How to root HTC One M9 on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow [Guide]

HTC One M9The HTC One M9 can now be rooted on the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow software update so you can start installing all of your root requiring applications on the device again. One of those applications you might be interested in installing is the System App Remover which does a darn good job at removing your system apps. Those same system apps are what people usually refer to as bloatware when they do not like what the apps bring to the table. Like you know, bloatware does nothing for a device but slow it down and take away from your HTC One M9’s performance, so it’s of little use to you.

Correspondingly, one of the main reasons to customize a device is to have some fun with trying to increase the performance. There are a few ways to increase the performance of your HTC One M9; the other obvious solution is to overclock the CPU. However, overclocking is best left to experienced Android users who know all the finer details to do with hardware specifications because if you clock more than your hardware can handle it can be catastrophic to your device. So knowing that, we can safely say that removing the system apps by using the System App Remover application is one of the safest ways anyone can increase the performance of the HTC One M9 smartphone.
