Wouldn't Search for Android Apps & Games | AndroidApplications.com work, by searching for root?
Because not everyone uses the same phrases unfortunately. You end up with things like "root needed", "root is needed", "needs root" or "requires too" etc and you'd need to do a load of searches to narrow it down.
I think a root subforum is a pretty good idea.

The point is why search at all ,when all root apps will be in one place .
There is a All-Things-Root thread in each phone sub-forum but users (like me ) rarely tread into other phones' subforums to check out root applications or so .
The idea is to concatenate all the root apps and stuff in one place .That way it would benefit all users .
And Android Discussion/Applications is central so it would be perfect place to have the sub-forum .Not to mention reduction in Must-have root apps threads/duplicates . (But there will be increase in "How to root threads "

How about a separate sub section for applications requiring root access in the Android Applications section .
It would be nice to view all root apps in one place .
I like the idea *puts in Roze's vote*

Actually I meant in the forums 
(sub-forum of Android Applications) .
Android Applications - Android Forums
(sub-forum of Android Applications) . Android Applications - Android Forums

I'd support it. A lot of apps mention Rooting and it can be a pain to see which ones will need it and which ones will not.

It would be kind of nice after you have Joined Android Forums and learned how to root that fancy new smart phone to be able to have a page listing all available apps requiring root in one place. Even for veteran users it would be useful, and it would be a great link to include in answering all of those "Why should I root" questions.

I actually thought you meant in the Applications section - I'd like to see it there, and I'm guessing that it would not be too hard t do - searching for all the different combinations of 'Needs root' 'requires root' 'root required' etc. gets old for us but if you had the server software pulling that query and assigning a tag to those apps so that they would show up in the root only apps section then it should (theoretically) update itself.
Of course, this is based upon the fact that you can easily search each and every app for content as well as assign a tag to it.
Phases, how about a single list maintained elsewhere (such as in staff / premium access) that would then be globally visible as a sticky in ever ATR subsection on the forums?

Whichever way it is done would be good. I support any place to have them all together. A sticky does seem logical, but staff will need to maintain it if the OP is not about which can be an overhead.
Yeah I know staff will need to move or re-tag threads to fit too, but at least some might end up in the right place by their OP's posting it correctly

It's what we're here for
Of course I assumed it would be us resident green guys who'd do the maintaining, eh?

I came in late on this one so is there a sub-forum for root only apps?
