Root your Xiaomi Redmi / Hongmi / Red Rice
Got my Redmi a while back and one of the first thing I did was to root Xiaomi Redmi. Some of you may ask why? Perhaps I am too used to a rooted Android smartphone. I use apps like Greenify to hibernate nasty battery juice draining apps. To me, I felt that battery life is an important thing for a smartphone.
That pretty sums up why I want to root Redmi. And here is the guide to root your Redmi.
