The Importance of Android Root Protection

So why is root android not presented in default menu or we can not access and change the android system without going through the root process? This is because some applications are set and arranged in such a way in an android system and for the benefit of the manufacturer or service provider, the app can not be deleted for example if the android phone has bundling with the telecommunication company and they put the application therein for promotional purposes.

In addition users are also unable to change something or applications in android without root because to prevent damage or errors on the system, especially on users or users who still lay. It could be if given full access to all devices or systems in android, precisely the system will be chaotic and android device can not be used again.

2. Remove the application that is not working
Often applications in android are not entirely used and function efficiently so it only fills the memory and this will be very annoying especially on android phones that have little internal memory capacity. By rooting android then we can remove the application and make the android phone performance faster and better.

3. Restore deleted files

This problem is sometimes very annoying, but it turns out with root android and with the help of certain applications, we can get back the deleted files. This will be very helpful if one day we need a file that is not stored in the android device that we have.

4. Change the android look
In addition to updating and changing the system inside, root android can allow users to beautify the android look either by changing the theme or icon or symbol menu used. In essence all things in android can be changed at will we and of course if we have to root android the right way.

Although it has many advantages and functions, android root also has flaws that should also be known by any mobile phone users or other android devices. If you pick android or change the system, the warranty period from the manufacturer will be lost. In other words if there is damage to the android device, the manufacturer issuing the device will not provide warranty and will not be liable for such damages.
