Benefits Of Rooting Your Android Device

Benefits Of Rooting Your Android Device


Rooting Your Android Device
Google’s Android is open, customizable and a highly versatile operating system compared to other mobile OSes. And rooting it allows users complete control on their devices. However, you may wonder as to what rooting your Android device involves and what are the benefits in doing so. First, it is essential to understand what rooting is all about.

For the uninitiated, rooting gives users root permission and access to their devices. Rooting also gives the users the ability to tweak the settings on their phones, flash custom ROMs on the phone for adding additional features, as well as modify the software on the device. However, rooting is not everyone’s cup of tea, but it can be done successfully provided the users follow the rooting instructions for their device carefully.

A thing to note is that with different kinds of Android phones available, the same rooting technique may not work for all. So before rooting, users need to ascertain whether or not a particular rooting method will actually work for their devices. Users should also know that doing so will void the manufacturer’s warranty on your device and there is a small chance that improper rooting can also damage the phone permanently. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of benefits to rooting your phone and it is a risk definitely worth taking.

Flash a custom ROM:

This is one of the best benefits of rooting an Android device. In simple terms, a custom ROM is a modified version of Android that users can install if they are not happy with the Android version that their device comes with. Adding a custom ROM adds more unique and convenient features to the phone that are not usually seen on their devices. Samsung devices are usually the most rooted of all, as users want to use stock Android ROMs that are much more agile than Samsung’s TouchWiz skin.

Flash a custom kernel:

A kernel allows apps on the phone to communicate directly with the hardware of the phone. A custom kernel helps improve the performance of the phone, enhance battery life, speed up battery charging, and also add advanced features such as Wi-Fi tethering on certain phones that do not come with this option.

Tweak under the hood settings: Users can tweak every little feature of their phone including customizing the keyboard layout, enhancing multitasking functionality, increasing the scrolling speed as well as adding interesting themes to the phone. Basically, rooting allows users to reach into the darkest corners of their phones and make the most of the changes that are possible.

Remove bloatware:

This is one of the best reasons for rooting. Often the phones are preloaded with software and apps that one does not use. These programs not only occupy the onboard memory, but can also drain the battery. Before uninstalling any apps, users should confirm that those apps are not vital to efficient functioning of their phones.

Backup:

Having a backup of crucial data and settings is highly recommended. Should a user want to migrate to a new Android handset or wishes to restore the deleted data to the current handset for any reason, then a backup must be readily available. This is also helpful even if the user is not rooting his/her device.

Apart from these benefits, rooting also helps to block annoying ads that appear in apps, boost the speed and battery life of the phone, automate everything as well as unlock certain hidden features in the device and install certain apps that are otherwise considered as incompatible.

Cara Menambahkan Baris pada About Device Tentang Perangkat pada Android

Cara Menambahkan Baris pada About Device Tentang Perangkat pada Android


Kali ini andryemos akan berbagi tips dan trik android lagi lho. Trik kali ini adalah menambahkan baris atau menambahkan info pada about phone/about device atau bisa di bilang tentang perangkat. Disini kita bisa menambahkan informasi tentang Pin BB kita, nama pemilik handphone, atau informasi yang lain. Langsung hajar aja yah bro.. ga usah banyak basa basi ane. hehehe. . . 

Sebelum eksekusi, lihat dulu screenshot berikut ini


Syarat :
- Bisa melakukan Decompile dan Recompile .apk
- Android sudah di ROOT
- Android masih berada dalam Stock ROM ( untuk custom rom, mungkin cara ini bisa di gunakan, tapi terkadang harus mengganti sintax nya)
- ODEX atau DEODEX tetep bisa melakukan cara ini.

Lets n go brooo ke stepnya. . .

1. Ambil file SecSettings.apk (atau Settings.apk) pada /system/app.
2. Lakukan Decompile .apk tersebut.
3. Setelah proses decompile selesai, masuk ke folder SecSettings/res/xml/ dan cari file "device_info_settings". lalu buka file tersebut.
4. Copy kan source code dibawah ini pada file tersebut. bisa di copy di bawah source code : firmware version.

<PreferenceScreen android_key="status_info" android_title="@string/user_status" android_summary="@string/user_status_summary"/>

kalau mau menambahkan baris lagi, tinggal copy source code di atas dan ditambahkan di bawah source code yang dicopy tersebut. contohnya :

<PreferenceScreen android_key="status_info" android_title="@string/user_status1" android_summary="@string/user_status1_summary/>

catatan : untuk menambahkan beberapa baris, bedakan user_status dan user_status_summary.

5.  Jangan lupa di save bila sudah selesai. kemudian masuk ke SecSettings/res/values/ dan cari file dengan nama strings.

6. copy source code di bawah ini pada baris terserah agan sebelum </resources>

    <string name="user_status">Pin BB</string>
    <string name="user_status_summary">754D336C</string>

bila ada 2 baris, tambahkan source dibawahnya

    <string name="user_status1">Device Owner</string>
    <string name="user_status1_summary">Andry Putro Laksono</string>

keterangan : font warna merah bisa di ganti sesuai selera.

7. jangan lupa save kalau udah selesai.
8. lakukan recompile SecSetting nya.
9. Kemudian push ke System/app. untuk permissionnya rw-r--r--
10. hal yang terakhir adalah restart HH agan.
