Root Root - Cons

[StyledFamous]

I've seen a lot of people talking about all the good things that come from rooting your phone. I was wondering if there are any cons to rooting... ?

You void your warrantee, in most cases. Easy enough to un-root and delete the app, or flash back to stock though, if you really needed to.

Honestly, I wouldn't even think about NOT rooting an android phone....it would be like riding a 3-legged horse otherwise.

Well, let's say you drive a mustang gt, maybe puts out 325 hp?? And you could change the software in it and then it would have 650 hp. Sounds great right! But would you recommend everyone to do it? I don't think so.

1. Many people have inadvertantly deleted important files from the stystem resulting in instability.

2. Many people do better in a locked down system so they don't hurt themselves. (ever own an Apple?) With root access a virus can infect your system files.

But for me the benefits far outweigh the negatives. I can tell you riding a bike is so much more fun when you take the training wheels off!
