Rooting android pros and cons

       To android jailbreak or Root Android, in simple words, is a technique to unlock your android phone, which will allow you to conquer the long list of limitations that the manufacturer of the phone imposes on it.

The main reason of putting these limitations by manufacturers of android phones is to prevent you to make any changes to system, which can make it unusable.
