with my phone .If root my phone will tha help to play all videos?And can i root my phone?

Thnks guys yo are awsome

Can you root your phone? Sure. Will it help with the videos? No. Rooting just lets apps that need root access get it. If an app is running on a phone that hasn't been rooted, chances are it doesn't need root. (An app could try to get root, then - if it fails - just silently not give you certain options.) Flashing a new ROM may give you new capabilities - rooting just allows apps that need root to run as root.
