It doesn’t matter what rooting tool you used to get the root access on your Karbonn Smart Tab as long as you got there in the end. All rooting tools make you in control of the same root user account, and that means that they are all able to install the same apps from this point onward.
Most of the root applications that are now available to you are up for grabs from the Google Play Store. You can browse for them if you know their names but you will find it difficult to find the root apps that are popular if you don’t because there is no front page or section dedicated to rooting apps like you see the standard apps showcased from Google Play.
You can find out the names of many of the great ones by checking out our post dedicated to writing about some of the best root apps for the Android operating system. Most of the apps from the list are on Google Play while the rest can be found from a Google search for them.
One of the only things you need to understand now that you are rooted is that you don’t want to install malware so make sure you are visiting the official websites of the apps if you are installing the root apps from outside of the Google Play Store. That is not usually too difficult to do because many of the apps that do have their personal websites still have the links going back to the Google Play Store when you try to download them. Most malware is removed from the Play Store quickly, so the chances of that being malware are slim. The Titanium Backup app is a great example of root apps that has its own website for you to learn more about, but the link to download Titanium Backup is available from Google Play.
