Best Apps to Root Android Device With or Without PC

Android is a powerful ecosystem controlling more than 90 per cent of the smartphone industry. The success of Android can be credited to its being an open source operating system. These allow the users and developers to tweak around and test some features on the Android phone itself. Rooting is one such feature which lets the users gain full access to the Android mobile.

There was a time when performing root was a complicated business but today the process has smoothened a lot. There are a number of Apps which help in injecting the binary onto the Android phone easily and without any codes and scripts. With a rooted device, you get full access to the mobiles subsystems giving you the power to perform operations like blocking Ads, hibernating Apps, removing bloatware, accessing system files etc.

What is Rooting?

Rooting is the process of allowing users on devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control over various Android’s subsystems which cannot be gained with a stock OS system.

Root is just a user with elevated permissions, who can do anything to any file or folder in the system. A rooted phone can be used to modify the system files, install any other party firmware, block Ads or access some Apps which cannot run without the root permissions.
