What are the must have/best apps for rooted phones?

What are the must have/best apps for rooted phones? I've installed root explorer and the wireless tether (which I haven't gotten to work so far). What else does everyone suggest?

SetCPU
TempMonitor (almost a necessity IMHO with SetCPU)
If you don't have a 2.1 based ROM (or one with LiveWallpaper's loaded) doing that manually is nice. I just like the movement of the Wallpaper (I keep the grass one on my Droid)

second setcpu. The new update nicely shows the temp in the widget now.

LEDs Hack works good to kill the lights at night.

SetCPU's widget takes care of the temperature. Plus you can set a profile to drop the processor speed if you hit a certain temp.

helpful. he's asking for the best apps for root, not a generic google result. it's a subjective question. thusly:

root explorer (must-have)
cachecleaner (or cachemate)
drocap2
better terminal emulator

I don't care for that one. I don't like the SetCPU box being on my main screen, but want to see the temp constantly.

So I use the other app so that it adds the temp to my bar instead so it's always visable.

Much nicer for my personal preferences.

I do, though, keep SetCPU's widget on my left screen and I do agree it's nice... I just like my main screen being minimal.

ALSO:
I highly recommend Root Explorer. I added that a little while back, for boot animations, and it does so much if you're looking for "true" file access.

An absolute must. And CacheMate (not just because I developed it but because it's really good

)
