I had an OG Droid that I rooted and ROM'ed because it had serious performance issues if you didn't. But, so far, the only problems I have had with my Nexus is the occasional redraw and, of course, weak data signals.
So, assuming that I have no real desire to try out custom ROM's, what are the benefits with the Nexus of rooting? I know I can use Titanium and that is nice for backups. I don't want to overclock and there is no bloatware to get rid of, and the "tinker" factor does not really appeal to me anymore. And I already had a free wifi hotspot (another reason I loved root on my Droid).
But I am perfectly willing to root if there are specific useful things I can do. What are the highlights of rooting for the Nexus?
