The Micromax A91 Ninja runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out-of-the box, and it seems it’s the only version of Android that it has been able to get on itself. If you’ve got this phone and are bored of it just because you haven’t got any software updates for it, you can root your phone and get access to a number of root-requiring apps that will help you kill the boredom and keep you attached to your lovely A91 Ninja.

Root access allows you to run root-requiring apps on your phone. These are the apps that go beyond the limit to help you customize your phone. Whether it’s the launcher or the boot-animation, if you don’t like it, you can have it changed with the root-requiring apps.
