Rooting
andriod why and how ?
Huge advantage of rooting is it allows you to install the
latest build of Android on your device. For instance: you’ve got a Galaxy S3
and just learned Samsung isn’t updating it to KitKat. Well, if you root your
device, that doesn’t really matter, because sooner or later there’ll be a
KitKat ROM you can flash onto your device.
Rooting isn’t just for the hardcore coders and hackers
amongst us, either. Literally millions of people run rooted Android phones and
the reason for its popularity is pretty simple: rooting removes bloatware;
rooting can improve battery performance; rooting takes you out of the
where’s-my-update-loop; and, lastly, rooting grants you more control over your
device, which, at its core, is what Android is supposed to be all about.
What You Can
Now Do With Your Rooted Phone?
Custom ROMs
The first thing you’ll want to do is install a custom ROM.
Again, there’s a myriad of options available to you now your phone’s been
liberated – so feel free to explore your options. One of the best in the
business, however, is CyanogenMod. It’s stable, regularly updated and always
uses the latest and greatest build of Android. Definitely worth a look, if
you’re new to the rooting game.
Banish
Bloatware
If you bought your Android on contract, chances are it is
jam-packed with bloatware (translation: useless software put on by handset
makers and carriers). You’ll want to get rid of this superfluous BS right away,
and to do so we recommend you use Titanium Backup – it’s simple and very easy
to get to grips with. Bye, bye, bloatware!
Overclock
The CPU
Having root access to your device’s software opens up a lot
of doors if you’re interested in performance boosts. For instance, say you want
more CPU power when playing games, all you need to do is download Set CPU – or
something similar – and configure it to kick the CPU into overdrive once you
boot up Dead Trigger 2.
Improve
Battery Life
You can do similar things with customized kernels also. Many
are about maximizing a particular handset’s performance and getting more out of
older hardware; handy if you’re running something like the Galaxy S3 or HTC One
S. Other kernels are all about power conservation and are designed to improve
the efficiency and, therefore, battery life of your Android.
ROOTING
