This is a list of apps that I find priceless for a rooted device.
There have been too many posts asking for decent apps for rooted devices, hopefully this will calm them down a bit.
This list is not in order.
If you have any apps that should be added post and I may add them.
Will keep updating!

-Titanium Back-up-
This app allows you to back up all your apps, the data for those apps, and settings for your device in case of a problem. It stores the backup on your external sd card with one push.
It also allows you to remove that nasty bloatware!!!!!(or freeze it if you would like rather than completely uninstalling it)
The app is still being updated at the time of this post and has a free version and a paid version. The paid has a few more features than the free, but the free is amazingly useful.
Overall Score: 7/10 It is quick, useful, and can save alot of time after a reflash.
Free Version

-Rom Manager-
Rom manager allows you to switch out the roms without having to go into the recovery manually. This is great for people who are unsure of themselves while flashing roms. It also allows you download roms, check for updated roms, and backup roms to your liking.
It also allows partitioning of the sd card right in the app!
Rom Manager has a paid and free version. The paid offers more, high quality roms.
Overall score: 5/10 The reason for this is its just a short cut. Great for new users though!

-Rom Toolbox-
Rom Toolbox is the best tool(IMO) for customizing your stock or custom rom. This tool allows you to change almost every aspect of the display. From the icons such as the wifi signal, 4g, 3g, battery icon, notification background and bar, download sign, and even the vibration symbol.
You can change colors, icons, styles, and much more.
It allows you to install custom fonts for the entire system.
You can change your boot animation with ease and many free to download right from the app!
On select phones you can even change the boot logo.
This app is a must have for people who love customization!
It has some other options too such as CPU slider, prop editor, memory manager, sd boost, ad blocker, auto start manager, and so many more to list!
GET THIS APP.
There is a paid and free version. Both worth the time.
Overall Score: 10/10 It has so much, and is worth every cent of the paid price if you can afford it.

-Spare Parts-
Spare parts allows you to see and change various details about your phone in one location.
From the battery information, usage, and history to the window animations and controls.
It allows you to change the overall font size for the system as well as the speed of the animations.
You can turn on/off haptic feedback(vibrations on touch) and run older apps in compatibility mode
It is a nice small app to have sitting around for those odds and ends of an OCD android user like myself.
Overall Score: 5/10 Although its nice its something most people could live without. I still think its worth checking out if you have the time.

-Open Garden Wifi Tether-
This app allows you to do as you would think, tether your device wirelessly to allow other devices to connect online through your mobile data.
It is one of the easiest apps to use, but without lacking on the features.
You can change your SSID, encrypt the signal, Pass lock the signal, and much more.
You can see how fast you are downloading and uploading. As well as the total data that has been passed through. This allows you to share your data with multiple devices while monitoring the connection to make sure you know who is on. It has notifications when another user connects to the wifi.
This is a must for people who need wifi on demand anywhere they go.
Overall Score: 7/10 It is a simple yet effective app. Has many great features but does tend to drain the battery faster than normal use.
Only version(free)

-Screen Shot-
Screen shot is a nice app for well "screen shooting".
Some of the new phones that have been coming out have a variation of this built in such as the EVO. People with older devices can make great use off this app or if your new device does not have it or does not meet your needs.
It comes complete with a timer, or a shake to take function.
Puts pictures in their own folder in your gallery.
Overall Score: 4/10 This app works, does a simple job. Great but with few practical uses.
Only version(free)

AdFree Android
Hate ads? Me too, this app works great to block most ads through out the internet. It also blocks ads on some apps! The free version of apps spamming ads? Try this it may help. This was suggested by Mew351. Thanks for the suggestion!
Overall Score: 7/10. The app does a good job at blocking ads. Sure enough since the name, but there are other apps that do that and more. If you just want to block ads, this is for you.

-GameCIH-
For all you gamers out there that are too lazy or do not have the time but want to see what that last level looks like! This is the app for you. It is a simple cheat engine for your android! Allows in game editing off numbers. Such as money, exp, etc.
Anything you can change values of to make your game that much easier.
Overall Score: 8/10 This app just works. Makes it simple for people who cannot hex edit themselves. Makes those pointless yet addicting games go faster!

Swapper 2
Want your phone to run a bit smooth by using your sd card? This little app allows your phone to harness the power of your SD card to make your phone run smoother and faster. The only downgrade is it may wear down your SD card faster than normal. I personally used it on my HTC Eris to make it faster and it worked great. Make sure you back up your sd card though.
Overall Score: 6/10 This app works well and is very simple. The fact that it may wear your Sd card faster than normal is a big turn off for some people. If you are not worried and your phone sometimes hangs, try it out.

SetCPU
Phone seem a bit slow compared the the newer devices? Or just want to boost up that fast device to make it even better?! SetCPU allows you do overclock kernels, unclock to save battery, and much more. You can also set certain profiles for different times of the day! This is a great app for customizing your CPU! The only downfall is it costs a bit and may not work on certain phones. This app was requested by Arabic
Overall Score: 9/10 This is a pretty solid app and can do a lot. For people like me who are picky and have to have it just right, this is a great app.
Only version(paid)

For that gameCIH basically you set a button( i use the menu button ) and then while in the game pause, then hit that button and it will pull up a menu, then hit input number and put the number of the item you want to change (ex would be money in a game) then hit change the number in the game by buying something or selling ect. Then hit the button again and change the number accordingly. Should narrow it down, if not repeat until you have the number down to one or two hits, then change the number to whatever you want it to be. Should change your money or whatever item your changing to that number. may not work for all games but has for every game i have tried so far

I recommend you add SetCPU for those who have custom kernels and are willing to overclock their handsets.

Audio Manager!
its litterally an audio manager... BUT theres you can hide icons and lock apps (only if rooted) that you dont use. Great cause then i dont have to kill my tasks 24/7 cause half of them dont even get to run =)
Great app!
lookup "hide it pro" in the market
