- Get rid of pre-installed bloatware, e.g. by using Titanium Backup.
- Permanently request desktop site on Chrome, e.g. using Chrome User Agent  (this may not actually require a rooted device.).
- Add additional apps that can support multi-window for multi-window compatible devices, e.g. by using MultiWindow Apps Manager.
- Add useful apps that require root, e.g. f.lux, or Root Explorer

Disabling camera shutter sound in Google Camera

This only works if your android has been rooted.

A Google search suggests renaming the camera_click.ogg file, however this did not work for me. The file I had to rename was called Shutter.ogg

1. Use ES File Explorer to navigate to system/media/audio/ui
2. Rename the Shutter.ogg file to disable shutter sound.


April 2017 update: camera shutter sound can now be disabled via settings.
