Nitrality Android Apk in Market

Wanna tweak your Galaxy S the easiest way? Well, here you go, an XDA member, the nitr8 – who brought us the incredible EZBase ROM – has launched his awesome app, Nitrality, in the android market. Earlier, the Nitrality app was available with Nitr8’s custom ROM for Galaxy S — Insanity ROM, so those who haven’t used this ROM, are surely going to be amazed with Nitrality android app. The application is Free and Open sourced, which is incredible in itself, and is available on your favorite market. But note that to use any of it’s super features, you need ROOT!
Nitrality allows you to do host of things which include:
Change Display Resolution
Change Popup Animation Speed
Change Transition Animation Speed
Enable / Disable Fancy Input Animations
Enable / Disable Media Scanner
Clean Media Thumbnails
Install ALL apps in a Custom made ZIP File
Install a Theme from a Custom ZIP File
Backup / Restore Insane Zeam config (If on insanity rom)
Backup / Restore efs Folder
Change CSC Code
Easy Access to Secret Codes

[Collaboration] List of root-related apps

Hey guys, there are several application in Play Market that are either related to a specific kernel (a manager app) or a ROM (like Darky's ROM app from the days of Gingerbread and Froyo), or useful apps like ROM Toolbox
But how many apps of that kind are there and how are they named?
What I suggest is to create a full list of such applications, divided into few categories like "Kernel specific", "ROM specific", "ROM customization", and so on.
Only ones I know are:
ROM Manager (and the PRO version)
Goo.im manager
ROM Toolbox (and the PRO version)
TricksterMod (for kernel management)
Direct Play Market links for the apps are also welcome

I think this is a great idea. But you might want to include the creator/developer for each as well.

Nope, because "root app" is meaningless except being a prerequisite.

Although above post has some point I'll chime in with some very useful apps:
-Greenify It lets you hibernate apps when screen is off to save battery.
- Systemcleanup. Helps a lot to update system apps and eliminate them also. It's also good to clean cache.
- Orange backup. Makes nandroid backups without having to reboot to recovery and also has the ability to upload them to google drive etc... It has support for both TWRP and CWM.

[Tweak] Kobridge's Universal Init.d Enabler + most commonly used Tools

Kobridge's Universal Init.d Enabler
(I decided to bring this tweak to top thread from my stock rom thread because it would be more benefitial to most of E4GT rom users)
I saw so many users wonder if their init.d scripts work or not. So, I created a simple flashable zip file and this can be used on any ROMs and should work on most of Roms (any E4GT stock based ROMs - JB, ICS and GB)
My odexed and deodexed ROMs are not including this initd enabler. So, if you just want to enable init.d, then flash the zip file in here. If you are already using my tweak pack, you don't need to flash this zip file. It's already there.
How to use :
Just simply flash it and reboot (but you must follow the recovery rules that I wrote at GB27 OP. Don't complain if your phone does not boot)
How to check:
Go to /data/log/kobridge_tweak00.log file. If it's there, then now your rom is able to run init.d script.
Want to check more? Open the kobridge_tweak00.log file with text viewer and if it shows the text
"If you can see message then now you are safe to add any init.d script. It's working now "
then it confirms that you are able to run the init.d script.
This initd enabler won't delete any existing init.d files and it will enable to run other scripts if there's already some scripts in /system/etc/init.d folder.
So, this can be used on any existing system without any modification.
Download link - Here
Hope this help many users!

Disclaimer: I do not provide the direct download link if the tool is not developed by me. I only provdie the links where you can download or where the developers posted the download links.
What's this?
So far, I didn't see any place where most essential tools shown in one place. So, I'm trying to show the links for the most useful tools. You may don't need to post the same link everytime to let someone know the place where he/she can download the tools.
I use all apps or tools below except CPU Spy Plus and DS Battery Saver as my daily driver and it's all about my phone... (Of course, I use many other apps for office, photos, browsing, etc. But the below apps are everything for Battery, backup/recovery, system monitoring)
System Tools - Backup, recovery tools, Recovery Kernel, etc....
Mobile ODIN - v3.65 - Chainfire - here
It's been said millions times. "Must Have" app. Use this app to flash Kernel, ROMs, etc. I keep this app always installed in my phone.
SuperSU - v1.25 - Chainfire - here
Enable you to run the system as a super user permission. "Must Have" app. I always keep this app in my phone. I also created flashable zip file for E4GT Stock based rom users - here
CPU Spy Plus - v0.5.54 - realgpp - here
"This is a simple app to display the time the CPU spends in each frequency state. This can be a useful tool in diagnosing battery problems or tweaking your overclock settings. It also displays the current kernel information and some other CPU informations. The app is a massive upgrade of Brandon Valosek's version with a bunch of new features." - Giuseppe Baglio
I use System Tuner Pro and BetterBatteryStats instead of this app but many other users use this app to simply display the CPU usage.
System Tuner Pro - v2.5.10 - 3c - here (free version also available at playstore)
I only use this app to set/change few values - auto kill & startups. CPU usage, lots of tweaks (which I do not use but I use this to check my tweak values are correctly reflected), governor changes, etc. Very useful tool. I turned on this 24x7
Android Tuner - Beta_0.8.10 - 3c - here
This Android Tuner is a combined version of Battery Monitor Widget Pro and System Tuner Pro. This has almost of functions of both two apps but I still see some improvement needed. Not using this app until I see what I want to see - battery consumption graph is not fancy...
Kobridge's Universal Init.d Enabler - Kobridge
This enables you to run the init.d script. Check the previous post for more details and download link.
ROM Toolbox Pro - v5.8.1 - JRummy Apps Inc. - here
Lots of system tools like startup, ad block, CPU control, kernel tweak, buildprop editor, etc. I use this tool mostly to monitor my tweak values, change the DPI, Terminal emulator, etc. Running this 24x7. No direct tweak values changes thru this app.
Odin (PC)
Current version is v3.07. Can be downloaded from Samsung Updates site (check the left bottom side) - here
Triangle Away - here
Titanium Backup - here
Battery Tools - Monitoring, Saving, etc..
BetterBatteryStats- V1.13B3 - chamonix - here
Very useful to check the applications which consumes battery and causing the wakeup alarms, etc. I turned on this 24x7
Battery Monitor Widget Pro - v2.7 - 3c - here (free version also available at playstore)
Useful to calibrate the battery, measure the battery consumption showing it based on multiple graph, I turned on this 24x7
Deep Sleep Battery Saver - v1.9 - Root Uninstaller - here
I do not use this app but Shadow_God is a big fan of this app. It appears that it works great when the screen is off and you can schedule the time to kill the unnecessary apps.
Other Tools - Any other useful tools
XDA Premium - v2.2.1 - xda-developers - here
Very convenient access to XDA Developers forum thru this mobile app. From this Premium version, you can give unlimited "thank you". There are free version also available.
Tapatalk Forum App - v2.4.13 - Quoord Systems Limited - here
Access over 40,000 forums easily thru this single app. XDA is one of those forums. If you have a user of lots of forums, then this would be very convenient tool access multiple forums thru single gateway.
Root Explorer (File Manager) - v2.21.1 - Speed Software - here
You know what this is. To access the system partition, this would be the most convenient (this may not convenient but most successful tool) tool. Very useful to change the permission. If this tool provide the access to ftp or remote host (server), I even don't need ES file explorer. Because of this reason, I'm using both ES File Explorer and Root explorer.
7Zip (PC) - here
Notepad++ (PC) - here
AFV - here
Speed Test - here
AnTuTu Benchmark - here
USB Switcher - here
This tool is very convenient if USB does not show as a mass storage. This tool still works on JB and ICS.

If this is a dumb question i apologize. I've flashed the comadose version for jellyverse and was wondering..if I flash a repack to flash mods then the stock kernel do I need to re flash the tweak pack or is it going to auto start upon re boot? Again sorry if its a dumb question

You should be good. Flashing just a kernel doesn't change system ui, if you flashed a rom then it would clear any mod or tweaks you may have installed. The rom will reset the system ui to stock, unless its a custom rom and it already has moded sys ui.

I think Greenify could make a worthy addition to your list.
This list is great, it can only enhance your rom experience. :thumbup:
It would be cool if all devs included a similar list with there builds.

[Q] Eating RAM to a great extent :(

Hello,
I'm using baliboxer's GENNXT ROM (Build num: XUBMHD, Baseband Version XUBMF2) in my GT-I9082
I've just installed very minimum user apps( 651 MB out of 4GB intrenal memory, this includes GAPPS too) and i've not installed a single game.
I'm using ROM ToolBox Pro to define the apps that has to be run on the background( which,i believe,is similar to using 'Greenify')
But my device eats up too much RAM to the extent that i do not even find 100MB of free RAM space out of 804MB.
This makes my device too laggy and i cant navigate gallery and camera app (though no FC in any of the app).
I'm a complete noob, so plz guide me to make my device better.
Waiting for ur suggestions guys!!!

Firstly, you can and you should "Turn off"/disable, if not uninstall, any app like SVoice, Samsung Apps, Google+ etc that you don't use (please dont remove the apps without icons/names like com.Something, that you don't know what it does), even if they came preinstalled with the ROM. You can do this by going to Settings>Applications>swipe to the right till you are on All Applications, just scroll through here and disable them if you dont need them. This will let them be in your system without letting them start up at all by any app until you enable it.
Secondly, ROM ToolBox is NOT similar to Greenify. ROM Toolbox is a heavy app with a LOT of triggers that can make itself run all the time in your phone. ROM Toolbox does offer you to select permission alteration for each app, but it doesn't actually stop them after they are executed already, which is why I avoid installing ROM Toolbox now, but that's just my opinion.
This is something Greenify beautifuly covers. You can select all apps, (excluding the one you use to keep you updated like Phone, messaging, whatsapp, googleplay etc). They will have smooth unaltered functionality when you open them but they will not run in the background (which is the main reason for your RAM usage). And best of all, Greenify only uses 3.7~4Mb RAM to keep your apps in check with no triggers except to start a process on boot.
You can use several memory cleaners but honestly you won't need them if you do both the above things right.
if you still need more, you can check out my thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476926

Suggestions Needed For Best Of Breed Apps

I want to make a ROM with Best Of Breed apps in it (Android BOB ).
I will start with a KitKat ROM (probably PA) then replace all the stock system apps with best of breed apps.
Apps must be free and ideally without ads, or with ads that can be blocked with adaway .
If they do have ads they can't be be too intrusive and the app has to be significantly better than alternatives to justify it.
Features are important but if an app causes excessive battery drain it will get bumped from the list.
There might be licensing issues in releasing a ROM with apps from the Play Store but I will address those later.
First I want a working ROM for myself.
I need help making a list of stock applications and the best alternatives.
I'll start with a list of what I have on my phone right now then update the original posts as people make suggestions.
When you make a suggestion please provide a link (you don't have to restrict yourself to the Play Store) and explain why it is better than the current app in that category.
Feel free to add another category if something is missing.
