All About Root (v. 1.2.6) Разработано joeykrim |
** ROOT ACCESS IS NOT REQUIRED **
** PLEASE EMAIL ME FEEDBACK REGARDING THE APPLICATION CONTENT!! I WANT TO IMPROVE THIS APPLICATION **
Ever wonder: What is Root? Why do people want Root? How does Root work? How would I obtain Root? How to verify Root?
Accurate and correct information about root access can be difficult to obtain.
This application answers these simple questions in a clear and concise manner. Definitions are provided, sources are cited and links are given.
The goal is to help all users understand more about root. This application is at an early stage of accomplishing this goal. After much research and experience helping many many users understand what root is, why people want to root, how root works and some of the common methods taken for obtaining root access, I have put everything together into one simple application.
Having received hundreds of the same questions via email from Android users across the globe regarding my Root Check application and specifically about root, I decided it would be most beneficial for all users to have a simple, easy and clear educational tool explaining All About Root. I plan to continue to refine and add information as I receive feedback.
A "technical" section has been added to cover some of the more detailed and technical aspects of root including ownership and permissions, along with setuid and setgid attributes.
Please let me know via email, IRC or posts on the common forums, whether the information is helpful, unhelpful, missing details, contains too many details, etc. I appreciate all feedback. Thank you for your support and reading all of my market description!!!

[2013-01-08] A Google User: All about Root Good optical Tool. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Interesting info Download, install, read, uninstall. |

[2013-01-05] A Google User: Awesome Things don't have to be dumbed down to learn. A mathematician doesn't have to dumb down numbers to teach. Invaluable tool, and a great place to start as most forums are full off arrogant people who are either too busy or sick of answering the basics. Having an extensive background in Linux and new to rooting phones, it's a great refresher. Thank you so much and nevermind the bad ratings people, this kind of stuff is really all about trial and error, and a lot of reading :) |

[2012-10-21] A Google User: @Ben - look at it another way . . . Emeril Lagasse prepares a meal and invites you to the table. One caveat. All he asks is that he sees what food is being eaten - not who is eating it. This so maybe he can prepare an even better meal the next time. What would you think about the guy who scoffs at the caveat, gives Emeril the lowest rating and complains he didn't get a meal. |
|

[2012-10-10] A Google User: Must agree to Analytics Why do we have to approve to be monitored by Google Analytics just to read this? If you disagree, you get dumped out. Uninstalled. |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Wow thanks I really think the author put the languege in an easy way |
|
[2012-10-01] A Google User: I'm Grateful, But Still Befuddled If I ever figure out how to root my devices, and I gain a really good understanding of the process and terms. Well, I'm going to create the most dumbed down, plain English, guide for rooting your device, that has every been written. I'm not saying this as a knock against this app or developer. In fact I'm extremely grateful that there are people like him, who are generous and take the time to help newcomers. But still, I think almost every person who has ever written a root guide. Has completely forgotten what is was like before they understood rooting, and or had programming knowledge. I think so many developers and programmers get put in this box and mindset of "Well, what I just wrote in the guide makes sense to me, I'm sure everyone else will understand it perfectly.". But when you deal with codes and numbers and commands as your job or full-time hobby, I think you lose the ability to step outside of the content, and look at it at from the view of someone who reads the guide, and to them it's basically like trying to understand a new language. And it doesn't help that so many root users that I've asked help from, are arrogant, condescending, hypocritical, puesdo-elitists. |
