Don't really know if this is in the right section or not but I own a Sprint galaxy s3. I've heard about rooting and seen videos about it lots of times. I've also seen the latest Jelly bean 4.2 on the Nexus 4 and I thought that the pure jelly bean experience on google phones seemed much better. Touchwiz is a nice skin but I just like the feeling of pure jelly bean experience on a phone (no offense to Samsung's touchwiz)
So basically I want a pure Jelly bean on my galaxy s3 and I was just wondering if it's worth rooting it so I can install roms like CM10. It would be my first time rooting an android and I heard that it's pretty easy .to root, but as a beginner I just have a few questions:
If I root my s3...
1. Will it void my insurance with Sprint?
2. Am I still able to swtich back to touchwiz as my regular os (if I install CM10)
3. WIll it take away the features of a galaxy s3 for example: smart stay, palm screenshot, or other motion controls
4. Can it damage my phone?
5. Is it worth rooting?
Sorry about all the questions, I'm new to rooting and I plan to get into it more and what better way it is than to start now. Thanks in advance.
