you should make another video and dumb it down even more because I still had no idea what you were talking about the majority of the video. I'm switching to android so I'm new to everything so an even more basic video would be helpful
3 years back i saw this video and started to root my phones... now it has become impossible for me to use a phone without root. And after using rhoesoft ram expander, I dont even look at high budget phones.
Not the best video. Here's why: Your title is "Here's why you should root your android phone" to which you proceed to list off reasons YOU or others have ALREADY DONE. What does that mean? The typical user who doesn't know a root from a jailbreak will not be swayed by this video, and in fact will likely be more scared than ever to go through with the rooting. You list off various reasons someone who has already rooted their phone will like to see, but for the typical guy, what the hell is the point? To back up the phone? That was the only well-talked about point. Backing up your phone is important, but it's not going to sell someone on rooting their device, especially when you mention how you can break the device upon rooting it and have to restore via back up. After that, you talk about various ROMs, but the typical user doesn't know what those are. Are they ROMs that let you play NES games? Are they ROMs that make your phone run faster? What do they do? Rather than list off this and that the ROMs can do, you should have SHOWN us. Showing why this or that is cool is much better than running through every reason why it is cool. If you show us, we can draw from what you're showing us as to if it's worth it. "Woah, my phone can't do that! And we have the same phone! Awesome, I'm definitely going to root" But sadly, all this video is is rom rom rom back up root room. And that's alright. Maybe you're not the best salesmen, but you're a good teacher. You could maybe show people who already rooted their phone a few good roms they have never heard of, but you're never going to convince someone at this rate. Rooting is scary, and you do very little to ease them into it. Just calling it like I see it.
Thanks for the info, did a great job. I was wondering wtf rooting was and now I know it is absolutely pointless and a waste of time.
best "why to root your phone" video, other videos rely on app info to push the message, yours is actually informative [if i was new to the game] great job sir.
Thank you so much for the education on this video about rooting! I was afraid to do it but someone told me its okay to do it but don't do anything stupid and always create backups thanks!
Thanks for this video. I was always curious about this topic.
5 years ago rooting was a must (or if you have a 5 yr old phone)...these days rooting is mostly for customization.... ...developers, especially Android, are giving us a lot more control over turning apps on and off, clearing cache, etc.....overclocking is "overrated" (no pun intended)...quad core snapdragon 805 cpu's are plenty sufficient and there are tons of apps that bypass the few restrictions that remain today.
Dude which is that app which u got the list of apps when you swiped it right..!! refer time in your video 1t 00:35
I rooted my phone about 5 months ago, and the first two things I did was use DroidVPN and delete all google related apps except for the play store
4:12 whats that app???(it's name) is it on android?? and pleas what is the "ROM" or the "launcher" on this device
I wish I was smart and could do some of this stuff without messing everything up and having to reboot! But thanks for the info!
Absolutely loving this style of video from you, Taylor. It's like an Android Guy video, except teh basics that silly internet folk need.
IMPORTANT: Messing with the clock speed of your device requires some knowledge because overclocking could result in burning your processor and underclocking could lead to a device that takes forever to boot up.
Which launcher was there on that device man ? Tws awesome
this video actually convinced me not to root my device... I'm just getting old for this shit
how do you get the home, recent apps an back button in your touch screen in 4:01 ? does it depend on roms ?
If I root my fax machine will it go faster ?
What rom are you running in this video? I love the way it looks, as well as the swipe From the left app drawer
