3 questions for all android users

• Are you using all the features and the settings of your android OS?

• Can your mobile run every app available on play store?

• Do your android phone have latest software updates and will your android phone

get the upcoming software update?

INTRODUCTION (CONT.)

The Answer is..

NO!

INTRODUCTION (CONT.)

• Rooting is the process by which you gain administrative access to

your phone,

Even though Android is an open source operating system, you still

don’t have full “root access” to do what you please on your phone

WHAT IS ROOTING?

• Rooting is means gaining root access to your device

• By gaining root access you can modify the device’s software on the

very deepest level.

• In Linux, “Root” users have all rights. (Read, Write, Execute)

• “Rooted” any app can be given “root” permissions.

• Thus any app can now run as the root user and access all data on the

phone and change anything it wants to.

WHAT IS ROOTING? (CONT..)

• The Android OS is designed to by default not allow any application run

with root privileges.

• So essentially “rooting” is way of hacking into the Android system.

There are several benefits to rooting, Some are as follows:-

1. Improved performance:

You can speed up your Android device by relocating your phone’s cache, thus allowing you

to save phone memory and have a faster phone.

RAM increasing is possible by Rooting

WHY ROOTING?

=+

2. Altering system files: You can replace many parts of the “Android core.” Doing so,

you can add new themes, edit the core apps, binaries etc.

3. More application choices: You will be able to install apps that are only compatible

with rooted phones .eg over clocking apps, tethering etc.

Pre-install Applications can be Removed.

WHY ROOTING? (CONT..)

4.Latest Android OS (operating system):With many manufacturers (Huawei, Sony

Ericsson, Samsung etc.) holding back the updates to the latest Android operating

system, rooting your device will give you the option to install any current and future

OS’s by installing custom-tailored ROMs. Also, you can try ROMs with many useful

features

HOW TO ROOT?

BEWARE**

CONCLUSION

• Rooting simply makes you a super user of your Android OS and

Android Phones give us only features of Android average users,

who we are not.

• Android Hacking will be enhanced by Rooting, which can be used in

wrong way.
