Rooting Your Android: Benefits and Disadvantages

Hello Guys... What's going on...!!

So... you are in a confusion if you should root your new and expensive Android phone. There might be many questions popping in your mind like what is rooting exactly..what are the benefits
of rooting.. any disadvantages of going through with this process? Well, I’ll take these up in my post today and try to answer them.

Rooting is essentially giving you administrative access to your device. Once your device is rooted, you will have an application by the name of Superuser that can be found in your app drawer. This application is where you can control the permissions of any applications that require "administrative" rights. This is a simple way of looking at it.

Benefits of rooting Android phone

1.Root Access / Super User access

Once your Android device is rooted, you now have access to various files/parts/sections of your device that previously should not have been available. This is a pretty good thing which allows for more customizing and other things like being able to remove system apps. System apps are normally stuck in there with no way to uninstall/remove them. It also allows for apps that require root access to be installed and run properly/better.

2. Remove Pre-Installed Apps

There are many cases where manufacturers and carriers will install apps that you wouldn’t want, like, or need. They’re just going to sit there taking up space on your planet!! The most likely case is that they’re set as system apps. You can’t normally uninstall/remove them. Rooting will definitely help to fix that.

3.Custom ROMs and Kernel

A kernel is the part of an operating system (Android of course) which helps apps and whatever else needed to control the various hardware aspects of your Android device. There are various goodies that come with a custom kernel. Adding features that were not there before and improving performance and battery life. A ROM is a modified version of Android that can be installed. Again, extra features and usually a large variety of other goodies are included with custom ROMs. Custom ROMs can be installed and used even without rooting. The thing is, you’d be much better off using a custom ROM with a rooted device. Custom ROMs really can drastically change the look/feel of your device with their heavy duty customizing. The fun part is they also come as stock Android. This means they’re the basic Android install as typically found on most devices. This is surprisingly handy because they can be used for a variety of purposes. Especially when it comes to un-rooting your device.

And many others.....

Disadvantages of rooting Android device

1. Root Access / Super User access

Sure, it’s seems pretty nice to have this. Up until something goes wrong. Do note that one wrong setting or move in the wrong place/time, and “here comes the pain”.

2. CPU Clocking

Although there’s a wide variety of apps out there to help you increase and decrease CPU speed and at least some have pretty good safety features, someone is almost always bound to get it wrong and BBQ their device.

3. Bricking

This is the dreaded word of the rooting world. When you brick your device, it simply means your Android device is now a very fancy and very unusable brick. Yes, there are ways to fix it. It can be surprisingly easy to brick your device. The list of ways is mountain sized. You’d be amazed at some of them.

4. Custom ROMs and Kernels

Yes, they sure can be pretty nice to have and use. They can also be a total nightmare wanting to happen. Get the wrong ROM and/or kernel, your device gets bricked or just outright goes crazy on you. These disasters can cost you a lot in the way of time, money, and effort to fix.

5. Warranty

It’s well known that rooting an Android device will void its warranty. Un-rooting might not work every time. So this particular problem is definitely situation dependent. It’s a matter of if you care about it or not and if the device was under warranty to begin with?
