Re: ROOT: Pros&Cons. (Experiences only)

does home manager only work with root mate?
noticed TW launcher cant be disabled in app list

global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or stupid) guess

Home Manager does not require root. Simply install, long press tw launcher and select kill. Easy peazy!

I had read in the forums about the S3 not being able to sync so I didn't want to answer off a guess!!

As to my current knowledge there is no current way to root the GS3 with a Mac. You would need to use the root utility that roots the device from your device.

do you have a link to the method of rooting without a computer pal? (thats how i did my Zte Blade, legendary phone)
im really bad with computers.
is this method more risky?
thanks

On the global device I will have to do some digging and see if I can use the same method, I know the non-computer methods works on the Verizon model.

I have a question that involves rooting. Can you root an Android phone, using a MacBook Pro? I will be upgrading my HTC Vivid to a SGS3, but have been told by some, that i need to use a PC. Any help with this question, would be greatly appreciated.

Section 1 of this guide.

[GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to root your Galaxy SIII & More!(ROMs/CWM/Stock) - xda-developers

Full disclaimer, I rooted with a PC. So I have no idea how it goes with a Mac.

Yes you can but you can't use Odin. There is an Odin replacement for the Mac called Heimdall. Don't ask me how it's done though.
