Zmooth, it lets you use gestures to mimic your device's hardware keys (back, home and menu), you will be able to use very intuitive gestures to navigate rather than the hard buttons.

I don't mean to be ungrateful, but I just feel like there have to be more root apps than this? Can we include apps that benefit better with root permissions? Such as:

RealHDMI - True HDMI Mirroring for Droid X

or JuiceDefender - Fulll configurable way to control your phone and save battery.

Maybe I just really want some cool root apps, and I'm not satisfied with the options available hehe.

Edit: Also the last post was back in June, are people just tight-lipped about their root apps?
