How do this app work? It claims to boost performance of any Android devixe by tweakin

This app claims to boost performance of android device, how do it work. More importantly is it safe as it ask for SuperSU permission, what is SuperSU permission anyway. I think I heard somewhere that superSU just mean allowing access to the SuperSU app, am I right or is this goong to give the app control over EVERYTHING (ie malware heaven).

Super su or superuser are apps that help you control what has access to your phone. Once rooted your phone becomes mostly free to use as you want. Having an app like supersu will help you keep malware at bay as anything requesting root access needs to go through it. So you aren't open for attack unless you grant something malicious permission
As for the app you want, I can't say how well it works but there are for sure some that help on older phones in particular. Usually any of the tweets an app like this offers you can do yourself manually, this just makes it easier to use. Try it out, if you don't like it delete it

App dont seem to do anything. Could be a case of malware. Like wallpaper apps that ask for dialing permission. Unless ofc other have something good to say about it.

I never used this application, but if you want to increase performance, use Adrenaline engine or Fly on Mod

Google play store No connection error

Hey everyone i need help please my phone (that hates me) has decided to not let me use the play store. Am running jb v20f stock firmware with root and cwm recovery. I didnt modify it at all and i got a gapps downloaded but theapk for the playstore doesnt help. Should i flash it instead? I might also have access to another phone that is the same as mine except with just root. Any ideas?

Hello Ashindigo
Have you installed Ad blocker on your device or any other mod to block ads? If yes, Then remove it and also remove hosts file from /system/etc/
(Don't forget to take a backup of hosts file before deleting it)
Ad-Blocker cause No Connection error to play store
The gapps HAS to be for JB 4.1.2. It has something to do with compatibility. For example, 4.2 gapps won't work. It gives a parsing error.

My friend had this problem with her Zeki tablet. It doesn't come with Play Store or the Google Services. I think my brother fixed it by using App Backup and Restore and moved the apks to system/app using root explorer. Not sure what he did after that.
I can upload the apks if you want. That's if you haven't restored yet.

Well, getting into fastboot is a good sign. If you don't see the inverted menu giving the option to unlock, then that's unofficial fastboot.

Google play store update?

I was wondering, can you install a update if you are not rooted? I tried hitting install and nothing happens, only cancel seems to work. Would like to avoid rooting if possible and the only reason why I want to do this update is to pay via PayPal.

yes, but this should have been posted in the Q&A section. Not the "general" section.
Ah, sorry, still getting used to the app lol.
*edit* EasyEyes app was preventing me from being able to install for some reason, temporarily disabling allows the install.

[Q][ROOT] Struggle while trying to root Nexus 4?

I want to root my Nexus 4 with using Superuser. I have installed it and app said; su binary not found so can't update. After that I installed SuperSU and got this. (Screenshot attached.)
