why to root?

Hey fellas, today i am gonna talk about the topic called "ROOTING(Android OS)"


We might have come across this word when two people talking like "HEY I HAVE ROOTED MY PHONE AND NOW I CAN DO SOME COOL STUFF WITH MY PHONE" and you have no idea on what they are talking ,Or when you are just checking your friend's android and there are various cool features on his phone and you ask him "hey, how did you get this cool features?" and he's like "I have rooted my phone bro, And flashed the Cyanogen mod custom rom".Enough of this crap now let's just get to the main deal.


What is rooting?

The most common example you have windows operating system you have an administrator account and a guest account you can access to whatever you want in your administrator account but you cannot access those functions with the guest account . Similarly is with your android you are the guest not the administrator .And by rooting you will become the administrator of your android.You will be able to do lot more thing's that are disscussed .

Rooting-Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's sub-system. Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices. Thus, rooting gives the ability (or permission) to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system

Why should we root our device?

  1. After certain amount of time, The manufacture will stop providing you the system updates.Or you are just little impatient, you want the updates as early as possible. This is the first reason you can updates first before anyone can.
  2. If you are bored with the user interface of your device and you want a change the look and feel.After rooting you can flash in a new custom rom and the entire user interface.Now there are tons of custom rom's but my personal favorite is the cyanogen mod because it is the most stable and popular custom rom.
  3. You can remove the bloatware and preloaded apps.
  4. You can overclock your phone processor and make it run faster, or adjust it in a way to save battery life.
  5. You can change the boot animation or your shutdown animation.
  6. You can install the apps from the google play store that require root access.
  7. You can have a better backup by installing third party apps like titanium backup.
  8. Now if you have less internal storage and it's quite annoying.But after you have rooted your phone you can partition you sd card and can increase your internal storage.
  9. One of my favourite reason to root is that by rooting your phone you can install apps like lucky patcher and freedom that can buy you in app purchases all for free. Not only that you can also break some apps Android Market License Verification.

Disadvantages of "ROOTING"

  1. The major disadvantage of rooting android is that it void's your phone's warranty.And in future if any problem occurrs with your android. The Company is going to charge you even when it’s in the warranty period, Because the problem is not due to their software malfunction it's because of you who have rooted the phone.
  2. And the next big disadvantage, You might just brick your' phone.No Matter how carefully you follow the steps certain error's just might occur And you may softbrick your' phone. Not to discourage you When I first rooted my phone I ended up,softbricking my phone for a week, until i found the solution on the web.

CONCLUSION

NOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THE BENIFIT'S AND THE DISADVANTAGES. WHETHER TO ROOT OR NOT TO ROOT IS COMPLETELY YOUR' DECISION, WHILE ROOTING YOU CAN COME AGAINST MANY PROBLEMS,EVEN I DID. BUT ONE THING MATH'S HAS TAUGHT ME IS THAT "THERE IS A SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM"
