Root Must have, root apps.

Top of my list would be a custom ROM either Velocity or Frunisher as they come with most of the below listed

SU of course
Busy Box
Terminal Emulator
Titanium Backup Pro

some kind of cache cleaner like Cache Mate
Wireless Tether or Barnacle
Astro or Root Explorer
set cpu if you don't go with a custom ROM that supports built in overclocking
Can't forget getitnowmarketings amon ra recovery in any list

The root apps i currently have are
1.Rom Manager
2.Absolute System-Can Change font and change boot animations.:p
3.SetCpu-Velocity 1.0 OC-724 MHZ:D

What other apps should I need for a rooted device or for the lg ally?

What do you use ROM Manager for? Isn't it kind of useless with the Ally and Amon RA?

I use Root Explorer and Velocity scripts to change boot animations and fonts. I also make my own font flashable zips.

What everyone else said about setcpu.

ROM Manager is still good for fixing permissions. But that's about all I use it for. I paid for premium a while back so I kinda have to keep it ya know. However, my recovery got weird on me a few weeks ago and I had to use clockwork to get back into recovery to reflash amonra. So, I suppose it still comes in handy at times!

Nah man, I'm not hatin' on it by any stretch. It's just not as compatible with Velocity as Amonra. I've also had many issues with recovery screwin' up with Clockwork in the past. It has helped me many times as well. I still dig it for some stuff ya know!:cool: It's all good!!
