An application that requires root access to run is different from one which does not. Root apps can read other apps data and that’s the secret to having so many apps that can do amazing things like the Titanium Backup app.

There’s no question Titanium backup is far greater than any built-in backup option your device comes with out of the box, and it’s far better than any app on the Google Play Store. This is all you need to do to start installing root-requiring apps on your device. You can find those apps available from the Google Play Store.

  16. Now just regain control of your Google account and you’re done.
  17. You can double-check the guide worked for you by installing the root checker app from the Google Play Store.
