Micromax A27 Bolt is one of the cheapest Android handset in the market. Selling at just INR 2,999, A27 Bolt packs a 1 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM and runs the pretty old Gingerbread (Android 2.3).
The paltry amount of ram makes multitasking on this phone not the best experience you will ever have. To tackle such issues, apps like Greenify can help you use your ram in a better way. Many other root only tricks can also help you get the most out of your phone. But before rooting, you might just want to take a backup of your phone in its unrooted state. Even once you have rooted your phone, you might want to keep a full backup of your phone in a working state, so that if any of your after-rooting story doesn’t go as planned, coming back can be easy. This whole full backup thing is made possible with the help of custom recoveries like Clockworkmod (cwm) Recovery.
