Ten Reason Why You Must Root Our Android Phone - Part II by Jeffbanks56(m): 4:20am On Aug 23, 2013
We all have been hearing about rooting our Android Device but I can bet most of us do not know why we should root our Android Device. Below is a complete number of 10, telling us why it is important to root our Android Device.

Ten Reason Why We Must Root our Android Device
1. Performance: Android is an absolutely awesome open source mobile OS for smartphones. The only problem is that with manufacturer’s own version of UI layered upon with bloatware, the performance of the phone could become sluggish, and thus ruining your phone usability. With every update of Android, the performance of the hardware just gets better and better. Rooting your phone and installing your own custom ROMs available online gives a new lease of life even to the first generation of Android Phones. And we are talking stuff like – New windows opening up faster, App menus loading faster and UIs being more responsive.

2. Hardware/Software Interaction: Stock Android installations often tend to have bottlenecks when it comes to performance. With a rooted Android OS, this is removed and hence the performance is tweaked. Overclocking the processor is much easier, and even certain functionalities can be enabled which are not present in the default install – e.g. CPU and GPU overclock to boost performance, 3d acceleration and gaming.

3. Freedom: Take for example my Android phone – Samsung Galaxy S duos. It came with Android 4.0.4 (or the ics), and I hate to wait for bloody ages to get the carriers upgrade it to jellybean. It will eventually be done, but I will have to wait for ages for the update. If I have my phone rooted, I could easily upgrade my phone with the readily available custom ROM.

4. Apps2SD: One of the most important features that rooted phones support is that you can install Apps to the SD Card, instead of clogging up the phone memory. Although, the performance of apps which are installed on the SD card is a bit inferior to the ones on phone. This comes in very handy when you need to backup Apps, since most of the 1st and 2nd generation Android phones don’t come with a lot of internal memory.

5. Unavailable features:
With the root, features such as face
unlock, google now and many more
will surface through a custom rom
update. also with the features of
installing a custom recovery such as
clockworkmod recovery to be able to
backup your stock ROM for crashing
days.
6
Multi-touch:
This is yet another major feature
which is enabled by rooting your
phone. ‘Nuff said. mostly for first
generation android devices
7
WiFi and Bluetooth tethering:
With this functionality enabled, you
can share your cellular data
connectivity to be used by your PC/
Laptop. There are several apps
available which can assist you to
establish a tethering connection, but
these only work with rooted phones
of the first generation android that
lacks this feature.
8
Better keyboard:
Not that we don’t love what Samsung,
or Moto or HTC have to offer – or any
of the other paid apps offering
keyboard layouts , but custom ROMS
have their awesome input methods
that make me go hmmm!and being
able to delete stock keyboard and
replace with any desired one
9
Apps from other builds:
The whole wide world of the Android
market is your oyster. But also, you
can get apps from Custom ROMs
which are integrated from other
builds – such as Switchers that can
toggle WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth,
GPS , Microsoft Exchange to support
work mail, etc.etc. The list is endless.
[Well, not endless really, but you
know what I mean).
10
Because you can:
The most ultimate reason. Because you are the BOSS. It’s your phone which you paid your hard earned money for. And you are not letting the shitty default installation ruin the experience for you
