    The ability to backup your entire phone to Box, dropbox or Google Drive. V6 Supercharger script changes your OOM values and stops launcher redraws.

    With Titanium Backup(which requires root) you can back up all of your phones data and upload it to one of the aforementioned services. As for V6 OOM values are changed to speed up your phone significantly and stop launcher redraws. :D

    Ever returned to your homescreen, greeted by a blank screen for a brief second, followed by your icons and stuff popping up, rather than it being there the moment you press the home button? That's a launcher redraw. Your homescreen/launcher gets treated as an app, and sometimes it gets pushed out of memory.
