Top 10 Apps for Rooted Devices
Here’s a selection of the top 10 apps for rooted devices. The apps have been chosen for their functionality, ensuring that users get optimum satisfaction from their devices.
The number of apps in the Google Play store keeps increasing by the day. The growing number of people moving to Android has led to a requirement for innovative apps that make the most of the device. As is the case with several Linux distributions, only a superuser is allowed access to the core system’s components. And in most cases, this is limited to system apps and those produced by Google. To overcome this, users perform a process called rooting, which allows superuser access to other apps.
Greenify
Over time, you will find that although smartphones and tablets are bundled with a lot of functions, there are a number of applications that you do not need on a regular basis. For example, chat clients such as the Facebook messenger will periodically check for new messages. Most such applications use Google Cloud Messaging service that does affect the battery life in the long run. Even after you exit an app, it continues to run in the background and is in the memory till forcibly closed. Some apps trigger other apps, which affects your phone’s performance greatly. Greenify is a solution that closes such applications and keeps them inactive unless they are specifically opened by the user. Open the Greenify app, which lists all the installed apps and services, and select the ones that are to be Greenified and those that are to be allowed to run. Greenify comes with an App Analyser that inspects the installed apps and informs you of events that trigger certain other apps. The apps that use Google Cloud Messaging are shown with a special icon. Unlike other task killers, Greenify makes launching and closing the apps in question a seamless process. Greenify itself is extremely lightweight with a memory footprint of less than 5 MB. Using Greenify will not only make your phone faster, but also improve your battery life considerably. There is also a Greenify Now widget that ‘greenifies’ all selected apps with a single click.
