Appkiller android forums5/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, on XDA, you might stumble upon a thread called: Amplify+Greenify+Power Nap. Now, if you have Android 5.x you might discover that disabling play services disables play store so. Just for my own curiosity: How long does your battery last, and do you use Google play services (my Huawei G630 - similar to S3 configuration lasts at least two times longer when I disable that). It can be set to kill apps (well, hibernate them) when you lock your phone, and in a donation version, you can also make it use push. In any case, if you don't know what root access is, think twice about it.Īnd as someone who used various battery savers, both rooted and unrooted, I'll give you an advice: try greenify, free version. For all your Android (ab)use topics, you need XDA-developers forums. If you don't understand the implications, or your only purpose in rooting is to get some random app to work, don't. Apps are usually sandboxed in the Android java VM, granting root allows tampering with the Linux OS underneath and direct modification of the filesystem. it's exactly the same as the root account on a Unix/Linux/BSD etc. Most importantly, pay very close attention to which apps you grant root permissions to. :)īe aware of warranty issues, also some (mostly internet banking etc.) apps will refuse to run on a rooted device (though there are ways around this too). Most custom ROMs come with su, and are labelled as 'pre-rooted'. Search for your model on xda-developers, someone has most likely upped a flashable su installer & instructions. (S-on) but the S3 should be ok in this regard. Some manufacturers make it harder by locking the NAND. most of these require flashing su onto the rom via recovery mode or ADB. It's that simple, but there are various methods to overcome the "chicken & egg" puzzle -> you need to be root to install su, but you need su to become root. same as using 'su' for system admin tasks on a *nix box. You need an 'su' binary (such as SuperSU) to get root user permissions and allow apps to do the same. ![]() Had an S3 for like three years, rooting it few months after buying before being lazy maintaining the OS and some bad things happened.Ĭounting that S3 is old by now, guess rooting it have more pros than cons (like, proper OS support, tweakings to make it better etc). Also then you can proceed to using custom ROM (well, custom Android (or android based) OS) which is mostly lighter and have more features. You'll find better apps once rooted (like, greenify ? It's really light, and is useful). Rooting aside, I think DU things isn't that useful. Search it up, recommend going to xda-developers. The process to enable root access on Android is by "rooting" the phone. So, in order to gain root access, a superuser is required, amd the root access must be opened. On common linux system, an interface to authorize (or access) root without opening the root itself (and allowing all application to change the system) is by logging in as a superuser, which is also unavailable on Android. Well, basically the application is asking for root access, which is common in Linux system (careful though, "root" is pretty much the system itself) but is disabled on Android, defaultly, due to the dangers it imposes on unexperienced user. ![]()
