I think you should add a note to the apps that require root access like Titanium Backup for example incase a new android user wonders why he can't use that app.

As much as I'd love to, there's far too many apps in the list for me to go through each and every one. Plus, usually most apps mention they require root in their Market listing.

Good grief, so many! I'm assuming we're not including android pre-installed apps (id est, Gmail)? +1 for all the following...

Go Launcher Ex
Dolphin Browser HD/Mini (whichever you prefer)
Tapatalk (even though favorites and notifications don't work for GBA Temp, bummer)
Friendcaster (3rd party facebook client)
Google Currents
Google Music
Voodoo Sound control (for ROMs that support it)
Google Voice (if you're on Sprint, since you can make your Voice and Sprint number the same, and hence have an eternal log of your text messages and call history)
ES File Explorer (great file manager, and it's free with no ads)
Evernote (great notepad app, synced using both desktop and mobile clients)
Alarm Clock Extreme (includes features such as Captchas and math problems to make alarms snooze or dismiss, minimizing your chance of going back to sleep)
AdFree Android (for rooted phones)
Chainfire 3D, and addon CFLumen (includes many screen features such as a F.Lux-like screen temperature changer for night time)
Volume+ (for those on CyanogenMOD ROMs with lowered max volume)
All of Yongzh emulators
FPSE
BluezIME (for iControlpad, and other bluetooth controllers)
PewPew and PewPew 2 (best Android game, imo: think Asteroids, but a billion times better)
Dropbox
Juice Defender
Lookout
Mybackup Pro
Pocket (try it out, trust me)
ROM Manager (for rooted devices with custom ROMs)
Trillian
SlideMe MarketPlace (for "banned" apps like Yongzh emulators)
Superuser (for rooted devices)
Wikimobile or Wikimobile 2

+1 to Power NZB. Finally an app that lets you download via nzb and auto unrars and uses pars if needed. Great stuff.

or you can just give apps with >5 votes its own root section. glancing over the list it looks like its just titanium and adfree

Finally bothered to update this thread. FYI: I don't count mass votes like "All of Yongzh's emulators." Name them all, and I will +1 them all. You're not going to make me work hard remembering all of them because you were too lazy to write them all down.

Sometime soon I'm going to label all of the root-required apps with ♠.

[xwatchmanx]

There's no point, though. All of yongzh's apps are the exact same (UI, features, etc) except for the console they emulate. It makes more sense to just +1 them all. It's about practicality, not laziness.

Anyway, regardless, +1 for...

Gameboid
SNESoid
NESoid
GBCoid
N64oid

Those are the ones I used, so I can't rate the others (though, again, they are the exact same)

See, there's the other side of it. If I just +1'd everything, systems almost no one would use (see: Gearoid) would be at the top.

Sorry but I have to instantly -1 this.
It won't work or should I say it can't work becouse there aren't dynamo in your phone (look wikipedia dynamo and no - proximity is just analog-digital converter). It just looks at proximity sensor and tells it's "charged" even if androids own power manager says battery has drained even more becouse it has access tons of things on your phone. Can you name one good reason this kind of app needs access to your personal data, GPS and internet connection?
I can't believe how much 5 star ratings this spyware has. Maybe app rates itself 5 stars with all access it has becouse at least all finnish reviewers gave it just 1 star and begs everyone to stay away from it.

Just use your head ppl and always look what app wants to do with your phone before installing.

I guess you've fallen for the joke app as well. It's there to trick people and it states in the description that it's for fun only.

Not to mention I don't support -1's.

Joke apps only needs permission to use internet for ads. This one needs all other things as well.
There's actually several apps named "Shake to charge" and only one mentions it's only joke and even that one needs ridiculously many permissions.

Sorry I mixed things with another essentials thread which allowed -1 for really bad games ^^;
