I've been addicted to a lot of stuff thru the years: fast cars, faster motorcycles, fast bass boats, fast women (well this one should have been first), fast computers, fast fly rods (starting to see a pattern?) and now fast phones. You're not saying there's anything wrong with this are you? :icon_ banana:
My moto has always been, "anything worth doing is worth over doing".
Not at all. My complaint is not with rooting or people who root their phones or hacking anything or trying to make the phone better suited to your needs.
My complaint is with people who've done it and try to convince EVERYONE else to do it.
YES, it does offer VERY enhanced customization and options.
But NO, I don't think it's for everyone.
There are enough threads on here about rooting and the benefits and what people have done that you don't have to go around suggesting to everyone who posts an issue that they root their phone.
I hadn't had this phone for a week before I had my first encounter with the concept of rooting and read up on it.
If someone wants to do it, they will. There are also plenty of posts explaining that.
If they're not sure, then they really probably don't NEED to do it to be happy with the phone's capabilities.
I still may root MY phone. I really don't have a problem with it coming from the G1 that I thought would be more like the Droid stock, and taking a detour to an LG Triton that was a big steaming pile of s*** compared to an Android phone.
That doesn't mean I'd suggest it for every Tom, Dick, and Harry that I see post a tiny little issue on this forum.
