Q: WHAT IS ROOT??

A: Rooting is the process used to gain access to the "root" folders of your device (the parts that make up the software that runs the device)

Q:Why is it done???

A: Rooting can help change boot animations, install new roms, delete pre-installed apps that came with the device and more

Q: what is ROM???

A: A rom is the Operating System, think of it as the Windows xp,vista and 7 but with android 2.1, 2.2 & 2.3 (obviously there's more android OS's) custom roms can be added when a device is rooted

Q: WHERE TO GET FULL VERSION APPS FOR MY MOBILE???

A:
Step 1: Download the free app Atorrent from the market.
Step 2: Go to thepiratebay.com on your device
Step 3: Search for the app you want (you probably should put android in your search eg. paper camera android)
Step 4: Click download torrent
Step 5: Go to Atorrent that will be automatically running and install the app
