There are still things that no app, even with all the permissions, can do. That’s not to say that there is zero reasons to root a device anymore.

Users and Android developers still don’t see eye to eye on some things, but it is easier to install some third party app these days than risk voiding warranties by rooting. Workaround and hacks still do exist, but many of them no longer require rooting a device. All of those required root access.īut as mentioned, Android today is very different and many of the reasons that gave birth to the rooting community have vanished or, at the very least, been mitigated. The rooting and modding community had to come up with all sorts of hacks in order to implement a much needed feature, fix something that broke, sometimes intentionally, in a new release, or simply fine tune the performance of a device. Functionality was very limited and so was customization. Android a few years back pales in comparison to the Android you have in your pockets today. A platform that embraced all, including power users.Īdmittedly, in the early days of Android, rooting was almost necessary to milk Android for all it’s worth. Unsurprisingly, that didn’t sit well with not a small number of Android users who expected Google to deliver a smartphone platform that didn’t suffer from the chokehold that Apple had on iOS. Google has bent over backwards to hide something that comes naturally to Linux-based systems: root access. But when you have a device that is almost always connected to the Internet and has a higher chance of falling into the wrong hands than your hulking desktop, it becomes a security risk.
For desktop-oriented systems like Linux, Windows, and, yes, even the BSD-based macOS, having an easily accessible super user is no problem. That immediately poses a problem for a smartphone platform.
