Many of the Android apps we’ve recommended aren’t popular in the wider community. Of course, they’re all excellent—we wouldn’t suggest lousy apps—but often you can file them into the “niche” category.
So we wanted to take a step back and look at some of the all-time most popular Android apps in the Google Play Store. These are the ones that Android’s two billion active users have downloaded most frequently.here is top app list from 8 catagoreis for me
Audiophiles are a special kind of particular. They look for only the best in breed to deliver the sounds to their heart and soul in ways others will never recognize or appreciate. If that's you, the idea of listening to your favorite pieces of music on a mobile device is laughable. However, you shouldn't be so quick to shrug off the platform categorically. There are apps available that can at least soothe your music needs while on the go.
1: JetAudio Music Player+EQ
If you're looking for one of the finest audio players for the Android ecosystem, you can't go wrong with JetAudio Music Player+EQ. There is a free and a pro version of this app and you may as well skip ahead and purchase the pro version (it'll set you back $3.99 USD). The pro version not only gets rid of the ads, but it gains the addition of a 20 band EQ (instead of the 10 band on the free version), a tag editor, FF/RW interval adjust, expanded notifications, and much more.
JetAudio is definitely the Android audio player for audiophiles. It supports .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .m4a, .mpc, .tta, .wv, .ape, .mod, .spx, .wma, and more. You'll also find in-app purchases for more sound effects, UI unlocker, and Pebble smartwatch integration.
2: Neutron Music Player
If you want a player with tons of options, Neutron Music Player (Figure B) should do the trick. The player costs $5.99 on the Google Play Store, but there's an eval version you can check out before making the big purchase. What do you get for your $5.99? Plenty. A 32/64 bit rendering engine, which will deliver to your ears the highest quality sound you can get on a mobile app. And because this app is developed specifically for audiophiles, numerous options are available. You'll have to go through the settings window and scroll through the configurations to see for yourself just how much flexibility Neutron offers.
Neutron supports one of the widest ranges of formats for any music player on the market. During playback, you'll also find a sleep and wakeup timer, on the fly replay gain, and more.
3: PlayerPro
One of the most user-friendly interfaces of all the audiophile-friendly players belongs to PlayerPro (Figure C). The standard version runs $4.95 USD, but there's an trial version you can try for free. Besides the outstanding interface, PlayerPro offers a simple EQ (expandable with the PlayerPro DSP pack), mixable audio effects, tagging, music stats, smart playlists, lockscreen widgets, and much, much more.
The PlayerPro DSP pack is a must-have. (Otherwise, you're limited to a five band EQ, which isn't acceptable to any audiophile.) PlayPro automatically downloads missing album artwork to keep your UI looking fresh. You can also skin PlayerPro with one of the many skins available from the Google Play Store.
Although AIMP (Figure D) doesn't offer as many bells and whistles as some of the other players on the list, it is a solid entry and heads above the standard Android audio player. AIMP offers support for multiple audio formats, CUE sheet support, 10 band EQ, auto detection of data encoding, album art support, internet radio support, and much more.
With AIMP you can downmix multichannel audio to stereo or mono and even register a file playing back as a ringtone. AIMP also supports playback from SD card, allows you to import files with a handy filtering mode, and even delete files from storage from within the app itself.
5: Poweramp
Poweramp (Figure E) offers a great UI that allows you to change tracks with a left or right swipe and change playlists with an up or down swipe. Beyond the UI, you'll get support for all the common audio file formats. The Poweramp 10 band EQ is one of the most responsive I've used and the tone controls really add to the depth of sound.
The full version of Poweramp costs $3.99, but you can give it a test run by installing the Poweramp Trial version. This music app also offers gapless playback, crossfading, replay gain, and more.
Don't think for a second that you can't get your sound fix while on the go. Any of these five music player apps will appease the 'phile in you until you can make it back home to your analog tube system with a sound as warm as hot butter.
MX Player
The first app on our list is MX Player, whose tagline is literally “Play Everything”. MX Player is the perfect blend of powerful codec support, ease of use, and a beautiful interface. It’s easy to understand and use, for anyone, while having more than enough support for enthusiasts at the same time. This is still my go-to app in 2019.
Another big aspect of MX Player is all the gestures. You can control almost everything right on the screen, without covering up your video content. It supports various gestures, swipes, or pinch to zoom. Fast forward, turn up the volume, pause, or change the aspect ratio all with ease.
MX supports color-coded subtitles, and you can even lock the app so kids can watch a movie without messing anything up, closing the app, or opening other apps. If it doesn’t have the codec you need, download some of the many MX codec packs from the Play Store. This app is highly recommended.
AllCast Video Player and Stream
Next, we wanted to recommend something a little different than your average VLC video player. If you’ve never tried AllCast, you’re missing out. AllCast specializes in sending all your locally stored content or videos to basically any and every smart device in your home. Stream and watch videos on your Roku, XBox, Chromecast, Android TV device, and most smart TV’s released in the last few years.
This supports most codecs, and will basically let you “cast” any video file (or photo) from your phone or tablet to a wide array of devices you might own. So while it’s not your typical video player app, it plays a little of everything, everywhere. The free version only gives you 5 minutes of video, but the paid version is unlimited.
VLC Player
Of course, we have to recommend VLC Player, which is actually the video player I use every single day. VLC is one of the most popular video players in the PC world, and they have a pretty great Android app too.
VLC is pretty much the pioneer of do and play everything, and like MX, is simple to use yet extremely powerful. VLC supports almost every video codec you can imagine, lets you add-on more if needed, and gives you lots of controls and options. From gestures to change the volume or brightness, subtitles, tracks, or stream different audio files with video. It’s perfect for all you torrent users.
Then, on top of playing anything from your phone VLC works with network streams, network shares and drives, and DVD ISOs and more. It’s just as capable as the PC version. VLC works with Picture-in-Picture mode on Oreo or Android Pie, too.
AC3 Player
When it comes to playing video files on Android a common frustration is anything with the AC3 codec. We’re sure you’ve seen that error before, especially if you’re coming from Apple devices to Android. If so, try the AC3 Player linked below.
There are a few different AC3 Players on the Google Play Store, but this one is our favorite. It does video, audio, manages your files, and has plenty of playback options and controls. It’s a good all-in-one video player to handle AC3, Apple files and handles just about anything else at the same time. It might not be feature-packed like some players, but it has all the essentials.
Archos Video Player
Another excellent video player app for Android is the official Archos Video Player. In the early days of Android tablets, this was the only app I ever used. And, it’s still extremely capable today. As an added bonus, if you use an Android TV Archos Player is a must-have download.
Archos Video Player has a huge selection of codec support, a clean and easy to use interface, and Album Artwork. Yes, it doesn’t matter where the video came from, it will look like a purchased video file. You’ll get the DVD cover artwork, playtime, and all that premium information you’d expect on Netflix. So even if you torrent videos, you’ll get a great experience with Archos. Pair it with the SHIELD TV and you’re all set.
BS Player
One of the oldest video player apps for Android is BS Player. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s not worth using. In fact, despite the odd user interface BS Player is extremely easy to use, powerful and filled with features or controls.
It supports network DLNA streaming, multi-core hardware decoding, tons of codec packs, and the ability to stream video from compressed formats. That’s pretty neat. We like the screen-lock so you don’t mess up a video file, and all the controls for volume, brightness and more right from the now playing screen.
Video Player All Format
Another highly recommended video player app for Android is “Video Player All Format”. Odd name aside, this app has tons of features, including 4K video playback.
These guys support nearly any video codec or format, and the app has lots of fancy features. Lock down the video player with a password or pin, play videos in the background, use subtitles, control everything with ease, gesture support and more. It’s just a clean, simple, yet powerful video app for Android.
PlayerXtreme
If you ever used PlayerXtreme on iOS, you’ll be happy to know it works great on Android too. Xtreme supports over 40 different file types, codecs, subtitles, hardware acceleration, and streaming from anywhere. It basically does everything and is a great all-around video player.
Not only can this play virtually any video on your Android phone or tablet, but you can stream content in or out of a PC or smart device at the same time. It works with your computer and all those video files, your phone, tablet, or your Android TV device. It’s quite powerful, so check out the Google Play listing and see for yourself.
Mobo Player
Another popular and well-established video player for Android is Mobo. This app does a little of everything. From batch editing video files, compression, video editing and GIF making, and playing videos too. Yes, a little of everything.
Mobo Player has a beautiful interface, works with tons of codecs, 4K video, streaming support from multiple devices, DLNA, and thumbnail artwork are included too. It basically plays almost anything, lets you edit your videos, and looks good at the same time. Give it a try.
KODI
Previously known as the Xbox Media Console, KODI just has to end this list. Everyone should know about KODI by now, but if not, this basically turns your Android device into a powerful multimedia hub.
With KODI you can access locally stored content, streams from the internet, torrent streams, network storage files, internet files, and other popular apps. It basically pulls video files from anywhere and everywhere, no matter the file type or codec, and plays them. It’s one of the most popular video players on the planet for a reason, so get this if you haven’t already.
ActionDirector Video Editor
Price: Free / $3.99
ActionDirector is one of the most popular video editing apps on PC. It's also available on Android. It does the basics. You can import clips, edit them, and render the video. You can do things like add your own music, trim and cut video, add text, employ slow motion, and more. It's one of the few video editor apps that also supports 4K video. You'll have to check and see if your device supports it, though. The developers have a nifty tool linked in the Google Play Store to see if yours can. It also gets frequent updates.
Adobe Premiere Clip
Price: Free
Adobe Premiere Clip is one of the big names when it comes to video editor apps. It has a laundry list of features, including the ability to auto-generate videos using your images and video if you don’t want to do it yourself. If that’s not your thing, you can edit your video manually using a variety of tools, effects, and music. The app boasts that you can use your own music but some users have found this process to be difficult. It does sync and work with Adobe Premiere Pro so you can start a project on one and continue on the next one. However, you'll need an Adobe Creative Cloud account to make all the syncing work.
FilmoraGo - Free Video Editor
Price: Free / $7.99
FilmoraGo is a video editor app by Wondershare. It's easily one of the best video editor apps. This video editor packs a whallop. You can do the basics like trim and cut, render, and that kind of stuff. It also includes the ability to play in reverse, do square videos (1:1) for Instagram, and 16:9 videos for YouTube specifically. It also has support for things like slow motion, transitions, music, overlays, and more. It's not half bad for what you get. There are in-app purchases that add to the power. However, most of the features are, in fact, free.
Funimate Video Editor and Effects
Price: Free with in-app purchases
Funimate is one of the surprisingly popular, but not overly powerful video editor apps. It bills itself as being a great app for making music videos or simple videos out of the stuff you already have on your device. There are 15 video filters that you can play with and the creation process is fairly painless. This isn’t something you’d want to use on a serious video. It has things like video effects. However, it's better for short little social media posts rather than actual video production. You can download it for free to try it out yourself.
KineMaster
Price: Free / $4.99 per month
KineMaster is one of the most powerful video editor apps available. You can do the basics like most of these other video editors can. However, this one includes multiple video, image and effect layers. Additionally, there are audio filters, chroma key (for your green screen fans out there), various video effects, transitions, and more. It's not as powerful as a full desktop editor. However, this gets much closer than most other competitors. We would recommend this for actual video production (at least for stuff like YouTube). You can use it for free in trial mode for a while. However, you'll need the $4.99 per month subscription to get everything forever.
Movie Maker Filmmaker
Price: Free
Movie Maker Filmmaker among the best free video editor apps currently available. You’ll be able to trim, crop, and reorder video content as well as set focal points. The app also boasts a variety of video effects and you can design your own custom filters, although that functionality isn’t amazingly powerful. It also has the rest of the basics, like music. The app has struggled with some bug issues since it’s major redesign, but it’s still one of the better video editing apps out there. It’s also completely free with ads.
PowerDirector
Price: Free / $5.99
PowerDirector is one of the most comprehensive video editor apps on this list. It comes with a ton of features, including quick editing tools, various effects and other tools, and it even comes with things like a collage maker and slow motion support. The interface is relatively easy to work with and it utilizes the classic timeline editor method. It should be more familiar for those who video edit often. It’s free to download and use, but you’ll need to fork out some extra money to get all the features. This is a for real video editor, especially for larger screens like Chromebooks or tablets.
Quik is from a newer generation of video editor apps. It's halfway decent if you need something simple. The way it works is you add up to 50 photos and video clips into the app. The app then analyzes them and spits out a short video from them. Quik contains about two dozen video styles and you can re-order and customize your video before you export it. It’s not nearly as powerful as something like Adobe Premiere Clip or PowerDirector, but not everyone needs something that intense. It's free to download with no in-app purchases.
VivaVideo
Price: Free / $3.99
VivaVideo is one of the exceptionally popular video editing apps. In practice, though, it's a very middle-of-the-road video editor. It works especially well for short clips for social media. The app uses a storyboard style of editing where you load clips, edit and trim them as needed, and then move on to the next segment. It includes over 200 video filters and various other effects, text input, and fast and slow motion support. VivaVideo has a free version that comes with a watermark and a time limit for any given video. You can remove these restrictions by buying the pro version.
VideoShow Video Editor
Price: Free / Up to $19.99
VideoShow Video Editor is one of the more popular video editing apps. It’s a simple video editor that lets you do the basic stuff like trim video, organize your clips, and add music. You’ll also find some additional features like the ability to add emoji and text to videos and a variety of video effects to make things a little more fun. It’s great for stuff like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, but it’s not powerful enough for bigger productions. You'll want to check out something else for that. The app is free to download and use with some additional stuff available as in-app purchases.
One that tries to challenge desktop applications.
Apps that make the job easier for the user by adding lots of drag and drop effects.
Social media image sharing app that just adds some basic filters.
Let’s discuss the six of our favorite photo editing apps for Android and what makes them special.
Adobe Lightroom
For ages, Adobe has been the master of creative applications. Well, this time they have expanded their domain over Android as well. Lightroom for Android provides you with multiple features like removing red-eye, editing RAW images that you have clicked using your smartphone or DSLR as well as the usual features like adjusting saturating, brightness, contrast etc. Also, they frequently release updates that comes with loads of features. However, to use some of those features, the users are required to have a valid subscription in the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Bonfire
If you want to convert your photos to a work of art, Bonfire should be your choice. Apart from providing the basic filters like HDR, black and white and image adjustment tools, it also has blemish removing and skin smoothing features as well, however, the thing that makes it special is a set of unique filters. One of them is Fancy, which turns your photos into a watercolor painting. Although Prisma started this feature years ago, Bonfire is worth giving a try.
Effects Pro
If you like to play with advanced effects, filters, stickers and another way to make your image unique, this app is for you. It comes with more than 30 filters and also provides its users, the freedom to add frames, stickers, and texts similar to Phonto app. You can also finger paint on your image and make it a bit unique. Although the number of editing tools is small, this app is worth using if you want to add some effects to your image.
PicsArt
PicsArt Photo Editor has been existing in the market for quite some time, and till date, it has a record of more than 250 million downloads. The developers are also doing a pretty decent job by regularly releasing updates and making the app modern. Apart from all the basic tools including light adjustment and filters, you can also make collages or add stickers to your image. There are more than 100 editing tools and the fact that it also has a community where creative users can share their images makes it simply great. The icing on the cake, you can also create animated GIFs as well as paint something on your pics. The basic version with all these options is free, while the premium one gives you access to quite a lot of features which are ad-free as well.
Snapseed
Currently acquired by Google, Snapseed became quite a powerful photo editing app sometimes ago. It is a tool preferred by professional photographers because of its ability to edit RAW images. The images can also be converted into a variety of smart sliders using the one-touch enhancing tool. If you are into playing with filters, the app provides you that option as well. A one of its kind, the app is free as well as ads free. Followed by Adobe applications, this is the one which is my personal favorite.
Google Photos
Last but not least, comes the best app from Google. It helps users to back up their images and also allows them to edit the light and color balance as well as add filters to fine tune the images. If you do not want to download any external application, this is for you since it comes as a default app in all latest Android versions.
That’s all from our end. Download any one of your choices and give complete freedom to your creativity. Do let us know in case we missed any other great photo editing app.
Browsers are essential to the internet experience. They are often our first gateway to a world of knowledge, information, and entertainment.
With increasing smartphone penetration, mobile browsing is on the rise too, especially in emerging markets across Asia and Africa. In India, for instance, mobile traffic tops desktop traffic in a 4:1 ratio, according to a 2018 Statista report.
As a result, a variety of mobile browsers are now being sampled by users who want to experience the web effortlessly on their five-inch screens. Besides mobile versions of popular web browsers, i.e., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera, several app-only browsers are gaining ground, especially on Android.
Developers are using Google’s open source project ‘Chromium’ and WebKit (the engine that also runs iOS Safari) to roll out attractive, user-friendly, secure mobile browsing apps.
While Chrome for Android continues to lead the market, YourStory drew up a list of alternative browser apps that not only break the monotony of mobile browsing, but are also light on device storage and high on user controls.
Dolphin Browser
Dolphin Browser, developed by Sequoia Capital-backed MoboTap, was one of the first alternative browsers to support multi-touch gestures. It allows users to draw letters on their touchscreen phones to open certain websites. So, while a ‘T’ for Twitter and ‘F’ for Facebook come preloaded, you can feed the browser with custom gestures too. Dolphin’s voice search feature Sonar lets you browse, share on social networks, bookmark websites, and navigate the entire web without typing a word. Available on both Android and iOS, Dolphin Browser has recorded over 150 million downloads.
Utah-based startup Cake, backed by Kickstart Seed Fund among others, wants to ‘reimagine’ mobile browsing by making it a visually appealing experience. The startup launched Cake Browser earlier this year and it picked up word of mouth for its Tinder-like ‘swipeable search’ feature that makes browsing a noticeably different experience. It minimises search time by suppressing the search index and preloading pages in the background after you’ve searched for a word or a topic. Cake fast-loads pages even on a 3G connection. The browser has recorded over a 100,000 Play Store downloads.
Cake BrowserFlynx
Flynx, developed by Noida-based startup InfiKen Labs, operates on a floating window form unlike other browsers that take up the entire screen and force you to abandon all current activity. You can open Flynx tabs even as other apps run in the background. Flynx’s quick read mode eliminates ads and loads only the relevant content thus saving time and data. The browser also supports offline download of pages for later consumption. Flynx has notched up over 500,000 downloads on Play Store, and has been translated into over 15 international languages by volunteers.
Kiwi, developed by an Estonia-based Android developer, hit Play Store in April, and has already been downloaded 100,000 times. It is available on Android only because iOS does not support third-party browsers. Kiwi packs in a crypto-mining blocker that prevents hackers from using one’s phone’s CPU to generate cryptocurrencies. The browser also supports background play of videos from sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Kiwi is aggressive when it comes to blocking ads, trackers and notifications, and it auto-accepts cookie compliances as well.
Firefox Focus
Firefox Focus is Mozilla’s new browser that focuses on user privacy and security. It started out as an ad-blocking app on iOS in late 2015, but was rolled out as a full-fledged browser across platforms last year. It notched up over a million downloads in a month. On Firefox Focus, every session is in private mode. It allows one-tap browsing history deletion, blocking for third-party ads and all kinds of web trackers. These strong filters make pages lighter and help them load fast. The blocking features are enabled by default.
MCent, developed by Jana Mobile, is a browser that rewards you with free data for browsing. Listed on Play Store as the “recharge browser”, mCent has recorded over 10 million downloads. The browser tracks your usage and awards you points with every site you open. You can redeem these points to buy recharge packs from your mobile operator or utilise them to pay off a phone bill. The browser also offers bonuses when you engage with ads or refer the app to friends. Till date, it is said to have distributed over 4.5 billion GB free data to users
However, given the vast contents of the Play Store, it can be a tough ask to search for the best file manager apps out there. But we’re going to make your job easier today by talking about five of the best file manager apps available for Android right now. You have probably heard about some of these apps, but there are a few on this list that you might not know about. So let’s begin.
ES File Explorer
This particular file manager app will end up on top of every list given the immense popularity it enjoys on the Play Store and among the Android users. It is the preferred file manager app for many, and it’s no surprise that ES File Explorer has already seen nearly 500 million downloads. All of the features available here are designed to make your lives a tad bit easier. This app also allows you to connect to local networks to share data. You can transfer data between two devices by setting up a secure connection. The best part here is that the app will do all of that for you.
At the core, ES File Explorer can be used to create new folders on your SD card or internal storage, move files, and make some other necessary changes to your file system. You can even link up your cloud storage accounts to access them from anywhere. As far as features are concerned, ES File Explorer is probably one of the best apps available out there. You can download the app for free, although there are ads. The app is compatible with devices running Android 4.1 and above.
File Manager
Fundamentally, all file manager apps follow the same protocol – offering easy access to the device’s files and folders. File Manager app does the same, and very well. It’s a simplistic looking app, which means that you won’t get a flashy UI here. However, its features work very much on par with any top file manager app. You can set up remote access, cloud accounts, and more using this app. Files and folders can be moved, deleted, renamed, compressed, bookmarked and more, using File Manager. What I personally like is the ability to personally analyze the storage and clear out unnecessary junk from your folders.
It’s clear that there is really nothing to distinguish between this and any other file manager app. However, the UI leaves a lot to be desired. The best part here is that the app is free to download. However, there will be some ads now and then on your screen. Unfortunately, the developer doesn’t offer an in-app purchase to remove the ads. You can use this app if you have a smartphone or tablet running Android 4.0.3. If a simple yet effective file manager is what you need, this will get the job done perfectly.
AndroZip
This particular application has been around since 2009, making it one of the first Android archiving apps to ever surface. Keeping this in mind, you’re expecting a pretty decent file manager here, and the app doesn’t disappoint. Standing the test of time, AndroZip has some of the features that we see on other newer file manager apps. However, it slightly differs from the other apps we’ve talked about here. AndroZip was launched as a compressing and decompressing app, allowing you to extract and create zip folders. These features are still very much in the app, while it also lets you search and edit/modify the files and folders on your device.
In fact, if you invest in the paid version of the app, you can create archives using AES 128 and AES 256 bit encryption. This makes it one of the top archiving apps on Android, and it also helps that it works like a file manager. You can back up your apps if you’re looking to shift to a new device, and even install APK files to install on your phone or tablet. The developers recommend using this on a tablet as a larger real estate will provide a better experience. The app is free to download and comes with some ads.
File Manager
Apps which don’t have elaborate names are often ignored by the users, but this one (in addition to an app we discussed above) are clearly the exceptions. While it seems like a standard file manager app, it’s a very functional app. This one too, comes with the ability to compress files on your phone to save storage space. It comes with support for cloud services, allowing you to browse all of your data (native and cloud) in one place. There’s a built-in recycle bin as well, allowing you to clear your device of cache data, which can take up quite a bit of space.
Naturally, you can also access your microSD data here, which is a key feature of file manager apps. The app is also designed very well, and you can find all the data you need in one place. It’s a free download, although you will have to deal with ads.
ZArchiver
This app has been around for a while, and is one of the most reliable archiving and decompressing apps available out there. The best feature of this app (for me anyway) is the fact that it comes with a simple scrollable list of folders rather than chunky icons on top. This allows for easy scrolling and is a big plus if you have a lot of folders on your device. It’s a pretty neat app, and clearly the best archiver going around. It might not offer some of the features that the aforementioned apps offer, but that’s not a dealbreaker. The app is updated frequently, so you can be assured of getting bugs fixed (if any) and getting new features on board. The app is a free download, much like the other apps on the list, and has no ads or in-app purchases. Be sure to check it out
Rooting, for those of you that don't know, means giving yourself root permissions on your phone. It's similar running programs as administrators in Windows, or running a command with sudo in Linux. With a rooted phone, you can run more apps or install custom versions of the Android operating system. Note that there's a big difference between installing a custom ROM on an Android phone and just rooting it. Custom ROMs may offer plenty of features that aren't available direct from the manufacturer, but most of them can be added to a rooted phone by simply installing the right apps. That's what we're after today.
If you haven't rooted your phone yet, but would like to know more about the process, be sure to check out our always up-to-date guide to rooting Android phones.

We love Android, but rooting your phone can give you the opportunity to do so much more than your…
Supersu
Superuser is the first app a user should install after rooting, if the rooting method didn't do it already. "Rooting" a phone allows a user to establish total control over the device, but Superuser is the app that provides the button for that control. With Superuser installed, any app that needs root privileges to run will have to ask permission, and an informative pop-up will display with the option to give it those privileges. This app is an absolute must for any of the other apps on the list to even run.
Titanium Backup Automates System Backups
Titanium Backup is an enormously useful app. Not only can it backup apps, but it can backup apps and all their data, and it can delete apps—even system apps or bloatware. Making regular backups of all your apps (and their data) can ensure that if you ever really screw up, say in trying to install a custom ROM, that you can still have everything the way you left it should you need to wipe the entire phone and start from scratch. For more detailed information, see our full guide on using Titanium Backup.
ShootMe Takes Screenshots with a Shake
It's a sad fact that Android ships with no way to take screenshots. ShootMe is an extremely simple, user-friendly app that rectifies that situation, but it needs the phone to be rooted first. ShootMe's greatest feature is that it allows you to choose from several options in deciding what the trigger should be for the screenshot to take place—whether it's shaking the phone, covering the light sensor, or just yelling at it (my favorite).
Metamorph Applies Visual Themes to Anything
Metamorph is a small app that allows you to theme any part of Android by applying simple patch files. Learning how to make your own themes isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world, but most users don't bother—there are plenty to choose from, made by other users who are absolutely nuts about theming. Parts of the system that can be themed by Metamorph include the lockscreen, menu screens, individual apps, or just about anything else that's ever displayed on the screen. It's all possible.
Adfree e Blocks Ads Anywhere on Your Phone
Adfree may actually be the greatest root-essential app available on Android, and it's one that you never see unless it needs updating. All Adfree does is block ads, but it does it for everything on the phone. Since the app works by blocking ad-serving sites at the IP address level (by modifying the phone's Hosts file), it doesn't slow your system down, and it does a remarkably good job. Even if you don't mind ads in your browser, using Adfree makes "free" apps from the Market much more tolerable, since most of them have pop-up ads that tend to ruin the experience otherwise.
SSH Tunnel Encrypts All Internet Traffic on Your Phone
Recently mentioned SSH Tunnel is an app that allows an Android phone to connect to the internet using an ssh tunnel for a completely secure connection. It's great for those times when you've got no data signal, stuck at work or a coffee shop that only has public Wi-Fi available, and you need to be sure that nobody is snooping your sensitive personal information as you connect to sites like Gmail or Facebook.
Tasker Can Automate Almost Any Task
Tasker by itself doesn't require root privileges to run, but some of its more impressive features do. Giving Tasker room to do what it does best is definitely a good thing, since it can practically automate your entire phone given the right amount of power. Rooting your phone is the only way to give it that kind of access.
Busybox
Busybox Adds True Linux Commands to the Android System
Busybox is often called "the Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux," because that's what it basically is. It's not an actual app that you run, but instead provides all the Linux/UNIX commands that we know and love. Without the commands installed, the barebones "Linux" that Android runs on top of can't really do too much, making apps like Terminal Emulator nearly worthless.
Wireless Tether Turns Your Phone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot
Finally, Wireless Tether. For many users, this feature is the single most important thing in the world of mobile devices, so having the ability to use it is a must. Wireless Tether turns an Android phone, regardless of carrier, into a full blown W-Fi hotspot for any nearby devices that need one. It's as simple as that, but only rooted phones can use it.
There are plenty of other apps out there that only work with rooted phones, and it doesn't seem likely that the carriers are ever going to allow phones on their networks to sell with root capabilities baked in. If you want the added functionality of these apps, there's just no way around it. You've got to go rooted. So, if you're convinced, head over to the rooting guide to see what's required to set your phone free

Top Android apps for audiophilesTop Android Video Player Apps
Top video editor apps for Android
Top Android Photo Editing apps
Top Web Browser Apps for Android
Top file manager apps for Android
Rooted Android Phone top apps
Top Sport live stream Android ap
Many of the Android apps we’ve recommended aren’t popular in the wider community. Of course, they’re all excellent—we wouldn’t suggest lousy apps—but often you can file them into the “niche” category.
So we wanted to take a step back and look at some of the all-time most popular Android apps in the Google Play Store. These are the ones that Android’s two billion active users have downloaded most frequently.here is top app list from 8 catagoreis for me
Top Android apps for audiophiles
If you're a music lover who demands the best sound possible, you'll be glad to know there are Android apps ready to meet (or exceed) your needs.Audiophiles are a special kind of particular. They look for only the best in breed to deliver the sounds to their heart and soul in ways others will never recognize or appreciate. If that's you, the idea of listening to your favorite pieces of music on a mobile device is laughable. However, you shouldn't be so quick to shrug off the platform categorically. There are apps available that can at least soothe your music needs while on the go.
1: JetAudio Music Player+EQ
If you're looking for one of the finest audio players for the Android ecosystem, you can't go wrong with JetAudio Music Player+EQ. There is a free and a pro version of this app and you may as well skip ahead and purchase the pro version (it'll set you back $3.99 USD). The pro version not only gets rid of the ads, but it gains the addition of a 20 band EQ (instead of the 10 band on the free version), a tag editor, FF/RW interval adjust, expanded notifications, and much more.
JetAudio is definitely the Android audio player for audiophiles. It supports .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .m4a, .mpc, .tta, .wv, .ape, .mod, .spx, .wma, and more. You'll also find in-app purchases for more sound effects, UI unlocker, and Pebble smartwatch integration.
2: Neutron Music Player
If you want a player with tons of options, Neutron Music Player (Figure B) should do the trick. The player costs $5.99 on the Google Play Store, but there's an eval version you can check out before making the big purchase. What do you get for your $5.99? Plenty. A 32/64 bit rendering engine, which will deliver to your ears the highest quality sound you can get on a mobile app. And because this app is developed specifically for audiophiles, numerous options are available. You'll have to go through the settings window and scroll through the configurations to see for yourself just how much flexibility Neutron offers.
Neutron supports one of the widest ranges of formats for any music player on the market. During playback, you'll also find a sleep and wakeup timer, on the fly replay gain, and more.
3: PlayerPro
One of the most user-friendly interfaces of all the audiophile-friendly players belongs to PlayerPro (Figure C). The standard version runs $4.95 USD, but there's an trial version you can try for free. Besides the outstanding interface, PlayerPro offers a simple EQ (expandable with the PlayerPro DSP pack), mixable audio effects, tagging, music stats, smart playlists, lockscreen widgets, and much, much more.
The PlayerPro DSP pack is a must-have. (Otherwise, you're limited to a five band EQ, which isn't acceptable to any audiophile.) PlayPro automatically downloads missing album artwork to keep your UI looking fresh. You can also skin PlayerPro with one of the many skins available from the Google Play Store.
Although AIMP (Figure D) doesn't offer as many bells and whistles as some of the other players on the list, it is a solid entry and heads above the standard Android audio player. AIMP offers support for multiple audio formats, CUE sheet support, 10 band EQ, auto detection of data encoding, album art support, internet radio support, and much more.
With AIMP you can downmix multichannel audio to stereo or mono and even register a file playing back as a ringtone. AIMP also supports playback from SD card, allows you to import files with a handy filtering mode, and even delete files from storage from within the app itself.
5: Poweramp
Poweramp (Figure E) offers a great UI that allows you to change tracks with a left or right swipe and change playlists with an up or down swipe. Beyond the UI, you'll get support for all the common audio file formats. The Poweramp 10 band EQ is one of the most responsive I've used and the tone controls really add to the depth of sound.
The full version of Poweramp costs $3.99, but you can give it a test run by installing the Poweramp Trial version. This music app also offers gapless playback, crossfading, replay gain, and more.
Don't think for a second that you can't get your sound fix while on the go. Any of these five music player apps will appease the 'phile in you until you can make it back home to your analog tube system with a sound as warm as hot butter.
Top Android Video Player Apps (2019)
In this guide we’ll share a list of the best Android video player apps. While most phones come with a video player pre-installed, the ones from our list below offer more features, better controls, and wider support for any video format on the market.MX Player
The first app on our list is MX Player, whose tagline is literally “Play Everything”. MX Player is the perfect blend of powerful codec support, ease of use, and a beautiful interface. It’s easy to understand and use, for anyone, while having more than enough support for enthusiasts at the same time. This is still my go-to app in 2019.
Another big aspect of MX Player is all the gestures. You can control almost everything right on the screen, without covering up your video content. It supports various gestures, swipes, or pinch to zoom. Fast forward, turn up the volume, pause, or change the aspect ratio all with ease.
MX supports color-coded subtitles, and you can even lock the app so kids can watch a movie without messing anything up, closing the app, or opening other apps. If it doesn’t have the codec you need, download some of the many MX codec packs from the Play Store. This app is highly recommended.
AllCast Video Player and Stream
Next, we wanted to recommend something a little different than your average VLC video player. If you’ve never tried AllCast, you’re missing out. AllCast specializes in sending all your locally stored content or videos to basically any and every smart device in your home. Stream and watch videos on your Roku, XBox, Chromecast, Android TV device, and most smart TV’s released in the last few years.
This supports most codecs, and will basically let you “cast” any video file (or photo) from your phone or tablet to a wide array of devices you might own. So while it’s not your typical video player app, it plays a little of everything, everywhere. The free version only gives you 5 minutes of video, but the paid version is unlimited.
VLC Player
Of course, we have to recommend VLC Player, which is actually the video player I use every single day. VLC is one of the most popular video players in the PC world, and they have a pretty great Android app too.
VLC is pretty much the pioneer of do and play everything, and like MX, is simple to use yet extremely powerful. VLC supports almost every video codec you can imagine, lets you add-on more if needed, and gives you lots of controls and options. From gestures to change the volume or brightness, subtitles, tracks, or stream different audio files with video. It’s perfect for all you torrent users.
Then, on top of playing anything from your phone VLC works with network streams, network shares and drives, and DVD ISOs and more. It’s just as capable as the PC version. VLC works with Picture-in-Picture mode on Oreo or Android Pie, too.
AC3 Player
When it comes to playing video files on Android a common frustration is anything with the AC3 codec. We’re sure you’ve seen that error before, especially if you’re coming from Apple devices to Android. If so, try the AC3 Player linked below.
There are a few different AC3 Players on the Google Play Store, but this one is our favorite. It does video, audio, manages your files, and has plenty of playback options and controls. It’s a good all-in-one video player to handle AC3, Apple files and handles just about anything else at the same time. It might not be feature-packed like some players, but it has all the essentials.
Archos Video Player
Another excellent video player app for Android is the official Archos Video Player. In the early days of Android tablets, this was the only app I ever used. And, it’s still extremely capable today. As an added bonus, if you use an Android TV Archos Player is a must-have download.
Archos Video Player has a huge selection of codec support, a clean and easy to use interface, and Album Artwork. Yes, it doesn’t matter where the video came from, it will look like a purchased video file. You’ll get the DVD cover artwork, playtime, and all that premium information you’d expect on Netflix. So even if you torrent videos, you’ll get a great experience with Archos. Pair it with the SHIELD TV and you’re all set.
BS Player
One of the oldest video player apps for Android is BS Player. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s not worth using. In fact, despite the odd user interface BS Player is extremely easy to use, powerful and filled with features or controls.
It supports network DLNA streaming, multi-core hardware decoding, tons of codec packs, and the ability to stream video from compressed formats. That’s pretty neat. We like the screen-lock so you don’t mess up a video file, and all the controls for volume, brightness and more right from the now playing screen.
Video Player All Format
Another highly recommended video player app for Android is “Video Player All Format”. Odd name aside, this app has tons of features, including 4K video playback.
These guys support nearly any video codec or format, and the app has lots of fancy features. Lock down the video player with a password or pin, play videos in the background, use subtitles, control everything with ease, gesture support and more. It’s just a clean, simple, yet powerful video app for Android.
PlayerXtreme
If you ever used PlayerXtreme on iOS, you’ll be happy to know it works great on Android too. Xtreme supports over 40 different file types, codecs, subtitles, hardware acceleration, and streaming from anywhere. It basically does everything and is a great all-around video player.
Not only can this play virtually any video on your Android phone or tablet, but you can stream content in or out of a PC or smart device at the same time. It works with your computer and all those video files, your phone, tablet, or your Android TV device. It’s quite powerful, so check out the Google Play listing and see for yourself.
Mobo Player
Another popular and well-established video player for Android is Mobo. This app does a little of everything. From batch editing video files, compression, video editing and GIF making, and playing videos too. Yes, a little of everything.
Mobo Player has a beautiful interface, works with tons of codecs, 4K video, streaming support from multiple devices, DLNA, and thumbnail artwork are included too. It basically plays almost anything, lets you edit your videos, and looks good at the same time. Give it a try.
KODI
Previously known as the Xbox Media Console, KODI just has to end this list. Everyone should know about KODI by now, but if not, this basically turns your Android device into a powerful multimedia hub.
With KODI you can access locally stored content, streams from the internet, torrent streams, network storage files, internet files, and other popular apps. It basically pulls video files from anywhere and everywhere, no matter the file type or codec, and plays them. It’s one of the most popular video players on the planet for a reason, so get this if you haven’t already.
Top video editor apps for Android
best video editor apps for AndroidVideo editing is one of the heaviest tasks that a device can perform. On computers, it requires decent specs, tons of RAM, tons of storage, and some know-how on how to make it work. Because of this, it’s one of the more difficult tasks to reproduce on mobile. Phones do not have the specs or power to replicate experiences like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro. You will not find anything even close to that on mobile. However, some apps can do the basic stuff pretty well. It’s even good enough for some pro vlogging if you’re patient. Without further delay, here are the best video editor apps on Android. You can also click here to see the best video editors on most platforms!ActionDirector Video Editor
Price: Free / $3.99
ActionDirector is one of the most popular video editing apps on PC. It's also available on Android. It does the basics. You can import clips, edit them, and render the video. You can do things like add your own music, trim and cut video, add text, employ slow motion, and more. It's one of the few video editor apps that also supports 4K video. You'll have to check and see if your device supports it, though. The developers have a nifty tool linked in the Google Play Store to see if yours can. It also gets frequent updates.
Adobe Premiere Clip
Price: Free
Adobe Premiere Clip is one of the big names when it comes to video editor apps. It has a laundry list of features, including the ability to auto-generate videos using your images and video if you don’t want to do it yourself. If that’s not your thing, you can edit your video manually using a variety of tools, effects, and music. The app boasts that you can use your own music but some users have found this process to be difficult. It does sync and work with Adobe Premiere Pro so you can start a project on one and continue on the next one. However, you'll need an Adobe Creative Cloud account to make all the syncing work.
FilmoraGo - Free Video Editor
Price: Free / $7.99
FilmoraGo is a video editor app by Wondershare. It's easily one of the best video editor apps. This video editor packs a whallop. You can do the basics like trim and cut, render, and that kind of stuff. It also includes the ability to play in reverse, do square videos (1:1) for Instagram, and 16:9 videos for YouTube specifically. It also has support for things like slow motion, transitions, music, overlays, and more. It's not half bad for what you get. There are in-app purchases that add to the power. However, most of the features are, in fact, free.
Funimate Video Editor and Effects
Price: Free with in-app purchases
Funimate is one of the surprisingly popular, but not overly powerful video editor apps. It bills itself as being a great app for making music videos or simple videos out of the stuff you already have on your device. There are 15 video filters that you can play with and the creation process is fairly painless. This isn’t something you’d want to use on a serious video. It has things like video effects. However, it's better for short little social media posts rather than actual video production. You can download it for free to try it out yourself.
KineMaster
Price: Free / $4.99 per month
KineMaster is one of the most powerful video editor apps available. You can do the basics like most of these other video editors can. However, this one includes multiple video, image and effect layers. Additionally, there are audio filters, chroma key (for your green screen fans out there), various video effects, transitions, and more. It's not as powerful as a full desktop editor. However, this gets much closer than most other competitors. We would recommend this for actual video production (at least for stuff like YouTube). You can use it for free in trial mode for a while. However, you'll need the $4.99 per month subscription to get everything forever.
Movie Maker Filmmaker
Price: Free
Movie Maker Filmmaker among the best free video editor apps currently available. You’ll be able to trim, crop, and reorder video content as well as set focal points. The app also boasts a variety of video effects and you can design your own custom filters, although that functionality isn’t amazingly powerful. It also has the rest of the basics, like music. The app has struggled with some bug issues since it’s major redesign, but it’s still one of the better video editing apps out there. It’s also completely free with ads.
PowerDirector
Price: Free / $5.99
PowerDirector is one of the most comprehensive video editor apps on this list. It comes with a ton of features, including quick editing tools, various effects and other tools, and it even comes with things like a collage maker and slow motion support. The interface is relatively easy to work with and it utilizes the classic timeline editor method. It should be more familiar for those who video edit often. It’s free to download and use, but you’ll need to fork out some extra money to get all the features. This is a for real video editor, especially for larger screens like Chromebooks or tablets.
Quik is from a newer generation of video editor apps. It's halfway decent if you need something simple. The way it works is you add up to 50 photos and video clips into the app. The app then analyzes them and spits out a short video from them. Quik contains about two dozen video styles and you can re-order and customize your video before you export it. It’s not nearly as powerful as something like Adobe Premiere Clip or PowerDirector, but not everyone needs something that intense. It's free to download with no in-app purchases.
VivaVideo
Price: Free / $3.99
VivaVideo is one of the exceptionally popular video editing apps. In practice, though, it's a very middle-of-the-road video editor. It works especially well for short clips for social media. The app uses a storyboard style of editing where you load clips, edit and trim them as needed, and then move on to the next segment. It includes over 200 video filters and various other effects, text input, and fast and slow motion support. VivaVideo has a free version that comes with a watermark and a time limit for any given video. You can remove these restrictions by buying the pro version.
VideoShow Video Editor
Price: Free / Up to $19.99
VideoShow Video Editor is one of the more popular video editing apps. It’s a simple video editor that lets you do the basic stuff like trim video, organize your clips, and add music. You’ll also find some additional features like the ability to add emoji and text to videos and a variety of video effects to make things a little more fun. It’s great for stuff like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, but it’s not powerful enough for bigger productions. You'll want to check out something else for that. The app is free to download and use with some additional stuff available as in-app purchases.
Top Android Photo Editing apps
With the dawn of the camera phone, people became a lot enthusiastic about photography using their mobile devices. Finally, with the growing usage of smartphones, a new trend came in, photo editing. People were no longer satisfied by the raw images and just like on a desktop, they started craving for Android applications that allow them to edit the images. At present, there are three types of photo editing apps for Android devices.One that tries to challenge desktop applications.
Apps that make the job easier for the user by adding lots of drag and drop effects.
Social media image sharing app that just adds some basic filters.
Let’s discuss the six of our favorite photo editing apps for Android and what makes them special.
Adobe Lightroom
For ages, Adobe has been the master of creative applications. Well, this time they have expanded their domain over Android as well. Lightroom for Android provides you with multiple features like removing red-eye, editing RAW images that you have clicked using your smartphone or DSLR as well as the usual features like adjusting saturating, brightness, contrast etc. Also, they frequently release updates that comes with loads of features. However, to use some of those features, the users are required to have a valid subscription in the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Bonfire
If you want to convert your photos to a work of art, Bonfire should be your choice. Apart from providing the basic filters like HDR, black and white and image adjustment tools, it also has blemish removing and skin smoothing features as well, however, the thing that makes it special is a set of unique filters. One of them is Fancy, which turns your photos into a watercolor painting. Although Prisma started this feature years ago, Bonfire is worth giving a try.
Effects Pro
If you like to play with advanced effects, filters, stickers and another way to make your image unique, this app is for you. It comes with more than 30 filters and also provides its users, the freedom to add frames, stickers, and texts similar to Phonto app. You can also finger paint on your image and make it a bit unique. Although the number of editing tools is small, this app is worth using if you want to add some effects to your image.
PicsArt
PicsArt Photo Editor has been existing in the market for quite some time, and till date, it has a record of more than 250 million downloads. The developers are also doing a pretty decent job by regularly releasing updates and making the app modern. Apart from all the basic tools including light adjustment and filters, you can also make collages or add stickers to your image. There are more than 100 editing tools and the fact that it also has a community where creative users can share their images makes it simply great. The icing on the cake, you can also create animated GIFs as well as paint something on your pics. The basic version with all these options is free, while the premium one gives you access to quite a lot of features which are ad-free as well.
Snapseed
Currently acquired by Google, Snapseed became quite a powerful photo editing app sometimes ago. It is a tool preferred by professional photographers because of its ability to edit RAW images. The images can also be converted into a variety of smart sliders using the one-touch enhancing tool. If you are into playing with filters, the app provides you that option as well. A one of its kind, the app is free as well as ads free. Followed by Adobe applications, this is the one which is my personal favorite.
Google Photos
Last but not least, comes the best app from Google. It helps users to back up their images and also allows them to edit the light and color balance as well as add filters to fine tune the images. If you do not want to download any external application, this is for you since it comes as a default app in all latest Android versions.
That’s all from our end. Download any one of your choices and give complete freedom to your creativity. Do let us know in case we missed any other great photo editing app.
Top Web Browser Apps for Android
Why use Chrome or Safari on a smartphone when there are multiple new-age browsers to choose from?Browsers are essential to the internet experience. They are often our first gateway to a world of knowledge, information, and entertainment.
With increasing smartphone penetration, mobile browsing is on the rise too, especially in emerging markets across Asia and Africa. In India, for instance, mobile traffic tops desktop traffic in a 4:1 ratio, according to a 2018 Statista report.
As a result, a variety of mobile browsers are now being sampled by users who want to experience the web effortlessly on their five-inch screens. Besides mobile versions of popular web browsers, i.e., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera, several app-only browsers are gaining ground, especially on Android.
Developers are using Google’s open source project ‘Chromium’ and WebKit (the engine that also runs iOS Safari) to roll out attractive, user-friendly, secure mobile browsing apps.
While Chrome for Android continues to lead the market, YourStory drew up a list of alternative browser apps that not only break the monotony of mobile browsing, but are also light on device storage and high on user controls.
Dolphin Browser
Dolphin Browser, developed by Sequoia Capital-backed MoboTap, was one of the first alternative browsers to support multi-touch gestures. It allows users to draw letters on their touchscreen phones to open certain websites. So, while a ‘T’ for Twitter and ‘F’ for Facebook come preloaded, you can feed the browser with custom gestures too. Dolphin’s voice search feature Sonar lets you browse, share on social networks, bookmark websites, and navigate the entire web without typing a word. Available on both Android and iOS, Dolphin Browser has recorded over 150 million downloads.
Utah-based startup Cake, backed by Kickstart Seed Fund among others, wants to ‘reimagine’ mobile browsing by making it a visually appealing experience. The startup launched Cake Browser earlier this year and it picked up word of mouth for its Tinder-like ‘swipeable search’ feature that makes browsing a noticeably different experience. It minimises search time by suppressing the search index and preloading pages in the background after you’ve searched for a word or a topic. Cake fast-loads pages even on a 3G connection. The browser has recorded over a 100,000 Play Store downloads.
Cake BrowserFlynx
Flynx, developed by Noida-based startup InfiKen Labs, operates on a floating window form unlike other browsers that take up the entire screen and force you to abandon all current activity. You can open Flynx tabs even as other apps run in the background. Flynx’s quick read mode eliminates ads and loads only the relevant content thus saving time and data. The browser also supports offline download of pages for later consumption. Flynx has notched up over 500,000 downloads on Play Store, and has been translated into over 15 international languages by volunteers.
Kiwi, developed by an Estonia-based Android developer, hit Play Store in April, and has already been downloaded 100,000 times. It is available on Android only because iOS does not support third-party browsers. Kiwi packs in a crypto-mining blocker that prevents hackers from using one’s phone’s CPU to generate cryptocurrencies. The browser also supports background play of videos from sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Kiwi is aggressive when it comes to blocking ads, trackers and notifications, and it auto-accepts cookie compliances as well.
Firefox Focus
Firefox Focus is Mozilla’s new browser that focuses on user privacy and security. It started out as an ad-blocking app on iOS in late 2015, but was rolled out as a full-fledged browser across platforms last year. It notched up over a million downloads in a month. On Firefox Focus, every session is in private mode. It allows one-tap browsing history deletion, blocking for third-party ads and all kinds of web trackers. These strong filters make pages lighter and help them load fast. The blocking features are enabled by default.
MCent, developed by Jana Mobile, is a browser that rewards you with free data for browsing. Listed on Play Store as the “recharge browser”, mCent has recorded over 10 million downloads. The browser tracks your usage and awards you points with every site you open. You can redeem these points to buy recharge packs from your mobile operator or utilise them to pay off a phone bill. The browser also offers bonuses when you engage with ads or refer the app to friends. Till date, it is said to have distributed over 4.5 billion GB free data to users
Top file manager apps for Android
Every Android smartphone comes with a built-in file manager app. These folders help you arrange your files and documents accordingly, and even move them. This is also the directory where you can see all the media contents of your phone. Keeping this in mind, a file manager is an extremely vital part of the Android experience. However, some stock file managers have some features lacking, especially the ones that come from the manufacturers. This is where the versatility of Android kicks in, allowing third-party developers to build file manager apps for Android smartphones. So if you find that your current file manager is simply not doing the trick, you will be relieved to know that there are a multitude of file manager apps out there that can replicate the experience of your default file manager.However, given the vast contents of the Play Store, it can be a tough ask to search for the best file manager apps out there. But we’re going to make your job easier today by talking about five of the best file manager apps available for Android right now. You have probably heard about some of these apps, but there are a few on this list that you might not know about. So let’s begin.
ES File Explorer
This particular file manager app will end up on top of every list given the immense popularity it enjoys on the Play Store and among the Android users. It is the preferred file manager app for many, and it’s no surprise that ES File Explorer has already seen nearly 500 million downloads. All of the features available here are designed to make your lives a tad bit easier. This app also allows you to connect to local networks to share data. You can transfer data between two devices by setting up a secure connection. The best part here is that the app will do all of that for you.
At the core, ES File Explorer can be used to create new folders on your SD card or internal storage, move files, and make some other necessary changes to your file system. You can even link up your cloud storage accounts to access them from anywhere. As far as features are concerned, ES File Explorer is probably one of the best apps available out there. You can download the app for free, although there are ads. The app is compatible with devices running Android 4.1 and above.
File Manager
Fundamentally, all file manager apps follow the same protocol – offering easy access to the device’s files and folders. File Manager app does the same, and very well. It’s a simplistic looking app, which means that you won’t get a flashy UI here. However, its features work very much on par with any top file manager app. You can set up remote access, cloud accounts, and more using this app. Files and folders can be moved, deleted, renamed, compressed, bookmarked and more, using File Manager. What I personally like is the ability to personally analyze the storage and clear out unnecessary junk from your folders.
It’s clear that there is really nothing to distinguish between this and any other file manager app. However, the UI leaves a lot to be desired. The best part here is that the app is free to download. However, there will be some ads now and then on your screen. Unfortunately, the developer doesn’t offer an in-app purchase to remove the ads. You can use this app if you have a smartphone or tablet running Android 4.0.3. If a simple yet effective file manager is what you need, this will get the job done perfectly.
AndroZip
This particular application has been around since 2009, making it one of the first Android archiving apps to ever surface. Keeping this in mind, you’re expecting a pretty decent file manager here, and the app doesn’t disappoint. Standing the test of time, AndroZip has some of the features that we see on other newer file manager apps. However, it slightly differs from the other apps we’ve talked about here. AndroZip was launched as a compressing and decompressing app, allowing you to extract and create zip folders. These features are still very much in the app, while it also lets you search and edit/modify the files and folders on your device.
In fact, if you invest in the paid version of the app, you can create archives using AES 128 and AES 256 bit encryption. This makes it one of the top archiving apps on Android, and it also helps that it works like a file manager. You can back up your apps if you’re looking to shift to a new device, and even install APK files to install on your phone or tablet. The developers recommend using this on a tablet as a larger real estate will provide a better experience. The app is free to download and comes with some ads.
File Manager
Apps which don’t have elaborate names are often ignored by the users, but this one (in addition to an app we discussed above) are clearly the exceptions. While it seems like a standard file manager app, it’s a very functional app. This one too, comes with the ability to compress files on your phone to save storage space. It comes with support for cloud services, allowing you to browse all of your data (native and cloud) in one place. There’s a built-in recycle bin as well, allowing you to clear your device of cache data, which can take up quite a bit of space.
Naturally, you can also access your microSD data here, which is a key feature of file manager apps. The app is also designed very well, and you can find all the data you need in one place. It’s a free download, although you will have to deal with ads.
ZArchiver
This app has been around for a while, and is one of the most reliable archiving and decompressing apps available out there. The best feature of this app (for me anyway) is the fact that it comes with a simple scrollable list of folders rather than chunky icons on top. This allows for easy scrolling and is a big plus if you have a lot of folders on your device. It’s a pretty neat app, and clearly the best archiver going around. It might not offer some of the features that the aforementioned apps offer, but that’s not a dealbreaker. The app is updated frequently, so you can be assured of getting bugs fixed (if any) and getting new features on board. The app is a free download, much like the other apps on the list, and has no ads or in-app purchases. Be sure to check it out
Rooted Android Phone top apps
Android phones are spectacular little devices because they're able to so much that others simply can't, but one big snag in that greatness is that many of those best features require that the phones be rooted. Whether you plan on installing custom ROMs or not, you may want to root your phone just to use the great apps that require root access. Here are the ten most essential apps available for Android that require root.Rooting, for those of you that don't know, means giving yourself root permissions on your phone. It's similar running programs as administrators in Windows, or running a command with sudo in Linux. With a rooted phone, you can run more apps or install custom versions of the Android operating system. Note that there's a big difference between installing a custom ROM on an Android phone and just rooting it. Custom ROMs may offer plenty of features that aren't available direct from the manufacturer, but most of them can be added to a rooted phone by simply installing the right apps. That's what we're after today.
If you haven't rooted your phone yet, but would like to know more about the process, be sure to check out our always up-to-date guide to rooting Android phones.

We love Android, but rooting your phone can give you the opportunity to do so much more than your…
Supersu
Superuser is the first app a user should install after rooting, if the rooting method didn't do it already. "Rooting" a phone allows a user to establish total control over the device, but Superuser is the app that provides the button for that control. With Superuser installed, any app that needs root privileges to run will have to ask permission, and an informative pop-up will display with the option to give it those privileges. This app is an absolute must for any of the other apps on the list to even run.
Titanium Backup Automates System Backups
Titanium Backup is an enormously useful app. Not only can it backup apps, but it can backup apps and all their data, and it can delete apps—even system apps or bloatware. Making regular backups of all your apps (and their data) can ensure that if you ever really screw up, say in trying to install a custom ROM, that you can still have everything the way you left it should you need to wipe the entire phone and start from scratch. For more detailed information, see our full guide on using Titanium Backup.
ShootMe Takes Screenshots with a Shake
It's a sad fact that Android ships with no way to take screenshots. ShootMe is an extremely simple, user-friendly app that rectifies that situation, but it needs the phone to be rooted first. ShootMe's greatest feature is that it allows you to choose from several options in deciding what the trigger should be for the screenshot to take place—whether it's shaking the phone, covering the light sensor, or just yelling at it (my favorite).
Metamorph Applies Visual Themes to Anything
Metamorph is a small app that allows you to theme any part of Android by applying simple patch files. Learning how to make your own themes isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world, but most users don't bother—there are plenty to choose from, made by other users who are absolutely nuts about theming. Parts of the system that can be themed by Metamorph include the lockscreen, menu screens, individual apps, or just about anything else that's ever displayed on the screen. It's all possible.
Adfree e Blocks Ads Anywhere on Your Phone
Adfree may actually be the greatest root-essential app available on Android, and it's one that you never see unless it needs updating. All Adfree does is block ads, but it does it for everything on the phone. Since the app works by blocking ad-serving sites at the IP address level (by modifying the phone's Hosts file), it doesn't slow your system down, and it does a remarkably good job. Even if you don't mind ads in your browser, using Adfree makes "free" apps from the Market much more tolerable, since most of them have pop-up ads that tend to ruin the experience otherwise.
SSH Tunnel Encrypts All Internet Traffic on Your Phone
Recently mentioned SSH Tunnel is an app that allows an Android phone to connect to the internet using an ssh tunnel for a completely secure connection. It's great for those times when you've got no data signal, stuck at work or a coffee shop that only has public Wi-Fi available, and you need to be sure that nobody is snooping your sensitive personal information as you connect to sites like Gmail or Facebook.
Tasker Can Automate Almost Any Task
Tasker by itself doesn't require root privileges to run, but some of its more impressive features do. Giving Tasker room to do what it does best is definitely a good thing, since it can practically automate your entire phone given the right amount of power. Rooting your phone is the only way to give it that kind of access.
Busybox
Busybox Adds True Linux Commands to the Android System
Busybox is often called "the Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux," because that's what it basically is. It's not an actual app that you run, but instead provides all the Linux/UNIX commands that we know and love. Without the commands installed, the barebones "Linux" that Android runs on top of can't really do too much, making apps like Terminal Emulator nearly worthless.
Wireless Tether Turns Your Phone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot
Finally, Wireless Tether. For many users, this feature is the single most important thing in the world of mobile devices, so having the ability to use it is a must. Wireless Tether turns an Android phone, regardless of carrier, into a full blown W-Fi hotspot for any nearby devices that need one. It's as simple as that, but only rooted phones can use it.
There are plenty of other apps out there that only work with rooted phones, and it doesn't seem likely that the carriers are ever going to allow phones on their networks to sell with root capabilities baked in. If you want the added functionality of these apps, there's just no way around it. You've got to go rooted. So, if you're convinced, head over to the rooting guide to see what's required to set your phone free
