One of the all-time classic reasons to root an Android device has always been to have a free mobile hotspot. The reason is still around today with thanks to the Wireless Tether for Root Users application that is available. With the Wireless Tether for Root Users app, you can easily set up a WiFi hotspot with little fuss.

You might also be interested in checking out other apps for rooted users like the WiFi Protector app, Push Notifications Fixer, Root Browser Lite, DriveDroid, Rescan Media ROOT, Battery Calibration or the Font Installer app. There are many more that can tweak your performance, remove bloatware and other things.
