What programs require root rights. Why root rights are needed: an overview of useful programs

Today I will talk about the most interesting and necessary (for a certain group of people) programs in my opinion. Attention: programs require ROOT rights .

TitaniumBackup .

And, perhaps, first I will show you a program called Titanium Backup. There are two versions of this program - one paid (PRO), the other, respectively, free (FREE). The differences between these two versions: the PRO version has HyperShell, quick / automatic installation of programs, Dropbox, Box and Google Drive.

With this program it is possible to uninstall installed applications out of the box and create a backup copy of any application. In general, the application has more features, I said about the most necessary ones, and you can see other features in the screenshot below.

LuckyPatcher.

The second program is Lucky Patcher, "good luck patcher". With this program, you can wean the application from checking the Market and remove ads, as well as change the permissions for the application, for example, make it unavailable to access the Internet. There are several ways to remove ads: the patcher tries to reduce the size of ads to a minimum, make the size of ads equal to zero, or break the mechanism for receiving ads. After patching, Lucky Patcher writes what percentage your luck is, that is, how much he managed to save you from advertising. There are also several ways to remove the license check: automatic mode, extreme (using the Internet) or manual control.

Ram manager.

Now - Ram Manager. The RAM manager will help you choose some RAM modes: Balance (daily use), Balance 2 (more RAM), Balance 3 (more multitasking), Hard Gaming (for gamers to run "heavy" games), Hard Gaming 2 ( less aggressive option for running "heavy" games), Hard Multitasking (the ability to run many applications at once) and default modes for Samsung and Nexus brands S, as well as factory settings for your phone. Personally, I chose Hard Multitasking for myself. Only one mode can be used at a time.

You can also choose the size VM heap and create SWAP file (additional RAM due to free space on the SD card).

screencast.

Screencast is a mobile Fraps, the program captures video from the screen in high quality. To run an illegal, not purchased version, the program will require you to check the license in the market, calmly turn on the Internet and now we have Fraps on our phone. I want to note that in "heavy" toys the game itself will slow down, lag and the video will turn out to be slow. Also, for this program to work, an ARMv 7 architecture processor is required, the program will not start on ARMv 6, but for budget owners I can recommend the ZX VideoRecorder program. Video recording can be started both from the program and from a special widget that can be placed on the desktop. In the program settings, you can change the quality and orientation of the video. It is also possible to record sound, but it is recorded from the microphone, so avoid background noise when this function is enabled.

Outcome: good programs require ROOT rights, so either flash your smartphone on custom, or do only root rights, but on stock firmware. Bye everyone!
