WHAT ACTUALLY IS ANDROID ROOTING ???

Hi , Today starting with our first post. We will tell you what  ROOTING  is actually.


Android 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 subsystem.


The main advantages of rooting:

Custom Softwares: A ROM (Read Only Memory) is the software that runs your devices. In market there are many great custom ROMs available that can make your Android device look as well as perform very different. You can easily upgrade you Android to newer versions manually. With the help of this custom ROM, user can load newest available Android Versions. There are many custom ROMs available from which you can easly choose the beat one which suits your needs the best. The best place where you can get customized ROM is XDA Developer forms and you can also search on Google.
Custom themes: Themes are the graphics that appears in your android device. After rooting your Android device you can fully customize the theme of your android device. You can load custom themes available free on internet to give your Device a free look.


Android version: As mentioned earlier in the ROM section. After rooting your device, you can easily upgrade your android version to latest Android version before they are officially released on that device. The feature is good for those people who want to stay up-to-date in technology. It also help outdated devices which no longer being updated by the manufacturer of the device.


Other features: Memory - It is very helpful for devices with low internal space like Samsung galaxy y as after rooting Android device we can easily use our memory card to increase internal space of our mobile phone. More the internal space more we can play or download apps on our device.
Additional features - Many features are locked or not available in unrooted phone. After rooting android phone user gets the ability to unlock many features. One of the best example is of Wi-Fi threading. It also lets you run a special app that runs only on rooted phone named Superuser that lets you control which app have access to the root system.

The main disadvantages of Rooting are:

Rooting immediately voids phones warranty status. Once user root his/her phone the warrant provided by the phone company is completely voided. So, please dont try to root you android phone when in warrant because when we root our phone these is probability of bricking of phone which is described below.

One of the main reasons of not rooting your Android device is the risk of bricking. Bricking of device means screwing up of phone software so badly that phone can no longer able to perform its function and phone becomes as unusable as brick. As warranty is also voided with rooting then you have to purchase new device.

Though the intention of rooting of mobile phone is to enhance the performance of Android device. Many times user had found that there device had lost both performance speed as well as features. Remember that when youroot your Android phone, you are making changes to the stock OS.
