Why To Root Your Android Device

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 or phones.
