App Drawer with Superuser app.

So, now that you have successfully rooted your android smartphone, you should see a superuser app icon on your App Drawer (as shown in the image beside). This app is used to manage root access to various root applications which you can search and download from Play Store. A list of few root apps that are useful can be found at this article. They are quite useful ones so check them out.

From now on, whenever you run a app that requires root access you will be prompted to Allow or Deny the request by the superuser app. Be careful when allowing the access since some applications might collect important data from your device and send them to their servers without your knowledge (In case you want to be extra cautious about this issue , PDroid Privacy Protection app is your best bet. You can learn more about it here). Also, in case you want to revert back to the original secure state, you can Unroot your device with the same app as mentioned above. Run the app and then click onUnroot button and your device will be unrooted within no time.
