What is ROOT?
In short:
Root / Rooting = to lift the default protection of the Android OS and gives you access to all system files that are normally hidden from you.
This enables extra functionality but also requires knowledge about the android system to know what is safe to do and what not.
- Simple root use: changing theme elements / new battery icons / individually controlling the LEDs
- Advanced root use: overclocking your CPU / adjusting the OS / making a custom ROM
