This article seeks to explain benefits of a root on the android and what are main advantages of a rooted android phone that makes it essential for advance users ,I consider some applications simple and extremely useful that can be installed on rooted android phones . Let’s start the journey.
What is Android rooting ?
For starters, to clarify what is the root? In simple terms, it’s that process by which operating system your web device is modified in such a way that you get access and total control over it. That means you can easily jump over the limitations imposed by mobile operators and device have been delivered or over the phone producers, can extend the functionality of the system and you can upgrade or degrade if you want .
Rooting is not something that manufacturers or mobile operators encourage and agree, but they can not do anything to prevent this, which is why this practice has become a habit for those who want to exploit the potential of a mobile phone .
Warnings before going to root your android
Before going to root your phone , please read
- It will void your warranty
- Root only if you are confident why you are rooting your phone ( first see benefits of rooting in article below and set your mind why you want root)
- Make sure that the Guide you are following for rooting is for is for your phone , check exact model no. usually found under battery .
- Proceed with care and double check each steps
- Make Sure that Guide you are following is from a trusted source and feedback is positive
Otherwise your phone will bricked and company also will refuse it to repair due to violation of warranty T&C. You can ignore this warning if you have 500 euros thrown out the window.
Advantages of Rooting android
1. Total control over system
Rooting android phone will give you all administrator privileges ,on rooted phone you can access your system file , modify them . it is totally awesome for experienced user who loves to follow high level hacking guides.
2. Change Themes
Using daily one thing is weakness of humans , we want daily a new looking and style according to our choice. Same problem with android phone , But rooting comes with the solution it will give you the ability to install themes and change your phone look
3. Remove Unwanted apps
Manufacturers are providing various pre-installed applications on our phones , some apps are very important and some are only waste of our phone memory . After rooting your phone you can remove applications that annoys you.
4. Backup Whole System
On most phones that have received root Android, you can do a total system backup on the SD card, as say, as you can image a hard disk. It is absolutely wonderful, especially if you want to test a new ROM – you do backup the whole system today, you put the SD card, load and test the new ROM. Do not like? It’s okay, because the two clicks you can return to the old system, which have already been “image” on the SD card.
5. Install Apps to SD card
Even now many of the applications installed on your SD card offers (quite a noticeable trend in recent months), a root phone will allow you to install almost any application on your SD card, which gives you the option of home internal memory to save your android. It saves space on your phone and if you do that, your system will run faster. More information about this operation found here .
6. Installing Special Applications
You can install very useful special applications on your android phone after rooting it. you can find these application very easily and for free
[Part1 special apps] [Part2 special apps] [Part3 special apps]
7. Install New ROM , Interference
Interfaces that will actually change how your look. The possibilities are endless, from three years ago, when Android was practically in its infancy.Let’s open a topic on this subject would be an impossible task. The easiest would be to search an engine after the phrase phone name custom ROM , which is something I would say that the relevant results.
Haven’t rooted phone yet? I think it is time to do . For any advice, do not afraid to leave comments. Feel free to ask any question

Have a good day.
