    Magisk Root is now going neck to neck with SuperSu. Because, it is better than SuperSu in various aspects. Various ROM developers like Lineage OS, Resurrection Remix and others are now including Magisk in their official ROMs. Main reason behind it is that with Magisk you can hide root access. Example of a Pokemon Go and banking applications. If android smartphone is rooted with SuperSu and if you install a Pokemon Go or banking app. Then it will close automatically with a warning. Such application can not run on a rooted device. This is the key reason why ROM makers preferring Magisk over SuperSu in android system.

    Reason behind success of Magisk is that it does not touch any of your system files. It means that it does not make any changes in System Partition. No need to include any binaries in the system file to get root access. Our conventional method of rooting is to change system partition and add some files in system to obtain root access. This all things make android system untouched. This is the reason Magisk is called as a system-less root solution.

As Android Operating System also uses Kernel of Linux. It is nearly same like as LINUX based operating system.

    Why to Root Android? Purpose of Rooting Android Phone?

    Most important thing mobile companies doesn’t provide root access because of security threat to user privacy. Android comes with some security system which separates each and every application from another. When you root your android device you breach that security. It may cause some serious damage to your operating system and your privacy. That’s why when you root your smartphone you void your warranty of your device. Exceptions are the companies like YU, which encourage users to root their Android Smartphones. Rooting YU phones doesn’t void the warranty.

    Why Android Rooting Void Warranty?

    When you root your android device you remove all restrictions required to safeguard your device. Means you are exposing your device to malware. Exposing device for malware means you are infected. It may lead to bricking of your device. To protect from that threat mobile companies don’t provide root accessibility.

    After rooting your device, you can modify the system files without any restriction. User can also delete critical system files. Which will lead to serious problem. Smartphones are not easy as desktop so you can re-install android. To protect user from deleting system files root permission is not permitted from manufacturer.
