If you know what you are doing with the Android operating system, you can have much more fun with access to the root file system — we call this root access. With root on the Huawei Ascend Y210, there are no app limitations anymore. Meaning you can download any app that you see from the Google Play Store.

Some of the applications you might want to try for your rooted Android include Xposed Framwork, Rec, Titanium Backup, BetterBatteryStats, Root Explorer and the ROM Toolbox Pro. The Titanium backup is the best backup experience you will have in comparison to apps without root access. However, should you decide to install a custom recovery, you can also take a NANDroid backup when in recovery mode. The NANDroid backup is better yet again. Although, you can only use the NANDroid with a custom recovery. Rooted users have the Titanium Backup app as the best alternative available.
