Well, I just don't really have a justifiable 'need' to root, as I said above, sure I could root and take advantage of it, to a point. But in my mind, I'm pretty happy mostly stock.

Remember, my S3 is international unbranded, so I've got no bloatware. Only the standard Sammy crap. (all dumped into a sammy folder on the ap draw, as with all the Google junk)

Plus as I don't / won't pay for phone insurance, I don't want to void the warranty just yet. The old portal was pretty much an entry level phone (equivalent to a galaxy ace) so it was cheap, and I just wasn't that bothered about it, but I still didn't root that until after the warranty expired naturally. So having shelled out $450 each for two S3's, and being as awesome as they are, I'm sure I can live with them being stock for a while longer before deciding to 'play around' with 'em.

Atm my only reason for rooting, really, would be to gain control over the CPU and over/under clock via Tasker when charging etc, but the quad 1.4ghz is meaty enough, when throttled to quad 1.0ghz on power saving for doing what I need to be honest.

It is one snappy phone. I'd love to have that processor in my GNex. Couple odd friends have the unlocked GSM GS3. They also have AT&T :vroam:

I kind of suspected you where a rooter :o

Of course the Big Red version is locked down a bit more.

I have clean rom on mine but I am going to attempt to return to stock rooted and downloading the image now. Mobile odin next, update TWRP and attempt to make a backup of my stuff and see if I can get things to work and hope this will kind of fix the airplane toggle mode I have needed here and there.

Yea, but if you root, then we can teach you the secret knock to get in the clubhouse.
So C' Mon over. The grass really is greener on this side.
:-)

BTW, Good Morning All!

About to order some funky pineapple strawberry seeds. This garden thing is fun! It is to be 89 here today, so I believe I will start my tan quest soon.

Hope all is well in Treb ville.
