I need help with understanding the root.
Rooting.
Sounds simple enough to you Android users. Probably the most common word tossed around in the community. Problem is, as a Windows Phone User, I've never needed to to root anything in my life.
My question isn't as simple as "How do I root" it goes beyond just that. Tomorrow I'll be receiving my first Android phone and jumping into the waters I'll like to know my options. I'm tech savvy, just no experience with Android, so here's my questions. Please try to be as in-depth with your answers.
1) Is rooting universal, or do you need to wait for a specific device to be "rooted"?
2) Is there a way to "unroot" for warranty/upgrade purposes.
3) What are the major benefits of rooting, and how do you change the majority of options?
4) How customizable is your phone post-root vs the stock?
5) Does rooting increase battery-life? 6) Will I be able to keep stock and upgrade to L?
7) How easy is it to switch Skins?
8) Will this make me able to download apps currently blocked by LG G3's resolution?
9) What complications can it cause?
10) List the reason you root your device!
