ROOT-

About ROOTING or SUPERUSER-

If you are new here probably ROOT or SU(Superuser) might be a word you are quite unfamiliar with. Probably you would not be able to guess the purpose of ROOTING. But when you are here just don't have any fear. This thread will help you for sure. After reading this you would be knowing what rooting is, the perks, the disadvantages and how to root.

Rooting in simple words is attaining of root privileges on Linux family OS including our Android Platform. Root privileges are very similar to WINDOWS Administrator. By rooting your phone you can overcome the restrictions imposed upon your device by manufacturers. After Rooting your phone you can simply Modify your whole device at your will. You could even install Custom ROMs. There are loads of benefit of Rooting. We will see few of them here.

The Perks of ROOTING-

1. You can boost your device performance by Overclocking. Please see you need a overclock support kernel.

2.If you are on Android 2.1 or less and want to use your phone as Wi-Fi hotspot you can do so by using apps as Wireless Tether for Root Users. These apps require root permission. Also you can use them if you are unhappy with Android 2.2+ native hotspot capability like lack of Bluetooth hotspoting, no WEP etc.

3. INTERNAL MEMORY FULL? Root and use App2Sd to save internal space and use SD card to install apps.

4.Root to browse and modify system files, delete them and more. Also you can get extra space by deleting unwanted apps.

5. Phone has no Live Wallpaper support by default? Enable it by rooting and copying files. You need supported files for your device.

6.Bored of same UI? Change Lib and Framework files to get a new interface,

and many more.

The Disadvantages-

1.Potential Threat of Data and Identity theft by programs having SU (Superuser or Root) access.

2. Voided Warranty.

3. You may brick or damage your phone.

Is it LEGAL?

On July 26, 2010, the U.S. Copyright office announced a new exemption making it officially legal to root a device and run unauthorized third-party applications, as well as the ability to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.

Should I root?

I cant say about this. It depends on you and your use. But in my opinion here on XDA rooting is somewhat you should surely have. If you use a Custom ROM you are already rooted. Depends on you to take risks, neglect warranty that has already expired or nearing its end soon and then enjoy the Android ROM to fullest.Please see no one is responsible if you brick your phone. So are you going to root?
