Anyway I have always wondered about rooting and what not but never looked into it a whole lot. What are the advantages or uses for doing so?
I don't see it being a pain. Updates? To what ROM nightlys? Must of been an old school gingerbread device. Android is far superior and just as stable as iOS.SONIC. said:I used to have an android, rooted and all that shit.
Pain the the ass.
Constant updates, fixes, crashes, shit.
Back then I thought it was fun, now a days I would throw it against a wall.
Stock iphone these days and perfectly happy with it. It calls, texts, gets online and has tapatalk. What else do I need?

I purchased the SGS1 two years after release, it was a good sale price, and the phone worked for two and a half years (4 year lifespan, technologically speaking), those being the first six months on stock rom and the subsequent time on slim, which revamped the phone to an extent that was certainly unparalleled performance compared to the stock rom.
Since then I've been using slim as my primary rom, as it's reliable, fast and shaved of all the bloatware that OEM roms have. I only flash stable releases as I only have the SGS3 at the moment and can't be messing with my DD. Another big plus about using slim, is the giant support network they have come to structure, which can save your assistance and money when you screw up things.
I want to hear more about that carbon rom, is there any features that could make me change my mind.?

Both tablet and iphone last all day. (when I ran a rooted samsung... the battery life was worse than the stock rom)
Assigning buttons sounds handy... I just don't understand how this is something you "heavily rely on"
Tasker is available without root on android.
Its just the "heavily rely on" comment that has me thrown off...

I do a lot of repairs on android devices too... for some reason I end up with a lot of botched root attempts.
