Back to Android
Here is a list of potentially useful applications
Only for root
Those apps require to run on a rooted phone
- AdFree : blacklist ad providers via /etc/hosts
- Busybox Installer : for some decent shell tools
- Cachemate for Root Users Free for cleaning apps caches
- DroidWall : Firewall, iptables frontend
- Keystore Unlocker : Automatically unlock keystore on reboot
- MarketEnabler : Change provider ID towards Android Market, useful to download apps only available via some providers
- Got better results with PaidAppsEnabler
- MyBackup Root : full backup
- OpenVPN Installer : requires also kernel module, not yet tried
- Overlook Fing : Network portscanner
- screenshot : Take screenshots by shaking the phone
- Superuser Elite : the application which got installed when you rooted your phone but you may want to benefit from Market updates
- Superuser Update Fixer : if you've problems updating your Superuser package. Trying it doesn't hurt and make sure your local Superuser signatures are ok.
- Transparent Proxy : transparent TCP redirector to a proxy, needs still a functional DNS
- Webkey for a remote access from any browser

Fresh updates of the Market application itself...
