use the cache cleaning sparingly as someone who has had to teach this, over using cache clearing in android will see your apps perform slower, it's only useful for when you have app issues and need to make sure it's pulling newer accurate data from the server(s) the app is using.

I wish I was brave enough to root 😢. Those apps are exactly the sort of things I like to use. I'm glad to say that there were a few apps here that I did download that don't need root.

@JstormZx Жыл бұрын

You'll never be brave enough if you don't at least put one foot in the door. Here I am, a little less than a year into using my Redmi note 10 pro, I was already on a custom ROM and rooted. It's 2 years old now and ever since January 2022, I've never once stayed a single day without root. I had absolutely no experience with custom ROMs, recoveries and magisk prior to this. A little bit later, I even managed to root an obscure, unpopular device with *no* community support whatsoever ( device name: oukitel c17 pro. Android 9). It has only one (unofficial) custom recovery probably in existence. And the veterans know just how difficult it is to unlock the bootloaders of Mediatek powered devices. Anyway, Point is, don't say you're not brave enough...learn more about it, read, ask questions. I wouldn't have gotten this far if I kept saying to myself I wasn't brave enough. Get acquainted with the ups and downs. And actually do something. If you *really* want root (which btw makes my everyday life with my phone a hundred times easier and better than a normal person) ...get out there and educate yourself on what is there to be known. Straight up, I tell you. You're missing out on a lot of smooth sailing. Kinda like a person given just car keys, you can drive around, for sure. But it's not your car. You can't do whatever the heck you want, whenever you want.

@@JstormZx cool! I have a bricked LG phone. Do u think I can do anything with it?

@JstormZx Жыл бұрын

@@bhaskar1522 is this question supposed to be satire? If not, I'm going to assume it's not your fault the phone got bricked. *Because bricks are almost 8/10 times the user's fault, not paying proper attention while doing simple things.* Then you have cases where the device company released a faulty software update. • If it's a soft brick, surely you can get out of it. There are tons of videos on YT that provide ways to unbrick multiple different phones. You have a high chance of doing so successfully and by yourself at home. But if it's a hard brick, my condolences. Either it's taken for professional repair, which hopefully if it's an old phone, I pray for mission success...and if not, there's nothing you can do. So, as long as you can boot to the recovery and the phone somewhat responds to your input, but has no OS to boot to, there still hope.

@JstormZx Жыл бұрын

@@bhaskar1522 unless of course, you want to discourage people interested in rooting by using your own mistake as an example. That's embarrassing. "Hey look, I damaged this chair I was sitting on because of my ignorance, now I must begin to (cunningly) discourage people from sitting on chairs ever again!" If it's you who bricked that phone, that's your problem and by your own error.
