Just google it if they wont answer you.

googling

root = giving user the admin persmission to do changes ( using titanium backup , to install a clockworkmod for on phone flashing of custom rom)


jailbreak = gives user ability to use cxdix and download cracked apps.


Btw, android can install those apps without root . so thats about it.

Closed topic on Jailbreak and pirated apps. You guys wont like to go for vacation dont you

jailbreak same as prison break?

one is iOS, another is tv show

in other word boosting the performance of your phone

read up on internet before you start questioning

reading, thinking whether wanna root my phone now anot. but lazy cos of the hassle

if you think is hassle and you are lazy, then don't, leave your phone as it is and use it, root is meaningless unless you learn to use it

lol thats why i say thinking only and FYI i didnt root it yet.

you should root it to have access to a lot of convinience

root mean administor privilege,

root is like give you the admin permission
which can change everything you want

1st time I saw 5200 kbps download! Via celcom broadband:

i see. later read up on how to root 1st

for voice recording, where is thev recording directory for saved files does anyone know ;_; ?

But this is a risk all of us who root our phones accept. The smart ones obviously install security apps like avast mobile security, adaway, SuperSU, amongst others for precautionary measures

So if you manage the security of your android, then i think the risk is well worth it, seeing as a lot of useful apps require that your android smartphone is rooted.

antivirus apps? like too stupid for me lol... nevermind everyone have different taste

sorry to insult, not my intention. Let me rephrase that, what i mean't was people who were prudent in regards to security matters. Better ?

If you don't install much apps, then less risk malware/virus can get your android, but then what is the fun then of owning an android smartphone

well let me just share the most useful of the security apps being avast mobile security.

1. it's free
2. it's was top 2 in the 2012 mobile anti virus roundup by professionals in terms of detection and removal of virus/malware
3. this AV is especially good for rooted phones unlike kaspersky which lacks being able to install to the root.
4. if your phone gets lost or stolen, there is a ton of security measures in place. You can locate the phone via gps, you can prevent the phone data from being read using encryption or auto wipe, if the SIM card gets replaced, you will be notified what the new sim card phone number is etc etc...
5. it doesn't drain much battery. the app most cpu/power intensive activity occurs, when scanning apps when your installing them, and also scheduled scans, or manually forced scans. it's very efficient.

so for this minimally needed app, i don't see much reason not to use it



The 2nd app simply because it's just as good. Adaway.
1. it detects adware
2. it blocks them
3. yes it's also free
4. very efficient uses little power unless running the scan manually


Without adaway you will be plagued by lots of adaware traffic, and push notifications especially from free apps on googleplay (and even some paid apps as well).
