Top 40 Best Root Apps in 2018 (NEW)
I have included a bunch of useful apps to be used on rooted phones. I handpicked all the apps for ensuring the topmost quality for you. Here we go with the list of top root apps for Android.
1. Greenify
Are you looking for working ways to improve Android battery life? Then, you must download and install Greenify. Greenify is undoubtedly best android app for rooted android phone users who want to have a good battery backup. Recently, they have also released a new Greenify app for unrooted android phone owners too, but there are many limitations in that. I personally use it on an unrooted device and found it really worthy. Then you can imagine how good it is on a rooted mobile. Greenify shows the apps running in the background and how many times it wakes up your device. It also gives you an option to hibernate the background running apps to save battery life. Using this app, you can save both RAM and battery juice simultaneously. Overall, it will also increase performance and fluidity of your android phone. Download
2. Xposed Framework
If you have been using Android for a long time, you might have heard about custom ROMs, didn’t you? Custom ROMs allow you to bring your phone to a new customization level. Moreover, they optimize Android for better performance as well. But Xposed Framework has made the use of custom ROMs less famous. As installing custom ROMs include several geeky processes, many users try to stay away from the same. That’s what gave birth to this app. Xposed Framework is one of the best root apps for Android which can be used to customize the phone to the fullest without installing custom ROMs. There are several modules for button remapping, theming, performance tweaks and UI customization inside the app. The only thing you need to do is finding the modules that are compatible with your device. The download link is available on XDA forum only, as this is an app built by their developers for the sheer customization of Android without installing custom ROMs. Download App
3. Lucky Patcher
Lucky Patcher is undoubtedly one of the best apps for rooted android phones. There are many exploits available in this android app which works with almost every android app installed in your android phone.

They have different meanings for each color which you can read more about it on the official site of Lucky Patcher. Download Lucky Patcher
4. Viper4Android
Have you ever thought about controlling different audio devices connected with your phone individually? Unfortunately, it is not possible on normal Android phones. You can only monitor the volume of the playback (in Music app, you can add effects and bass using the equalizer). XDA forum has found a solution for this problem as well. With the advanced root access that you get after rooting your phone installing Viper4Android is easy. You can control the playback through phone speakers, headset, Bluetooth device or any other audio equipment you connect to the phone. Viper4Android is your Android audio lab. It comes with an audio driver by itself, which adds beauty to the sound you hear through the phone. Tons of additional effects and bass boost are there using which you can explore the new horizons of audio hearing. The download link I have given below leads to an XDA forum thread.

5. Titanium Backup
Backing up the data on your phone (or any other device) is significant because no one can predict a terrible moment for it. If you are a serious smartphone user and there are tons of data on your phone for sure including files, contacts, then Titanium Backup is best app for your rooted device. That’s why every smartphone nerd recommends taking backups often. Have you ever taken backups? You can make use of the default feature by going to Settings» Backups& Restore» Backup. But I don’t like it due to the sluggish processing and not-up-to-the-mark performance. For the very same reason, you need a third- party app for backing up the smartphone data. Titanium backup is one of the top rooted apps for Android that allows you to remove bloatware (good-for-nothing apps come preloaded with the device). And, it can be used for taking backups of applications and app data as well. There are two versions of the same app available on the Google Play Store; one is free, and the other one is paid. (There are many good feature in premium version, but free version is enough for most of the users). Download

Yes, Tasker can do a lot of tasks. It is more of an automation app using which you can turn off the lock screen when you are in the home, turn on the silent mode when you are working, etc. Though, this app is made for rooted android phone users but you can use many of its features on unrooted phones as well.

Are a hardcore CWM Recovery user and loves to flash Custom ROMs, Kernels and tweaks? I know it’s very painful to boot into recovery mode by using several Keys Combo. As, the usual power menu of a phone includes the Power off option, sometimes the Reboot and Flight mode options as well. Reboot to recovery mode is always missing especially if you are a STOCK ROM user. So, have you ever thought of making your power menu even more powerful? With Quick Boot, you can bring the power menu to a whole new level by inserting Reboot to Recovery and Reboot to bootloader as well. Both paid and free versions are available; with the former you will get Tasker support and a hot boot option. Download Quick Boot

At that time, you suppressed your frustration and pretended the deletion affects nothing, didn’t you? But from now on, you can smile even after deleting necessary files because Dumpster can restore the data for you. It supports music, images and videos the most. But you can recover documents as well.
