Originally posted by ANDROIDISM View PostAbsolutely it is. Rooting takes you to a whole new level with your phone.

You really don't have to root. Android gives you a great experience stock, but if you want to go above all that then you root.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for samsung to update your phone. It took them forever to update their phones to ICS. If you wan't JellyBean go root your phone and get it!Last edited by PACnPBFsuck; 08-11-2012, 09:05 PM.

Do you have unlimited data with Verizon still?

Originally posted by Thank Me Later View PostYou need clockworkmod recovery. On Motorola they use bootstrap or safestrap. You can NOT flash roms in stock recovery. But I know for sure you can side load official leaks in stock recovery because that's how I got the official ICS OTA on my Razr Maxx. And no I don't NOT have unlimited data. I got on Verizon when they had the 4GB for $30 deal.
I know Motorola locked the bootloader on you guys, so I know it's a hassle when trying to root and install CMW.
Only reason I ask is because Verizon is doing some sneaky shyt right now, I was gonna warn you before you upgraded, they're kicking people off the unlimited plan.

I'm hoping the rumors of multiple Nexus' devices being made by different manufacturers to be sold through the play store are true, and I REALLY hope they are cdma (Verizon) compatible. Although I don't have my hopes up for the last part lol.
The galaxy nexus is only $350 from Google right now.
