Why to root android device | Reasons to root your android
Rooting
means becoming a Super User of your device i.e. you use your device as
per your preferences from the base than compared to how manufacturer
wants you to use it. You just bypass the limitations imposed by the
manufacturer and become the master of your device. Though as compared to
other OS being an open source Android provides lot of freedom but still
there are many things you would
Allow you to load powerful apps
The
most attractive advantage of rooting your Android tablet is its ability
to install powerful applications that require more-than-usual
privileges to your device. Google in fact provokes users to root their
devices by providing several great apps which need the access to root.
Apps like Network Spoofer or Wi-Fi kill which troll people on wireless
networks, Proxy droid which helps in connecting to Wi-Fi networks with
proxy settings. More like Market Enabler, ROM Manager, and Chainfire3D
are more app for which users are compelled to root their devices. For
these apps all you need is to search for root on Google Play to see some
of the root-only apps.
Gives you better backup and restoration
As
compared to other OS I found Android’s built-in backup and restore
functionality is pretty weak. You can use third party alternatives but
if access to root solves the issue then what is better than that. For
example Titanium Backup lets you backup all of your apps and settings
locally as well as on Dropbox and ClockworkMod. Recovery lets you take
“nandroid” backups which are complete images of each and everything on
your device. Restoring means going back to your previous configuration
without anything lost. Titanium backup needs root because the folder in
which apps are installed is only accessible with elevated privileges.
It will save you from the problem of starting from scratch after
something went wrong.
Gives you better performance and Custom ROMs flashing
Rooting
will allow you to flash a custom ROM. You will get better performances
and new user experiences. Apps like SetCPU which lets you speed up or
slow down your chip for more performance/battery life needs you to root
your Android tablet. It will squeeze extra performance by increasing the
voltage and frequency of the processor among other things. Some apps
are free some are paid but spending a little is worth than buying a new
device.
Earlier
the main reason to root your device was to get access to missing
features such as multi-touch, Wi-Fi-tethering and Apps2SD then Google
incorporated these features in Android itself. But still there is so
much which can be done with your device once you get the root access.
But as they say, “With great power comes great responsibility” so it
becomes the responsibility of the user who roots his Android tablet to
take care of the damages they can do their device. Once you get the root
access you get the power to incorporate whole new options to your
tablet but if it is used improperly then it may play havoc to your
device.
Note:
Also keep it in mind that rooting will void your warranty and hence if you get stuck then no retailer would help you to get you out of the trouble. Hence, always do your homework before you start in this direction and I am sure with proper knowledge you can do wonders with your Android tablets.
