Root (Q) Rooting, is it worth it?

[mill3rkydd]

So I just got this phone yesterday and I LOVE IT!! Best phone ever. I did want to try avoiding root, but there are some things I like. For instance, Google Now, I don't mind the "Upgrading Applications" screen everytime I boot up. And another thing, I like the fact that most of the bloatware can be removed, but what about things like: Intonow, myMetro, Metro Total Protection, and Metro BlockIt? Should I just leave them disabled and forget about it or would rooting and removing them help? Thanks guys!

Just go ahead it won't be much of a hassle the only time consuming part is rooting it itself & that only takes maybe 5 minutes, the upgrading applications screen just adds like 5 seconds just keep the bloatware disabled & when you root there's more bloat you can disable, with root you can also under clock your phone so when your not using it you can save battery life

I just went ahead and rooted it. I love using Google now, and I'm glad I got some useless things off. Thanks guys!

Use titanium back up for all your root needs... freeze apps, convert to system app etc

Don't use it to integrate updates into the ROM or uninstall certain system apps.

I would say that Titanium backup is one of the best reasons to root. If any app sends out an update you don't like, a backup with Titanium will allow you to revert to your old version.
