Easy Root Tool for LG Devices – One-Click Root Script
Android operating system is at the epicentre of the growing smartphone trend and it is becoming sweeter and sweeter with every new version. Unlike proprietary mobile OS like the Windows and iOS, Android offers a great flexibility in tweaking the OS to make it better and efficient. The best part is that Android is open source and anyone with passion towards Android can get their hands dirty.
Rooting is one of the basic but the most important step in the journey of Android development. It gives the ultimate power and control over the device to the user which allows tweaking the inner most layers of the OS.
