KingRoot or KingoRoot? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure where I first saw about this app, but I ended up at:
kingoapp.com
Now I ran into another site:
kingroot.net
because I couldn't download the PC version of KingoRoot from the first link. Both links look to be 2 different companies, so which is real, which is fake, or neither or both?

There is no real or fake rooting app. KingRoot and KingoRoot are two different softwares to root Android. Both are genuine and may be safe to root your Android. I used KingRoot app to root my two android phones and never bricked.

Alright been a few days since I rooted with KingRoot from the kingroot.net website. Did a factory reset, no problems yet. Phone still acts sluggish and retarded. Tried experimenting with some features in ROM Toolbox, i.e. MinFree Manager, and any changes I make arent sticking. Do I need that KingUser app to give things root admin access? Downloaded the app on G Play that said KingUser and it was just a big ad that filled the screen. I take it the real .apk is on one of those mirror sites in google search? with the 5.0.X versions. At work now and those websites are blocked.

I used kingroot on modern stuff, Kingoroot on my SM-T800(Samsung Galaxy Tab S 16gb - WIFI only model)
both worked fine, I dont use the PC version of Kingroot, it has a tad bit o malware/bloatware with it, use the APK version instead

Yeah I downloaded the apk from kingroot.net and used it a few days ago. Then I searched and found KingUser 5.0.4 and ran it, which seems just be an addon to KingRoot? I tried searching for some good performance settings for ROM Toolbox to tweak the kernels available to change to settings on (interactive and ondemand), but all I find are apps to download or kernels to flash. I dont want to do any flashing of any kind just yet. Know where I can find kernel values for performance?

to my knowledge changing kernel values can only be done during compiling, if you mean like power use states etc try kernel adiutor

when I say kernal values I mean .config style, like...
CONFIG_TUN=y
CONFIG_PPP=y
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=y
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=y
CONFIG_PPP_MPPE=y
CONFIG_PPPOLAC=y
but for kernel settings like frequencies n power options kernel auditor will do the job

Ok I'm wondering if maybe the root wasn't 100%, cause I'm still having problems updating kernel settings, or CPU settings, or MinFree settings. I deleted ROM Toolbox and got Kernel Adiutor, and then I deleted the BusyBox app that ROM Toolbox prompted me to download, and downloaded the BusyBox app that Kernel Adiutor prompted me to download. Now, when I go to say, CPU under Kernel on the categories on the left, sometimes the settings I changed are saved, sometimes not. Same for CPU Hotplug and GPU. And I never get any confirmation that it's been changed, even though Toast is turned on in the Settings. Any ideas?

I am not a fan of KingRoot at all. I just feel that it's just ends up being more work that I feel is necessary.
There are individuals who have success with the app but, I've seen too many individuals who have had so much trouble with it not providing a proper root of their device.
I, personally, use the Wondershare PC software for obtaining root successfully and, when it's done, it also installs SuperSU, purely, for root management.
That's what I recommend using. It has a free trial period too. I ended up purchasing it because I just love the software and all the other features, besides rooting, that it offers.
Peace and Love!
