Root Helper Android Application

Android API: 8

This is an old application I developed for Root Users. Most of the functionality requires root permissions. Everything in the application does work and works well but as you can see, it lacks on the front end. I just wanted to let you know that this application was created for me to learn the Android OS and I ended up using it quite a lot since my phone was rooted.
