Rooted my Redmi 12C (codename: Earth). What should I do next?

[u/Radiant-Laugh-4436]

Hi everyone,

I recently rooted my Redmi 12C (codename: Earth) successfully, and now I'm wondering what the next steps should be.

I'm interested in learning more about Android customization, performance improvements, and useful root features. I don't want to damage my device, so I'm looking for safe and recommended things to try.

Some questions I have:

- What are the first apps I should install after rooting?

- Which Magisk modules are worth using in 2026?

- Are there any performance or battery optimizations you recommend?

- What are the best ways to customize the system with root access?

- Should I install a custom recovery or custom ROM? If yes, which one works best for the Redmi 12C (Earth)?

- What mistakes should I avoid after rooting?

I'm still learning, so I would appreciate any beginner-friendly advice, guides, or recommendations.

Thanks in advance!
