basically it means u have access to the phones interal operating system, you can delete programs that your phone supplier puts on them and also add programs that other wise you would not be able to do, like in the android os you can use titanium backup, manipulation basically, taking out stuff that slows your phone down

Just reading that stuff, I think it may be advisable to find a different app unless you are a bit of a whizz with these things.
