Advantages of rooting

Rooting is a process which allows the user to gain full access to the operating system. That in turn gives them access to restricted features, more settings and elevating the performance levels.

Get rid of the bloatware – The first and the biggest benefit of rooting a smartphone is that the users can remove any of the applications that the manufacturer has pre-installed on the phone and aren’t removable. In short, rooting gives users the ability to remove all the bloatware from the smartphone, thus getting rid of all the apps they were never going to use and creating space for some useful apps that will benefit them. Sometimes when the smartphone is released with low specifications and a lot of bloatware, the device tends to get slow. Rooting allows users to remove those apps and to make their smartphones faster.

Installing non-compatible applications – There are a lot of applications that aren’t compatible with your smartphone due to specification restriction, country restrictions and more. Rooting allows you to bypass these restrictions and install all the apps developed for Android. Additionally, there are a lot of root-only applications available which enhance your user experience and let you have much more power.

Get updates faster – Smartphone manufacturers, before releasing software updates to the public, need to test them first. So the update ROMs are put up on their official websites. These update ROMs can then be downloaded by people who have rooted their smartphones and in turn, give suggestions to the companies to make them better. Therefore the benefit here is that the rooted users tend to get updates first. However, they are also in the test stock which means the software they use can be buggy and may need a lot of work.

Custom ROMs – Many people root their smartphones just to instal custom ROMs on it like Cyanogen Mod ROM and many more. Even one of the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world, Xiaomi started by first releasing custom ROMs of its now famous MIUI. Installing a custom ROM allows users to change how their smartphone UI looks and feels along with getting a more up-to-date software version. Various Custom ROMs are available in the market with different looks and functionalities. Users can select the features and look they want and then simply choose and install that ROM.
