About all types of mobiles like Samsung,Lg,Motorola,Sony, Walton,Symphony and much more can be root with this method.

Before starting we should know what root actually means and what are the advantages and disadvantages of rooting.

What is Root?

Android rooting, also known as “root your android device”, is the process of allowing users of Android smartphones, tablets, and other devices to gain root access to your device.
It means users can access with superuser permissions to their android devices. Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices.

So, after to root an Android device, users have the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can let many users the complete removal and replacement of the device’s operating system version, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system (known as custom ROM). 

 Root your Android ( Step by Step guide)

1. Download the Framaroot APK from Here or here.

3. Head to Menu>>Settings>>Security on your device and enable the Unknown sources option.
4. Open the File Manager app on your device and install the app you copied earlier to your device.

5. Once the app’s been installed, launch it from your App Drawer.
6. Select Install SuperSU from the first dropdown menu.
7.You will now see few options available (exploits) on the screen just click on the first one.
If you get a message that says “Failed … Try another exploit if available” then repeat choosing another exploit.
8.If you get a message that says Success … Superuser and su binary installed, You have to reboot your device.

You have successfully rooted your phone, now download Rootchecker from Playstore to confirm it.


Advantages of Rooting

First and foremost, rooting allows the customizations since like it allows the installation of Custom ROMs in the phone. Allows you to convert file systems from the laggy RFS to the speedy EXT4, Allows you to remove the system apps which come by default with the phone, Allows you to apply lots of other customizations

Disadvantages of Rooting

The only disadvantage of rooting is that it voids the warranty but it can be reclaimed if you up.

Everything about Android

What is Android?


Android is a mobile operating system (OS) based on the Linux kernel and currently developed by Google. With a user interfacebased on direct manipulation, Android is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, with specialized user interfaces for televisions (Android TV), cars (Android Auto), and wrist watches (Android Wear). The OS uses touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects, and a virtual keyboard. Despite being primarily designed for touchscreen input, it also has been used in game consoles, digital cameras, regular PCs and other electronics. (Wikipedia.com)

 Today I will discussed different terms related to Android. 

 Root
There are some files and systems that one cannot access because they are blocked by the manufacturer for our betterment. It's only for that if these files are changed this can affect whole system to work.So, only experienced can change these files or systems. But sometimes to we need the root access to enjoy certain facilities which are not possible without rooting. So, by gaining root access you can change,edit even delete the files.The root access gives you total control over the systems.

Bootloaders

Every Android phone has a bootloader that instructs the operating system kernel to boot normally. But you need to understand one thing here that as Android OS is an open source OS and is available on a variety of different hardware, every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader specific for the hardware present in it’s environment. We also saw couple of weeks back that Motorola packaged an “eFuse” command in their Android phones, which could brick (permanently turn off) your device in case you tried to flash a Custom ROM.
ROMs
You may have heard of people loading custom  ROMs on their Android devices. A “ROM” is the operating system software that runs your Droid. It is stored in the “Read Only Memory” portion of the hardware on the Android smartphones and/or tablet. All Android devices come with a stock ROM installed by the manufacturer. But, if you root your device, you gain the ability to install custom ROMs that will completely change the look and feel of the software. This is one of the major reasons that people choose to root their Droids.

 Kernel 
 Unlike a ROM the Kernel does not alter the look and feel of your phone, but is a “deeper” line of code that rests beneath the surface, so to speak. It tells the software how to interact with the hardware. A custom kernel is a kernel that developers have added code to, in order to create all sorts of new options and abilities. They might add code to make the phone’s processor run at a higher speed, or make the battery draw less power when the phone is in “idle” mode. Kernels are like the soul of the software. They can be flashed in the custom recovery and the files are usually called Tar Images or Zimages.

 Nandroid Backup

 Nandroid, sometimes written as NANDroid, is a portmanteau for NAND flash memory, the type of permanent storage memory that your device uses, and Android. A Nandroid backup is a de-facto (by the hacking community) standard directory structure for backing up a perfect mirror image of your Android device. By doing this backup, you can save literally everything, from your own personal data to the system files.Nandroid backup is very much important before rooting because it can save your set from being totally unusable if it bricks during installing custom ROMs
Brick
A brick is when your phone won’t recover from a bad rooting/flashing process. Your device becomes unresponsive and unable to be restored…essentially making it a “brick” or a very expensive paperweight. Bricking your phone usually happens when you do not follow instructions carefully or if a device does not allow for root. Bricking your phone is a real possibility and risk in rooting and modding your phone, but it is very rare to occur, and most unlikely to occur if you simply follow the instructions.
Superuser (SU)
Superuser means getting the power of root access. That means your are now eligible for change,modify,even delete the files which were blocked by manufacturer.

Custom ROMs and Advantages of using

0 comments
If you are using an Android device,you must have heard about Custom rom. Though many of us don't know what it actually means. Today I will clear the term for you. 
When we buy any android device it comes with stock rom.
A stock ROM is the version of the phone's operating system that comes with your phone when you buy it.
A custom ROM is basically a different operating system for your android device. Unlike the pre-installed firmware that is provided by the manufacturer, such as Samsung Touchwiz or HTC Sense, custom ROMs provide an almost pure Android experience much like that you’d find on Google’s Nexus devices. Custom ROMS are also enriched with many useful extra features and customization options that affect the behavior of the system. Thus, the user gets more control over their device than it would ever be possible with the standard software from the manufacturer. In addition, custom ROMs are also a good way to install a more recent version of Android on your device.

The advantages of Custom ROMS 

Normally we have to wait for new android distribution or new features from the manufacturer of our devices but custom ROM developers make it published for you within a very short time. So, with custom ROM you can talk the taste of newly arrived android version.

After rooting your phone you can install any custom ROM build for your device and you can also return to your stock ROM which was provided by your manufacturer. 

Why you use Custom ROMs

Besides a lot of advantages of custom ROM, it is faster than Stock Rom given by carrier. Why you will use Custom ROMs is described below: 

1. Free from useless apps: Developers ripped out useless apps that comes with Stock ROM.
2. Optimized Kernel: For example, an undervolted kernel can provide a much better battery life than the stock one. 
3. Upgrade to latest android is possible: You can take the taste of latest android version which has not released for your device yet.
4. Ability to move installed apps to SD card: About all today's Custom ROMs have the function to move installed apps to SD card which is not possible in case of stock ROM. 


Facts you should know before installing Custom ROMs:

Although  Custom ROMs have a lot of advantages but a tiny mistake can make your device brick. So, before proceeding you should know some facts which can save your device from being bricked.

  • Always try to find such a Custom ROM which is tested and has positive feedback. You can take opinion from those who have used the ROM. 
  • Take a complete backup of your device so that you can return to your previous stage if something unexpected is occurred during installation of Custom ROM. For backing up your device you can see our article about " How to back up and restore android devices"  
  • You should remember that Custom ROMs void warranty. So, to get your warranty back you must be return to stock ROM. 

Some popular Custom ROMs

1. CyanogenMod

CyanogenMod is the most stable and popular Android custom ROM. It comes with 12+ awesome themes, lots of visual styles and additional features. CyanogenMod is so much popular custom ROM that it is trying to turn into more regular business in competition to Android stock ROM. The ROM comes with one-click installer setup, so you don’t need to do much technical stuff. Most of the things are similar to stock ROM however it has better camera app and file manager.
If you want to customize your Android the exact way you want, then CyanogenMod is best for you.

2. Panaroid Android

Do you love Flat UI, the new trend in graphic designing? If yes, then Panaroid Android is a custom ROM that will provide this cool Flat UI interface to your Android.  It comes with similar tweaks as like CyanogenMod custom ROM but with a bonus feature of hybrid mode which allows you to scale on-screen elements to make them larger or smaller. For example, you can resize notification bar to not take on all of your phone’s screen while showing notifications.
Panaroid Android custom ROM allows you to change color schemes in your settings menu to match your phone’s outfit. Moreover, it also supports multi-window feature (which is in beta, however) which put it among top 3 best Android custom ROMs.

3. AOKP custom ROM

AOKP stands for Android Open Kang Project which is an oh-so-clever name on Android Open Source Project. This custom ROM aims to be as simple as possible . While all ROM settings are hidden in “ROM Control” inside Settings menu, the rest of the operating system stays pretty faithful to stock Android.
They claims that when you enters inside the operating system, AOKP provides as many options as CyanogenMod custom ROM. The centralized approach is certainly smart to easily enjoy AOKP custom ROM new options.

How to install CWM or Clockworkmod in your Android in easy way

1 comment


We have already know about  How to root any android device in the easiest way (without computer) .  Today we will see how to install Clockworkmod known as CWM in the easiest way. That’s why today I will show you how to install a custom recovery image – CWM recovery – on your Android powered handsets (the step by step guide will work for both tablets and smartphones). So, if you are looking forward in tweaking your phone, do read and apply the following lines.
First of all, you should ask yourselves: do I really need to install a custom recovery image on my Android device? In order to answer to that question, first read the things mentioned during the following list:
  • A custom recovery image can be installed only on a rooted handset. Therefore, before applying this tutorial, you need to learn How to root any android device in the easiest way (without computer)
  • The warranty of your handset will be voided – because you need to unchain the OS of your phone (as you know the root operation isn’t official and that’s happening when you are applying unofficial procedures).
  • Your device is already featuring a recovery image; the stock recovery that comes pre installed on all the Android devices isn’t useful though especially if you are looking into tweaking your handset.
  • The custom recovery image can be used when trying to flash .zip files from the SD card (such as custom ROMs), when trying to perform maintenance, optimization, customization, backup, restoration, hard reset and a lot more operations that usually aren’t available.
So, you should learn how to install a custom recovery only if you agree with the up mentioned aspects. Furthermore, now you should be asking yourselves, why CWM recovery? Well, here the answer is simple: CWM recovery, or ClockworkMod Recovery, is one of the most popular custom recovery available for the Android system. The tool is being available on Google Play (the official variant of the app only) and the same is suitable with almost all the Android powered devices available on the market. Furthermore, CWM recovery comes with great features and capabilities and will smoothly run on your handset.
Therefore, if you had decided to install CWM recovery on your smartphone / tablet, then begin the flashing operation with the preparation tasks. In this way you will be able to avoid the unpleasant situations and also your phone will be prepared for the installation procedure.
  • First, you need to know that not all the devices are being supported by the official CWM recovery tool. So, before installing the same, make sure to check if your device is included on the official CWM recovery support list.
  • Then, also before starting the flashing operation, backup the data, personal info, saves and accounts from your handset – the data might get corrupted and you are risking in losing all of your personal info.
  • Remember to root your phone first.
  • If you are applying the unnoficial CWM recovery, then you will have to use a computer, your device and its USB cable – you will have to download a suitable version of CWM recovery that can be applied on your phone / tablet.
  • Don’t complete things by yourselves without consulting my directions as you can end up in bricking your device.
