What is the root of Android?
operating systems based on Unix / Linux, and Android, the root is the possibility to use the platform as a super administrator. This means that a device “rootado” has full access to the system, being able to perform functions and access applications that are not available when it is “closed”.
When using Android as a super administrator will be possible, for example, delete applications from factory – as apps installed by the operator or the manufacturer of the model – installing alternative ROMs that bring different looks and functions to the system, and use unique applications for devices rootados.
Among the most exciting features for those who have an Android with root are the possibility to backup and tracking system, perform overclocking the processor – which makes the hardware of the device give the maximum of its power – as well installing newer versions of Android that were not officially released.
Why this option is disabled?
Android is a Linux based system, running a Java virtual machine called Dalvik. This machine, responsible for running applications and services in the application layer of the Android does not have full access to the system. Ie: it is obliged to respect the permissions of Android.
By default, to prevent any application to perform functions that affect system performance, the Java virtual machine, as well as all applications are not allowed to run with the administrator account in the system – which happens to be possible with root. This limitation, moreover, is not unique modified versions of the handset makers, since even the version with Android “pure”, coming directly from Google, comes with no root access.

Discover how to root on your Android
This prohibition, by the way, is much needed. If all appliances come with the role of super administrator released, users laity could end up deleting essential system files or compromise the security of your smartphone to download a malicious app without conscience.
worth doing?
If you know exactly what you’re doing, make root the Android is very worthwhile. The freedom to modify some functions and applications allows great improvement in performance on the device, as well as gain exclusive features.
However, it is important to note that without the “safety lock” of Android, your phone is much more vulnerable to malware attacks and viruses, plus there is the chance of the user to delete or modify some essential file by accident and end up making your smartphone unusable forever.
is still important to remember that virtually all manufacturers of smartphones and tablets do not cover the warranty if you “lock” your device with a root poorly done, or if you run any application that damaged your device. Thus, performing the root of Android is at your own risk of the owner of the device.
Thus, the root is suitable only for experienced users, developers and technology enthusiasts. Moreover, even those who can perform the procedure satisfactorily must always have a backup complete all data from your phone, in case a problem occurs on your smartphone during the process.
