Rooting the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone is commonly done to improve the visuals on the display. We all want a screen that gives us the best quality from the resolution, but we don’t always get given as high specs as we otherwise could have if our batteries could last longer and if our OEMs did’t want to save the best resolutions for the premium devices only. One way rooted Android users are learning to make the most out of their display is by rooting the device and then installing the DPI Changer app. With the DPI Changer, we can change the DPI (or pixels per inch) to give our screens a different desired look.

The DPI Changer application is just one example of what you can do with the rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone. There are many more great reasons to root, including oodles more apps to choose from the Google Play Store, XDA-Developers forum and other websites such as the J. Rummy apps website which is home to all of J Rummy’s work such as the ROM Toolbox free and premium versions.
