What is Rooting in Android:


       Rooting is the process of allowing users of smart phones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android's subsystems

      Android uses the Linux kernal. Rooting an android device give similar access to administrative permissions as on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system.

Benefits of Rooting:


      Rooting gives the ability (or permission) to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user.

      Rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system

Risk of Rooting:


      Voiding your warranty - Some manufacturers or carriers will use rooting as an excuse to void your warranty.

      Bricking Your Phone - Whenever you tamper too much, you run at least a small risk of bricking your device. 

      Security Risk - Rooting may introduce some security risks. Depending on what services or apps you use on your device, rooting could create a security vulnerability.

Best Android application for Rooted Mobile:


       Titanium Backup - Titanium Backup is a long time mainstay at the top of many root lists and this one is no different. With this application you can uninstall bloatware (a must have for many people), freeze apps ,and backup your applications and application data.

       Greenify - Greenify quickly climbed the list as one of those essential root apps a long time ago. The app checks out your running apps and shows you which ones are running, which ones run, how frequently, and how many times each one wakes up your device.

       Tasker - Eighth on our list is a very useful root app called Tasker. This powerful application can make your phone do pretty much anything whenever you need it to.

      Root Explorer - Root Explorer uses root access to let you browse files on your entire device. For root users, this is an essential task. There are a plethora of activities that require you rummaging through the system parts of your device and Root Explorer helps you do it without being encumbered.
