1) Titanium BackUp Download




The most powerful backup app for your Rooted Phones! It backs up almost everything on your phone, including system settings to Market Links to the App. It’s is insanely fast as well.
Some features of the powerful Titanium BackUp app are,
- Very fast app listing (~1 second for 300 apps)
- Sort apps by name / last backup / backup frequency
- Filter apps by name / type / status / Apps Organizer labels (also affects Batch operations)
- Backup/restore regular apps + their settings
- Backup/restore protected apps + their settings
- Backup/restore system settings (incl. Wi-Fi AP list)
- Restores the Market links when restoring apps
- Zero-click background batch backup
- Interactive batch restore
- Many batch scenarios (eg: if more than N days since last backup, etc)
- Zero-click app un-installer
- Zero-click system app un-installer
- Desktop widgets
- Multiple backups per app (history length can be chosen)
- Zero-click background batch restore
- Batch verification of all backups
- Ultra fast HyperShell (much faster for almost everything)
- Market Doctor can remake any broken Market links (only for apps that were backed up with the link in place)
- App freezer can disable an app (and make it invisible) without un-installing it
Unlimited, independent scheduled backups (each of which can run 1 to 7 times a week)
This is a must must have for people wanting to delete Moxier suite on Xperia X10 and who keep updating their phone with smallest of the firmware upgrade. This would prove to be hell lot of a time saver! 




2) StartUp Auditor


One of the best apps for monitoring what starts up when you reboot or restart your android phone! There are a lot of useless apps that slows down your phones restart process and hogs the RAM un-necessarily by starting up automatically at the boot! They are battery hogger too! So, you got to control them in order to get a better performance from your android phone! :)
Startup Auditor is a tool which displays a list of applications that react to OS boot completion. It is very likely that after receiving such an event, the application does something behind the scenes.
Click on an application in the list to view further details about it. Furthermore, there is a button that can be pressed in order to view Android’s regular information about that app, as well as take other actions such as uninstalling.
It’s another app which is highly recommended by me. A must must have for your Android Xperia X10




3) PicMe (Screen Grabber)


Earlier taking screenshots from my Xperia X10 was a tough process to connect it with computer and use either the Dalvik ddms or the PC suite for Android Xperia X10. This is the one app i came across after rooting my Xperia X10, that i can’t live without now! This is a must must have for all root Android Users. PicMe allows you to take screenshots of your Rooted Xperia X10 ( or any other android device! ) remotely form a web browser. Just Fire up the PicMe App on your Xpeira X10 and go to http://your IP Address(that you used to connect your device to your computer):8082. For example: 192.168.1.2:8082
That is as simple as it sounds! :D
And guess what there is a Live view as well. :) YOu can control your Xperia X10 right from your Browser and even use your computer keyborad to type messages, watch videos on the phone, etc.
This is one lovely app that you simply can’t afford to miss on your Xperia X10. This is completely FREE! No Ads either!


4) AdFree Android

Are you really annoyed of the Ads in the Best Android Apps that you love, but don’t want to pay for the PRO/Donate version to just remove the ads from it! I guess this would sort out most of these problems. This app does exactly what you need. If you’ve rooted your Android Xperia X10, then you can install this app on your phone and it will block ads by nullifying requests to known hostnames serving ads




5) Wireless Tether for RootUsers




Jealous of Android 2.2,Froyo Users that they can use the their highly paid Data plan on their Computers with Tethering on their Android Phones? Don’t worry, if you have rooted your Xperia X10, you are in luck and you don’t have to wait for Sony Ericsson to pus the Android 2.2, Froyo updates on the Xperia X10. Now you can use this wonderful app to get Wireless tether on your computer. This app has a simple UI and very easy to get things working!

6) Type Fresh


Type Fresh allows you to easily backup, restore, and replace your system fonts. After applying your fonts, you MUST reboot your system! Please be carefull of which font you use as there are some fonts that itself is not supported by Android and that would require you to Repair using SEUS/PC Companion!

7) Copy Paste It


Fed up with limited behavior of Copy and Paste Functions in your Android Phone? Here is one of the best apps that you would love to use in your Rooted Android Phone! It brings universal cut-and-paste functionality to Android handsets by creating a system wide clipboard on your Android phone.
This app uses Optical Character Recognition Engine to extract Text from the Screenshot window it generates after a shake or the Notification button! Finally, it copies the recognized text into your clipboard. Since it uses OCR Engine, result is not 100% correct so before the extracted text is copied into the clipboard it asks for a conformation message and you can edit the text before it is copied to the Clipboard. :)
And to remind you, this is form the same developer who built the Famous “Car Locator” app for Android!

8) Root Explorer (File Manager) Download


The ultimate file manager for root users. Access the whole of android’s file system (including the elusive data folder!).
Includes SQLite database viewer, Text Editor, multi-select, zip files, execute scripts, search, re-mount, permissions, bookmarks, email, APK binary XML file viewer.
It’s a must must have for Root Users! Don’t miss this one on your Rooted Android phone!
