Ever
rooted your smartphone and played with your
device beyond the boundaries? Well, if you haven’t and if you do not
know what does the root access actually means, then let us tell you.
Rooting your
Android device gives you the administrative rights over your device.
Rooting process involves a custom
method consisting of
zip files, that may be flashed using your device’s
recovery or a flashtool software and gain the root access. Once rooted, you can
install
custom operating systems (ROMS), you can flash mods on your device, you
can increase the internal storage of your device by merging the microSD
card if your device has a card slot. Not only this, the rooted device
can run all of those applications which do not normally run on an
Android device and require more permissions then a normal app.
Overclocking your phone’s CPU and GPU is another advantage of root
access. You can remove bloatware, You can explore the internal system
using different
file managers,
you can always take screenshots on your device but ever wondered if you
can record the video as well? the root access will allow you to do so.
Backing up apps, apps with data and a lot more things are there which
can be done after gaining the root rights. Its a laundry list of
enhancements that can be done, so once you’re rooted you may explore and
learn more and more.
Many of the Android users, when once rooted, try to find out the best
applications to gain the advantages of root. Or they look out how they
can enhance their device using the root access. I’ve compiled up 10 best
applications, that are a must have for a rooted Android phone. Scroll
