Is the question that my friend Jeff asked me. I have a few responses lined up, but I want to hear your guy's opinions. Then I can send him the link to this forum and have him read it.
Do you guys care to elaborate your answers?
1) Remove useless bloatware
2) Speed up/optimize the phone
3) Create full system images for restoration if necessary
4) Titanium Backup
5) Flash Custom Roms
6) Install Custom Kernels
7) Customize your phone to no end
8) ????
9) Profit
Tell him he'll get more chicks with a rooted phone. Chicks dig rooted phones.
lovin that gun, not gona get on ur bad side LOL
so many benefits, for those who don't know, have root access is like having Administrative access on your computer so it allows you to do certain things that you wouldn't be able to out of the box. here's a video to check out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LaNara54r8
it's always good to go to the forum of your phone and see for your self, check out all the sections, see how's out there.
i personally have never used a phone all stock, there's always so many good things to do that improve the experience of the phone, however it's not all roses and butterflies, there are risks, probably not with rooting so much but when flashing roms or radios or things like that. so if this is something your friend wants to get into, he/she should take the time and get know everything.
good luck
It makes your phone suck water from the ground and its hard to pull the roots out once in?

True enough but he doesn't know what Titanium Backup is nor what Flashing roms is all about.... He's a virgin at this so the answer would have to be more in depth.
Customize your phone to no end sounds about right Plus longer battery life. So less charging!

GTR already has turbo and intercooler stock. Perhaps you meant GTR with massive custom twins, 3-row custom front mount, 4" downpipe, and a wee bit of NOS for those days you're feeling frisky.
Another benefit is getting the latest versions of Android before your manufacturer or carrier releases them, or of course even if the latest version never will be released for your device. You can even run ICS on a G1
Tbh, the Skyeocket is pretty great without root. The reason I did it was to get the leaked ics and remove the bloatware. Those are my main reasons.
No! You don't understand! Do not let your friend's phone be rooted! He will regret it... His soul will be sold to XDA... Please....

Why would you root someone else's phone if you can't even explain TO THEM WHY THEY SHOULD DO IT??
And given the issues you had in Amaze forum not knowing what hboot you needed for super CID, I recommend you do allot more research before becoming responsible for possibly damaging someone else's device.

Yes my bad.... I'm still learning all this car stuff.... forgive plz
Understanding that there will be bias here i will likely ask the same question in the one forums.
S4 or the one? and why?
I can't say either since I don't have.the one. Take this into consideration. Both phones only support 1900 lte. Sprint is turning on 800 and 2500 lte now. 800 will give you way better distance and penetration. Tri band lte phones coming. Other wise the s4 kicks ass. The battery last and its removable. The ones is not and its smaller.
Left HTC over a year ago, after owning each EVO from the very beginning. Would never look back. Plus, the community here is the best buncha guys I've worked with by far!

i love my S4 but i also love the htc one......there's perks to both and there's cons to both, personally i like the S4 because of the expandable memory and the removable battery, i like the htc one because of the solid build and the sense ui but that's just me.....i wish i would've waited for the note 3 but hey, i'm not complaining lol

Battery and SD on S4 sold me as well
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
User replaceable battery and SD card storage capabilities is why I like the s4. I've had problems with both HTC phones I've owned. On average, I've had less problems with Samsung phones. HTC, in the news, seems to be struggling. Just my opinion.
Both phones are good. HTC one with those speakers, metal build. And that red color it came out in is amazing. The S4 with the camera, sd card, removable battery. With that being said, I've never used an HTC one for more than 40 seconds lol. So I can't tell you any experience of it. But the S4 has been good for me. The first phone I've owned that I haven't cared to put a custom rom on.
I'll never buy an HTC device again. I've personally had too many issues with their products in the past.
I own an S4 and I won a One (gave it to my wife).
Personally I don't want anything other than Samsung, but I admit the One is a great device. I'd say you should go with the Sammy based on my past experience. I've owned several without any issues. Had 2 Evo 3Ds with issues. That turned me off HTC.
If you root, I'd take a look at both development forums while deciding.

That's the other thing as well. Granted the S4,had some issues with root from the get go, but since the S3,its been super easy to root and unroot. HTC some makes some of the best hardware in this industry today, but I've just gotten super fend p with the software and such. Even tho, I haven't tried there latest with the One, I still don't plan on it. Only other device I wild turn to either than a Sammy, would be a Nexus, and that's it. Mostly for developing and Theming purposes. And for people thinking of moving from HTC to a Samsung, stay clear of some of the tech sites that knock on the S4. Take the 14 days that Sprint gives and test it out yourself. Cause I think most of the them are talking out of there arse

S4 on removable battery and microsd... been using TP2 on sero since 2009. If htc would made one with removable batt, microsd and world phone capability with sim card like TP2, I might hv stayed w them... but sadly, although the unibody of the one very aesthetic, it limited several features discussed all important to me... so now its S4.
I posted this over in the ROM threads. But look at these results.

I had the s4 but switched to the One. Iam really happy since switching bc to me the phone looks better, feels better and has less lag then the S4. Had to get the a replacement bc of a blown speaker but thats it so far.

Simple. Galaxy phones are built cheap.. this guy said this happened this morning when he got to work. It plugged it in and about 30 minutes later he noticed this. The charger he brought back is the one that came with the phone.
But like I said. We see this almost on a weekly basis. Just galaxy s3 and s4. Mostly s4. I've only had 2 with s3.

I also had a bunch of HTC's before going to the S4 when it came out. Thought they were good devices, until my wife got an S3 and I found out I was missing out. The Samsung's just work, and work well. The HTC's are quirky, don't pick up data signals as well, cameras have too much tint/over exposure, drop calls more, etc. I'm SO happy with the S4.
Nothing much in the forums about S4's melting. May be happening, but I can't believe it's a big issue at all or it'd be all over the place.
I owned the HTC one for about 2 months and just recently came over to the GS4. I actually like the GS4 better than I like the one. Both are great phones but battery life seems to be better on the GS4 and I just like the look of the GS4. I always use a case on my phones. So build materials mean nothing to me. Also beats is gimmicky IMHO without root and V4A the one seemed to always have distorted bass on certain songs when listening to music with ear buds. This device with moderate sound increase with V4A blows the one out in quality for sound just my 2 cents. I happy I switched.

Have a great day!
Just posting a farewell thread folks, ordered a white Nexus 5 32gb 399.99 from Google Play on Friday it got here today, Monday. I activated it over the phone with Sprint in under 5 minutes and threw the sim card from HTC one into the Nexus 5. Boom, instantly works beautifully. I am getting LTE so much more then I got with the HTC one I am barely ever on 3g anymore! Also everyone used to complain to me about call quality on the One, this problem is now gone no one complains anymore. The only thing I miss are the speakers, everything else is better in every way. I use a portable 30 ish dollar bluetooth speaker every once and a while when I care enough to grab it. Snapdragon 800 is amazing and the 8mp camera is better then htc 4mp "ultrapixel" bogus. The HTC one was nice for a while but this phone is an upgrade for me. Going to go sell my HTC one on craigslist or ebay for 350 now. Goodbye everyone! try to enjoy your htc ones!

Lol. Why are you posting a farewell? Honestly, unless you're a developer, I doubt anyone really cares... I switched to the Nexus 5 as well, and agree with you on pretty much everything. I just don't see a reason to tell everyone about it because I don't develop or theme or anything so it hardly matters. I'm still keeping my One anyway, just in case...

Fair, on average about 700 to 800 points higher on Quadrant than the old phone, although keep in mind much of the Exhibit's score revolved around very high I/O readings. With a normal I/O score, the Exhibit would be about 1000-1200 points lower. You can look at the attached screenshots to see what I mean. The Exhibit is on the left, S2 on the right.
Some folks over there posted very exaggerated scores of over 4000 which they got with TW ROMs that had 2Ghz OC and probably used V/R for I/O.

Oh very true, I have no illusions about the hardware on this device. It's as old as the Exhibit, in fact. It does have sufficient hardware for what I need however. The Exhibit is just so limited on CPU and RAM it drove me crazy when I used it. I learned you couldn't make a Kia a Jaguar with it basically, no matter how hard I tried. The S2 crushes it, but let's all face it, that's not saying much.

I take it you mean the Light, cause we know the Exhibit isn't doing those kinds of numbers! Hey the Light has much better hardware than the S2, no question. However I didn't want it without root. I won't have any phone that I can't do what I want to do with it. Getting rid of bloat for starters. If your device gets a work around for the bootloader and some established devs get involved, there are some very nice possibilities in store.

We have root cwm TWRP debloated stock. And a stock based rom. Like peach sunrise was in the beginning. Its called Lightwave. Decent. But not perfect. A few devs are trying for a CM11. One just posted a progress report. I would tag him but his name is hard to tag (@ root @ ) no spaces. And no parenthesis.
I have been working on porting stuff. Gotten pretty good thnx to the exhibit being free to do what I want. I have been using it to fine tune my porting capabilities. The tool I use to use never was quite right..... so anyways. How are things on your side of the tracks?

I wish I could tell you they were good, but not really. The S2 has been a miserable failure from almost month one. I honestly hate it almost as much as I did the Exhibit. ROM after ROM has failed to fully deliver the goods, mainly due to the dated hardware this thing has. I really goofed on this purchase. Every time I think I have the perfect setup, it bombs later. That story sounds familiar doesn't it? Right now I am running PA on it and thanks to the latest Fly On Mod Alpha 3 it's a fairly decent setup for now. I'd like to quit on this thing and wait until the next phone to start ROM flashing again. You can't make a Honda run like a Porsche, bottom line. BTW this is the last Samsung I will EVER buy again! EVER!
On the Galaxy Light, one of the people at work bought one and no offense, I wasn't impressed. Only a few days after she had it, she was asking what was causing some of the FCs she was getting. The thing was lagging and it wasn't until I put Nova launcher on it some of the lag went away. Just another Samsung hunk of junk IMO. But if you are still loving it, I am happy for you at least. Development is not going to really go anywhere on it, at least where you will get official support. Samsung has already moved on to the Avant. Let's be honest. We both need to get a 1+1 or Nexus to really have a phone that delivers. I plan on it soon too. Also good on you for expanding your skills. I made a port for the S2 but it had some bugs. This stuff just consumes too much time too.
Good to hear from you bro BTW. Good old Rebel ROM, it really was one of the good ones for the Exhibit. At least I have learned a lot here.

Hey, AD. Good to hear from you, again. Sad news about the S2. My Light was never a problem, and my wife still uses it. When i updated the rom, the phone lost root. It's easy enough to get it back, but my wife doesn't really care. The bloat is still gone, and now we have VoLTE. Pretty good swap. I've moved to a Nexus 5. It's not rooted, either (tried, using the Nexus root kit, but it wasn't working. I think i messed up getting the correct driver), but again, no bloat so no worries. With a 32gb internal drive, I'll never have storage problems. It's taking some time to get used to the size, but that's not a big deal. There are certainly lots of roms available, should i choose to go that route.
Again, good to see you again.

Well, @aSuperSaiyanG0D and I decided it'd be a good idea to bring an OT thread to the forums
So I'll keep things short and simple to start with. This thread is not for discussing issues with phones or anything, it's for the the exact opposite.
What are everyone's thoughts on the iPhone 6?
When do you think Android L will release?
Anybody pick up Destiny since it released?
All I have to say bout iPhone 6....

I literally just showed that to my sister and she said, "I don't care how great an Android is, I'll always want an iPhone."
It's a social symbol these days. And I guess in our society our value is what others perceive of us. So yeah, people are going to keep buying those things. Breaks my heart.
Although I will say, the slow motion video could be kind of cool. Not that I'd see myself using it.
The only thing bout iOS that I'll admit is kinda nice, is when you jailbreak, and something screws up, it's very very hard to brick it. Just use iTunes and you can just restore it.
But then again, that would be to easy huh? Cx
Haha, I can't count how many times I've restored my phones via KDZ flashes... Nearing a hundred I assume lol.
Wow look apple made the iPhone 6 bigger and faster never saw that coming. Not really ground breaking stuff
I think that ios8 is a nice update for the ifags.
Has is some cool stuff, all things android has had for awhile.
But I still wouldn't buy a iPhone. In my opinion iPhone are the Nokia of the 90s, generic as [email protected]#k.
Really looking forward to see what android brings with its android L release.
The Sony xperia z2 has slow motion camera too

You hit the nail on the head. It's a status thing. Most people spend way too much time worrying about what others think of them. This distorts their own perception of themselves. I figured out early in life, as a teenager, that it really doesn't matter to me what others think of me. I am who I am the way I am.
On another note... CM11 currently building and I am waaayyy past where I was getting errors earlier. No longer using CAF kernel. Switched to LGs kernel base instead, for the time being anyways. Having to do a fresh build so it won't finish til @ 0400 EST.
Since we are of topic friends of mine are doing a media project
It's low grade comedy but it's funny
The goal is a million views.

Exactly how I feel, too! I'd rather gauge out my eyeballs and pull out my fingernails than "fit in". All that leads to is either hating or being hated. Life's way too short to worry about what the popular girl or guy at school is wearing or using.
I'm pretty much of a misfit anyway so there's no way I'll be able to fit in even if I tried. Hahaha.

Thats right. Its not about fitting in, its about being you

Before owning this phone I just wrote off LG as a Samsung copy cat. Considering how similar the UI and features they share. After owning this phone I have come to the conclusion that LG UI(whatever they call their UI) is touchwiz done right. Much like how I feel about MIUI iOS done right as well...still can't wait until more AOSP roms are present. Hoping this unreal price attracts devs to tinker with it

I agree and am grateful for all the work you and other devs do. Any plans on doing a ROM based off of LG stock ROM like HTC and Samsung has? Not a request nor trying to sound pushy just curious
