Top Android Apps 2013: Essential And Effective Apps To Keep Your Phone Running Efficiently, Titanium Backup, SystemTuner And More
As a smartphone owner, it is your duty to keep it running top-notch in order to avoid glitches, random reboots and other annoyances. In addition, users who want to get the most out of their mobile phones get applications which can make life easier for them. If you fall in either one of these groups, then this short list of useful apps is for you.
ES File Explorer
Some Android devices do not offer a convenient way of browsing files in their SD cards out of the box. Because of this, users would still need to connect their mobile phones to a laptop or computer just to access these files. ES File Explorer is one of the most downloaded apps on the Play Store. It features a wide range of tools and options to help you navigate your way inside your device's SD card. If you have already achieved root for your phone, it even lets you modify system files and even change your phone's boot and down animations.
Titanium Backup
If you are an advanced Android user (one who often switches ROMs), this application from Titanium Track lets you store all your installed apps and reinstall them once you are finished with ROM flashing or switching. If you have already achieved root, it can also allow you to 'freeze' apps and bloatware which you think reduces your smartphone's performance. There is also a Pro version where more options and tools will be available.
System Tuner
This is considered one of the overall maintenance apps for advanced Android users. Upon root access, System Tuner can enable you to freeze and boil system apps, manage startup apps, tweak CPU governors, voltage use, and even memory killing apps. It also offers backup and restore features similar to Titanium Backup. In addition, you can also set a particular CPU usage for certain apps and situations of cell phone use (sleep or awake). This is the ultimate app to provide all the 'techie' stuff you want to do with your Android phone.
