General Tips.

0. All Firmwares above 1.5T are already Rooted. No need to Root the Tablet.

1. Don't forget to transfer all your moveable installed applications to Internal SDCard to prevent

long Boot-up time.

2. Every installation of Non-necessary apps, disable it @ Startup Manager using Android

Assistant. So it wont add to Boot-up time.

3. Every installation of Non-necessary apps, check how much battery it is using. Un-install if its

using too much battery even if not in use like Facebook for Android apps.

4. Do not FILL your Tablet with BullCrap Applications. Install what you need only.

5. As much as possible, Turn-OFF your Tablet while its Charging. And DO NOT POWER ON

the Tablet when it auto-shutdown already @ 5%.
