Rooting Your Android Device

Know the process of rooting any android device with appropriate tools.

Hello there! Welcome to this tutorial about rooting your android device. Through the post we'll keep it simple and straight so that you can follow up perfectly if you are new to rooting. Let's first take a quick overview of what actually 'Rooting' is.

• Rooting is a process allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.

• Rooting enables all the user-installed applications to run privileged commands that are typically unavailable to the devices in their stock configuration.

• Rooting is required for more advanced and potentially dangerous operations including modifying or deleting system files.

• A typical rooting installation also installs the Super user application, which supervises applications that are granted root or super user rights. A secondary operation, unlocking the device's boot loader verification, is required to remove or replace the installed Operating System.

What is Rooting?

• Rooting is a device hack that provides users with unrestricted access to the entire file system of their android mobile devices.
• Rooting is a process allowing users of smart phones, tablets, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.

Why is it called "Rooting"? 

• The term "root" comes from the Unix/Linux world and is used to describe a user who has "superuser" rights or permissions to all the files and programs in the software OS (Operating System). The root user, because they have "superuser" privileges, can essentially change or modify any of the software code on the device.

Advantages of Rooting :

1. Be a master of your device : Rooting your android device gives you administrative rights on your device. After rooting a device you can access system files and modify them.

2. Get rid of "Bloatware" : Bloatwares are the software or Apps which are pre-installed on your android device by your device manufacturer and which are of no use at all. These kind of Apps take large amount of RAM and storage on your phone. You can not uninstall them until you root your device. Rooting allows you to remove these bloatware from your device and free up RAM and also increase the storage capacity.

3. Customize your device : Customize your phone the way you want with the various kind of Themes, Interfaces, Animation and Styles. Installing Custom ROMs will make your device unique and you can install 3rd party applications to make your phone rocking!

4. Install Apps to SD card : You would wonder if you can install any app to your SD card or move apps to SD card from phone memory. Well, rooting will help you in this too! After rooting your phone you can install almost all Apps to your external SD card and thus you will have lots of freed up space on internal storage and so the faster system.

5. Backup and Battery : After rooting your device you can install custom bootloader to take complete backup of your device as an 'image' file. You can restore the device as the same state as it was earlier anytime. With a rooted phone your battery performance will be noticeably increased and you will have excellent battery life.
