How to Root [Almost] Every Android Smart Phone

What is rooting you ask? The simple answer is that it gives Android users superuser permissions over their device and full access to their phone. For those familiar with iOS and jailbreaking, its is a similar albeit more complex and deeper unlock. However, because iOS devices are fairly standardized, it's usually quite an easy process to jailbreak your device. When it comes to Androids though, the vast variety of brands, carriers, firmwares, and versions make searching for a root for your phone hectic and time-consuming. This revolutionary app will save you a lot of time as a (almost) universal application to easily root any Android device.

Luckily, there is an easy fix to this. Even if you're not too bent on needing to have all the artwork...you might as well do it because its just that easy!

Top 4 Best Free Note Apps for iOS

While the iPhone comes with a 'Notes' app that is quite sufficient in features, it can fall short in a lot of different areas. Although it has the basic features you need to write and save notes, that's basically where its list of features ends. Apple has failed in allowing the notes to be shared on PC or Mac easily without emailing each one tediously, and the stock notes app lacks the ability to record things or freehand draw. Additionally, the user interface is quite basic (although simple) and can leave users yearning for more. So without further ado, here are some free notes apps that may lead to the stock Notes to collect dust...make sure you take some notes on this!

However, one issue in particular is both reoccurring and highly detrimental. This is the shockingly low battery life that accompanies most smart phones. Applocity does a lot to fix this issue and it turns out that one of the root causes of it is that background processes eat away at the battery. Specifically, unneeded internet usage and searching that goes on. Whether its roaming for a signal or checking for unwanted updates, WiFi that operates during device standby is a problem...luckily, we have the solution. Here's how you can keep the WiFi off in standby but have it turn on again at your convenience when the device is powered on again.

The Truth About App Killers and Task Managers on Android

Should you use app killers, task managers, and cache 'clearers'? It seems like a plausible idea to do so because pretty much all Androids come with pre-installed apps and services (known as bloatware) that are impossible to remove without a root. These continually run in the background, and to you, seem to hog up a lot of the RAM and speed of your phone that could be distributed to different places. Sure apps like Advanced Task Killer and CCleaner can fix this to a degree, but are they also causing harm along the way? Find out the truth about app killers and task managers!
