Android operating system came into our lives and became popular. Along with this came many technical terms. We tried to explain in a language that everyone can understand what these terms mean, especially for people who like to tamper with their phone. You have to use them together. By rooting your Android, you can have all the administrative privileges of your phone, you can edit various settings as you wish and you can expand the usage area considerably. And you can even benefit from applications developed for rooted devices.
