5 Reasons Why Android Is Objectively Better Than iOS (For The Power User)

4. Rooting

A little less sleek, sure, but you'll learn to appreciate this thingy.

Rooting (Android) is, by default, a process that brings more power to the user than jailbreaking (iOS) does. When Apple users jailbreak their iDevice, they get the options to, don't faint now: choose their default web browser, use a file browser, change keyboard and much, much more. Yeah. They get to do stuff Android users can do from the get-go. Rooting, on the other hand, gives you total control over your Android. Overclock your processor, uninstall bloatware, add kernel codes to your ROM... Heck, why not go and flash a whole new OS such as Ubuntu? Err, not practical, sure, but it's possible! It might sound overwhelming at first, but it really isn't. Most devices have specific guidelines and software that makes rooting possible, but every procedure is essentially the same as the others.

The whole rooting process takes about 10 to 15 minutes, even if you don't have any experience with it. Just read a lot of up-to-date guides and be prepared to do what it takes. After this, you'll get to tweak absolutely everything you can think about, leaving iFans choking in shame. They can have their "simplicity" and "clarity", while we own their asses in the awesomeness department. Yeah. That sentence sounds badass enough. If you have a friend that has rooted his device, and you want him to do the same to yours, don't. It's better to do things like this for yourself simply because it gives you an insight into what you can and can't do. At the very least, ask your tech-savy pal to root the device when you're around, so that you can figure it out.
