Best Root Applications for YOUR Rooted Android
This is going to be a LIST soon. So you can browse to a ton of root applications and find what you really need.
Please help me with this by commenting an unmentioned root application.
Please note that the following applications are NOT IN ORDER
1. Greenify - Sometimes your android battery really drains without knowing the reason. If you have experienced leaving your android on a 77% battery in the evening and in the next morning you'll find it on 42% or something like that. Well say no more, because this app can save your battery life by hibernating those battery draining applications with one simple click, or you can just put the app into Auto-Hibernation mode. All you have to do is to register the application that is draining your battery life and you'll see Greenify do its magic.
2. Titanium Backup - The free version has all of your basic needs when it comes to backing up, with the PRO version of this you can unlock a lot of extra feature. Other than that this application really does the trick when you want to back up your applications, might be the best backup app in the Play Store.
3. Xposed - Hate flashing ROMs? Want extra features on your android? Got KitKat only but want to have Android M and N features? Then this is for you mate! I mean you don't want to feel outdated right? You can browse inside it and find modules the suites your wants, from customizing your androids looks, getting extra tweaks and more. Has tons of them and i ain't joking.
4. Flashify - FLASH EM ALL! If you always tend to flash zip files, boot images or if you even want to flash TWRP or CWM recovery then look no further The FLASHify is here. uhh.. get it? no? k then
5. Boot Animations - Gotten tired of the boot animation of yours? Yes i know that you have been seeing that for years, if you want to make that animation of yours cool then download this app, it has tons of animations inside, feel free to browse em, although you ought to be careful when your about to change your animation as you might get stuck in a bootloop.
6. GL Tools - Anyone have a low end device? Need to play a High Spec Game? Then try this app. The magic it does is to simply render the game as low as possible in order to make it run faster. You can also fake your device into Tegra or something like those in order to play the games smoothly. Some people saw the changes on their game that it became faster, while some did not experienced any changes. I myself am using this and i can really tell that it does have difference than running the game without GL Tools.
7. Roehsoft RAM Expander - Gonna ask again anyone still have a low end device? Fret not my friend, this app is for you. If you happen to have a Class 4 SD Card or above then try this app. It creates a Virtual Memory that will run when the internal RAM needs to "take the load off". You'll see the difference i tell you than without this app but only if that SD card of yours is Class 4 or above or otherwise, no effect at all.
8. Busy Box - EVERY ROOTED APPLICATION NEEDS THIS AND THATS THAT.
9. Root Browser - It ain't the browser you think. Its a File browser. This app can go deep into the system whether your a developer yourself and you want to get some extra tweaks or that root of yours got into some problem. You can use this app to also edit them or put something new into the android system however you also need to have an experience at this or simply that you must know what you're doing.
10. Set CPU - Its back! Yes the developer came back (Same goes for me. Sorry for the hiatus of the thread ) Anyways SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU frequency to the way you like. It can improve your performance, battery or you can improve both of them. I personally used this app way back and yes it really does save battery and it increases the android performance by using some set profiles.
11. Kernel Adiutor - Has some features like Set CPU but this app is packed with more. Most of the feature has of course, have something to do with the android kernel. It also has some extra features like the init. d editor (good for tweaking )
12. Amplify - MORE BATTERY LIFE! Yes you heard that right, this app blocks unnecessary wakelocks which is the culprit in draining that battery of yours. Well worry no more, just install the app and it will do the rest. Buying the other version has some extra features in which you can edit certain numbers.
13. Viper4Android - What this app does is to basically improve the sound output of the android device to make it more seemingly pleasant to your liking. Has tons of options. Check it out
14. System App Remover - App name says it all
15. Super SU - Do i really have to put the description?
Smashing that "Thanks" Button is fine
Some additional hints:
dev.wes07 said:
Rom manager --> Try Flashify instead as is provides more usefull recovery features
ROEHSOFT RAM-EXPANDER (SWAP) - really?! Costs much, may boost performance slightly. Every custom kernel will do better for free.
Root Browser (File Manager) - Use Total Commander instead
GLTools [root] (gfx optimizer) - Does not support most of the android devices
System App Remover - Titanium Backup has this feature already included
P.S. Post other rooted apps if I missed an important one.

I just sharing my setup for getting maximum from my one plus 6 battery without compromising performance and notification acess.
AFTER FULL TESTING I CAN SUERLY SAY EVERYTHING IS PERFECT I AM FRUSTRATED USER AFTER BUYING ONE PLUS 6 I NEVER GOT FULL DAY BATTERY PHONE DIES IN 10 HR AND 4 TO 5HR SOT.
MY SCREENSHOT SHOWING EVERYTHING NO FAKE NOTHING.
Video guide:
https://youtu.be/BKcZPNqahS0
REQUIREMENT :
1)Rooted
2)TWRP installed
3)Magisk installed
1) Flash magisk based extreme battery friendly ROM:
After installing xxx nolimits ROM finally i come to conclusion that this ROM is combination of performance and battery tweaks which does the 40% job done in our battery saving target
Now this rom is magisk based u have to download and flash magisk based rom zip from following thread if u want to change aspects for what to install what not to be download xxx no limits profile and edit it using filexplorer put it at root of sd card before flashing ROM.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xxx-nolimits-1-0-speed-ram-optimized-t3799167
This rom comes with all tweaks to save battery default which includes.
>battery savings build prop properties
>disabling playstore wake locks
>debolting(IF U WANT TO DELBOLT U R OOS ROM AT EXTREME LEVEL U HAVE TO CHANGE xxx no limits profile app that u want to remove just enable debolting by typing 1) NOTE: I AM NOT USING ANY DEBOLTING OF APPS
2)Franco kernel :
Suerly this kernel is god of battery savings kernels and its now available for one Plus 6
Combination of this kernel with NO LIMITS rom is just awesome.
Just flash this kernel in recovery after flashing xxx no limits rom
After reboot go to
> franko kernel updater app > Settings > performance profile > select power saving profile
U can also use balanced profile

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_vB4qW9_eKszlvgT0n5D4Dw
3)BLACKING OUT ROM:
So our phone got amoled screen so we can use this panel to maximize u r battery as per one survey amoled screen with maximum blacked out screen helps SOT to increase up to 2-3 hr and i tested it.
>Use best theme with total backed out link of
Swift black theme given in video description
Or u can download it from play store
OR U CAN USE OZONE SUBTRATUM THEMES WHICH COMES WITH XXX NO LIMITS ROM
>Install theme via subtratum and subtratum app is already available in no limits ROM.
4)ENABLE DOZE MODE FOR GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE :
First u have to check weather u r play services is using doze mode or not
Go to settings >battery> search for play services>see at bottom if its showing using battery optimization then. No need to follow this step
Other wise use this magisk module
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TUkuYZB8XOahwJI4SAeqqhVCS46tjiQe/view?usp=drivesdk
Download module>go to magisk app> go to modules in left tab> click + icon at bottom then select file u have downloaded
It will get flashed automatically in magisk app then reboot.
5)USE greenify :
Download and enable greenify for most of apps that u don't use except apps like whatsapp, instagram as we need these apps regularly in touch.
(follow video steps in settings)
https://greenify.en.uptodown.com/android
6)MINOR setup :
> WIFI:
Go to settings > wifi> wifi preferences>advanced>Disable always on wifi scanning and disable keep wifi on during sleep
> Disable all vibrations
>Disable autobrrightness mode.
>disable sceen auto rotate mode from Settings
>Disable ambient display
Thats it after all u will get all U r performance without compromising U r battery and notifications.
I will post results with screenshot sooon.....
what repercussions could it have to doze play services? missing notifications or anything?

Yes. You'll have to open each app to start the sync.
Only reason why I haven't kicked play sevices from my device. Some apps even use their own notification system but many rely on these services and that is a PIA.
Thanks but might as well put the phone in the drawer and don't use it.

I'm not sure about this setup. Way to many compromises.
From my experience when you get strong cellular signal and will remove all unnecessary activities, it enough to increase battery performance.
I'm getting better battery then the OP showed in photos. I only turn off all the Google account syncing and just sync contacts and calendar when I make changes. Restrict background data on apps that don't need it. I allow messaging apps, email and anything I need the download in the background like my browser. I'm getting 9 hours sot with 40 hours off charge with combined drain of 1.9%-3.4%. and I'm not neutering my phone like that.

Yeah good point here my result with a good signal and actually no tweak just flashed elementalx kernel or flash kernel ...

In 8 hr of SOT i continously used my phone mainly i edited my youtube video for complete 2hr using KINEMASTER this apps is major battery sucking app. I made the video uploaded to youtube, used wifi whole the day, using two whatsapp parellel apps syncronizing for each and every second as lots of messages. I never restricting baground process for any app, and not disabling sync of google account. Used camera lots a time, etc
I just installed the ROM and and kerbel from thread and blacked out my theme nothing else, extra tweaks given for major impact.
So its the matter of use what u r using and how u using , if u uses phone mainly for Gaming and heavy tasks then no tweak can work then how can u say u r better.

Your right, it is how you use your phone, but if I use my phone continuously, I have gotten over 13 hours. And WiFi is cheating on battery as it consumes less battery then LTE data signal, I'm never on WiFi... 100% always on data. I usually have 2+ hours of calls, YouTube throughout the day, Whatsapp with Photos and voice along with video, 30-50 emails a day with replies about 2 hours of web surfing. This is a typical day of work as 80% of that is for work. So not a gamer but I am a pretty heavy user throughout the day.
And you talk about Extreme Battery Tweaks and you don't do the simplest things like restrict background data on apps that have no need or business constantly syncing with nothing to sync? Seems odd.
Again based on your photo of usage... that shows significantly less use then what I do and still get more battery without Neutering my phone. You have nothing but your screen on, it's all phone idle and Android OS and Android system and cell standby all higher then any app or anything else. If mine looked like that I'd have 12 hours sot or more.
Oh and this was a light day as I was already heading home at 1:30pm today. I was more showing you my averages.

This is truly true. I also found out, that it makes a difference between watching a black screen and performing heavy tasks. Until now I was not totally sure, but you convinced me in this point. Thanks a lot.
Also thank you for your valuable contribution to this forum. I refer to #1:
Since you obviously know a lot about different tweaks of different roms and how they exactly work, could you perhaps elaborate on that? I would like to know how exactly the battery saving tweaks work, especially when compared to them of other roms. Also, how exactly the franco kernel performs so battery friendly compared to other kernels. For example, which settings do you apply (except “powersaving-mode”) and which tweaks of this kernel are responsible for this behavior compared to other kernels. Furthermore, why a franken-, flash- or other kernel are not battery-saving to the same extent.
As far as I understand, the combination xXx No Limits and Franco is the only correct one, if I understood #1 correctly (concerning battery life of course). This suggests that you also know other combinations. Please substantiate your claim and go deeper in your explanations to understand your modest determination correctly, as you really seem to know much about this topic.
Thank you again for sharing your expertise with us.
hi, I have rooted my oneplus 6 running on OOS 5.1.9. I have flashed the franco kernel. After installing the franco kernel updater its showing that my device is not supported. Also it doesnt show any performance profile in the menu. Cant you please help me in this regard? here are the screenshots:

Guys i switched to liquid remix rom and its insanely battery friendly rom, give that rom a try along with tweaks.
Definitely mind blowing
I did not use any of this and I still can get 6.5hrs of SOT, without compromising anything,(not even using black theme).

Hello guys,
I am happy to share some ways to decrease battery drain for which is problem for most poco stock miui non root users:
1- Go to every app you don't want on background (always active) and make it (restricted backgroud activity) through Settings-Manage app-choose your app-battery saver
2- For system app: you can do the same by going Settings-Manage app-choose your app-permissions-information icon-battery-choose first option and then restrict app
3- Network signals some times drains battery alot, you could decrease it by changing network bands by the following:
Go to dialer and write (*#*#4636#*#*)-phone information-set preferred network-choose LTE\CDMA\UMTS auto prl (tested on global rom was good), note that you need to change it again after every reboot
4- Disable adaptive limit battery option through Setting-battery&perfomance
5-Activate force close button through Setting-additional setting-buttons&gestures-close current app and choose shortcut you want, then at any app you should force close when you are finished with it.
6- Go to every MIUI app and disable automatic updates and recommendation receive
7- Disable location when you are finished through Setting-additional settings-privacy-location and also disable wifi scanning after every disable
8- Go to Google app through Settings-Google and disable every activity on it as you can
9- Install Greenify app from store and work with (non root device) and hibernate all apps you don't need as background
10- Disable automatic brightness, and also decrease the brightness as you can to save power
11- Go to settings-additional settings-privacy-special access-Battery optimization and then make all apps (optimized)
12-Go to settings-additional settings-authorization&revocation and then disable all apps except (updater-system app updater-feedback-battery&performance-Xiaomi sim activation-settings)
I hope these steps could help you and I'm waiting your comments for additional ways or correcting anything
Any review or test results ?
Just wondering wtf is even benefit of 4000mah battery if we need to disable every single app to get battery life. It's their optimisation not good with the latest stable build of miui

Its not their thing its an android thing. It gets heavier with every update, and since they (its a good thing gone bad) made a lot of those updates standalone of android version it makes like old tablets unusable over the yeras unlike them ipads.
That being said, the advantage of having 4000mah battery is that you still get through every day and have more than the usual midrange 3000mah phone. I get through any day for weeks now even playing games. The tips in this thread are awesome and apply to any phone.
I might as well advise you to clean your USB type-c port once in a while with toothpick since dusts can cause unnecessary wakelocks to your device

Hi magaedy, this list is very useful thank you very much.
Thanks to a RF detector, i found out that my Poco was emitting very often without being sollicited, now I know what to try first.

Hi magaedy, no, the Pocophone F1 has nothing special regarding its RF electromagnetic radiation, it is just that I own one and that I can do some tests with it. In terms of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), the Poco even complies with the FCC threshold which is the most stringent.
As a personal point view, i would just avoid to keep it onto my body when i must upload big files, or onto my head for long phone calls, especially when i'm not sure about the RF coverage (bad coverage implies that the mobile emits at its full power, which is e.g. 2 watts in GSM 900).
Depending on my LED light, now I can tell for sure

I would also wanted to add some battery saving tips:
1. Stick to only one, either Google or MIUI, cloud sync provider then disable everything you don't need on the other.
2. Go to Settings -> Permissions -> Other permissions -> Permissions (tab) -> Start in Background. Only choose the apps that you wanted permissions to receive notifications or third-party sync apps regularly. Others should be disabled. (IDK if this conflicts with MIUI's battery saver but I did it anyway).
3. Disable Double tap to wake or enable it in combination with pocket mode.
4. Put your phone on your pocket with display facing your leg. Prevents false trigger of FP scanner.
I have another suggestion. If using a custom ROM, don't install GApps. Instead use MicroG . I haven't done a side by side comparison, and I'll admit my usage today has been fairly lite, but so far my battery life is great!
I'm running the latest AOSiP ROM.

If you also flash the f-droid zip, you should also install the f-droid extension module through Magisk.
Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing fine. I just updated to Android 10, coming from AICP Pie, and I noticed that battery life took a serious hit compared to AICP. Now I know that AICP (and probably many other custom ROMs) use EAS by default, which could be credited for the great performance and battery life you get with these setups. This didn't stop me from conducting some tests and experimenting with some changes in order to try and improve the battery life I am getting on Android 10 (and possibly all previous versions of the stock ROM). Anyway, without further ado, here is a script that tweaks the phone a little, which should improve your phone's battery life on STOCK ROMs, mainly Android 10 but it is also applicable to Android 9, though I have mainly tested it on Android 10 and the deprecated developer previews and beta builds of Android 10. A link to download the script is provided down below, right below the prerequisites and instructions.
Prerequisites
1- An Essential PH-1 (of course!)
2- Magisk (make sure to have the latest version installed)
3- A terminal emulator app -- I use this one here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
4- Any file manager app.
Instructions
1- Download the script from the link below.

Sounds interesting and I'd like to try it. I don't know if you know this though, but the file on Google Drive is set to "ask permission" to download it.

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing fine. I just updated to Android 10, coming from AICP Pie, and I noticed that battery life took a serious hit compared to AICP. Now I know that AICP (and probably many other custom ROMs) use EAS by default, which could be credited for the great performance and battery life you get with these setups. This didn't stop me from conducting some tests and experimenting with some changes in order to try and improve the battery life I am getting on Android 10 (and possibly all previous versions of the stock ROM). Anyway, without further ado, here is a script that tweaks the phone a little, which should improve your phone's battery life on STOCK ROMs, mainly Android 10 but it is also applicable to Android 9, though I have mainly tested it on Android 10 and the deprecated developer previews and beta builds of Android 10. A link to download the script is provided down below, right below the prerequisites and instructions.
Prerequisites
1- An Essential PH-1 (of course!)
2- Magisk (make sure to have the latest version installed)
3- A terminal emulator app -- I use this one here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
4- Any file manager app.
Instructions
1- Download the script from the link below.
2- For more convenience, move the script you just downloaded to the root of your internal storage (/sdcard) using any file manager if your choice.
3- Open the terminal emulator app.
4- Type "su" (without the quotes) and hit the enter/return key on your keyboard to grant it root access (Magisk could display a pop-up window asking whether you want to grant this app root access. Make sure to tap in Grant. This usually happens once).
5- Afterwards, type "sh /sdcard/essential-tweaks" (without quotes) and hit the enter/return key on your keyboard to execute the script.

Neat...
A kranel tweaker...
In my opinion:
The damn powerhint is probably the worst offender to battery...
Currently, with magisk, I just remove /vendor/etc/powerhint.xml
I am also using kernel touchboost so I can idle down to 300...
If your battery doesn't suck... You can switch back to 518 and 806 for minimum frequencies, disable msm touchboost, and kill the powerhint... And get MUCH closer to where you were with AICP on Pie

Is that similar to disabling perfd?
Because that is what I did (and incidentally what my script does).
Thanks a lot for your suggestion!

No sir...
The powerhint has something to do with the PowerHals directly...
You'll notice if you watch any frequency monitor that when you touch the screen... It jumps to 1.1Ghz on both big and little ... That's NUTS...
It also will run the processor at 1.9 and 2.5 for 5 seconds on app launch... Also CRAZY and unnecessary
Perfd controls the profiles in /vendor/etc/... I think there's 8 of em...
And like mpdecision before it... It sucks...
On a side:
I've been on Q since beta 2... And have put together a magisk module that cuts frequencies down... 1.8 Max for little and 2.0 for big... Kills perfd... Kills the powerhint by replacing with a 0 byte file... Ups zram to 1 GB... And puts touchboost to 825 and 499...
I just incorporated your scheduler changes and I'll let you know what I come up with...
If you're interested in the module ... I'll share it .. just let me know
Edit: @KuranKaname approves the frequency choices BTW

Yes I know about the max frequency values. These used to be the default in Kuran's AICP too
Interesting, so you mean to say that this is completely different from perfd? Well, I only disabled perfd and I am not seeing the phone jumping back to 1.1GHz while interacting with the screen or locking on max frequencies while launching apps.
Also, what command are you using to disable perfd on Q? I just found out that the usual "stop perfd" command is not working anymore like it used to on Pie :/
I used EXKM to disable it and it works just fine :good:
Let me know if my sched tweaks bring any further improvements to you. Cheers!
EDIT: these input boost frequency values used to be the ones Sultanxda go for too iirc right?

OHHHH...
Are you using service.d to run your script?
If so... You need
while [ "$(getprop sys.boot_completed)" != 1 ];
do sleep 1;
done
sleep 5
Before... Otherwise init gonna reset your stuff...
And post-fs-data.d is WAAY too early
So I have been doing a lot of tracing and testing some new changes and, well, I think it is very difficult to squeeze any more battery life on stock ROMs. Which means that it is highly unlikely that this script is going to be updated with new additions as this is practically the best we could reach at the moment. However, I will keep digging deep and see if I can come up with any updates.
To put things into perspective, here is a quick comparison with the default stock ROM tunings.
By default, I would get an average active drain of 14%/h per charge cycle, peaking at 16%/h
After applying this script the average active drain rate would drop to around 12-13%/h, peaking at 15%/h.
In other words, there is around 1-2%/h improvement in active drain rate as per my usage.
Idle drain rate is fairly similar though.

hello. Thanks for your work. It's nice and works very well.
How I can add this script to autorun?
P.S. Here is screenshots of my battery life after tweaks
@Mostafa Wael Hey mate, do you remember what the experiment was that you wanted to do recently ?
Was meant to help with smoothness and battery on Android 10?

I really don't have any idea, I just run then every time after boot via terminal emulator ?

Well, it was a desperate attempt by me to try and squeeze more juice on Android 10 custom ROMs, not sure it will work out on stock ROM. Basically, I am experimenting with different values for the cpusets and stune settings of each cgroup.
I'm still evaluating whether it has a significant impact or not. So far, it is almost the same...

If you're running Artemis... You're wasting you're time...
Military Dictator @KuranKaname does not allow for the powerhal to accept adjustments from stune other than what HE deems required ...
You MIGHT be able to adjust scheduler values and have them mean something ...

I'm using elementalx kernel on android 10 nov update, and my battery drain in deep sleep is unusually high at 2 - 2.5% per hour.
I'm wondering if this script conflicts with anything with the kernel.
I took a look at the script and it looks like some of the settings I can apply in the kernel manager.
Hi,
Still here with other questions for optimize my phone. (N20U rooted with android 12 , custom rom & kernel, tweekspro etc etc)
Reading around how to preserve the longest efficiency of the battery I would like set the interval where the phone must work.
I know that the optimum interval is 20% - 85% for the maximum numbers of cycles.
In Android 12 is possible to set the maximum value: settings > battery > more battery settings > battery protection (to enable to 85%). This work well. (I can achieve this also with ThunderTweaks).
How can I set the minimum percentage after the which it power off ? (ex at 20%)
Thanks for the tips!

You can try using the Tasker app, it can be used to set up virtually any automated task that you can think of.
Tnx Droid , I already seen this workaround but because I'm not a coder this would be a little complicated.
This feature for "extend" the battery life should be a common features . Is strange no one have already published something about it. (if at the end I will not found any alternative solution I'll have to dig in tasker)

Tasker is pretty much your only option. I don't know of any other methods of setting up automated processes with conditions of activation, I've been a member here for many years and haven't seen any other tricks to do what you want. If there is another method here, its very obscure and more complicated than Tasker.

Hei Droid , I have news about this :
by Dr.Ketan - I have made a app couple of yrs ago, deep discharge protection (search xda) tool. Will do similar job. I may add to Tweaks next version
Click to expand...

So I will search this app and wait for the integration. I'll update this 3d.
Hi Droid,
In the mean while Ketan will post the missing apk from his 3d ( I suppose he is really busy ) :
[09.01.18][G95*][N950] Deep Discharge Protection V1.2
Deep Discharge Protection Tool You might knowing about Deep discharge issue reported on S8/S8+/N8 devices This tool simply switch off device when battery level reaches to 12% to prevent accidental Deep Discharge (While you are sleeping ;) )...

I found a nice app that accomplish the same task "LBS(root)":
LBS(root) - Apps on Google Play
Shutdown your devices on low battery level.
play.google.com
I didn't have a playstore account so I downloaded it from Apkpure:
https://apkpure.com/lbs-root/com.yuandroid.low.battery.shutdown
Tested LBS. Unfortunately the app is too old for andorid 12. The developer told that would update the app for make it compatible. Right now this app reboot the device instead of turning it off.
