Hey,
I always went with Google branded phones so far for a simple reason - they get an update asap.
Therefore I'm not very knowledgable about rooting phones because I never really needed it.
Can somebody tell me what rooting really is; is it gonna allow me to install the newest version of clear Android, meaning 4.1.2 with no carrier loaded crapware, etc ?
Also how difficult is it to root a phone and how risky is it to brick it?
I'm asking cuz I'm thinking of buying this phone if new Nexus doesn't appear at VZW....
