9 THINGS EVERY ANDROID OWNER TRY IT NOW 1. Supercharge your Wi-Fi Did you know you can tell  Chrome  to save time and money by reducing data usage? Most people don't. By using this setting, I've cut my data usage by 30 percent in the past month. How's that for easy savings? Go to  Chrome > Settings > Data Saver  and turn it on.

How To Install A Custom Recovery To An Android Phone / Device A custom recovery lets you perform several advanced operations on your Android device and we have covered it before in some of our guides but now, we will be detailing several available methods that you can use to flash a custom recovery to your phone.

What Is TWRP Recovery & How To Install & Use It On Android Devices  Till just over a year back, ClockworkMod (aka CWM) was the go-to custom recovery for pretty much every mainstream Android device. Things have changed a lot since, with a newer player entering the game and gaining a lot of critical acclaim, as well as a huge user base.
