How to Root the LG G4 Step By Step

How to Root the LG G4

The LG G4 is one of the best Android smartphones released in 2015. As a follow-up to last year’s groundbreaking LG G3, the LG G4 promises to take full advantage of the stunning 1440×2560 pixel screen.

The G4 also comes loaded with 32GB of internal storage and 3GB of RAM. The camera is the best we’ve seen on an LG Android smartphone to date. It features a 16MP sensor capable of shooting 5312×1988 pixel photographs as well as 1080p video at 60 frames per second. It also has optical image stabilization – something that is guaranteed to make a significant quality difference in every photo you take.

Powering all of this technology is Qualcomm’s 64-bit, hexa-core Snapdragon 808 process, which runs at a clock speed of 1.8GHz.

Other key features of the LG G4 include Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, a replaceable 3,000mAh battery, and expandable storage capable of supporting a microSD card up to 128GB in size.

But given all of these powerful stats, the LG G4 could still be better. It still comes pre-loaded with LG apps and carrier apps you don’t need. Plus, the battery life is worse than most of the phone’s competitors.

Want an easy, 5 minute way to solve all of these problems? Try rooting your LG G4. It’s never been more popular – or easier to do.

Rooting the LG G4 with One Click Root

It’s easy to use One Click Root to root your LG G4 in under 5 minutes.

And don’t worry: You don’t have to be an Android expert or big computer geek to do it. There’s no need to run commands or download suspicious executable files from shady Russian websites.

Instead, all you need is 5 minutes of time, a computer with an internet connection, an LG G4, and the standard USB cable that came with your phone:

Step 1) Download One Click Root and install it on your PC, Mac, or Linux computer

Step 2) Pick up your LG G4 and enable USB debugging from the settings menu

Step 3) Connect your LG G4 to your computer via your USB cable

Step 4) Run the One Click Root software and wait for the rooting process to be completed

That’s it! Within 3-4 minutes, the One Click Root software will have successfully unlocked access to the core files of your device.

All of your old apps, data, and personal contact information will still be there once your phone restarts. The only thing that’s changed is that you now have a way more powerful smartphone.

What to Do After Rooting your LG G4

Rooting the LG G4 is the beginning of an exciting new adventure for you and your phone.

First, let’s tackle the number one complaint people have about the LG G4: it has bad battery life.

You can easily fix that problem by installing an app like SetCPU, which automatically limits CPU cycles when they’re not needed. This has been shown to add 30 to 45 minutes onto your battery life every day.

Oh, you want more than 45 minutes of battery life? That’s okay! Try installing the world’s two most popular battery saving apps: Greenify and Juice Defender. These apps both work in a similar way. They identify battery-hogging background processes, then neutralize those processes without reducing your device’s functionality.

At the same time, you can save battery life and clear up hard drive space by deleting unwanted LG bloatware from your phone.

Some of the best LG apps to get rid of include Carrier IQ (which spies on your usage patterns). Carrier IQ is found in the root LG G4 directory as LADDM.apk and can safely be removed.

You may also want to remove LG apps you don’t use, like LG Intelligent Agent, LG Bookmark Provider, and the GLONASS Airwave Test.

Depending on where you buy your LG G4, your carrier might install additional bloatware. Verizon and AT&T are both bad for installing unwanted bloatware.

Overall, the LG G4 is surprisingly low in bloatware compared to other Android devices. The only way you can remove any of this bloatware, however, is by rooting the device.

One popular thing people like to do after rooting their phones is to remove the UI. The LG G4 UI, however, is one of the best available in the Android world today. You would be hard-pressed to find a custom ROM or alternative skin that looks better than LG’s UX 4.0 UI (still, it’s good to have that option just in case).

Thanks to One Click Root, anyone can root their LG G4 quickly, easily, and safely. If you want to squeeze every drop of performance and battery life out of your device, then rooting is the best way to do that!
