Hello,
I don't know if you can talk about rooting here or not -- this is more about the perks of rooting then how to though...
I have not rooted a phone since the Galaxy Nexus....
Back then I could still receive OTAs but it looks like this has changed? I am receiving my nexus 6P today and am wondering if I should root or not?
The main reason I rooted before was to get tethering... I've used Foxfi on my Note3 (current phone) for that and only use it sporadically since I am always around wifi unless going on a road trip. I do also have unlimited data on Verizon so I should stick it to them as long as I can though... ;p
So my questions...
1. Do I have to re-root and install images manually now instead of getting OTAs
2. Does the re-root process mean I have to re-configure everything? -- Do I lose any data?
3. What are some of the main reasons for rooting now?
4. Does Google handle the OTAs or does it still go through Verizon meaning I still have to wait forever to get them?
Thanks!
