Ways of Rooting

Hi Guys,

We have already discussed the disadvantages of Rooting in our earlier post.

Today we will discuss how to overcome those disadvantages.

Root access enables a user to install a powerful and versatile app which itself acts as a gateway to easy, non-destructive device change, namely Xposed Framework.

Fortunately, there are also various privacy protector application such as SuperSU that only grants root access to those applications which the user chooses. There are also various root-enabled utilities which are available to help you restore for when something goes wrong, i.e. un-bricking (which we will discuss in brief in another post).

For beginners, one can also use a number of root-enabled application backup tools to back up one’s applications and his/her other information in his/her storage, PC, and even online cloud. Complementing a custom recovery, (which helps in making backup and flashing things, which I’ll explain in another article), rooted users are able to do a full, system-wide NAndroid Backup that essentially replicates your current smart phone or tablet at any particular time and saves it as a backup.
