Now, if you want to use your real device for testing throughout this course, there are a few considerations

00:07.900 --> 00:08.800
to be made first.

00:11.010 --> 00:13.350
So the device needs to be suitable.

00:14.290 --> 00:15.760
So what does ruling mean?

00:17.130 --> 00:23.370
Rooting an Android phone or a tablet allows you to dive deeper into a phone subsystem.

00:24.310 --> 00:32.290
That might be obvious, but after rooting, you can access the entirety of the operating system to customize

00:32.290 --> 00:39.490
just about anything on your Android device, and you can get around many restrictions that the manufacturer

00:39.490 --> 00:41.620
or carrier may have applied.

00:43.090 --> 00:48.400
But I want to tell you that routine can sometimes be dangerous for your phone, and you definitely need

00:48.400 --> 00:49.030
to be careful.

00:50.530 --> 00:56.980
Worst case scenario would be that if you don't follow the instructions correctly, it could damage your

00:56.980 --> 00:58.270
device irreparably.

00:59.170 --> 01:05.560
Many people think that the potential benefits are worth it because with a routed phone, you can speed

01:05.560 --> 01:12.010
up your processor and customize just about every element of your phone software's appearance.

01:13.050 --> 01:19.440
Now, if you are going to work on a real device, rather coarse, just first backup everything because,

01:20.310 --> 01:23.750
well, just everything that you can't live without, right.

01:24.150 --> 01:26.490
I shouldn't have to tell you that, but.

01:27.430 --> 01:28.800
There it is, that's your warning.

01:29.080 --> 01:31.450
So before you start back up, everything that any.

01:32.910 --> 01:34.290
Now for emulators.

01:35.350 --> 01:38.710
You don't need to be rude, they are already rooted.

01:39.750 --> 01:46.710
So since I'm going to be using an emulator in the course and for the rooting process, therefore may

01:46.710 --> 01:49.590
be different for each phone according to its model.

01:50.940 --> 01:52.290
I just want to show you how to do it.

01:52.920 --> 01:53.310
All right.

01:54.810 --> 02:03.270
So open the browser and search for how to route on an Android device and to add XDA developers.

02:04.240 --> 02:07.480
And you can find out how to root for many devices on this website.

02:09.040 --> 02:15.490
So one of the easiest ways to root an Android device is by using an app and a number of rooting apps

02:15.490 --> 02:16.270
are out there.

02:17.220 --> 02:24.930
Some of them are listed here, magic is one of the most popular apps for this, that you can use any

02:24.930 --> 02:25.380
one of them.

02:26.700 --> 02:32.340
Now, if you want to do this yourself, you can find the rooting process for a variety of different

02:32.340 --> 02:32.920
models.

02:33.390 --> 02:37.800
You can always select your phone model from this list and look into the details.
