I'm happy with my inspire how it is but I've heard about this rooting and was wondering if its really going to make it better. Plus I like the stock Rom on it and wouldn't want to change that anythoughts anyone??
but are the custom roms that much better then the stock roms to root it
I've had my inspire since Mid Feb, and I still see no reason for me to root. It works just fine.
My battery life is OK (pretty much lasts all day), plus I have charging cables at work, home, cars, etc. Haven't had an issue yet.
Bloatware? It doesn't really affect me. I haven't had issues with running out of space, so it doesn't bother me what software is on my phone. I just don't use it if I don't need it.
Third party applications? I use the AC-SWM and sideload with no issues. I have the amazon app store, and other stuff I've sideloaded.
Also, one thing I seem to notice: If you look at the various Android phones, lots of people with phone issues seem to be the ones that have it rooted. I have no issues with my stock phone- everything works as was intended. No root, no problem.
i agree with everything except the bloatware. i hate seeing many apps i dont ever use. my list gets too big because of that
I use Go Launcher and use the app folder to put all my unwanted apps in a folder at the end. That way all the stuff I don't use is kept in a nice little icon at the end of my app drawer.
Launcher Pro also has the ability to hide apps from your app drawer.
Really?! That's pretty awesome to hear. So wait, I know this is a nooby question but what's this mean for us? >>Just read that AT&T will remove its third-party app store restrictions — allowing users to download applications hosted outside of the official Google Market

I'm a new android user over from apple iphone 4 which is literally a 2minute piece of cake process to jailbreak. I see the root is a lot more complex than the jailbreaking process of the iphone. I most definitely plan on rooting my inspire android but I just want to get a better understanding for the android operating system to increase my comfort in doing the root myself and knowing, in worst case scenario, out to fix any problems I may potentially run into doing the rooting process.
i have had my atrix since release day and haven't had an itch to root. heck, i never jailbroke my iPhone either. if i have to root a device for something i want/need, then that may not be the phone for me. i like phones that are awesome out the box. so when i get my inspire (hopefully by the weekend), i will probably root it, just to say i rooted it, but i may just go back to stock after trying CM on it like i did my nexus one.
