Lmaooooooo. Bro, root your phone so you can truly OWN it. its a choice tho.

if you're the geeky type ( like me) that like to make android to what they weren't originally made to do, then root it.

But if you're chat, browser and play games type then don't root.

Note: Rooting your phone voids your warranty.

Gracias.

It is very safe and advisable to root your fone...

Apart from having the maximum value for ur money with lots of possibilities u can't imagine..

U can do a fone backup if your fone is rooted so that some "innocent" apps won't brick the fone along the way..

I will advise u to root it..

Pros more than the cons

That's why the first thing you should do after rooting is flash a custom recovery and backup your rom

U can easily discern an ordinary word from a word in quote..

My "innocent" was in quotation marks.. Meaning they are not what they seems to be..

Notable apps are ifont.. Chain fire 3D etc..

Best of luck..

If your phone is less than a year old model, there are no need to root it .
But any tablet or phablet more than a year, and stays unrooted is quite more of a pot of sour soup

the purposes of rooting are ephemeral.
fanboys will tell you, its for the best!
"it can make your phone fly! your phone will shoot laser beams!"
"it will unlock another dimension" blabla bla...
its a waste of time. ask the rooted users if they are ever contempt with the phone the way it is. its a drug like effect when they start adding and upgrading nonsense. your android will work at optimal level if you treat it as an android and not an iPhone or a computer. Lol.

If you don't know what is rooting then don't root your phone.
It is not an additional application that you install and start to explore the features, you root only when you know what you want to do.
It is a door that can take you to either heaven or hell depending on your knowledge
.
For me, I rooted my phone just to control the apps connecting to Internet (Droidwall), stopping unnecessary service (greenify) and removing annoying ads and limitations from sharewares (Lucky Patcher). Although most of this can be done in unrooted phones, it is more efficient when rooted.
I don't care much about ROM or font changes, they are unnecessary distractions
