title: I need root permissions to execute a native application under Android?
body: <p>I have compiled a native application, a terminal only application basically, with the android NDK, my main problem right is that I can't change the permissions on my executable ( a dynamically linked one ) like so <code>chmod +x executable</code> to test and use the application.</p>
  
  <p>I need to root my device just to do that ?</p>
  
  <p>I tried with both <code>adb shell</code> and a random terminal application directly from my phone.</p>
