Well, Android's source open source nature could possibly be useless to you come the next version of it and why Kitkat could possibly be the last version to support your favorite root apps and give you all those advantages.. Read on to find.
Imagine your world without root apps. The word root would perhaps best describe the bottom of a plant or tree. Sounds scary, doesn't it? Well known developer Chainfire has revealed that the next version of Android could perhaps stop root apps from working -- at least until developers find a fix to this problem. But before we turn to Google to blame, it has to be noted that it is a security enhancement and not a direct attempt to block root apps. A recent commit to the Android Open Source Project master tree has been spotted that will prevent apps from extracting files to directories located on the /data partition and then executing them as root. The idea is that this could prevent some malicious programs from executing scripts on the /data partition. This looks secure but at the price of using root apps. It will be a mystery till the next version of Android releases be it 4.5 or whatever they call it. The good news is that developers can hopefully solve that problem by changing the way root apps can work which will will on most root apps.
