[Q] what are the root apps you use...?

[snir2]

So, I'm trying to decide if to root my tablet - the unlocked lte version. . .

I wanted to ask you what are the main apps/ modules/ tricks you use (that require root ).

and now, looking back, do you think it was worth it losing the warranty ?
(since there is not a lot of development for our tablet anyway- no custom rooms, no costum recovery etc' )

all my devices were rooted until now.... so I'm not new to rooting

thanks ))

trickster mod kernel settings. you can make many of the changes you find in custom roms with this.

not sure how much its really worth it. the speed and battery life improvement arent to big. this isnt like my nexus 7, which get scary fast once i have a new kernal and dalvik patches installed.

maybe once.if a custom kernel comes out, and i can add a few more changes, like UV things, it would be worth rooting more.

In terms of applications that have root access on my note pro right now I have:

Button Savior
File Manager HD
Gesture Navigation (an Xposed Module)
Greenify
Pen Window Manager
StickMount
Titanium Backup
USB OTG Helper
Wanam Xposed
Xposed Installer


I've posted a list of Xposed modules that I'm running here.

I agree about what has been said with regards to root and its impact to speed and battery life; there are tangible benefits but not to the degree that other devices with less RAM and slower CPUs would see. Between what I have frozen and what I keep from loading at startup using boot manager I start off on cold boot with about 1.4GB of available RAM (1.30 taken). Responsiveness to me is improved but it could be placebo. Battery life is more about managing wake locks and background process. For that you don't really need root, its more of an app selection and app settings issue.

For me the speed thing is not as important on this device as are the customization benefits. Button Savior and Gesture Navigation alone make landscape use in hand a lot easier. Having custom app settings, ad blocking and visual tweaks like tinted status bar are icing on the cake.

Gesture Navigation (an Xposed Module)

How does this compare to GMD gesture control. Seems GMD has more customization. But i never tried Gest Nav .... TZ

Gesture Nav doesn't have as many features as GMD and is probably lighter on resources as a result though I'm not positive on that. When Kitkat rolled out for my Nexus 4 I immediately went to ART and didn't wait around for GMD to update to support it (though it did after a short wait) so I haven't used GMD in about 6 months.

I find myself using very little by way of gestures anyway so I'm using the free version of Gesture Navigation and merely using it to bring up things like search, settings, recent apps tray, a quick way to do a "back" command and a couple of frequent applications like my lastpass app, lecturenotes and a file manager.

I'd say stick with what you know if you already have it set up.
