To Root, or Not To Root.... That is the Question

[Issemann]

I normally like to root my devices just to get rid of the bloatware. But I already got rid of a lot of AT&T's bloatware by simply disabling them from the Apps menu. Another good reason to root is to use apps like Titanium Backup. But Helium looks like a pretty good alternative without rooting.

Besides flashing new ROM's, is there any other reason to root the HTC One?

Adding menu to the back button to get rid of that stupid black bar on some apps and waking up screen with home button [KERNEL|12|05|13][teaMSeven|V.4[2GHz|VC|BLINKBUTTONS|H2W|LINARO-o3|FULL-OTG] - xda-developers
Also, the ability to turn on quick charge (so I've heard) is available when rooting.

These are just a few things.

I am sketchy on rooting a device without an sd card. Like yourself I usually root to tether and remove bloatware. roms and OC kernel are just a plus. The Tmo HTC one is fairly light on bloat and sense 5 is fast and minimal and built in tethering. I don't have any reason to root atm. I will likely pick up the S4 google edition to play with roms though.
