WHY ROOTING MY ANDROID PHONE
If you want to have a speedier
smartphone or tablet that runs the popular open-source operating system
then overclocking is the way to go.
There are a number of apps already available on Google Play that allow users to tinker with the processor. SetCPU for Root Users is
one, and it can help you squeeze extra performance by increasing the
voltage and frequency of the processor among other things.
2. Protect your device and your data.
Smartphones and tablets are
expensive and for some people hold valuable and private information.
It's natural to want to keep them safe.
avast! Mobile Security and Cerberus anti theft are
two apps currently available on Google Play that work best with rooted
device. Both have a number of features that require elevated privileges:
avast! Mobile Security brings an extra layer of protection from a
firewall that monitors network traffic, while Cerberus for protection
against theft can't be uninstalled on rooted devices and can auto-enable
GPS on versions of Android newer than 2.3.3 (like later versions of
Gingerbread and Honeycomb or Jelly Bean). The last feature can make the
difference between a lost and found device.
3. Remove bloatware and customize your Apps.
Wouldn't
you like to remove unnecessary apps from your device? Carriers for
instance include branded software that is often unremovable, which is
where having elevated privileges comes in handy.
Titanium Backup is
an app available on Google Play that makes use of root in order to give
users complete access to installed software. Using it all apps can be
uninstalled, which is only possible because it runs with elevated
privileges. Want to remove carrier bloatware? That's how you can do it.
4. Make backups of your device.
Fiddling with the device may not
always produce the best results. A backup can save users the headache of
starting from scratch after something went wrong.
Using Titanium Backup, Android
users can take advantage of its main feature, which if the name is of
any indication is... backing up apps and settings. It requires root
because the folder in which apps are installed is only accessible with
elevated privileges. It also comes in handy after installing custom ROMs
to restore apps without downloading them yet again from the app store.
5. Configure restricted settings of the phone.
Does the display have a yellow
tint? Then using an app such as Trickster MOD the gamma offset and color
multiplier can be changed to suit your specific needs. Do you want to
enable fast charge in order to speed up the process of charging the
device via USB? It can do that too. File managers such as Total Commander when
paired with elevated privileges allow users to have access to various
system files, allowing to modify the hosts file for instance.
The real upside in having a rooted
Android device is that it is no longer bound by the confines established
by the manufacturer. If there is a functionality that does not work as
you'd like to, it can be adjusted. Rooting is freedom for Android
devices.
