Cool Things You Can Do With A Rooted Android Smartphone

Before rooting, the thousands question is, what is special about root, and what does it allow one to do? You can remove system apps you don't need, you can flash third-party ROMs, you can overclock your CPU, and a lot more  stuff that you wouldn't be allowed to do otherwise.

Rooting is fun, but also risky. Performing this ,might brick your smartphone, and your warranty won't cover the damage. Please Root at your own risk!

Install custom ROMs

Custom ROMs can be cool as they might be faster than your smartphone's stock firmware. Installing one, and having a rooted handset is one of them, while having an unlocked bootloader is the other. That is because only root can remove and replace files belonging to the operating system.

Overclock your CPU

Overclocking is the process of forcing a processor to run at a higher clock speed than recommended. That could result in increase in performance, but it might lead to stability issues, the CPU will definitely get hotter when running on overdrive. No wonder that overclocking apps require root access. 

Backup everything

Backing up your data is a lot easier with Titanium Backup, which also happens to be one of the most popular apps for root users on the Play Store. It can keep all your data safe, including installed applications, system apps, and whatever you have stored on your SD card.

Remove advertisements

There is this Android app called AdFree, and as you might expect, its task is to prevent those annoying advertisements from being displayed. It does that by nullifying requests to a set of host names, which practically stops the ad from being accessed and rendered. It works for both the web browser and ad-supported applications. Not only that there are many other apps too.

Get rid of bloatware

Most Android smartphones come pre-loaded with software that the owner will probably never need. These apps are called bloatware. But there are ways to disable, or uninstall the unwanted software after rooting.

Change screen resolution

If for some reason you need to alter the resolution on your Android device, be it to change the size of icons and text, or just to see what will happen. you can use apps to do this. They allows you to reduce or increase the system's DPI, which makes icons, text, widgets, and everything else, bigger or smaller, depending on how you set it.
