Today, we will walk you through some best practices which you can apply to get the control of your device by one such particular mode called “ kitana” .

What’s this kitana and what does it do?

A fair question which arises when we mention this term. It’s a command line based mod for controlling various settings of your Android. It includes battery, Kernel tweaks and lot more. Only requirement of this app is that your device must be rooted to have this. If you do not want to root your phone or not have one, then disappointingly this post doesn’t help much.
