Rooting

What is rooting?

• Rooting is the process of allowing users of the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems.

• Rooting gives the ability (or permission) to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized applications that require administrator-level permissions or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user.

• Rooting an Android phone lets the owner add, edit or delete system files, which in turn lets them perform various tweaks and use apps that require root access.

Advantages:

• Support for theming, allowing everything to be visually changed from the color of the battery icon to the boot animation that appears while the device is booting, and more.

• Full control of the kernel, which, for example, allows overclocking and underclocking the CPU and GPU.

• Full application control, including the ability to fully backup, restore, or batch-edit applications, or to remove bloatware that comes pre-installed on some phones.

• Custom automated system-level processes through the use of third-party applications.

• Ability to install software  that allows additional levels of control on a rooted device or management of root access.

Disadvantages:

• Compared with unrooted Android device, the rooted one faces a common threat from mis - operation and sometimes you may turn your Android device into a brick. Avoid this risk: Just download apps from reliable place like Google play, and, do not delete the files if the files are suggested not to delete by rooting apps.

• The Android device manufacturers will not cover the damage after you rooting your device. For some brand, we can unroot the device after rooting, so, the manufactures don’t know if you have rooted your Android device or not. But to make matters worse, Android device manufactures also go to great lengths to know if your device has been rooted!

• Sometimes you root Android phone to get latest OS but after rooting, you may find that the automatic updates to the firmware stopped. Updates fail to install due to software modifications that occurred while the distribution has been rooted.

Rooting an android device:
