Ok so I rooted my Hero last night and now i would like to know what apps are for rooted users only. I search the forum and goolge and the only one I could find was the wifi tether and nothing else. If anyone one knows of any plz let me know.

Picme, Shootme, Move Cache, Better Terminal Pro... There are plenty out there.

How do you figure out if it requires root access or not and can you get them in the android market, or another source?

picme or shootme will let you know . they are apps for root ed only . it they work you are good , if it gives you an error when you try to run it then your not

Its cool honestly we all are pretty much newbies. It helps aot if you know Linux . If not the good thing is by the time your done you will know a little something about it.....
welcome to the family..... Also go add that Gutted Add on . it imporves the speed and adds a few other little quirks....... check your sleep time first before you install and tehn compare after....Aslo do a nandroid back up first before any updates is always recommended

Where are you having trouble? Did you enable usb debugging?
