I would never have a main wallet on my Android.
I have only tiny amounts there, got a blockchain wallet, no complaints s far.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
So Mycelium is the best one.
Just saw most of here mention about it.
Just downloaded it and the interface look simple

'Best wallet' is different for different persons. I like 'GreenAddress' and Andreas Shildbach's Bitcoin wallet more than Mycelium.
GreenAddress for some of it's unique features and Andreas Shildbach's Bitcoin wallet for it's Bitcoin-qt like UI.

Noone use electrum on android??
Because it Python dependencies are needed for Electrum and most of the newbies go for simpler methods. Click 'Play Store' -> Search 'Bitcoin wallet' -> Install.
i think Electrum is the best android wallet if we learn how to use

In my view, android is not a very safe platform for a wallet unless the android system has nothing installed and will not be used for anything other than storing bitcoin.
Yes you are right, you should "keep" a clean android smartphone only as wallet for your bitcoin, it is not suggested to download other apps or visiting suspicious link (from that android smartphone)
You can save your android by 90% if you check permissions. You can easily understand for most of the apps, whether it is good or not if you check permissions.

small amount in wallet like that better use wallet never online
I personally use blockchain mobile for daily transaction in android devices. It is good and simple wallet. Another nice wallet should be mycellium bitcoin wallet. But i won't hold too many coins in android wallet cause there are many spyware in android
Is there something that looks like Bitcoin-qt (nice and clean) but lightweight for Android?

Why I told rooting depreciated is because most of the person doesn't know what they are doing and they end up pretty badly. If you go through XDA forum, you can find stories just like stories about 'lost BTC' here. I understood what you both told and I already added a line which tells it is no problem if a condition is met - see last line.
Back to the topic, I recommend GreenAddress(or GreenBits) or Andreas Shildbach's Bitcoin Wallet. Sorry if there is any typo.

That's why if you did the rooting method and you have some btc on that phone, also see on doing some backups and keep it in another hardware if ever you end up bricking your phone, you still have the back up and the bitcoins as well.
Like what you said, I would definitely recommend Andreas Schildbach's Bitcoin Wallet. Not even a single problem since the first day I used it. Totally reliable.

I use mycelium on my android. I think the best one.
i would recommend mycelium: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.wallet
Unfortunately, most warranty are voided once you do any modifications to it. Always read the terms and condition of the servicing center first, some of them do void warranty if you get your phone rooted. They have the rights to void the warranty.
the phone i'm talking about is oneplus one, they allow rooting/installing any roms you may like and phone's warranty isn't voided. 
Depreciated. Rooting your phone will destroy warranty and safety of your phone.

my phone's warranty isn't voided by rooting actually they support it lol and about the safety you can install firewall and whitelist the apps which you want allow to access internet and blacklist all others apps.-MZ

Why so complicated? Mycelium have an option to backup, go to menu and you will find an option to backup. Clouds are unsafe as they can be easily hacked with a password.
oh the app has backup option didn't knew about it thanks for letting me know. 
I also use Mycelium, I think is pretty good and intuitive.
Could some one explain me how to back up?
Thanks!
download titanium backup(your phone must be rooted) to backup your app+data and then if you like upload it on gdrive for extra backup. Could some one explain me how to back up?
Thanks!
Depreciated. Rooting your phone will destroy warranty and safety of your phone. If you have a malware, you will be in big danger as it can access to your root files. Don't do this unless you are testing and you know what you're doing.

Rooting can be a great help to phone enthusiasts and to those who want to make the most out of their mobiles. It's true that rooting voids out any warranty that a phone might have but not the safety of it, as long as you know what you're doing. You can still use your phone as a mobile wallet even if it's rooted provided that you make backups frequently and store the data on another hardware that isn't connected to the internet. In that way, you'll make sure that your coins are safe plus you get the most out of your phone.
