The most commonly not asked question when it comes to rooting, is why are you rooting your device? If you do not know the answer to this then you might be better of not rooting your Android device. If you are rooting your device due to lack of certain functionality and or maybe an application in particular that requires root to function, one you cannot live without. For me it mostly boils down to customization and being a power user. I like to have complete control over the devices that I purchase, with that comes a certain comfort zone that I like to operate inside of. If I cannot run certain things or execute certain tasks due to a lack of control I tend to get very frustrated and embark on personal crusades to unlock said device.
