INTRODUCTION
Rooting is simply the process of allowing users of Android devices attain privileged control (root access) over Android's subsystems. Rooting opens a door of limitless possibilities to the end user since it allows you to break the boundaries set by the stock OS.
WHY YOU SHOULD ROOT YOUR ANDROID
As I said earlier on, rooting your android device gets you flying higher with your device. Rooting gives you that opportunity to tweak your device to the maximum and get the best out of it. Let's have a look at some reasons why you should root you your device.
- Speeding up device and keeping battery healthy:
Some apps are just great, but to be honest, they become even greater with root access. Some apps that we run everyday to keep our phones faster and keep our batteries healthy work even better when the have root access. They go into the subsystems to give great tweaks that give us even better performance.
- Blocking ads:
Some app developers just go off the line with the type of annoying ads they embed in their apps. Some of these ads are so intrusive that you keep getting tapped every time you try tapping something on your screen causing wastage of time, data and creating loads of frustration. With a rooted android device, one can say goodbye to those stuff with the root access required apps like a adblock.
- Call blocking:
As the title suggests, through rooting, you are able to block those calls you have received before and wouldn't want to receive ever again through the help of a simple app called root call blocker. Root call blocker is an app that goes into Android's subsystem and prevent calls from blocked users from ever coming through by blocking the numbers on the network so the caller does not even notice they've been blocked.
- Clearing junk Pre-installed apps:
Yeah, those crazily annoying apps that have been pre-installed by the device's manufacturer. With a root, you can easily clear them. After all most of them are actually not of any use to you. So gain some space, RAM and CPU now by clearing those thrashy things called apps from your phone with the help of some root required apps like pre-installed app remover.
- Auto-tasking your device:
As the title says, with rooting, apps like Tasker and device control help you auto task everything. Yeah, I know that without rooting, you can do all these but with rooting, you are spoilt for choice. You will be able to even time your 3G, WiFi, GPS, CPU speed, GPU and even the time for the screen to even turn on. So if you want to enjoy auto tasking in a better way, then you should root your device.
- Opening the door to limitless possibilities:
Sometimes, Android does not really give you what you want. Sometimes, apps are blocked by carriers and some key features you want are totally unavailable. All thanks to rooting, we are now able to get all that and even more. With rooting, you are able to make incompatible apps compatible, get carrier-blocked apps, even get WiFi tethering working on phones that initially don't support it and so much more.
- Backing up your whole device:
With an unrooted device, you can be able to back up apps but never the data. With rooting and with the help of apps like titanium backup, you can back up everything from installed apps to data through to pre-installed apps and even the whole Operating system.
- Flashing custom kernel:
To be honest, most of Android's great tweaks require flashing of a kernel. What the kernel does is helps your softwares communicate with the hardware of you device in a faster manner. Kernels help you overclock (help set the CPU speed of your device to a higher frequency than the stock) and even more. This means better performance, battery and so much more.
- Flashing custom ROM:

Yeah, flashing custom ROM takes you to a whole new world of Android experience. Custom ROMs are lighter and even better performing than the stock ROMs. You will be able to get the latest version of Android even if your manufacturer did not roll out update. And even with a custom ROM like Cyanogen, you will be able to know who is calling you (when you don't have the person's info on your device) within micro seconds.
Hope these explains why you should actually root your phone.
