this thread is directed at the casual android users not the experts. If your phone doesnt work like it use to bring the shyt back to the store. If its a known issue via blog posts then you can take it in your own hands.

CM10 isn't flawless, but it offers more options and tweaks then the stock experience. I think part of the reason they've been unable to release a stable build is cause Google has been dropping updates a lot quicker over the last 2 years. The nightly builds run just fine on my phone and I've yet to run into any critical bugs.
I like to tweak and tinker with every electronic I own, so there's no version of Android that Google can drop that will stop me from wanting alter it in some way by rooting it. I don't root to gain access to free shyt, so I agree with you when you say we should support the developers by purchasing apps. I can tether my phone without rooting anyway.
You should of stated that from the start breh.
. You were gonna have the true Android tweakers up in arms. I agree with that though. Casual users don't really need to root on 4.0+ at this point.ok if you own a note 2 or a gs3 do you really want it to be faster??
do you want additional customization like toggles that you can get via power toggles
customize your lock screen?? apps for that
only reason to root would be to get on the latest software.

Please stop!!! If you have any android phone running ICS android 4.0 or above. Rooting is overrated. If you own an old phone that came with gingerbread then root and run a custom rom. Remember when you root and run a custom rom you will spend all your time repairing it and bring it back to normal
People used to root their android phones because of bloated skins from the manufacturers. Blur is now bone stock outside the icons. Sense is semi bloated. Touchwiz is fast. You can disable bloatware now with ICS. Android right now is ahead of the dev community. If you are running ICS on your GS3 or One X and you have no issues leave your phone as is. Go to the playstore and grab a jelly bean launcher. You can get the stock experience by using apps from the playstore. Google now is not enough to brick your phone or to void the warranty. I see people rooting and running custom roms on their nexus 7
Android out the box is great.....
Exactly why I no longer root... I'm not about that dev life.
Android IS great out of the box. And I think carriers allow tethering now ( which makes sense since they're making people pay per GB these days anyway.... though not me
)I guess you could also get the latest OS update... as long as you don't mind being, essentially, a beta tester, but again, I'm not about that life.
I like to tweak things such as the boot animation, which requires root, and hell yes I'd like to make my phone faster. The option is there, so why not?
Some guys like to over clock their CPU's to the max just cause they can. If I buy a sports car, I wouldn't be content with the power it came with. I wanna see how fast I can make that bytch go

I blame google 100% because Google is so delusional with these vague videos. Samsung had a guy demo the note 2 and show off every single feature top to bottom. They made a video showcasing the features. Google need to be more like samsung and show off the features via commercials. People dont know shyt about the phone unless you had an old android device. The nexus 7 commercials were so poor in showing off the damn tablet. People get their info from TV not youtube. Look at the push the ipad mini will get from apple. Now imagine if people had seen the nexus 7 and google now + google wallet + the price of the nexus 7

Never had any driver issues. I've been flashing custom roms since WinMo days.
My GPS works marvelously.
No issues with nightly's here.

yeah they do with the shared plan
custom rom=beta testers they gave my old evo life with ICS but it had so many issues because if the drivers. Nexusand samsung phones are easy to root. Htc and motorola dont even think about unlocking the bootloader they can track it

Their marketing is horrible and so was that Nexus 7 commercial. Ain't no one care about some nikka in the woods with his son when we're talking tech.
They have to find a way to showcase the features of their devices without having their commercials look too much like Apple's.

Add ASUS to that list of manufacturers that track unlocked bootloaders
Honestly, I will never root and unlock a tablet again. That's not something I replace on the regular, and with something as big and delicate as a tablet, there's too many things that can go wrong.
