Reblogged from Around Android:
From time to time while talking about Android apps and tips, you'll hear the word "rooting" or "root". It's virtually everywhere wherever you go for some advanced Android tutorials or stuff. Many new Android users find themselves truly confused about what rooting actually is, how it works, what benefit it has and what disadvantages it comes with. Myself included; when I first bought Android, it wasn't the first time I heard the word "rooting".
Android users aren't always sure whether they should root their device or not. To find out the right answer to this dilemma, a consumer first needs to know what rooting exactly is, what benefit it offers and what disadvantages it comes with. This post over at Around Android will give you the very basic idea of rooting and everything it does and comes with. Don't worry though; the article is written in plain simple way so that anyone with little or no knowledge with advanced computing can understand. Don't forget to leave a comment over there if it made sense to you. If not, leave comment anyway!
