  • Tweak Android settings to let you do things you would otherwise not be able to do (such as get high-quality YouTube... or do SIP/iax2 VOIP... over your g3 connection)
  • Access parts of the phone (dialer, microphone, gtalk service, etc.) in ways that are either restricted or there is no API for yet to enhance phone's functionality.
  • Add full support for apps inside Android written in other languages besides Android's Java-like VM (ie, Flash, Mono, Python, C, etc.)
  • Install non-official variants of Android such as the new Cupcake release
  • Support non-official capabilities of the G1 (multi-touch? Voice distorter? etc.)
  • Add more unix tools (such as full busybox prompt), windowing systems (such as X11) or unix programs programs, potentially adding tens of thousands of new applications.
  • Replace OS entirely with Debian or something else.
  • Overclock (?) or otherwise alter default behavior at CPU level
  • Add enhanced "full" backup & recovery of the entire phone
etc. etc.

Is there a guide to adding all these features after rooting your device? I've found walkthroughs for rooting and it seems straightforward enough, but for newbies like me I have no idea how to go about adding these features after rooting.
