Android and Root access

Smartphones and tablets have entered our lives for good and have such capabilities that many of us do not need to use a computer anymore. One can do anything directly, with one touch.

There is no reason to get into an, what has led to this boom in the smartphone and tablet market, some simple ones are ease of use and speed. I just said speed and on this we will stand and say some tips so that through a few actions you can make your old, but also your new android smartphone breathe.Android Tools

Surely all android smartphone users have heard the term "root". So what is this "root"?

Root access

The term "root", which in English means "root", comes from the Unix environment, which derives from both Linux and Mac, as well as android which we will deal with and means the beginning of the file system. By the term "Root access" we mean that the ordinary user will have administrator access to the file system.

Why Do One Root?

  • More apps. Many applications now require root access for someone to use in 100%.
  • Most of all, clear all garbage pre-installed by the manufacturer.
  • Overclocking.

Why not make Root?

  • The most important thing is that you lose the guarantee.
  • You do it at your own risk, no one guarantees that the process will go right. Although the way we show below is automated and there is no danger, there is no risk.

How does Root work?

There are many ways to "root" a smartphone. The one I suggest is obviously tested, "sure" (and I put it in quotes because no one is going to guarantee 100% operation) and fast. And most importantly, it is done with one click, both the "root" and the "unroot" of the device. So what we said with the warranty is not true! If something happens, the reset again with a click on the primary state.

All you need to do is install on your computer Kingo RootAnd very basic, to check if your device is in list of the company for root access.

Before you start, make sure of the following:

  • The device is on.
  • It is charged at a level of at least 50%.
  • The computer is connected to the internet.
  • And for connecting the smartphone to the computer is the original cable provided by the manufacturer (recommended).

Once you install the on your computer, instructions will appear on what settings you need to make on your smartphone depending on what android version you have to start rooting.

Application for cleaning after Root.

After the process is finished successfully and the program shows you on the computer screen that the root was successful and the installation of the superuser is completed, then we need to install an application from Google Play with which we can delete, permanently or not, anything we don't need on mobile and couldn't before. A good application for this purpose is the App MasterOnce installed, Google Play will ask for root access. Just click "Grant" and you are ready to clear.

Advice: Do not permanently erase any application of the device or manufacturer, but drive them to the App Master bucket, so if you ever need it or make a mistake, restore it. 

Application testing and privacy.

We have all been alarmed in recent years with the outflow of personal data via smartphones, below we will explain a tip (which needs root access) on how to control at any time each application we have installed on our smartphone and what initiatives it is planned to take , banning her, or leaving her! We are the ones who decide and not the application and the smartphone voluntarily!

The application is none other than the one known to all of us by the desktop, Commodo “Mobile” SecurityComodo has made an enviable job for fixed and laptop computers and has not even surprised us on android mobile phones.

The use of Comodo Mobile itself it does not require "root", but the specific function I described above does.

Below is the implementation environment

comodo

What we are interested in is the Privacy Advisor and its functions. When we click on it for the first time, it warns the user that this function requires "root access". As shown in the following image.

 

Comfortable

When pressed to activate, it will green and will shut down all applications installed on both smartphones and system files and will classify them as shown below.

 

comodo

 

The ranking is based on the initiatives that each application takes, eg use of the common geographical location, charges from the connection, etc. Something that can be avoided using this feature is the following, applications such as Viber, say, voluntarily, if they do not find an internet connection, or if the signal is weak, they send the message via sms, as a result of which they charge the user (this is also deactivated via Viber, of course). Ή uses the 3G connection again voluntarily, charging the user if he does not have an activated package.

By clicking on each group, we are given options with what to allow and what not in each application.

Apps for Cache Cleaning on Android.

By cache, we mean the memory space that is currently occupied by data, which can be used immediately. What does this mean; Say we use an application on our mobile, do what we have to do and close it by simply pressing the "back" button repeatedly. The device automatically stores data in memory, in case we want to use it later. The positive is that it will open faster the next and the negative, that we keep the memory locked even if we reuse it several days later. How can we clear the cache to be exploited by applications that we use more often?

A good program for this purpose is it CCleaner for Mobile. (There is CCleaner for desktop).

You do not need root, after installation simply skans and cleaning.

Caution, this particular also scans sms and calls. Choose not to clean these ones.

Another application is Assistant for Androidwhich also serves the same purpose and is worth what it is programmed to do, nor does this application require "root".
