Title: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: Spoetnik on November 03, 2015, 10:42:14 AM Have you rooted your Android phone ?
I did so i can install "Lucky Patcher" and patch some app's like PowerAmp (the best music player) I use a custom kernel + custom recovery and have debated using custom roms but chose to use stock roms.. i always hear about broken features or stuff i don't like on custom roms. i have Lollipop on my cheap Motorola E (2nd gen) phone. I bought it then went and got an unlimited usage monthly / contract for it (so i own my phone / paid in full) So do you guys use Android ? Did you root ? Apple users.. your doing it wrong ;) Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ?

Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: Spoetnik on November 03, 2015, 11:30:21 AM Yes I have. I did it to boost my performance, mainly for gaming. Good point.. Could be lots of reasons but piracy was my top reason Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: CryptoCanary on November 03, 2015, 11:34:13 AM I have not.

Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: FanEagle on November 03, 2015, 12:52:35 PM Bought it and it was already rooted+custom recovery.
Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: Skaven on November 03, 2015, 01:26:26 PM I have not, gotta get my pros and cons together
Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: Parazyd on November 03, 2015, 01:51:17 PM Of course. I hadn't owned a single Android phone I didn't root.
Speaking of it... Hadn't owned a stock Android phone for a long time. I always tend to use custom ROMs and recoveries. :-[ Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: Spoetnik on November 03, 2015, 08:36:08 PM Don't worry about rooting warranty stuff.. many companies will still cover you if you un-root it.
Also i am surprised how many said yes in the Poll wow ! Like i said the main reason i did it was to get free software AKA:Piracy But i mod everything i get my hands on so.. I don't care about my warranty though.. my phone was cheap it cost me $130 can. If it breaks i will buy a new one. Also i have Google setup to back up EVERYTHING. it required hitting two check box's LOL One was the backup options and the other was downloading Google Photo's and hitting that checkbox. So when i re-install a new firmware wiping out my phone and i log into my Gmail account the phone restores everything.. from installed app's to contacts to pic's and txt messages and emails etc Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: catena5260 on November 04, 2015, 05:20:39 AM never, I use it for 2FA too
Title: Re: [POLL] Have you rooted your Android phone ? Post by: xmaxbit on November 04, 2015, 06:02:53 AM No, I am also surprised how so many guys have said yes. I haven't rooted it and the primary cause is fear of getting the phone marked as useless . Its also bit tough to unroot the phone again. I have a samsung galaxy s duos 7562 android ice cream sandwich OS.

I have a samsung galaxy s duos 7562 android ice cream sandwich OS. For me it's quite easy to unroot it. I just have to flash back the stock ROM. That's what I like about custom ROMs. They're so easy to reverse. |
