To root... or not to root

[Ryandroid86]

That is the question
I am starting to get tired on my One S. I want to believe that HTC will update, fixing all these dumb issues that shouldnt exist in a new (high-end) phone.

But Im very impatient. I want a phone to work right, debating if I should just Root the phone and try a ROM by some developer. The only thing holding me back is there are no stable, or finalized ROMs with no issues. So Im stuck between a rock and hard place.

Anyone else getting tired of sense 4.0? and all these other issues?

Yes.

Yes.

And yes.

I'm also tired enough of T-Mobile I'm willing to pay a $200 dollar early termination fee.

Got the sim unlocked today, switching to ATT tomorrow.

Then I'm going to pay someone to root the One S and install Jelly Bean,

since there will be no hope of an update after leaving TMo.

well.... they have a (almost) stable ICS ROM but not Jellybean. I know they have been working on it though.

I believe some developers have already ported jellybean to the One S, but.... lots of issues. Im going to suck it up for now (considering, i cant afford that cancellation fee) and wait for a nice ROM.

Also save your money.... Rooting isnt as scary as it sounds. if you do your research, you should be fine (but im not responsible) haha

that is really a question, I think you do not need to root, after rooting, you will meet a lot of problems, the most obvious one is that the battery, you will find that the battery can hardly last one day.

S-off is taking ages. Just root and install a custom ROM. It won't hurt.

Had the same problem with my captivate. It got old fast. So me being semi-pro technologically smart. I rooted. Rooting I must say is the easy part. It took me a few weeks to get the man courage to install Teamhacksung ICS ROM. If you're new to Android freedom, head to xda forums. They got stuff from the S III to installing android to a game boy(exaggeration). Seriously though, idiot-proof tutorials.

P.s. I've bricked my phone twice. And I've brought her back both times, so if you mess up, retry.

I rooted, and there is a few really stable roms, if you want to stick with sense Trickdroids rom is amazing, and @djhgdfhg the battery life is insane! I am too much in love with the sense camera even if Im not in love with all of sense, so I have been using MIUI official sense based rom, it is great, retains sense as the base so I keep the camera but then it has the look and feel of MIUI! And I was worried alittle at first but there is an all in one tool kit on the one s xda thread that works wonders for the noobish. Happy flashing!

soo... I decided to root my phone, and I dont regret it. Im currently running Trickdroid 7.1 and all I have to say is wow. its ten times smoother than before. and I now Im running android messaging, (not sense.... which i hated) as soon as they release a more stable CM10... I will be running JB
