What's The Point of Rooting/Modding Your Android?

[Dre Space Age]

Samsung Kies is not recognizing my Samsung Galaxy...

This rooting shyt harder than I thought.

you paid a lot of money for the phone, so you might as well use it to its full capabilities.

 

[itsyoung!!]

rooting your phone means that you become the administrator of your device. you are on expert level. So you risk bricking your phone etc...rooting your phone allows you to fully customize your phone to run custom roms and do other stuff

But i thought the argument for droid was that you cam customize it more out the box than the iphone?

aside from no bluetooth, and a sometimes flakey camera, its running great. Im not sure what CM collects from the installs (as far as performance data) but its run the best it has in almost a year.

WTF? HELL NAH

and if you use linux in any shape or form as one of your OSs and run it as admin...chance are yo want to enjoy the same login privilege (root) on your mobile device if you want to screw around with it.
