Root Rooting the Samsung ADMIRE

A

Android Enthusiast
I tried the LG Connect and didn't feel that all the defects and crappy battery life were worth $350. Two of my friends like the Admire, then I heard about "rooting" which voids the warranty but supposedly makes the phone better and battery life longer. The Admire is only 60 dollars. The power button is in a better place, the screen is adequately bright, and it surfs.

Found this video:

QUESTIONS:

1. Should I root this phone ?

2. How to do it ?

3. Advantages ?

4. Disadvantages ?

5. How does the battery life of the ADMIRE compare to the Connect ?



Thank you !

rooting the phone will not improve battery life of a device a custom rom or kernel will though.

the advantages gives you super user privileges to the OS means you have the total control of files and can use root apps

disadvantages silly mistakes delete system files or flashing roms and not fully understanding the processes.
take the time to read and make sure you make the right choice
give roms a week to settle into the battery and for you to explore the features is my advice good luck to you.

Okay. If someone skilled in rooting and improving the Admire lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'd be delighted to pay for an in person lesson on rooting and improving the Admire phone. Send me a personal message.
