At this point in the month, with the introduction of Android 5.0 Lollipop and new devices Nexus back on our calendars, you could say that we know almost everything there is to know about the new Google , from the new features of Android Lollipop until new specifications phabletand tablet Nexus family. However, everything seems to have been announced loudly by the Mountain View company, and in particular, this news we see on XDA is not quite good for those who love the flexibility enjoyed by Android.
With this, the root might not be easy for everyone, and you may lose relevance. In particular, we refer to the root access . For almost its appearance in 2009, Android and root access have been always holding hands, giving the user the ability to access all files and data available on the terminal to modify key elements of it, thus allowing for greater customization and some improvement in performance, which could not get stock Android. But time has passed and now with Android Lollipop, performance and flow is excellent , so maybe Google thinks that root access is not as necessary in the interests of greater safety.
The renowned master of rooteo Chainfire has put us who tipped off about this issue and explaining that Android Lollipop disables root access and also prevent the script used for rooting your device can not be executed during the boot sequence. Instead, this script would SELinux within a bounded system Linux known for their safety. As a consequence of this, if you want to be root should be at the level of kernel or kernel level, and you can not install a custom kernel unless you count with root access, so that it becomes a paradox in which you lose root access.
And here is where the debate comes in: ? is it still necessary or not root Android Personally, for me it is a crossroads, because I want Android even safer than it is already, but not sure I want to sacrifice to change my terminal will to get this added security.
