  2. Root your Phone<\/h2>\"How

    Rooting your phone means that you unlock the operating system and make yourself a Super Administrator and gain privileged access to all parts of the operating system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    When your phone is rooted, you can install unauthorized applications, update the operating system, uninstall applications that came with the phone that you consider bloatware or unnecessary, and under and overclock the processor, among others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    This process can void your warranty and damage the operating system completely if you do not know what you are doing, so approach with care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    You may have to go to Security and enable installing apps from unknown sources to achieve this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    To do this, you will have to download software. Here are a few options:<\/span><\/p>\n
