Compared to other operating systems, Android is one of the very few mobile operating systems that welcome and embrace the idea of independent developers. Because of Android’s open nature, developers are able to modify, tweak, hack, and customize their devices the way they want.
As a result a variety of customized ROMs are spreading like airborne viruses, searching for refuge in your Android device. Many of such custom ROMs even outrun device manufacturers and network carriers in releasing the most updated Android version out to the public.
Needless to say, root access is generally required for any Android user to be able to load up a device with a custom ROM. Although dealing with technical stuff such as rooting seems an impossible feat to a beginner, one can actually easily root one’s device through one-click methods.
In the case of the recently released Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1 on Verizon, developer Dan Rosenberg, a.k.a djrbliss, has created a rooting file package that easily roots your Motorola Droid XYBoard 10.1. Such a hassle-free solution opens the tablet to customization and full control of your Android tablet.
