Most of you might be very much familiar with the rooting procedure. Its the process of giving yourself superuser permissions (ex - administrator in windows xp ).
If you are using a custom rom, then there is no need to specifically root your phone. But if you are using stock roms, then there is a guide to root in the forums.
Once rooted, you can now take your own decisions for your device which include improving system performance or flashing custom roms using cwm recovery or using any of these below listed apps. Use it wisely, as playing with your device performance can have damaging effects.
I AM NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE BY YOU.
Moving on, many of the rooted-on-stock and custom rom users might already know most of these apps and their uses, so this thread is for the beginners who have just rooted their devices.
Further, most of these apps are available in the playstore (mostly paid, but if you want the cracked versions, you can find them in the internet.
So here are some of the apps that might be useful for you. I will also update this apps list as soon as, I find more useful apps.

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear.
For discussion and support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
- MANUAL -
Flashing with Mobile ODIN is easy. You start by starting the app and the app will check your system has everything it needs to continue (like root). It may need to download an additional package, so it is advised you have Wi-Fi available.
Now you should see the main Mobile ODIN screen. It will list a set of partitions. Clicking a partition will allow you to select a file from your SD card to flash to that partition. Do not worry about selecting the wrong file - Mobile ODIN will not let you. Separate files (named after the partition) as well as .tar and .tar.md5 files are supported.
From the desktop ODIN you may be used to "PDA", "PHONE", and "CSC" buttons. All three of these buttons have been replaced by the "Open file ..." button. This button will open the file you select from the SD card, and find all the partitions it can flash inside that file. So if you select a .tar file containing kernel and modem, the Kernel and Modem partitions will be set up to use that .tar file for flashing.
Now that we have selected what we want to flash, if you have the Pro version you can proceed to the EverRoot section. The EverRoot options allows you to root your firmware while it is being flashed. Never again will you be without root! Select here which apps you want to inject in the firmware that is being flashed.
Now that we are all done selecting partitions and configuring EverRoot, we continue to "Flash firmware". Mobile ODIN will gather all the information it needs and perform the flash. Before starting, however, it will check that your battery level is over 50%, and if applicable offer to verify MD5 checksums on the files you have selected to flash. If all is well, it will reboot into recovery mode, and flash the firmware you have selected.

SETCPU for Root Users
Description
Supercharge your Android device with SetCPU. A must-have tool for root users.
SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings on a rooted Android phone or tablet, including the Galaxy Nexus, HTC One series, Nexus S, Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy series, and most other devices. You're under control: SetCPU can improve your performance, save battery, or both!
Automate SetCPU with profiles! SetCPU allows you to set up powerful profiles to change your settings under certain conditions, such as what app is running, when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, when the phone's temperature is too high, or during certain times of day. See the screenshots for examples of how you might set up profiles.
SetCPU's wide feature set make it useful to Android beginners and enthusiasts alike. Accelerate your processor to unleash your phone's true multitasking potential, or dial your CPU's speed down to save battery.
SetCPU also includes a "voltage control" menu, available to certain devices with custom kernels that support it, to control undervolting to save even more battery. Keep in mind that undervolting is only available for certain kernels.
Recent Changes:
Additional permission: Read logs is used for efficient app condition checking. That is currently all it's used for.
3.0.0:
Profiles tab
- Completely rewrote profiles.
- Older profiles will automatically be converted into new profiles.
- Added app and day of week in addition to the older conditions, and more are coming.
- Profiles now support combining conditions under logical trees, with nestable "and," "or," and "not" operators available. It is now possible to easily build complex profiles that take the place of multiple profiles in the older version.
- Actions can now be selected individually.
- Profiles can now be marked as "non-exclusive," which means they will not block profiles with lower priorities from evaluating. In this case, the profiles with lower priorities will perform only actions which have not been performed by profiles with higher priorities. SetCPU will keep evaluating profiles until it reaches an "exclusive" profile that evaluates as true.
- All number selectors in profiles are now in the style of the frequency selector in the main tab.
- The new file extension for exported profile settings is ".setcpu.json."
- To prevent ambiguous situations, it's no longer possible to select priorities that have been used by other profiles.
- The CPU temperature sensor on OMAP4 and some other devices should now be supported for profiles. The option will appear if available.
- Notifications are now set as an action per profile and can now be non-persistent.
- SetCPU will still use the main screen as a "default profile" to set if no other profiles are active. It is now possible to specify an alternate default profile by creating an exclusive profile with no conditions at priority 0.
- SetCPU now asks for a file name before backing up profiles to storage.
- It is now possible to share profiles without having the internal/external storage mounted.
Main tab
- IO scheduler selection has been added via a drop down menu in the main tab.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where the short benchmark always reported 0 ms.
- Fixed the labels in the pie graph in system info.
- Fixed some common crashes.
Permissions:
Root: SetCPU needs root permissions to modify the CPU speed and other settings.
Start at boot: SetCPU will start a profiles service at boot, if enabled. It also sets default boot settings, if enabled. SetCPU does not run in the background if profiles are not enabled, and becomes inactive after settings, if any, are applied.
Wake lock: This prevents the phone from sleeping while stress testing and benchmarking.
Write external storage: SetCPU needs to read from and write to the SD card or internal storage to back up profiles.
Read phone state: The "in call" condition needs this to determine if the user is making a phone call or not, and trigger the profile if the user wants to.

[root] CHAINFIRE3D
Description
Chainfire3D - Take control of your GPU (OpenGL) !
Take control over your GPU!
Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.
!! For Froyo and Gingerbread ONLY. NOT COMPATIBLE with Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean !!
!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!
!! ROOT is required for this program, as well as a writable /system partition. S-OFF is also required on HTC devices !!
Features include reducing texture size and quality to reduce memory use and potentially increase game performance, as well as increasing memory use potentially increase performance.
If you also install the (experimental) EGL driver, AND your GPU supports it, AND you have the Pro version, you can enable 4xMSAA or 16xMSAA on a per-app bases. This can drastically improve image quality!
Be sure to check the thread on XDA for available plugins !
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427 )
Chainfire3D has been tested on:
- HTC HD2
- Samsung Galaxy S
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
- Samsung Galaxy S II
- Samsung Galaxy Note
- Samsung Epic 4G
- Motorola Atrix 4G
- Motorola Droid 2
- LG Optimus 2X
- Google Nexus S
Many users are running Chainfire3D on devices not listed here - it's likely to work on all modern devices. So far nobody has reported a failed install, so that's good. Doesn't mean problems can't happen.
!! There is some risk involved installing the driver. Your device may not boot. If you have CWM, it would be prudent to create a backup before installing !!
SUPER SU
Description

SUPERUSER
This is meant to replace Superuser (if installed), you use either one or the other. You cannot combine them. Statements that this breaks Superuser are therefore completely nonsensical.
NOTICE: A SPECIAL PROCEDURE IS NEEDED FOR UNINSTALLATION. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE APP, DO *NOT* JUST UNINSTALL IT, YOU *WILL* LOSE ROOT.
Superuser access management runs through a so called "su binary". There can be only one of these at a time. So if you install SuperSU, your previous superuser access management solution will no longer operate. So if you want to switch back: (1) Open that application, and search for an option for it to install/update/replace the "su binary". (2) Confirm root-using apps are using the superuser solution you want. (3) Uninstall SuperSU.

BATTERY CALIBRATION
Description
Calibrate your battery when you think it's miscalibrated.
Requirements: Android 2.1+ | Root permissions
Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM, but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed.
It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break.
The app shows your actual battery status, and only allows you to start the calibration (i.e. removes the file) when it's fully charged, unless you force earlier calibration.
The voltage meter can be useful too. Full charge is around 4200mV.
There is an option to beep when 100% is reached so you don't have to closley follow the changes.

Sixaxis Controller
Description
*** Caution: This app is not for the faint-hearted!! ***
Please read all instructions carefully.
Not all devices are supported, therefore it is strongly recommended that you try the 'Sixaxis Compatibility Checker' (available for free in the Android Market) before purchasing this app.
Finally the wait is over... The ultimate gaming experience awaits! Now you can play games on your phone the way they were meant to be played! Sixaxis Controller allows you to use your Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers in many of your favourite games and applications.
*** IMPORTANT ***
- ROOT access is required!!!
- Due to the way pairing is done with the controllers, you need to manually pair your controller with the PC utility 'SixaxisPairTool' (available on the website) and a mini-USB cable. Android 3.1+ users can also pair directly on their devices via USB.
- It is highly recommended that you use an ORIGINAL controller. Many after market controllers will not work with this app. If you get a 'Client connected: 1' message, but the lights on your controller continue to flash, it is almost certainly not an original Sony controller.
- Be sure to read the instructions in the help menu carefully.
Features:
- Up to four Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers supported at once.
- Support as a native gamepad in Android 3.1+ devices. Full support for analog sticks and analog triggers.
- Keyboard emulation. Map all buttons and sticks to almost any key available in Android.
- Mouse emulation. Configure a button to activate the mouse pointer on devices that support mice (most tablets, and many phones should work).
- Touch emulation allows you to map buttons and analog sticks to the screen. Play all your favourite games with full analog support, even those without built-in controller support!

All executions run over vt100 terminal accepting user input and esc codes (colors, bel, cursor movement ..)
Run them at boot-up and on network status change possibility.
Schedule at selected time. (cron jobs)
Show graphical dialogs from running process.
Create widgets at desktop.
Edit and create scripts, also create them from url.
Insert code in your scripts using QR codes.

nice thread
updated nov 03 with script manager and faster fix
Hello Everybody,
I have been surprised nobody addressed the need for backup and restore app data of secondary user accounts in Android 4.2+ Jelly Bean/KitKat yet. I present you a back up/restore solution for the apps and data in all accounts. It is laborious but it works. Until we get proper support from Titanium or Carbon, this is the only way AFAIK.
Disclaimer:
I provide no warranty for this procedure. It just worked for me, but I haven't tested it extensively with many devices nor apps.
Requirements:
Titanium Backup and Titanium Backup PRO Key ★ root
Total Commander for Android (you can use any file manager which suits you, I prefer TC because it preserves the permissions and UID/GID of overwritten files).
Intermediate knowledge of Android file system, root etc. You need to understand all these steps (they are not that complicated).
__________________________________________________
Backup:
1) Activate Multiple profiles in Titanium Backup (Overview tab, bottom of the screen, above the free space progress bars) and add profiles - as many as you need/want (one for every device User Accounts). Let's say "Main User, "User2", ... Activate one (the one you'll use for your own data ("Main User" for instance)).
1.5) Backup in Titanium the app you want to backup - just in case something goes wrong in next steps. However, this will preserve only your main user data at this moment.
2) Activate the profiles for the app you want to backup - in the tab Backup/Restore, tap on the Application, scroll the window to the right and click 'Enable "multiple profiles" for this app'. Confirm assignment of "Main User" to the current data profile.
3) Switch the Titanium Backup profile into another one (pick one you want to use to hold the data for the secondary user, let's say "User2") - again, on the Overview tab, at the bottom of the screen.
4) Now the difficult part - run the Total Commander, open in the left panel: Root /, /data/data/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush (use namespace of the app you want to backup)
You should see .data_profile directory there. If you don't, you haven't activated the profiles properly, don't proceed further until you do!
5) Switch to the right panel, open Root /, /data/user
You'll see a subdirectory "0" (linked -> /data/data, that's the main User Account BTW) and some other number(s) (10, ...), one for every other device User Account account. If you have only one secondary account, you'll see only "0" (mentioned above) and "10". If you have more accounts, I don't know how to find out which number is which account at the moment. You'll have to experiment here.
Navigate into the user's subdirectory (let's say "10"), find the same package (for instance /data/user/10/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush) and then copy the content (select the files and folders by tapping their icons) to the panel on the left (simply click copy and that's it)
6) Repeat the steps 3) 4) 5) for all the users you want to backup
7) Repeat steps 1.5) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) for all the apps you want to backup
8) TEST - Switch profiles on the Overview tab in Titanium and run the app(s) in every profile. Check, if the app/game really has different data in different profiles and that it matches the data from the other accounts. If they don't or the app crashes, the copying went wrong (or the permissions / UID/GIDs of the target are wrong - switch to the main account, check the permissions, UID, GID of files in /data/data/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush by long tapping them, selecting properties. These are the values that should be set to the copied files from step 5) - repeat the steps and override them. Are you using Total Commander?)
9) Backup the app using Titanium (it includes all profiles this time)
__________________________________________________
Restore:
1) Restore the app using Titanium and check that all the Titanium profiles are working (switch the profiles and run the app/game with them to see if the data differ)
2) Create the user account in the system (Preferrably one at a time, create more (another one) after successfull restore - this will help you find out what is the user account number (/data/user/10/...) of which Device User Account)
3) Activate the Titanium Backup Data Profile of the user you want to restore from.
4) Install the app in the secondary account(s) - optionally you can use Multi-User App Share
5) Switch to the secondary account first and run the app (the one you want to restore) once, to recreate all the configuration files etc.
6) Switch back to the main account, run Total Commander
7) Open in the left panel: Root /, /data/user/10 (again, experiment with the account numbers here, 10 is usually the first secondary account; if you are creating secondary account one by one as recommended in step 1), you should know which one is the new one (0 is always the main user, BTW)). Navigate to the directory of the app you want to restore, /data/user/10/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush for instance. Check some of the files here with long tap, properties - remember the UID and GID and permissions (just to be safe).
8) Open in the right panel: Root /, /data/data/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush (again, use namespace of the app you want to restore)
9) Select all the files there and copy them to the left panel (again, simply mark all files by tapping their icons followed by clicking copy at the bottom)
10) Check the files in the left panel with long tap, Properties - check if the permissions, UID and GID match the values from step 7). Should be. If not, change it to match values from 7).
11) Repeat 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) for every User Account
12) Repeat all steps for all the applications you want to restore. Of course you won't be adding the Device User Accounts again (nevertheless you should know the Account numbers by now).
Hope this helps, good luck.

I've been waiting for this since I got the tablet. Thanks a lot. Now I can flash a many Roms as I want yay! I'll attempt this on the weekend when I flash a ROM and see if it works.

And if I'm lock, stock and no root, I'm lost, am I?

Much needed feature
But unfortunately has been ignored (kinda) by devs like T.B. May be because it's only for tablets which are very less compared to phone market
Now in LP also phones has the multiple user accounts so it would indeed be nice to be able to do this. Especially without root.

Without root you can't use titanium backup
Can't find data/user/10 folder
hi I'm on nexus 7 2013, android 4.4.4 titanium backup 7.0.1.1
I'm trying to use profile data I created 7 profiles when going to data/data I see all the profiles no problem
When going to data/user only "0" is there, useless to say that profile switching doesn't work . I'm using tb widget to switch profiles .
Why is this happening to me and how to solve it please?
Thx
This worked for me exactly once. Then Play Store in its infinite wisdom decided to update the app and deleted everything in the process. Now I can't get it working anymore. The app keeps crashing. Permissions appear to be correct.
This tutorial will show you how to setup your device as admin and configure other user profiles (this is important when you're not the owner). Your device maker disabled multiuser functionality in Kitkat, like on my Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70L? - then this for you. At least, that's where this procedure is tested on. Afaik, this should work on Lollipop too. But will it work for your device? - No clue, you tell us!
Basically it's an accumulation of what I've read here (thanks again) and my personal experience as a noob myself.
So far, this guide is incomplete and I'm hoping for some pro tipps to perfect it. Please help me sort out the unclear parts highlighted in red and I'll update this post accordingly. The sooner the better, because this actually is not my device and someday soon I'll have to pass it over to my mom since it's my present to her, I'm only setting this slab up...
Preconditions:
Android treats the first account created as "owner". Only owner will have root privileges if installed accordingly (=admin).
Root permission and a file manager (e.g. ES File Explorer) are required for this fix so go get that first. For the Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70L, I followed this beautiful guide, besides that, I can't help much here.
Unable/uninstall all bloatware (I was adventurous with Titanium Backup with no probs so far, but some crap remained from looking at new user folders; still in search of a vendor/device-specific "save to remove" list)
Install ALL apps you and the other users suppesdly need. This will avoid the need to redownload and reinstall all the apps for each and every user wasting storage. Think thrice, usually it'll be more than desired, but better you do it instead of a DAU... Each user will be able to install apps later though. Full control over user restrictions can be applied for "guest profile" only.
Steps:
In file explorer, go to /system/ and open build.prop
Check if you have anything like the below text (you shouldn't, otherwise edit accordingly) and add these lines at the end of it:
Code:
# Multi Users
fw.max_users=[COLOR="DarkGreen"]X[/COLOR]
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Replace X with your desired digit (up to 7?)
(I've read somewhere that 7 users is maximum that system can handle, but I haven't tried)
Save, reboot and log in as "owner" (your profile)
Go to Settings>Device and say hello to new item "Users"
Create new users and/or a guest profile (important: write down the order in which you created them!)
All new user profiles are now shown as "new user" no matter what you wrote in the profile properties (only guest will be shown as "guest"). Mind you, this also applies for the lockscreen!
In file explorer, go to /data/system/users/ to find your users' folders containing some system files (what exactly?) Now guess what - the order of the numbered folders and #.xml files match the order you created them. "0" is you, the owner.
Open each .xml file and replace "Owner" with "Your Name" and "New user" with "Username"
Put the device to sleep, trigger lockscreen and log in to each user profile and
Pull down shortcut menu from top right and enable autorotate
Go to Settings>Users>Security, check all settings and note each unlock-code
Disable background services like sync, location, etc. that could potentionally drain battery where applicable
Rinse & repeat 8) for all new profiles
Install "Multi-User App Share" and set apps per user. (Or is there a newer app or more hackish approach without the need for xposed or compiling stuff etc.?)
= DONE =
If you want the user icon in status bar, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-users-mod-t3017782/post58659868#post58659868 (haven't tried that ).
Well... build.prop fixes are working, at least for me. It's good alternative to multi-user app from Xposed (we don't want to use Xposed too much...).
Still tried with decompiling & compiling framework for fixing icon problem, and... in framework-res there is not status_bar_expanded_header.xml file, se we are in deep ****.
I am working on: LP
