Understanding Root AndroidAndroid root function is to give the user full rights to the Android to be able to get into the Android system.

If the analogy Windows computer operating system, Android root function is to give administrator privileges to the user.By doing root Android will not necessarily increase the performance or capabilities of Android phones. Rooting Android as "open the door" for you to develop this operating system.Why Android operating system developer does not provide root access since the beginning?It aims to protect the Android operating system as a whole.

Is the casing will cause the computer to disassemble become damaged? Of course not.However, if there is damage whether to scorch the warranty? It is clear, because the service center to see that the warranty seal has been broken and gave the verdict that the computer is damaged due to be demolished, but the damage caused by other factors.Similar to root Android. If HP is damaged, for example, the speaker does not ring and you bring to the Service Center with ter-root condition, then there is a possibility of a warranty claim will be rejected and said that phones damaged by the root, when in fact it is not.But actually you do not need to worry too much, in contrast to the warranty seal, the process can be reversed or phone root restored to their original condition. This process is called Unroot. If the unroot process is done, it will automatically back guarantee will apply.

It is said that by doing Root, then applications such as virus or Trojan malware can easily get into the file system and did commit theft or destruction of user data.However, even though HP is not actually in the root, where the virus was "mean-spirited", then without any root, virus applications can easily access the file system.Root Android Advantage:Pros # 1: Can Installing Applications that Require Root AccessHere are some examples of applications that require root access to the most widely installed:

With overclocking, the processor can be "forced" to work faster than the speed of luggage that can improve the overall performance of the phone. However, overclocking can shorten processor, make the battery more extravagant and fast heat up and there is also likely to cause the system to become unstable.Note: In general, by just doing root alone, you will not automatically be able to overclock the processor, but the kernel of the phone / tablet Android supports it. But by doing root, you can do underclock processor or decrease the speed of the processor to be more efficient battery consumption.Excess Root Android # 4: Can Uninstall Application Factory DefaultsBy doing root, we can uninstall applications the factory default useless and only meets the phone memory.
