Rooting an Android smartphone can be intimidating, but sometimes it's worth learning how, in order to gain the benefits. But you won't need all that here, as this video will walk you through step by step in rooting your Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Rooting your phone is similar to jailbreaking an iOS device. It allows you access to parts of the OS Apple and Google would prefer you not to touch. Rooting an Android smartphone allows you to do things to your smartphone that your smartphone manufacturer is not supporting. For instance, if you love the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2, but don't like TouchWiz, there are tons of ROMs that you can install on your smartphone that remove TouchWiz, among other things. You can really customize your Android smartphone and make it work the way you want it to work. There are also many apps on the Google Play Store that are only for rooted devices; there are overclockers, launchers, customization apps and more.
The video is very easy to follow and will hold your hand through the whole experience. You can follow at your own pace and experience why so many Android users root their smartphones. Adam Outler on XDA created the video; you can check out the thread here. The one-click tool used will support Windows users and Linux users, and there is partial support for Mac users. A version for Mac OS X is expected to be released very soon. So sit back, relax and watch the very easy-to-follow video, and get your rooting on.
