   - Can create a custom theme.
   - Can use applications that require access privilege (root privileges device).
   
   Note: root is not going to change the display, root does not make the device faster, and root does not necessarily make the device to be stable, reduce internal memory, free up ram or more.
2. App2SD
   App2SD is actually a fiture natively on the operating system android 2.2 (froyo). App2SD allow users to store multiple applications into the SDCard. However, this feature has a limitation on froyo, app2sd which can be implemented if the application that we download is allowed to be installed to the sdcard.
3. MicroSD
   MicroSD cards cannot be denied, is an important component of our activities with a handheld. Good for storing photos, songs, files and even video. But in its development microSD be the deciding factor when we want a performance from our handheld, with features app2sd example. So it's worth listening to the explanation below:

5. overclock
   create a device to run on a higher speed than the provisions of that device makers. The principle is to create higher performance. But this treatment is risk causing a decreased stability of the system until the destruction of computer peripherals in overclock. Overclock is usually practiced by the user’s PC to "force" a computer peripheral work beyond the capacity of the manufacturer specified standards with the ultimate goal to improve the performance of computer work.
   
   PC devices that is tantamount to forced overclock beyond its original capabilities. However, overclocked PC, in addition to making the system becomes unstable; it can create damage to the hardware, especially the Main board, RAM, and processor.
   
   Good thing a lot of hardware now made ​​with fabrication that has been reliable for the purposes of overclocking, so if the insight understanding and experience of overclocking, the damage can be avoided when overclocked.
