What is ROOTING in Android.

What is ROOTING in Android.

When carriers andmanufacturers sell you your device, it is almost certain that the device would come with certain software restrictions in
place which is also come with the default firmware.There are a variety of
different reasons why they might
do that –
1. some claim that this is
done to protect the user,
2. preserve the device’s warranty
(this policy will vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer),
3. prevent users from getting rid of
carrier bloatware apps or
4. simply because the manufacturer
would prefer if your device was
distinguishable from the
competition based purely on its
user interface (i.e. Samsung’s
TouchWiz, HTC Sense UI, etc).

Whatever their reasoning may
be, chances are if you are
looking to customize your device
on a deeper level, you’d be out
of luck and this is where rooting
comes into play.

Rooting is essentially a process
that allows users of
smartphones, tablets or other
devices running on Android to
gain “superuser” access to the
software. This will allow the user
to perform administrative tasks
such as writing to locations
normally restricted by the system
which in turn will allow for
deeper customization. For iOS
users, rooting on Android
devices could be thought of as a
close equivalent to jailbreaking (I-Phone)
your device.
