After having read a little I'm not sure what the practical benefit is of rooting. There seems to be always the potential for gremlins. Sure you can remove some bloat but is that more an annoyance than a problem. Have had my N2 for almost a month and have never had to pull battery. In fact, with extended battery I go days before even needing to recharge. Today, for instance, I went 24 hours before I got to 80% left and this is with my smaller extended battery. One day I will test my bigger big battery and am shooting for several days if not almost a week. Admittedly I don't do movies, or streaming or stuff like that, and use conservation techniques such as no wall paper, auto light, whatever else I can do to minimize drain.
