Tip 9: How to recover deleted photos and files on root'ed Android phones

There are many application in play store to recover the deleted photos and files but only few among them does the real job. One such efficient application is Disk Digger. This app works only on root'ed Android phones.This powerful application will retrieve all deleted files, provided it's not overwritten by other data on the disk. Files can be recovered from both internal and external storage. First time when you open this app it will request for root privilege. After granting the required permissions apply filters such as JPEG, PNG, XML so that disk digger knows what type of file you are looking for. Scanning will take sometime and of course it depends on the size of the storage. Once scanned, select the files you want to restore and click on "save locally" option. Searching the required files from the list of scanned ones will be a tedious job. I wanted to search for couple of files but disk digger retrieved 4K files, it took very long time for me to search those couple of  files out of  those 4K files. This app can be made more efficient by adding one more filter for not listing out the files which are still present (i. e files which are not deleted). If you want to retrieve any deleted files or photos then this is the app for you. Only con of this application is, it works only on root'ed phones.
