located on the Android system when the standard state (not root) files
are not accessible. If the analogy Windows computer operating system, Android root function is to give administrator rights to users.
By doing root Android will not necessarily increase performance or capabilities of Android phones. Rooting Android like, Äúmembuka doors, Äù for you to develop this operating system.
Why Android operating system developers do not give root access from the beginning?
It aims to protect the Android operating system as a whole. If
a user inadvertently or intentionally alter or remove one or more file
systems, it can cause the performance of mobile phones or tablet becomes
unstable, and the most severe damage brick or phone does not turn,

Pros And Disadvantages Root Android
Disadvantages:
Can eliminate the phone warranty
Why Android rooting may lose warranty? Root it is like, Äúsegel warranty, Äù. Analogues
such as this, if you buy a factory-built computer (not a computer
assembly), it usually comes with a warranty seal or sticker. This seal will usually be damaged if you open the computer casing.
If
we want to improve computer skills, for example by replacing the
computer's graphics card with a better one, we should open automatically
and will automatically casingkomputer damaging the warranty seal. Whether to dismantle the casing will cause the computer to be corrupted? Of course not.
However, if there is damage whether to scorch the warranty? It
is clear, because the service center to see that the warranty seal has
been broken, and gave the verdict that the computer is damaged due to be
dismantled, but the damage caused by other factors.
Similar to root Android. If
your HP gets damaged, for example, the speaker does not beep, and you
bring to the Service Center with the condition was root, then there is
the possibility of a warranty claim will be denied and said that the
phones were damaged by the root, but they are not.
But
actually you do not have to worry too much, in contrast to the warranty
seal, the root can be reversed or the phone is returned to the initial
conditions. This process is called Unroot. If the unroot done, it will automatically return the warranty will apply.
Note:
If you want to bring to the HP service center, but do unroot, you
should also do factory reset (removes all data and applications are
installed)
Disadvantages:
Security issues
Actually for this one is still being debated. It
is said that by doing Root, then the malware applications such as virus
or Trojan can be easily entered into the file system and perform the
destruction or theft of user data.
However,
even though HP is not the actual root, if the virus does, Äúberniat
evil, Äù, then without any root, virus applications can easily access
the file system.
Advantages:

custom ROM.

overclocking, the processor may, Äúdipaksa, Äù work faster than the
speed of luggage that can improve the overall performance of the phone. However,
it can shorten the life of processor overclock, make the battery more
extravagant and fast heat up and also there is the possibility of
