Non rooters

[Legendary1982]

Wasn't this supposed to be a thread about people who aren't rooted?

yea, but us Rooters had to express our opinion

Root, you know you want to.

Root, you know you want to.

Actually, no, I don't: I have no need for tethering, don't want hokey themes, and see no use in pushing caches off to the SDcard. I have just over a dozen applications installed and the phone never lags. What exactly would I be gaining besides epenis bragging rights on a web forum?

I use to be rooted, not anymore. May root again (not exactly hard) but just can't be bothered at the moment

Well, for you, I agree -- rooting has little if any value because you don't need or want what root provides. I think that's exactly the point some of us are making.

If you don't need or want its benefits/features, then root < nonroot.


I do have to admit though... the Hero image I'm using doesn't support multimedia messaging. I can only send videos etc. if they're in an e-mail. So there are of course drawbacks to consider too... more than just speed or whatever.

If somone thinks that they are better or has a bigger ""epenis" because they are rooted, then, well, they are probably retarded. It don't take much to gain root. I dunno why you guys have that mentality. Only reason why I got root is cause I had some free time, and I wanted to play around with it. Frankly, thats one of the biggest reasons this phone is so awesome, and personally I think your missing out if you arent. I dont actually need tether, themes and all the rest either. But I do LIKE to have em though. Kinda like driving a Zonda F with 640 hp (yea I'm a real car nut, like to make car analogies ) even if you only use a max of 200 hp on the streets.

Have you compiled Android from the GIT sources yet? If not, why? You have the spare time, and it's the very definition of "playing around" with cutting edge stuff, so why not do it?

The Zonda pales in comparison to the Koenigsegg CCX, which hits the 0-62mph run .4 seconds quicker than the Zonda (and looks better doing so). Opting for the CCXR, one gets a biofueled monster with 1,000bhp and 780lb/ft of torque on tap.

Nah, man, easy listening is where it's at...
