If we were to tell you that you can upgrade your performance of the smartphone without spending thousands of rupees on buying a new smartphone, would you believe that? There’s a hack for you if you are interested in upgrading your smartphone performance, so stay with us on this, but let us start from scratch!

The answer to your problem is ‘Rooting’ your smartphones. To put it in simple words, rooting is a process where you try to direct the hardware components of your smartphone to use admin privileges and drastically mold the system configuration to match your needs. The admin customizations are generally blocked by the carrier providers so that they can offer you a balanced and stable performance all over. But in case you want to customize your smartphone to serve the purpose, Rooting your smartphone is the way. You can choose several customizations, for example,easy-to-use, overclocking your CPU to offer enhanced performance, and rooting different apps to save and extend your battery life.

Rooting used to be one of those things only techno-savvy people could think of doing. But with the introduction of Magisk Manager in the market, the process has been simplified a lot. In this article, we are going to deal with all kinds of queries you can have about this topic. We will also deal with the steps required to Download the Magisk Manager. But first let us begin with discussing, What is the Magisk Manager?

What is the Magisk Manager?

There were some serious problems associated with the rooting process of smartphones. Especially the need of modifying the system folders. Also, the inability to use the banking applications on a rooted smartphone, and rooting and unrooting the smartphone to get the OTA updates.

But things have changed since the arrival of Android v.6.0 i.e. Android Marshmallow. Since then, there is some really good improvisation in the alternative methods to avoid this. Now a user can install mods that can automate this process of modifying system folders.

The Magisk is a ‘Systemless Rooting System’, which essentially means you can customize your smartphone’s system without changing the embedded core code. The main advantage of using Magisk is that it lets you use the financial and other high data security-demanding apps to run on your rooted smartphone devices.

Magisk Manager is essentially a mods manager which lets the user install the mods from a unified interface. Having such a systemless rooting system can let you unroot the smartphone at any point of time you want to and do that automatically. This helps the user to use certain apps that otherwise would not work on a rooted device. The mods (or modules), installed using Magisk Manager can help in increasing battery life, reduce the system lag on the smartphone, enhance the UI, upgrade or downgrade the Android version (even when the Android version update has not been rolled out for your device) or boost the smartphone’s performance.

What is the Magisk App?

Another commonly used term you may come across during the installation process of Magisk is the ‘Magisk App’ (or the Magisk.apk). Earlier, Magisk files had to be downloaded separately, first the .zip file and then the .apk file. This was not difficult but a time-consuming task. So to simplify this process, developers developed the Magisk App. 

Now, all you have to do for installing Magisk is, renaming the file from .apk to a .zip file. Also, you can manage all grant and deny permissions for different apps on your smartphone, using the Magisk App. 

The Magisk App comes with several kinds of mods that can be installed for free, to customize the performance factors of a smartphone. And if you are a coder, you can also add your repositories and mods on the app to use on your smartphone.
