System Ugoos Features

Root

Root feature gives you ability to change system files manually or using other apps.

Usually users know why they need it. Most of the time special apps required root rights because they need to get info from some secured files of your device. If you don’t know why you need, you better to keep this option off.

Root feature has two options: silent root is when all the apps get root when they need, and SuperSu app installation, when you manually able to choose an app to provide root access.
