Rooting the Samsung Galaxy Note is the easiest way to use the Android operating system it runs without any restrictions. Phone carrier networks, manufacturers and Android to a lesser extent all have an influence on creating limitations for your Android OS both to keep you within their business environment to continue making money from you well after you have bought the device and to keep your smartphone safer than it would be if it were unlocked.

Many benefits come from rooting the Android operating system, including being able to install more apps, being able to delete apps that you couldn’t before, and being able to install custom ROMs. Apps are probably at the forefront of the list of things people do with a rooted Android, and there are oodles of them waiting to be installed online when you have finally worked out how to get the Samsung Galaxy Note rooted.

One of the common root apps people choose to install is the Device Control application. As you can probably guess, the Device Control app is all about giving you, the end user, more control over your Android, which is a fitting way to start your rooted Android experience since it is what rooting is all about. Some of the common things you can do with the Device Control app include adjusting your GPU and CPU frequencies, change the strength of the vibrations, changing the screen color temperature and about twenty or so other things that you will enjoy.
