hi ajit …
I am very glad to know about such interesting stuff after rooting. But one thing which is bothering me alot that
I want to know that after rooting–> customizing it–>unrooting it.
“In this process , the customizations will be retained or get removed ??”
Hi,
By Rooting Android, we’re just giving our Android phone the “root access” or “Administrator access”.
So, after rooting if you customize anything and if you unroot it. Then, Customization will be retained but if you’ve installed any app for customization which requires root access. Then, in that case, that root app will not work.
Yeah, customization or modification done will be retained.
I always just aim to flash a new ROM and overclock my CPU.
