Rooting


Use a tool, or use a ROM that provides root access.


The advantage of rooting:

  • no app or youtube adverts
  • automatic f-droid updates
  • removing(/adding) system apps
  • optimisations and better packages from ROMs (though sometimes no ROM covers all the stock features!)
  • no google play services
