Like I said before, I did it for those same 9 reasons too. 'Nuff said. ;)
And then there is the other side. Like myself. Phone does everything I need it to do and more,, I have all the apps I need,, and love the skins the way they are and feel no need to mess with anything.
Note 2, it's true, ,size is everything!
Those 9 reasons aren't really enough to make me Wanna root my phone guess I'll just leave it stock for now until I find a reason to root itQuote:

Then why ask if those 9 reasons are not enough to convince you to root? What more reasons do you want? LOL
Well for one all my past Android phones I did root but I just don't see a reason to root the note 2 don't need your sarcasm and I didn't ask you for those 9 reasons

No, but you did ask for "any" reason and he gave you 9. If you dont want to root then why create a forum topic about it?Quote:

He wanted to know reasons of why to root to see if there were any that would make him want to root. Just giving 9 reasons doesn't mean any apply to him to make him want to root.
If anyone gave him a reason that he thought he wanted he would root. That's the point of the topic.
My biggest reason... I like customization far beyond that which Google and Sprint allow me to.

If people really want to root then they should just Google rooting benefits. Its that simple.Quote:

So what's the point of a forum? Google is that simple, why not just Google everything? Shouldn't be a need for Android Central since Google exists. :)Quote:

There is probably more than 100 forum topics on this very site that will provide a multitude of reasons to root. A simple search would have given the results the user was looking for but instead he created ANOTHER post instead.Quote:

Btw the purpose of a forum is to ask a question that needs an answer that is hard to find through other means. Not to ask the same question over and without attempting to find the answer your self.

It doesnt bother me. Sometimes I feel like arguing. But truthfully if you feel like its not necessary to root the note 2 because it really is that good of a phone then why not create a post saying as much instead of going through this long process of getting people to give you reasons to do sonething you arent interested in doing anyways.Quote:

Used to root and jailbreak my devices. Now i feel the stocks are enough. Plus in android's case, i dont mind Touch Wiz with Nova Prime
I rooted my phone only so that I can use a foreign SIM when I travel to Europe this summer - which I may or may not end up doing. None of the reasons listed in the "9 reasons" blog is that compelling to me, personally - and you don't need to root in order to tether with FoxFi, which is great. I'll admit I feel more secure having backed up with Titanium Backup, though it takes a long time.
The reasons for rooting can change per phone and for various reasons over time.Quote:

Often it's interesting and raises different issues to approach the same question from different paths.Quote:

I think rooting and unlocking a phone are different. One of the people at my work has a Note 2 that is unlocked and not rooted. He is able to use a foreign SIM when he travels overseas. I use a Sprint phone, so I have to drag two phones with me when I travel. My Note 2 for Android and a unlocked Blackberry for calls and texts. I would verify that rooting allows you to use a SIM from a different company because I think you need to unlock the phone.Quote:

There are two kinds of unlocking and both are different from rooting. One unlock is a bootloader unlock that allows you to flash custom ROMs. The second unlock is a SIM unlock that allows you to use your SIM on carriers other than the one you bought the phone from. The Verizon Note 2 SIM is already unlocked. You can use voice on other CDMA carriers but you still need to update the APN database in the phone to have data access on those other carriers. DroidXcon has a guide here footer that.Quote:

Rooting gives you the highest level of access to and control over your phone. You need root privileges to unlock your bootloader and to update the internal APN database.
