Root's pros & cons

The advantages of rooting Android #1 – Rooting Android – Installation of custom ROMs You can install a custom ROM or Kernel after you root you device, which essentially means you get a new device software-wise.

Android Rooting

What is Root Root, at least the way we're talking about it here, is the superuser. Your Android phone uses  Linux permissions  and file-system ownership. You are a user when you sign in, and you are allowed to do certain things based on your user permissions. Apps you install are also given a type of user ID, and they all have permissions to do certain things — you see those when you install them on older versions of Android , or you are prompted to allow them on  Marshmallow  or higher — in certain folders with certain files. Root is also a user. The difference is the root user (superuser) has permissions to do anything to any file any place in the system. This includes things we want to do, like uninstall application forced on us by the people who built them or the people who sells them to us as well as things we don't want to do that can put your Android in an unusable state. When you're doing things with superuser permissions, you have the power to do anythin...

This is not about robots,    we're talking about  OS ;) Android  is a popular, Linux-based mobile phone operating system developed by Google. The Android  operating system  (OS) powers phones, watches, and even car stereos. Let's take a closer look and learn what Android really is. Android Open-Source Project  Android is a widely-adopted  open-source project .  Google actively develops the Android platform but gives a portion of it for free to hardware manufacturers and phone carriers who want to use Android on their devices. Google only charges manufacturers if they also install the Google apps portion of the OS. Many (but not all) major devices that use Android also opt for the Google apps portion of the service. One notable exception is Amazon. Although  Kindle Fire tablets use Android, they do not use the Google portions, and Amazon maintains a separate Android app store. Beyond the Phone: And...

What is an Operating System

An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing, and other resources. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware, although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware and frequently makes system calls to an OS function or is interrupted by it. Operating systems are found on many devices that contain a computer – from cellular phones and video game consoles to web servers and supercomputers.       Thanks for  Wikipedia Org
