Mobile Odin is a great paid root app. This multi-device compatible application lets you manually install system files without needing to access recovery. You can modify the firmware and kernel files of Mobile Odin, without having to do it from recovery mode, so you can save energy. This article describes how to install a customized kernel with Mobile Odin.
The kernel is the system file that controls the CPU and GPU.

Customized kernels can boost phone performance, allow CPU overclocking, and more. Customized kernels require root access, so make sure your device has root access.
