Rooting the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is when you unchain the internal system by installing the SuperSU application. The SuperSU app itself doesn’t do much to your operating system apart from granting the rooting privileges to the apps that request to have root access. That’s where being an experienced Android user comes into play, because if you allow root access to a hacker, he just might jump into your banking apps, messaging apps, and other scary places. It’s very easy not to allow that to happen, though. All you need to do is remember not to grant access to anything you cannot identify when the pop-up message appears on your display.
Root access to the Linux kernel is not for everyone. If you don’t think your name belongs on the list of should be administrators of your operating system, then don’t root the device. For everyone else, there is a ton of upside and begins with apps.

One app we always recommend for Samsung owners is the Titanium Backup app. As long as you don’t go crazy, you can start removing some of the system apps without causing any operating system instability.
