The Micromax Bolt A40 smartphone might not be as well known as some of the other smartphones out there in the world like the Samsung Galaxy S6 for instance, but it gets to run all the same root apps as the Samsung Galaxy S6 does. There is no difference between the root apps that can run on your low-end handset and the root apps that can run on your high-end handset. All you need to do is find out the names of the root apps that can assist you in creating a better device and also learning hoe to install them.
For the most part installing them is very easy and is done the same way you install most of your apps already. The vast majority of the root apps are available from the Google Play Store that you browse already for the non-root apps. The only difference is there is no front page available for the root apps showing you the latest and greatest ones to install. In fact, there is no help page at all for the root apps. They are all there and waiting for you to install them, however. You just need to learn the names and then browse for them using the search box in the Play Store.
