Before you are able to utilize any of the amazing
custom roms available, you will need to root your phone. However, there are many other reasons why rooting can greatly enhance your android experience. To those that used iphones, rooting is the equivalent of jailbreaking, and basically unlocks your restrictions and gives you full access to everything on your phone. There are a couple reasons why rooting may be beneficial...
1. Privacy Guard/
Apps Ops - Dislike the permissions that some apps want and the fact that they can see your contacts, texts, and personal information? With apps ops, you can limit permissions on a per apps basis.
2. Adblock - Who doesn't like ad block?
3. AOSP lockscreen - Especially to those Samsung users that cannot have security and a camera widget at the same time,
this is a perfect alternative.
4. Battery friendly - With
apps that require root, you can greatly increase your battery life and functionality
5. Latest updates - And of course, there are the
beautiful custom roms. Never stay behind in the android world because you don't get OTA's. Benefit from the roms made by xda developers and get the latest android version.
Sounds good? Let's root
