I just rooted and flashed cyanogen IHO 7.2 and it is better than I even anticipated! Now that I am rooted, what apps would you guys recommend?

Well, you could customize further. Get a different launcher, such as nova, or go. go launcher is kinda nice because it gives further customization with themes and such.
ORRRR, you could flash to the Cold as Ice Rom!!! I would argue it's fast becoming one of the best OV roms. (It's ICS, and the only thing that I've noticed that I don't think works is the outgoing mms. Which I don't know how hard that would be to fix). I just flashed it tonight, and I'm a little excited
don't know why I stuck on quattrimus so long.

I will have to flash it today and try it out! It is ok to keep flashing, right? I have re-flashed a few times already playing with different themes.

Now that you are rooted, congrats!, you should definitely get Titanium Backup. You can keep all your apps backed up and also keep a copy of the backup on your PC. Adaway is a good app. Also, SD Booster.

Then again, TDM really didn't call himself a dev. He's trying his best.
In my opinion, solid Explorer is a must have app. Its like root explorer, but many more features.
If you want speed, go for Launcher Pro. Some apps are themed depending on the theme, so sometimes, you just read what's themed.

Yeah, just make sure you do the proper wipes whenever you flash a rom or something that requires wipes, and make sure to make a backup in the recovery menu so if anything goes wrong, you can just restore your backup.
Also, in order to get the cold as ice rom, make sure your phone has the proper radio. I recommend you have zv9, as that's what I'm using and it works very well. IT IS NOT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO GET THE ZV9 RADIO IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE ZVD RADIO. (so if you have the zvd radio, you could save yourself a lot of time and trouble by just using that.) To check your radio, go to settings>about phone>baseband version. Whatever that ends with, that's your radio.
The benefits of zv9 is supposedly better coverage/service. I feel the better coverage because I live in a place with little coverage.
The problem with zv9 is it has root patches, so it's a little bit harder to root. This is all explained here. (if you need help with this, feel free to personal message me or just ask on the thread)
I LOVE COLD AS ICE!

i know. I like him and the quattrimus series, and the rom's come quite a long way! I'm sure he will get it beta soon and running just as well as cold as ice with mms working. And I can't wait til he does!!!

If you have a CWMod recovery installed you can set up ADB on your PC and then download QtADB to your PC.
QtADB will allow you to see and transfer all the files on your Phone, not just the sd card. It does all lot more, but will take up too much space with the explanation.
If you go to the All Things Root Guide sticky you will find in the utility's section: QtADB and the Pre-Packaged ADB installer (it is in the ADB sub-section).
I think QtADB is a must have for any rooted member with a CWMod recovery.
