What after rooting my android device?


Ok, so one fine day in your life you heard the term root. You enquired about it. You learnt a lot from different websites. And you got inspired enough to root your device. Congratulations you've successfully rooted it too. Now what?


Here is a list of some of the must have apps which you should give it a try after rooting:


  1. Superuser
    Grant and manage superuser rights for your device.

  2. Battery calibration
    After a time of using any android device, the battery status becomes somewhat fake. As the battery is no longer as healthy as it was when it was new. The app helps you reset battery status so that you could see correct battery charging percentage.

  3. Boot animations
    Remove the time-consuming boot animations for faster shut down, starting up and reboot. Alternatively, you can customize the boot animations if you want.

  4. Boot manager
    You can prevent selected apps to run on system startup. Saves battery and time.

  5. Call master

  6. ES file explorer
    It is a free, full-featured file and app manager.

  7. Font installer
    Select from hundreds of custom fonts to install system wide. Preview, backup, install from SD card and share your fonts.

  8. Greenify
    Never should your phone or tablet become slower and battery hungrier after lots of apps installed. It hibernates selected apps.

  9. Kernel tuner
    It is a tool for root users to completely customize their device behaviour. This is the only application that offers full multi-core control over their devices. It allows users to control each core of their devices independently.

  10. SD booster

  11. Terminal emulator
    Engineering student? UNIX in syllabus? Access your android's built-in linux command line shell.

  12. Titanium backup

There is no hard answer for this. I have installed custom rom and my battery stats are fine. Over time, the battery status becomes somewhat fake, as the battery is no longer as healthy as it was when it was new. The app helps you reset battery status so that you could see correct battery charging percentage.

For enabling fast charge, you must flash a kernel with such abilities. Stock kernel doesn't offer this.
