Should I Root My Android Phone Or NOT??
Before Starting, let me ask you a Query...
What Is ROOTING??
Rootingprimarily means giving administrative access (root access) to your device. When the phone is unrooted, you can adjust only those settings & customizations which are allowed by your smart phone manufacturer. But, by rooting, you can modify the device's software to its maximum extent.
Once your device is rooted, an app named ‘Superuser’ gets installed in your device which allows you to control which apps should be granted administrative permissions.
Advantages Of Rooting:
When it comes to advantages, the list is nearly endless!!!
setCPU app also saves battery while the device is idle. |
- FULL SYSTEM ACCESS: First and foremost, you are now having full control over your system. You can now set the CPU speed of your device manually (using apps like ). It also allows you to overclock (increase the processor speed to an extent) your device, but I personally wouldn't recommend it.

- VANISHES INTERNAL MEMORY ISSUE: Rooting is a godsend to those devices which have very low internal memory. You can create a partition on your SD card and make that your internal memory. Devices originally having 150 MB of Internal Memory after rooting, enjoy 1GB of memory.
- BLOATWARE REMOVAL: With root access you can remove those system apps which can’t be uninstalled earlier (These may be the Bloatwares- those apps which are never exploited by the user and above all they can’t be removed).
- DEEPER BACK-UPS:

The Backup service is available to non-root
users also but if you have a rooted device,
you can make deeper backups. Use app
like or , these
apps not only backs up all of your apps, but
they can also back up all of the data stored
by those apps. So if you've been going great
in but you want to wipe
your phone, then you can use the above
apps to back up and then restore the game,
and you'll be right at that instant where
you previously left.
CyanogenMod: One of the popular Custom ROM |
- INFINITE CUSTOMISATIONS: As it is clearly known Android is already the most customizable mobile OS present today, but if you root your phone then you can almost do anything. If you want a total change, you can download custom ROMs. These Custom ROMs not only enhances your look and feel but can also update your Android Version.
Limitations Of Rooting:
A little Carelessness can cause your device to Brick! |
- Once your phone has been rooted, your manufacturer warranty voids. This is probably the most significant reason for those who are not rooting their Android devices.
- Another negative consequence is the risk of bricking your cool toy. But, the chances of damaging your phone are near to null if you follow each and every step very carefully.
- Rooting also compromises with your smart phone’s security, but it is not much serious concern.
Final Words:
As you can see, the advantages of rooting far overshadow the disadvantages. But still, rooting does not matter for those users who use their smartphones only for attending calls, SMS, or Facebook… The most important part of all is knowing your risks. Rooting can be dangerous if you don't have the proper knowledge about the procedure but still you started rooting.My opinion is to be patient, read all the instructions carefully, and don't hesitate to ask for help. You must remember that you are doing this at your own risk and no one else is responsible except you if you end up by bricking your device.

"I have not forced anyone to go and root their device, I'm simply enlightening what it is and how it can be used. You have been warned by my side."
If you already knew all this info then I am really sorry for taking your precious time... But I am sure it might help newbies...
