I'm on my third Android phone and have never rooted one before. I'm wondering if it's worth it or not. I understand it's a very personal choice. Curious if some of you regret doing it and why?
Thanks!!!

4) when I rooted I wanted all apps in multiwindow without having to mod individual apk files.
However when you root the Note 2,
You lose Multi-Window,
You lose a lot of S-pen functionality,
You lose Samsungs 'Motion' controls,
You lose Samsungs Docking functionality,
You lose....A lot more software options that come with Touchwiz, which i can't be bothered listing.
I worded it wrongly, but yes, I was implying "when you root/ROM the Note 2". There is absolutely no reason to root your Android and not install a custom ROM. Not even for Titanium Backup. Carbon backup is fine.
I rooted my GS2 way back, and installed ICS stock Jellybean, which was great because it was on the lacklustre Gingerbread, and it significantly boosted the speed of the GS2. However the Note 2 absolutely flies no matter what, and is very up to date with 4.1.2 Jellybean, and hence there is much less reason to root/ROM, along with my aforementioned reasons.

I'm sorry if this is a bad thread to ask this help on but bsed on my research, the only folks dealing with this issue are those that have "rooted". !st, I have not yet, but would if it got me somethign I needed beyond what my stock device does, BUT, none-the-less I have a booting problem- last night phone was working fine, got up this morning, and it was dead, did nothing except the led was blinking blue and about a 2hz rate, pushed the buttoms to try to "wake it up" but nothing. aabout 20 minutes later I try it again, nothing, so I drop out the batery for a few minutes then reinstall, it just goes through the verizon welcome screen mpg then chimes and starts back over at the samsung screen and repeats, I can get to the "recovery screen" cleared the cache and rebooted- no resolution, trying to not haver to factory reset, hoping for suggestions...

And worst of all you risk losing your warranty and insurance. Though you can unroot it, there's a lot of other measures you have to take to ensure all traces are removed, as there has been a lot of cases where the carrier has found miniscule traces of rooting, and has denied warranty work.
