Apps of the Week: Leo’s Fortune, PassAndroid, Topia and more!
7/19/2014 3:43:36 PM
There’s no better time than a Saturday afternoon to sit down and check out some new apps for your Android, and we hope to kick off that weekend content discovery with our Apps of the Week column. Once a week we round up an app from each of the writers here at Android Central, and get a quick explanation of why they chose that particular app.
This week we’re looking at a couple of great game choices, an Android Wear watchface, a Passbook alternative for Android and a few other picks to round out the list. Read along with us this week and see the apps that Android Central is using.
There is no magic in root

Removing some of the mystery of the superuser
While reading around the Internet last week, I noticed several otherwise fine publications making a mistake that far too many people make — claiming that rooting your Android phone or tablet or watch (we can’t forget the watches) will make things run better.
That’s a trap that far too many people fall into, because having superuser access (root) on any Linux-based machine can allow you to do things that make your device better. It can also allow you to do things that make a device run worse, or even break everything and leave you with a pile of copper and silicon that won’t ever do anything ever again. The old adage of “with great power comes great responsibility” really is true.
But by itself, having superuser access does nothing.
