) FTP is already in FIle expert hence no need for extra app more over the app allows WIFI file transfer rather than that Bluetooth !!
8.) When u install Link2sd app , u have a option for Quick reboot hence you need not waste memory in special app for it :)
9.) Meta Morph ---> Guys plz confirm if this works as it only works on specific devices do not know if it is compatible with A75 <--- using it may cause Soft brick


Hey , gr8 attempt btw I think ppl must add there favroute apps in this thread :)
! just ad few things mentioned :)

one more thing ... I know many many more but i won't write --> hey its fun to find more and more ur self ;)

Plz do not quote the entire Post !!
 
I am using Touchpal Keyboard (Alternative for Swype) on my A75 Is working very well:D. Swype is not working perfectly on this device

True, I am personally using GO Launcher Ex, quite good i must say, SPB Shell 3D also has an eye-candy interface but hogs a lot of resources and in terms of flexibility it counts a bit less compared to Go Launcher.

However the following themes look great on Go Launcher:

iOS Theme - https://market.android.com/details?id=no.rosben.go_theme_ios
Wood Theme - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.wood
Plate - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wed.go.launcherex.theme.plate
Windows 7 - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.windows7
 
For social networking freaks, here is an app that combines multiple accounts in Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare.

All in one app !

Again,
Reading skills required ...

Here is a quote from the App description ...
Note: Of course this application is not charging your phone. You didn't think so, did you?! The only reason for this app is to collect the mentally challenged trolls - who never read the description this far - complaining about every app. Or you can fool your friends with this nice 'charging feature' if you like.
Do not let your device overheat! Be careful when you put your device under the direct sunlight!
