SHOULD YOU ROOT
YOUR PHONE IN 2021??!!
Every android user has always heard the word "ROOTING". At instance it sounds like some technical magic that ruins your phone entirely, while on the other hand many users claim it to be the best thing you can do to your device. so what should you do?? should you root your phone in 2021?? does it even have any benefits now that we have such intellectual software and hardware??
WELL KEEP READING TO GET ALL YOUR ANSWERS!
--The Big Question!
In very basic terms rooting an android device unlocks the system level access to any app and user on the device. The system or the "root" folder contains crucial files that makes up the android OS's entirely. Kinda like the C drive you have on your pc but secured. Rooting removes this security and gives you full access to your device directly to you! (you have the powah!!)
--Ok Ok But What Are The Benefits??
HERE ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF ROOTING
YOUR PHONE!
You know it, we know it, everyone hates bloatware (unless you don't...and if that's the case...please go to a therapist). The stinky apps primarily made to suck out your data and then use it to show ads right on your face whenever you install an app, delete an app or you know BASICALLY USE YOU PHONE! (I'm talking to you MiUI).
Well guess what! you can get rid of it!
As rooting allows you to get system level access you can delete or add whatever feature you wish you had only in your dreams.
There are many apps which you can just outright disable but the app still remains on your phone, still the ROM sometimes won't even let you disable many apps itself. The only solution remains is rooting. Rooting lets you keep whatever you want and eliminates the rest.
--Dress To Impress!
We all love customizations and with every new version of android the doors to news levels of visual customization are opened to everyone. Many people like me like to use launchers and icon packs to customize the look and feel of out devices.
Well guess what? Rooting allows you to customize literally every aspect of your device. Be it installing a custom font, icon packs that work systemwide or boot animations that make your friends wonder "how did he do that?", Rooting allows you to do all that.
Root also gives you access to the /system/fonts folder which allows users to install and replace custom fonts. You can also flash zip files from Recovery to install themes too. But if all that folder browsing isn’t for you, there are also some great root-only theme applications to choose from.
--OVERCLOCKING AND UNDERCLOCKING.
We all have heard the term overclocking. But Did you know you can overclock your phone!? With Root access you can overclock you phone to get more performance out of it. Even mid-end smartphones are pretty fast now, so there isn’t much of a need for that anymore, but some of you may still want to speed things up.
Even if overclocking is no longer as popular, you will find that altering processor speeds is definitely convenient. Got a super powerful phone and want to save battery? Under-clocking is also an option. Sometimes we don’t need all the power our specs have to offer, and we could really use saving resources. That makes this one of the most unsung benefits of rooting.
--SAVE POWER LIKE A BOSS!
Who Never likes their battery to last just one more hour. Well to no one's surprise there are a ton of apps running in the android background which you can't shut down, who obviously drain you battery more and more even when you don't use it at all.
Having a rooted phone allows users to have full control of the apps that drain your battery. One of such apps is Greenify, which can discover which apps on your phone are draining your battery charge while not in use. The app puts them into a state of full hibernation mode, so your phone battery can last much longer than normal.
--OTHER FEATURE RICH APPS!
Apps like TITANIUM BACKUP which unlike other backup apps, lets you backup literally the whole of you system including user files and settings, app files and settings and all of the device data.
There are a lot of other great apps that only work on rooted devices and can take your Android experience to the next level.
END NOTE
