user to enter the Android system. By doing Root, the user can add, 
subtract or modify files or data that is 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.
What is a Root Android? By doing root Android will not necessarily 
increase performance or capabilities of Android phones. Rooting Android 
as an “open door” 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, 
therefore limiting the Android developers access to the file system.
Advantages And Disadvantages Root Android
 Disadvantages Root Android
Disadvantages Root Android:
Root shortage Android # 1: It can eliminate the phone warranty
Why Android rooting may lose warranty? Root was likened to a 
“warranty seal”. 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 automatically have to 
open the computer case and it will automatically undermine 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 (remove all data and applications are 
installed)
Root shortage Android # 2: 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 is 
“mean-spirited”, then without any root, virus applications can easily 
access the file system.
Android Root advantages:
1. Can the Need Access Application Installs Root
Here are some examples of applications that require root access to the most widely installed:
App2Card and Link2SD: With this application allows users to move all applications to the SD Card.

Internet connection via Wi-Fi network. Note: the system Froyo Android 
2.2 and above, the application is already installed on the phone. ‘
2. Can install custom ROM
What is a custom ROM? Custom ROM is a custom Android operating system
 (alternative) or not made by mobile phone vendors. Custom ROM was 
developed by a community of fans of the Android operating system. Note: 
by doing a root that does not mean you can directly install Custom ROM, 
but most Android phones require root access if you want to install a 
custom ROM.
3. It can make arrangements to maximize the performance of the phone.
One of the settings that can be done is to overclock the processor. 
With overclocking, the processor can be “forced” to 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 causing the system to become unstable.
4. Can Uninstall Default Application Factory
By doing a root, we can do uninstall factory default applications are
 useless and just meet the phone’s memory. However, if you intend to do 
this better be careful, because if either uninstall could cause the 
performance of mobile phones to be imperfect. Should not be done when it
 is not really necessary.
