So you have bought a new phone for yourself. Oh! It’s an Android! These smartphones are really good when you want to use them to make your life easier. Now, you must be thinking – "…how can a phone make my life easier?" Well, it’s not just the phone, but the applications that are used with it. Each of the Android apps is unique and helps you out with something or the other. New apps are being developed almost each day and presently there’s an app for almost everything. Such is the frenzy surrounding these smartphone apps that after creating them, software developers are (literally) forced to work on their performance to make them more efficient.

Now if you have a rooted Android phone or even tablet, there are some apps without which your Android Experience will be pretty ordinary. Here is some useful information about 5 must-have Android apps that need to be in your device if it’s rooted:

•Superuser – This app requires that your Android phone is already rooted before you think about using it. Basically, it’s necessary for permitting and managing Superuser rights for your device. This enables you to ensure that other apps are also gaining root access and function properly.

•Titanium Backup – Most software technicians indulging their expertise in the field of android application development have a very high regard for this app. It can be installed pretty easily and allows you to safely support your existing apps (without hampering their individual functioning). With Titanium Backup you can easily revert back to the stable configuration that you had set up initially, maybe right after purchasing your smartphone.

•Rom Manager – Quite useful, the app lets you flash the recent and the greatest CloclworkMod recovery on your Android phone. With Rom Manager you can easily but effectively manage different ROMs, organize backups for your systems, and install ROMs from your SD card or even over-the-air.

•ShootMe (Screen Grabber) – This Android app allows you to take screenshots of your smartphone’s screen without requiring the Android SDK and the usual USB connection to a computer. The moment you open this app, you need to give your Android device a sustainable shake or cry aloud to activate the screenshot – and, that’s all. The "click" sound of a lens shutter will let you know when the screenshot has been taken. And, all these screenshots will be conveniently saved to the ShootMe folder on your SD card and accordingly show up in the gallery. So, you can easily find those screenshots whenever you need them.

•CacheMate – Last but not the least, CacheMate is a very useful app to have in your Android phone. This app allows you to free up the internal memory by simply clearing the system cache from the already installed Android apps with just one click. The app also has a convenient feature that helps you to schedule auto-clearing of the cache at pre-set time intervals.

So, these are the 5 Android apps which you can’t ignore if you have a rooted Android device. Besides helping you in a number of ways, these apps always ensure that you enjoy using your Android phone!
