Follow these steps to Root your Device and gain Admin privileges! The whole process should take about an Hour.
NOTE: This procedure should not damage your device as you are not flashing the OS, however, I am not responsible for damaging your device. I have used this method many times on my devices and other people's devices with no issues. It is a safe method for gaining Root Access.
1- Download Kingo Android One Click Root on your computer. DO NOT install other programs or toolbars that it may ask for.
2- Download drivers for your device into your computer. This should be easy if it is a Samsung, LG, ZTE, HTC, Motorola, etc.
3- Enable USB Debugging and 'Allow Installation of Non-Market Sources' on your device. This should be in the Developer Options menu in the settings or elsewhere in settings.
4- Hook up your device to your computer. Wait for the files and drivers to install on the computer. Open Kingo Root. Your device should be recognized. If not, refer to steps 2 and 3.
5- Click Root, and file installation should begin.
6- When completed, it should say "Congratulations, you have Root Access!' and the phone should restart. If it failed, refer to steps 3, 4, and 5.
7- You should see the Superuser SuperSU App. There should also be an app that looks like a P in another language, Japanese or Chinese. Delete that App.
8- Open Super SU. Go to Settings. Make sure Superuser is enabled and Default Access is set to Grant.
Download and install the following apps in Android Market. There are many more Root apps available, but this is where to start. And most are free:
- CPU Overclock OR SetCPU $1.99 (Set CPU is better for battery saving).
SetCPU is much deeper and there is a YouTube tutorial to maximize your CPU AND save battery life.
- Root App Delete: Go to System Apps, Junior, and Disable all Bloatware or unnecessary Apps. I would get a complete bloat list from the internet on stuff you can disable first.
I'd always disable rather than remove, you don't want to accidentally delete a vital core app. Instead, you can easily turn it back on.
- 2x Battery: Cuts off your Data and Wifi in 15 minute intervals when phone is off and in standby and helps save battery.
- Root Battery Saver
- Root Ram Optimizer
- Faster GPS: Faster GPS connections
- Games to SD / GL to SD: Force moves games and unmovable apps to your SD Card.
I would also install Easy Task Killer Advanced - Set to Filter: Low Security, Auto-optimize on, optimize every 5 minutes. Open up the Task List, long click SuperSU and any other Root Apps and set them to Ignore.
There is a TON of other Root Apps that can be downloaded to help maximize your phone, I would research them first.
ENJOY YOUR NEW ANDROID FREEDOM!
Any questions ask me, good luck and enjoy!
