WHY DO WE NEED TO ROOT OUR DEVICES???
We love Android, but rooting your phone
can give you the opportunity to do so much more than your phone can do out of
the box.
Rooting, for those of you that don’t know, means giving yourself root permissions on your phone. It’s similar running programs as 'administrators' in Windows, or running a command with 'sudo' in linux.With a rooted phone, you can run apps that require access to certain system settings, as well as flash custom ROMs to your phone, which add all sorts of extra features.
