I think File Expert is much more useful than Root Explorer. Also has same access to files, plus much more. I can browse all my network shares with it, transfer to/from network....even directly open/stream with smb instead of needing to download first. There's an XDA thread with all the info. ...and FREE
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
File Expert added. The root features are still in BETA. Also has a sillent app install/ uninstall. There is also an app by the same dev for the stand alone features of app install/uninstall, but I wont be adding it to the list unless someone thinks it would be beneficial outside of File Expert. Personally I dont care for silent app install/ uninstall. Thanks again for the suggestions.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
I just tested Wired Tether w my HP laptop, it worked great and was really easy! This is what I did:

disable wifi on laptop via physical button, now I have no internets.

Connect Atrix via usb

Win7 sees the Atrix

Open Wired Tether, touch "click to start tethering".

Win7 installs 3 drivers

-Moto usb composite device

-remote ndis based internet sharing device

-mot composite adb interface

I now have a new icon in the Win7 taskbar.

internets on laptop!

Wired Tether on Atrix is showing my data usage up/down.

"click to stop tethering".

how about something to control the led? light flow is the most popular one i think
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
I use lightflow myself, but it does not require root. It does have a "compatiblity mode" that runs as root; but then you only get 3 colors. :( The only advantage is the led is active when the screen is on. Should lightflow be added even though you lose colors running as root? Does anybody find led while screen on necessary?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] undisputedfb:
works on linux too
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] JVogler:
Are you creating a list 'only' for apps that require root access to function on Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Yes thats correct. This list is for apps that require root. Sometimes an app doesnt require root, but has an option in the settings to enable root. If an app has added functionality when running as root, that app will go on the list also.

Superuser 3.0 beta

:DHow to get the bacon!:

1. Have a rooted device with Superuser installed.

2. Download "Superuser Update Fixer". JIC

3. Download (the latest version of) Superuser Elite from the Android Market. 99c

4. GET IT! (You may have to touch this a few times quickly)

5. follow the prompts to install Superuser 3 beta!

(6). I believe it was "SU update fixer" that then stepped in and updated my binary.

Now your Superuser icon has changed and looks like this!:

And Superuser itself looks like this:

Here are the settings:

(7). Enjoy!

I confirm Superuser 3 beta is working on the Atrix! I'm not saying there aren't any bugs in this BETA, but I have yet to find any!:D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] AndreaCristiano:
What would be the need for this beside aesthetics
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
New features. Early access. Showing Bragging to your friends that you have the new Superuser 3 beta.. ;)

EDIT: Check out the "settings" screen shots. Compare your setting menu.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] vanstorm:
Having trouble installing 3.0 superuser. When I click on Get It nothing happens. Any special way to install this beta version? I have SU SU Elite and the fixer on my phone.

Thanks

nm I figured it out. I just sideloaded it
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
It appears you have to touch the "get it" a few times quickly before being prompted. I didn't even notice this the first time because I was so excited about the bacon! Haha. How are you liking it?

Sideloaded it? You found a pirated copy?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] vanstorm:
I like it. It seems a bit cleaner. I like the white background. I'm not using the ghost or pin # at prompts.

I'm not sure if it is a pirated copy to be honest but it would have to be if not downloaded from market right? Shouldn't be an issue though since I paid the $1.00 for the elite. I'm just a noob who can't figure out how to do anything right lol When I was having trouble I just google searched SU Beta 3.0 installation trouble and found a forum that had an apk link. I'll see if I can find the link again.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
That is more than most people think to do! Props to you for figuring it out on your own! Sorry again I should have mentioned you have to touch the "get it" a couple times I just didn't realize right away. But I have edited the above post to reflect. Thanks for pointing it out.

I also think it looks better. Personally I like the black backgrounds much better. I'm waiting on that feature to be added. I got use to black backgrounds on my first Android, SGS, because on that phone black used no/little battery.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] vanstorm:
I tried hitting it the "get it" button repeatedly just to see if I would be prompted and it worked. I didnt reinstall because I didnt want to fix something that wasnt broke but was nice to know it works.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] 2leaponover1:
New to the Atrix.. jumped ship from Tmobile since it appears i'm going to be discarded to you guys anyway. Really loved my MyTouch 4g though! So many theming options and roms to look at. Hopefully now that root is here the developers here will start to pick up the pace. One app I think should be added is Absolute System Tools. It does what others do with changing fonts/boot animations but also has several other options that aren't included in these other apps. It's well worth the money!!!!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Absolute System Tools added, thanks for the suggestion. Imo it sucks Tmo may become Att, haha. Welcome and enjoy your Atrix!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mgamerz:
Super manager is free and does the same as root explorer in a bit more clunky fashion.

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] 2leaponover1:
Actually, Supermanager does almost everything that root explorer does and i like the ui better, but i did notice one thing. I forget the exact details, but there are certain files in system folders that supermanager does not see. At least that was the case with the Mytouch 4g i had. I was trying to do some hack and I actually had to buy root explorer because supermanager wasn't seeing the file. It still is a great alternative for almost everything.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Super Manager added.:)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] 2leaponover1:
Automateit - a poor man's tasker. It allows automatic control of certain aspects of the phone in a much easier to understand ui. Very helpful thread here btw, thanks are in order!

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Gutterball:
Optimize toolbox is a great app can't believe it's not on the list yet! Its a all in 1 tool very very useful!! Its a app manager, startup manager, in/uninstaller, program manager, cache cleaner, file explorer, power saver and more!!! Also its completely free!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Gutterball, will you elaborate on which version is working on the Atrix?. Or which one is the complete version? There are two that I see, and they both had writing that wasn't American.. I will add the root app you have confirmed working on the Atrix, but please post a link so I know which one. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Gutterball:
Weird... this is 100% english its made by OPDA team its called "optimize toolbox(15 functions) its found right in the market if you just look for the word "optimize" I just double checked its the first one on the list.

heres a link https://market.android.com/details?id=cn.opda.a.phonoalbumshoushou&hl=en

Ok weird again...It does show it in chinese here at that link but when you install the app from the market its completely english. :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Haha, that is weird. I guess Its just the art that has the other language. The other weird thing is the "lite" version of the app has a higher rating that the "15 functions" version..? Oh well. Since you can confirm (15func) is working on the Atrix in English, that is the one I will link..

Optimize ToolBox added.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Gutterball:
I usually try to avoid anything with the words "lite" in it cause usually lite=crap! That is odd though that the lite is supposed to be better?! That would be a first! :D

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ceo.mtcl:
Yes but tenfars recovery has support for external memory card. Official one doesn't.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Fair point. Tenfars added back as an alternative until the official CWM supports ext-SD. :)

Juice Defender added, I have used the Ultimate version for a few weeks now and noticed an increase in battery life.:D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ac7brier:
Very good list. The juice apps are very helpful n i recommend to everyone. + 1
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mgamerz:
How does juice defender use root?

Trolling from my ATRIX 4G on probably the crappiest main US carrier
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
"Ultimate Juice provides some extra goodies for root users, particularly the ability to disable all 3G/EDGE (APN) connections on your device during selected scenarios. This includes pesky background mobile data services like Twitter or Facebook, potentially saving a lot of battery life while your phone is idle. The ability to adjust CPU clock speeds on the fly to conserve battery is another feature of Juice which requires root permissions, and is as customizable as any of the app’s many functions."
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mgamerz:
Apndroid/setcpu is cheaper...

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
No prob guys, let me know if you have any root apps for the list.:)

Superuser3 beta (via SU Elite) has been updated and now includes an option to backup/restore settings!

Screen Grabber by Mindphaze has been updated to .08 fixing the shake sensor bug!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Dark9781:
How about Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. It was created by supercurio and it saves a backup of "su" that can be restored after installing an upgrade. It can also temporarily unroot your phone so you can use apps that won't work if you are rooted (the google video service is a prime example). Once you want to restore your root access just restore the backed up "su". Here is the link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Okay sweet. The temp unroot is a cool idea, I know some people cannot access work email and such if their phone is rooted. Do you know for sure the temp unroot works for the ATRIX? Have you yourself temp unrooted/restored to watch a movie from Google Video?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Dark9781:
Tested it myself on an app we use at work to place orders. With my phone rooted it won't allow me to access the app, but after using the temp unroot feature I had no issues.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Nice! I added it to the list. Great find!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Added Game On. This is an interesting app, it lets you upload/download game saves. No more getting stuck on a level.

Any known app for hdmi.

it could be good one for ppt presentation

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Dark9781:
Another great app that I find useful is Move2SD Enabler. It allows you to move apps to your sd card even if they don't have that capability. It works on most apps. However, there are still a few apps that still won't move, but they are apps you really don't want on the sd card anyway. It can be found here on the android market:

https://market.android.com/search?q=move2sd+enabler&so=1&c=apps

or at the following link:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11914322&postcount=111

Please note that the market link will tell you the program is incompatible if you are running Gingerbread, but the xda link works great.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Move2SD Enabler added. I linked it to your post here so everyone will see the important info you gave about it and also they will have the opportunity to press your "thanks".

Anybody else with an essential root app that is not on the list please share with us. I have not found a better list of root apps on XDA, much less one that the apps were tested by users of the same device to ensure compatibility! Thanks all who have contributed.:D

It shows up in all of my screenshots and it bugs me.

please and thank you.

are the pictures fine? because they look horrible on my phone once I posted.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
You need to increase the amount of seconds to wait before capturing the screen shot.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Dark9781:
Got another app. avast! Mobile Security. It was just released to the android market as a beta. It can be used on non-rooted devices, but there are some features that can only be activated with rooted devices. One such feature is the built in firewall. When you activate the firewall it will integrate itself into android's default browser and alert you of any sites suspicious sites. It also gives you the ability to determine what networks individual programs have access to. There is also a feature called Anti-Theft. It has a bunch of features that will help recover a lost or stolen phone. The best part is if you are rooted you can install it to the root partition of the phone which will prevent it from being uninstalled. You can also save the settings to the root partition. A bonus feature of being rooted is that gps will be activated automatically when Anti-Theft is activated. Other features that don't require root are a virus scanner (found 4 viruses that lookout missed and scans more than just applications), a privacy advisor which tells you what programs have access to what, an application manager, and a sms and call filter. Lastly, this program is free. For more info check out this post on the android police site or avast's forum.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] direwolf1:
Thanks a ton for this. Made me aware of several great apps I had no idea existed.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
I would like to try this app and then add it to the list. Can you provide a patch for the Atrix? I'm guessing you have one since its required I think..?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mgamerz:
Sounds similar to LBE privacy guard

Trolling from my ATRIX 4G's XDA premium app, still on the gold medal winner of worst customer satisfaction for the second year in a row! Congrats!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Its not similar, LBE can cause apps to force close when permissions are denied. There is more info about the differences in the thread.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Note_E:
Yeah they definitely not similar. I was using LBE for awhile but after discovering PDroid, I switched
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
PDroid added!

LBE blocks permissions and that can cause apps to force close, PDroid blocks apps access to the data without causing the force close. One thing to keep in mind.. Obviously some apps need access to certain information to perform certain tasks or function, for example: If you block Twitters access to your contacts, Twitter will not be able to suggest friends found in your contacts (because it will no longer have acces to them.):)

PDroid requires a patch that is specific to each phone and ROM!! You have to flash the patch through CWM and it HAS to be cooked for the exact ROM you are running. For example, before being provided with a patch for Weekly 4 (THANKS MiZrY) I tried to flash the ba2tf patch thinking the ROMs were similar enough for it to work.. I was wrong, Immediately on boot I got multiple force closes that were not even readable. I reflashed Weekly 4 to resolve the problem but there are also 'undo' scripts.:)

Enjoy the app and be sure to click MiZrY's thanks button for providing us some patches for the Atrix.:D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mgamerz:
Lbe does not block permissions. Please do some research next time and try again.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
LBE will cause force closes in some apps and PDroid will not.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Mgamerz:
I have lbe and it does not prevent applications from getting data it requests. If you deny it will return blank data but will not crash the app. It does not Revoke permissions like cyanogenmod does.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Gotcha. I hadn't used LBE since day 1 beta and it did force close a few apps on me, good to hear that was mostly worked out.:)

Everyone with this phone should install motomizer

Motomizer is awesome, change lcd density, boot animations, wifi scan inerval, 3g tweaks etc. Plus ITS FREE :D:D

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.j.y.daddy.optimizer&hl=en
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
Motomizer added, I created a new category for the all-in-one apps.

I also created an Ad Block category, previously I had not had Adfree on the list, but I changed my mind and decided to add it. Please continue to support the developers by purchasing the paid versions of their apps!

In addition to Adfree, I also added AirBlocker.. I think it a very useful app, not because I would ever keep an app with AirPush, but because I see Airpush as a malicious and very intrusive thing for a developer to do!

I plan to organize the categories and apps under those categories in alphabetical order very soon.

Many thanks!

I use Llama - Location Profiles, which is an Free alternative to Tasker and Locale. :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Blunts:
Great list, thank you for all your work on this, you rock!! :D

Edit: avast! Mobile Security i think should be added to the list. It's the best all-in-one (antivirus, anti-theft, firewall) mobile security app out there in my opinion. Avast bought out Theft Aware and added it in their mobile security as an Anti-Theft module and it is incredible, a must have app and for free how can you go wrong.
