Why Should I Root My Android Phone
- spyware rootkit from Carrier IQ
- phones infected
- iPhones
- Apple gives an easy way to turn off
- AT&T Android
- must root
- Sprint Android
- must root
- phones not infected
- Verizon
- Add by the carriers themselves to gather your data
- Nice discussion for June of this year as to why or why not to root an Android phone
- memory increase
- performance increase
- new Android versions
- Change home screen
- no-cost WiFi tethering
- To this I would add the above rootkits for the carriers
- what is rooting?
- installing a small Linux application called "su"
- allows applications and commands to run with elevated permissions
- using SuperUser Whitelist verifies that you want an app to run with the elevated privileges
- discussion for 5/25/2011 on how to root an nexus one
- some why discussion
- list of phones root instructions
- root access for Android 2.3.6 using SuperBoot
