What is Rooting?

Getting root or rooting your phone is the process of modifying the operating system that shipped with your device to grant you complete control over it.


This means you can overcome limitations that the carriers and manufacturers put on your phone, extend system functionality, and even upgrade it to a custom flavor of Android.


The name root comes from the Linux operating system world, where the most privileged user on the system (otherwise known as Administrator on Windows) is called root.


Quote:
rooting does *not* mean installing a custom ROM (a ROM is a modified, "aftermarket" OS).
Installing a ROM may require rooting first, but just rooting can be usually done in only a few minutes, keeping your stock OS otherwise completely intact.

Problems on Your PC Solved

It’s one thing to boot up a computer
brand new from the store, and to
revel in the galactic superspeed in
which it loads. It’s another to keep it
running at that same speed,
especially after some months have passed.


An overloaded startup 
Most applications you install usually
add themselves automatically to you Start Up folder. This results in a slower startup because of the time needed to
load them all. If your computer used
to boot at the speed of light, but now moves slower than an old lady at the
zebra crossing, this might be your
problem. 


SOLVE THIS: by accessing the
MSCONFIG command through your
search bar or run application,
heading to the Startup tab at the top, and unchecking all unnecessary
programmes. Seriously, do you really need iTunes to boot whenever you
start your computer? 


Too many temporary files 


Whenever you look at webpages,
watch videos, look at photos or even
type on Microsoft Word, your
computer stores temporary files so
that it can load up faster the next time
round. These files build up over time and may slow your computer down,
especially since they’re usually
located in your OS drive. 


SOLVE THIS: By running Windows Disk
Cleanup, found in Accessories,
regularly.


A fragmented disk 


A very old school problem, but still a
very real one. Disk fragmentation
occurs when the file system can’t or
won’t allocate enough continuous
space to store a complete file. This
results in gaps within that file, and can make that file run slower than it
usually would. Sometimes, those
gaps occur when the OS deletes a file
it doesn’t need any more. (This is safe
though, your OS is smarter than you
think). 


SOLVE THIS: By running the Disk
Defragmenter, also found in
Accessories, regularly. We suggest
not using the computer whilst the
Defragmenter runs so as to minimise
more fragmentation


Programs uninstalled improperly 


What a mouthful this header is. A PC
does not work like a MAC – simply
deleting the application you don’t
want won’t cut it, and leaves behind
remaining files that may cause your
computer to slow down. 


SOLVE THIS: By always uninstalling
programs with the proper
uninstall.exe, or remove them via the
Control Panel. Go one step further to
delete leftover files from the folder
manually after uninstallation. This could include save games, 3rd party
add ons, screenshots and etc. 


A full OS disk 


Many people make the mistake of
saving everything possible into their
C:/ drive, and that usually hosts their
OS, or operating system. Once that
drive gets too full, it slows down,
thereby slowing down your entire computer’s processing speed. 


SOLVE THIS: by partitioning your drive
into C:/ and D:/ and saving your data
in D:/. The lack of strain on your OS
drive will let it run faster. You might
be pleasantly amazed at the
difference this can make. 


Background anti-viruses 


Anti-viruses are always ful, but
can sometimes do more harm than
good. Since they’re always running
and usually boot together with your
computer, they can slow down
processes considerably. Strangely enough, it’s always the ones you’ve
got to pay for that wreak the most
havoc. 

Send Free SMS To Any Local & International Mobile Number using JaxtrSMS

Sending SMS messages to any local destination may not be a big issue for most mobile users, thanks to carrier offerings and smartphone applications that allow internet-based messaging even in cross-platform scenarios. However, two limitations/issues associated with such an approach usually exist. First, in most cases, the recipient has to be a user of the same app that you’re using (e.g., Viber or TextFree), and second, the same app may not be available for one particular mobile platform, thus greatly reducing usability for the users of said OS. Enter JaxtrSMS – a free, cross-platform application that not only provides diverse platform compatibility, but also lets you send text messages to virtually any mobile number on the planet, irrespective of whether the recipient uses JaxtrSMS or not. Details to follow after the break.


Similar to other apps of its kind, JaxtrSMS utilizes an internet connection (WiFi or data both) to deliver your text messages. Where it differs from competitors is that the audience of your text message does not require having JaxtrSMS client installed on their mobile device. The messages you send would go to the normal SMS inbox, and what’s even better, they will appear from your own mobile number to avoid any confusion as to who the sender was. As of now, JaxtrSMS features fully-functional apps for iOS, Android, Blackberry, Symbian and Java-based phones, and a Windows Phone client is in the works.

How to extend your smartphone’s battery life

No matter what type of smartphone you have, the device can serve as your MP3 player, digital camera, gaming system, and even your TV while you're out and about — as long as you have battery power. If it seems like smarter phones are getting less life out of their batteries... you're absolutely right. Smartphones can help you get a lot done while traveling, but if you're doing a lot on one in a day, you're apt to see your screen go dark long before the sun goes down. Watching out for a few small things during your day, however, can help extend battery life on your trusty device and make sure you've got enough juice to make it all day and well into the night.

Mixed Signals
It takes extra juice for your smartphone to search for a data connection. If you're somewhere where you won't get a signal, like an airplane or subway, putting your phone in airplane mode or turning it off altogether will prevent it from draining your battery. Turning your phone on does require a bit of extra power, so it's best to save shutting it off for times when you plan to leave it off for a while, rather than something like a 20-minute subway ride to work in the morning. Thinking of it as car mode or subway mode instead of airplane mode might just be the mental trick you need! Likewise, turn off wifi when you don't need it. When it's active, your phone scans for available wifi connections constantly, which kills battery life. If you're using the wifi in a coffee shop or bookstore, remember to disable that connection when you're done to avoid draining your battery while you're on the road. Focus on the task at hand Sure, you can have your email open, search for directions to a local restaurant, watch a video on YouTube, and play Angry Birds at the same time — but chances are you're really only focused on one of those tasks. Everything you have open on your phone is using some amount of battery power. Try to focus on doing just one thing at a time on your phone, and close unnecessary applications to keep them from draining your battery. Things like your GPS and the bluetooth connection you use to connect to your hands-free device in the car gobble up a ton of battery power and are of no use to you unless you're doing a few specific tasks.

Improve Volume On Galaxy Nexus & Other Android Devices With Volume+

Most Android users, especially those with a Galaxy Nexus, often complain about the agonizingly low volume levels of their devices. If you’re among these disgruntled users, then here’s a volume enhancement solution that might please you. Meltus – the developer behind the volume enhancement tool, Volume+ – has released a beta (v1.8.1) of his app that now includes support for Galaxy Nexus and all devices running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher. While the latest update mainly focuses on enhancing the volume levels on Galaxy Nexus in particular, the developer is optimistic that it should work equally effectively for all other devices, Android OS versions and custom ROMs. Details to follow.


Like its previous versions, the latest version of Volume+ helps you enhance/tweak the sound levels of your device. Be it the speaker volume, Bluetooth volume, headset volume or the in-call volume settings, the app lets you modify each as per requirement. To mention a few of the options that the app offers, you can enable the Virtual Room Effect and a personalized equalizer, along with custom maximum volume level, bass enhancer, echo level, and much more. If you don’t want to go through the hassle of tinkering with equalizer bands manually, you can simply choose to one of the many default EQ presets included within the app. The APK of the beta release is available on the developer’s website, a link to which is provided at the end of this post.
