what's the benefit of rooting ?


Benefit- More flexibility to customize your device and install some apps that are not compatible with unrooted androids. Downside- More open to security threats

more open to security threads... well yes I guess a little bit - but all root requests go through Superuser.apk so you still have plenty of control over what can and what cant acess root.

If we unroot to install the 2.1 update coming sometime in Q3 this year do you think we will still be able to root our phones this way again after updating? or can we update without unrooting?

I tried this on my ATT X10. Phone says it can not install non Android Market programs. I see the instructions to go Settings, Applications, and accept unknown programs but this option does not come up on my phone. Any other options to get non Android Market programs on my X10. Plus I would like to uninstall some of the crap that came on it. Uninstall programs have not worked.

Manage to install a black theme but, i kinda disapointed.. not everything was skinned so it looks like crap anyways

and themes was the only thing i could think of i wanted to be able to do with root

so i will "un-root" and wait for the 2.1 update

I've rooted then I un-rooted.

The reason why was because wavesecure has added a feature that allows you to switch on the GPS on your phone remotely, so it can be tracked to within a few metres, should it be stolen, lost etc, and it only works on rooted phones.

However, it requires Amon RA or Clockworkmod which I can't seem to find.
