Is there any point in rooting you cell Phone?

Posted by Nexus_Core on May 03, 2011

Since I got my first Android phones, I've always wondered why people root them and what is the gain for the average or even the seasoned user? What are the pros and cons of doing that to your cellphone

We have to mention that, when the smartphone is rooted it's more vulnerable...

If you don't plan on tinkering deep within the OS, don't root, you won't notice any difference.

If you want full usage of your cell like #maxpain said you need to root it

And what is included in this "full usage"?
