Ok besides being able to explore system files and backing up the Kyocera rise is there any other point for rooting it?

The EGL hacks for performance and battery and... That's about it, sadly. Its about why I rooted it.
Not just the rise rather any phone in particular.Due to what I know from years of actual ex(over 10) my phone is better than any phone out just lacks 4g and multiple cores even on a locked loader.For example yours and everyone else ram is 512 mine was over 2gb back when I unlocked the loader momentarily,even with heavy use gaming,net,videos,music,and etc batt is still over 5 hours due to other mods only possible through rooting,overclock your gpu mine was 400 when I momentarily unlocked the loader,change fonts(not recommended for those who lack competence install the wrong one and phone will loop with no way to recover since this is a ui mod and 3e recovery nor factory resest touch it only cwm),chainfire 3d even with egl driver just given locked settings are not there,supercharger v6,and etc.Literally a lot is possible with rooting any phone just a matter of one actually knowing what their doing

Ok thanks that was alot of info. Will work on learning how to do all of that now. 
Your welcome just keep in mind from prior these are all UI mods meaning a mistake of anykind even minor will either loop or brick ones phone with no way to recover at the moment this will change due time wise.Given your just starting out learn how to use SuperChargerV6 as its the easiest from being a simple script

Yeah I learned the hard way about mistakes already. Luckily for me VM replaced the one I put in boot loop.

Considering a hardware level teardown only reveals 512MB of RAM on the mainboard, its impressive you've somehow found another 1.5GB of it.
On a locked loader that is impossible when I unlocked it momentarily its not since again this phones true potential is hendered from forementioned

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't change the physical properties of the RAM chip, which is 512MB. The only thing you'd be able to do is use all 2GB of the storage chip, not the RAM, which I could believe. The PBA doesn't physically have 2 gigabytes of RAM on it.

With no custom recovery, you have to tread lightly when it comes to mods on this phone's /system. The easiest things to do are the usual root apps, like titanium, greenify, wifi tether, DroidWall, and adaway. The egl tweak is one of the best too. Other than that, I wouldn't monkey too much.
The mod I did to my phones ram requires a rooted phone and an unlocked loader simultaneously otherwise its null and void..With it I can increase forementioned to anything desired

You ARE aware that RAM is a function of hardware, not software, and that what you are claiming is impossible unless you resoldered the PBA itself, right?
No offense but for you or a "regaular" person that may be impossible but given I'm far from forementioned it is.Nothing to do with soldering but I rebuilded something from the ground up just like I did with my version of beats audio.you will see whenever unlocking the loader comes fruition.Right now my ram is back at stock

Again, answer my question: Did you change the hardware? If yes, then possible. If no, then you're not talking about RAM and are just trying to sound elitist through confusing wording and "regular person" comments.

Interesting concept, if it's possible to increase ram in virtualization running on a PC than its definitely possible or soon will be on android. Which now leads me to wonder if it is possible to run many droid devices from one device using virtualization software.
Yes as long as one does the following and nothing else your good to go.
1)Download the latest version of v6 supercharger,busy box,script manager,and pimp my rom
2)Chronological order run down like this busy box,pimp my rom(only use to activate int scripts leave everything else alone),script manager,v6 supercharger making sure to give it root permissons by ticking the skull
3)Upon installation of v6 itself unless you know what your actually doing set nothing to run on boot except v6 itself otherwise you will change something significant and bootloop your phone with no way to recover
(after your done in the same area with skull tick boot box)
4)As for chainfire 3d everything works including egl driver with install just given a locked loader settings are missing for egl everything else is still present
It was a bad azz variation of swap to increase it to anything desired literally.Terminology wise that equates to being crack in reality and not whats precieved on a forum its how I converse
Already is but only for those who actually know what their doing as with modding in general not just an os

Okay. So it was virtualized swap space. Now it makes more sense.
Thank you for answering my question.

No not here. Just make sure it's possible before you try it. KYOCERA RISE LOVES to permanently lock itself in boot loader mode. Then you're rise is dead and as of now there is no bringing it back from the dead.
