Thanks Kuskro! I went through your setup and the M96 feels more responsive now.
Some notes:
- I had to use the Towelroot method, there was no way I could connect the M96 through usb to launch the rooting. I installed the drivers, etc. and still no success
- I tested ezPDF but reverted back to Neoreader it seems better optimised for the M96. I haven't tried Lightning launcher either, the default one is good enough for me.
Do I need to do anything to revert the rooting or I can continue using the M96 as is? Does Antutu CPU Master need the rooting to continue working?
