KingRoot

KingRoot is the app that you can use to root your Android phone or tablet with just one click. It's the easiest and fastest way of becoming the superuser

The application to start your Android system with just one click

The main advantages of Android over other operating systems for smartphones and tablets, such as iOS and Windows Phone, lie in the enormous customization options available to its users. Especially if you own a phone without custom shifts (as is common with manufacturers like Huawei, Sony or Samsung, for example) and with superuser permissions.

But what happens when your phone has one of these layers and comes with pre-installed apps or bloatware on behalf of the manufacturer or even your phone company? Well, if you want to have full control over your device, you need to root it. And now, thanks to apps like KingRoot, this isn't such a complicated task, it's just the process.

What is it good for and why should I root my Android?

Before we start, why would you want to root your mobile device? Because being SuperSU has its perks when it comes to handling the phone and enhancing our user experience:

• The ability to speed up the functioning of the operating system.
• Saves the battery.
• Uninstall the bloatware installed by default.
• Remove ads.
• Improve the backup system.
• More customization options.

How to root in just one click

One of the main advantages of this application is its simplicity. Installing the APK will allow us to root our device in a few steps without having to connect it to a PC (although you can also download a version of KingRoot for Windows).

To do this, it offers us a step-by-step process in which we only have to follow the on-screen instructions and restart the phone once the process is complete. And to check that everything has been done correctly, we can resort to apps of the likes of Root Checker, a tool that analyzes the root status of any smartphone.

However, keep in mind that you may encounter problems during the rooting process when you need to restore your device to factory settings in case the process got interrupted. Therefore, it is highly recommended to create a backup of all the information stored on your mobile phone before you start rooting.

You should also know that rooting a device also comes with some disadvantages:

• If the process doesn't go well, you run the risk of blocking your phone.
• The operating system may become unstable.
• You will lose the warranty for your device.

In any case, if you know what you're doing, it's a quick and safe way to become the superuser of your Android, whether you're running 4.1, 4.4.4, 5.0, 5.1.1, 6.0, 6.0.1 or even use 7.0 Nougat as several forums (including XDA) have shown that it works on mobile phones with this version of Google OS.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 2.3.
• Installing the app using the APK file requires enabling the "Unknown Sources" option in Settings > Applications.
