Whenever I talk a lot about the root permissions, we discussed how to root devices, the best applications for this and more theory, and even a basic guide to root , but I have never said why you should have access to the root of your phone ? It is likely that many will ye turn back because I'm afraid or they are afraid then refrain warranty. Well today I bring you 10 reasons to be root to offset these fears.

Moreover, although there are applications that work without root permissions, but they offer many more features when they do have them. In this group we quote antivirus systems lock / remote location, and even the famous Cleanmaster, which can remove the bloatware hit. Finally, a phone rooteado use a lot of applications and games that were hidden from us and we were shown as 'incompatible', but we must always be prepared for possible errors.
![what are the benifits of rooting a android phone]()
1. A world of new applications
Android offers a wide range of applications for all occasions and purposes, but when we do something a little "more advanced" always require root permissions. This means to be stewards of our own device, and therefore be able to interact more deeply into the system. With root access you can use programs uninstall bloatware (preinstalled apps) plus firewall, management systems for multi-touch gestures to control and much more.Moreover, although there are applications that work without root permissions, but they offer many more features when they do have them.

2.Personalization like never before
Android devices are famous for their ability to change laucher, icon packs, wallpapers, ringtones, keyboard sounds and more. However, this customization is limited to superficial aesthetic change. With root permissions can modify the system files to personal taste, including system sounds and boot animation. To take full advantage of this feature you must be root.
3.Performance beyond
There are many applications that can free your RAM and thereby improve the speed of your phone. In fact we have even a forum thread in which we propose several solutions, many with root, to improve the storage of your smartphone. With normal methods is very difficult, if not impossible, to overcome the limitations imposed by the hardware. Again, the root permissions come to the rescue and they can exceed the speed of the CPU by overclocking.
4.No more battery problems
Smartphones are evolving, but the Achilles heel of most is the battery. Although mobile, even more performance guarantee 24 hours of use (most with energy saving features), many struggle to reach the end of the evening without having to recharge the phone. What is the solution, buy the LG G3, new king in batteries? You probably do not want to pay the big bucks, or you are simply loyal to your smartphone. The solution: get root permissions. Thanks to them you can access different functions, choosing, for example, have more control of the CPU setting limits energy control both above and below.
5.Automate all
Many know the Tasker application , a tool that allows you to automate virtually every aspect of our smartphone. For those who do not know, based on a moment or action (such as connecting headphones, our location, a specific time ...) can give certain orders or initiate certain automatic functions (open apps, send messages, play songs, ...). All this is managed Tasker, although also works without root permissions, when we have access to the root of the phone can enjoy the complete list of interactions. Here activation Internet, GPS, on-screen, speed, and adds many more possibilities.
6. Flash a Custom ROM
Obviously this is the reason that most Android users decide to get root permissions. In addition to customizing radically a smartphone, the leading developers of ROMs have amply demonstrated that they improve the performance, flexibility and functionality of our smartphone. It also allows us to add options to our phone did not come with the model, since voice controls, gestures, or even updates to Android and not officially arrive.
7. Block advertising in any application
Sure programmers defend to the hilt advertising applications, and while not bothering me seems reasonable, especially if the app is free. Something they have to live their creators. But advertising is not always noninvasive infuriates me in that case. In addition to data-intensive, often triggers unwanted subscriptions. It is in these cases where we can draw on such applications AdBlock Plus , which allows block annoying ads, or even any kind of advertising, but requires, of course, root.
8. Perform full backups
Every Android device has the ability to make a backup of applications and data within certain settings or using Kies software management type. Even if you decide to use these features and combine them with the services offered in the cloud, nothing can compete with everything that come with root permissions. Starting with the full backup to do with the Titanium application that allows full backups of the entire system, and the transfer of this data to a SD or to your computer, plus the ability to automate the process.
9. Obtain functions of other devices
One of the best possibilities of Android is the incredible variety of phones and tablets, and therefore, the number of manufacturers inmmensa and special functions. The downside is that these are usually specific to a particular model. The root permissions give us the possibility, indeed, to have unique features of a smartphone or a specified range in our terminal.
10. Become the absolute ruler of your device
What is most annoying is w henwe can not use something we bought freely and without restrictions, one of the main reasons why an iPhone is not recommended. By their nature, Android is a free system that was created with the idea of creating an ecosystem of independent software and hardware, at least as much as possible, and open to everyone. Obtaining root privileges, in addition to the above benefits and others (I ask you in the comments) makes you the only ruler of your phone, and can do anything you want, customize it as you like and not rely on any manufacturer (either for good or for bad).
Bonus: the reversibility
Best of root access is that any time you can return to the previous state and continue as before. Eliminating the root permissions and return to the original firmware of a device, in most cases restores warranty. All this is done mendiante a kit of special tools, or just 'reflashing' original firmware with Odin.
Now it's your turn ... What other benefits do you see to have root access?
