In addition to installing Chainfire3D Pro to play Tegra games after you root, what else do you do?
How do you make the Note perform at its optimal level?
Is there any other things that you do after you ROOT your Note?
Oh by the way, how do you know that you have root your Note? Is there anyway to verify it?

My common sense is telling me that after you root you will have superuser icon in the app menu if not there is no superuser

download terminal monitor and run 'su', then 'id'.
If you have root permissions then id will show you are root.
I rooted so I can run droidwall (an android firewall, imho a MUST HAVE to block rogue apps), setcpu, and titanium backup.

remove all software which is not needed, deactivate tw launcher and tw wallpaper chooser and install launcher pro.. there is nothing more you can do at the moment.. ,) maybe if you want to customize the battery indicator..

Think you actually need to flash a new ROM in order to change the battery, even ROM Toolbox won't be able to do the trick.
I rooted so that I could run Titanium Backup. Without root TB would not function other than to say root was required..
Another reason I would root is to install some Anti-Theft software like Cerberus so that it remains in phone even after factory reset and I can track my phone incase it is lost.
restore apps by TB from GS2~~ delete/frozen useless apps from ROM by RE~~

I'm a newbie, using Fido Liquid e 2.1.
I want to remove some Apps that comes in stock (Acer Reg., Acer Settings, Acer Sync, Email, nemoPlayer, RoadSync, Spinlets, ufFooz).
Is rooting the only way to allow me to remove those?
Also, how can I stop some programs from autostart, if possible.
Thanks!
Ken
I rooted my phone and I want to the same as you want. Anyone know how?

Before I upgrade to 2.2, I used Universal Androot and removed some stock apps (using Titanium backup).
I was worried that I might not be able to upgrade it to 2.2 stock. So I do the followings:
1. Used Universal Androot to revert the phone to unroot status
2. Installed the stock apps back to the phone
3. Removed Universal Androot (just in case)
And I successfully upgraded to 2.2, no problem whatsoever.
Then I used Titanium Backup to uninstall all Acer apps (except Acer Registration, which I don’t know how to remove), Tasks, RoadSync, Urfooz, Spinlets, Email, even the Android keyboard (I use the hacked HTC Touch IME for 2.2).
Now the phone loads fast!
BTW, some apps will still show itself after the above procedures, use “Manage applications” in “Settings” to remove it again.

You need to root your phone. You need to install "Malez recovery" it's easy. I don't think you guys realize how easy it is, there is an installer. Just put your phone in usb debugging mode, install your phone drivers, plug in your phone, install Malez. Instructions are on his page. Then you can use titanium backup the get rid of crapware and do backups. Don't bother with task killer aps unless your really know what you're killing. You could do more harm than good.
Cheers.
Hello,
Do you know in titanium backup de name of acer register to unnistall ?
thanks !!!!

You can install 3rd Party Apps and you can do backups of your apps and a whole lot of stuff. But if you're not into tinkering your phone then I suggest you stay away from that.
Free tethering, sideloading apps
How do you back up before you root it if you have never had a back up before?

Some apps that require root:
AdFree - disable ads
Cache Cleaner - clean up temporary and cache files
ConnectBot - terminal client for superuser
Titanium Backup - back up and restore apps + data
QuickBoot - regular reboot or reboot into recovery
Root Explorer - file management of system files
SetCPU - overclocking/underclocking
ShootMe - do screenshots
certain flashlight apps for your LED flash
rooting gives you admin read/write permission of the system so you can basically make changes to things you normally wouldnt be able to change. These include adding free tethering, backing up apps like was mentioned before, and adding other features like hopefully a third party FM radio app since the phone has the antennae inside.
its totally worth it to do, its quick and painless, and reversible if you ever need to return the phone
ConnectBot does not require root. I had installed and used it before rooting.

Requires root if you want superuser access and file operations on system files
Ah, now it makes sense, Thank you guys help was appreciated
I'm wondering if there's any way of deleting some of the factory apps without having my phone rooted? I can't get the root to work so just deleting the apps I don't want would be ok instead.

No not really...You need root unfortunately.
What do you mean you can't get root to work? What's the problem you have encountering?

Actually scratch that. After 24hrs I've finally figured out how to root it. Maybe I should have stuck to my Nokia 1100. These smartphones are all 'Whiteman magic' to me

The only way to get rid of the factory apps is to use RootExplorer and delete the .apk of apps you want remove...but Rootexplorer want root!!
Make root is not complicated and I think that it is very useful and practical to run many apps which want root permission, such as rootexplorer (best file explorer ever!), any backup program annd others useful apps
Moreover, remove factory application which we never use helps to improve battery life, have much memory to run own apps, and a more reactive device
I've read about changing the phone's CSC as a possible solution. Can anyone more experienced comment about that?
Some people are saying that Kapersky is a huge CPU and battery hog.
I can't find a way to unistall it or even set it not to run on startup
Has anyone tried to unistall or shut down Kapersky?
I can't wait for a stable root, first thing I do will be to get rid of the dam thing
Any idea?

You can only uninstall if you root your device, then use titanium backup to delete the app. Though I'd backup all apps first, that way you can restore them, if you ever had to return it for whatever reason.

Well, if you didn't take the latest OTA, you can still root, and its straight forward.

I'm not a noob here, but I admit I prolly sound like one with this question...
With all of the warnings and advice about proceeding with caution due to no boot unlocker currently, is it safe to install certain root only apps? I'd like to install Greenify to help with battery life on my S4 (not that it's bad, but Greenify kicks butt).
I'm rooted, but I listen to the feedback about what could go wrong and I (like everyone) don't want to hose up my phone.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

By root-only, what exactly do you mean?
For example, I used TitaniumBackup to restore all of my old apps from my last phone, as well as Accounts & SMS/MMS.
Everything root-related at this point is a risk, as you can't flash a new ROM or even factory reset.

"Root-only" meaning TiBu, ROM Toolbox PRO, Root Explorer, etc. Apps that will not work unless you are rooted. I can't seem to find anyone having any adverse effects in my research (which is good). Just looking for direct confirmation.
Good to hear you used TiBu, for example, with no issues I assume.

Nope, no issues. I also froze a few bloatware apps within TitaniumBackup, no negative consequences yet.
I might be wary of something like Rom Toolbox PRO as it delves farther into the ROM, but Root Explorer should be fine. Just don't edit system files, as some have reported issues with editing things such as the DPI.
