[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
I've had a droid eris back in the day and that practically required a custom Rom in order to run well...with the s3 which has better stats than some of the computers I work with...what IS the advantage of rooting or using a custom Rom? We can install apks from unknown sources without root(sadly my nook tablet had to be rooted to do that)...we can disable most if not all the bloatware without root...we have plenty of on board storage so no absolute need to delete even the bloatware....just curious as to why you do root? Is it just the "geek"thing to do? Is the battery life that much better? Can't see it being much faster...I do however appreciate all the work people are doing developing for this device as I believe it will extend its life...so without further ado give me your reasons why you root/custom Rom....specifically this device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] the entity:
I root to use ad free, titanium backup, some of the extra features in tasker and occasionally Wi-Fi tether. Roms also bring features that were left out such as a brightness slider in the notifications, jelly bean animations and further optimizations are usually included. Plus there are those countless mods and themes that take care of your minor annoyances, and set your color/icon preferences just right.

Overall it makes a great phone even better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twolfekc:
First of all this should be In q&a but besides that customs roms from this phone will 1. Get you better battery life 2. Give you features that are desired from other phones 3. Give more customization options to the user 4. Well I mean better performance but its already blazing fast so its not too noticeable:P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
Feel free to move this thread if it should be in q&a....and ty for the responses already:) I'm still debating on rooting/roming my phone(even though my nook tablet I rooted/cm9 installed it the moment I got it lol) she some reason I'm more cautious with this a device than any other but from what I've read and what you all have said the advantages of rooting and using a custom Rom still apply even for as beefy a device as the g3....maybe I'll get bored later and try it out...another ? that may have been answered..does the k exec kernel lock out one of the cores? Thought I saw someone say that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Haro912:
That picture is the main reason I root. Granted that is mostly standby but it is still amazing. I also like to use AdFree Android to get rid of any ads that may come up on my device. With this phone you mentioned it can't get much smoother and I agree. I am currently running a custom kernel with the Synergy ROM and I have my phone underclocked to 1.1GHz and it feels like it is still on stock because of what Synergy did to make the phone faster. Saves on battery A LOT in my opinion. If you are on the fence about rooting and ROMing I say go for it. The worst that will happen is you don't see the need and you Odin back to stock which will take you about 10 minutes. :laugh::cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
The rooting process for this phone is pain free and only takes a couple of minutes. At the very least, I would say root it and play around with some of the mods. I went about a week after I got my phone going stock/rooted and it was great, but Bean's Rom and Synergy are both fantastic.

And fwiw, kexec doesn't lock out a core.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
Originally, my sole reason for rooting was to get rid of that annoying Verizon wifi notification/add back the wifi toggle.

In the process, I discovered SynergyROM, which seems promising. It has lots of customization options, including being able to choose which toggle you have. Not to mention, it also boosts you data/wifi speeds and gives phenomenal battery life.

Honestly, if I were on AT&T or some other network that didn't have the BS wifi notification, I wouldn't even have bothered rooting until my second year into the device, like I did with my Droid Eris.

On a side note: whoohoo! Ex Droid Eris buddy! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mal001:
Actual Root

Are you referring to the work around root? And if so, will the work around yield the same results as having actually rooted the phone? I'm asking this cause I was under the impression Verizon still has the boot loader locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
The Bootloader is still locked but you don't need it unlocked to root. There are workarounds (Kexec) for flashing roms.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792342&
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Haro912:
You can flash Custom ROMs without kexec. You need to use kexec to flash custom kernels. Assuming you consider ROMs like synergy custom and don't only consider AOSP ROMs custom. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
True. But despite my poor wording the point was that the locked bootloader doesn't mean we can't flash roms :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Haro912:
Yeah I know I just didn't want someone thinking they had to understand kexec to flash a TW rom with the stock kernel. :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
To get rid of the 'ongoing' wifi notification and put back the wifi toggle back in there too. That was my sole reason and have actually been okay with touchwiz so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asmallchild:
I rooted to get root explorer

I would have left it alone but cut and paste self-corrupted and I needed root explorer to fix this

Since I was rooted anyway, I decided to install a rom to eliminate the wi fi notification too :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hitman3984:
I had my S3 all of a day before I got the root itch. And that was after having an original moto droid rooted for over 2+ years.

I just like knowing I have the extra control if I need it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
You can get rid of the wifi notification without rooting.*#6335623#

There, now no reason to root :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psycopanther:
My BIGGEST reason for rooting is because of updates. Anyone notice how the phones from the manufacturers just keep coming out back to back? I am tired of the fact that i can go buy a new just released phone, and before the first year is out, it seems the manufacturer quits updating the software. for example, if ICS came with the phone, unless it is the flagship phone, majority of the phones will not see a JB version. Even if the phone has not even been out for a year ( still under the 1 year warranty). this to me is BS, i think that they should be required to update all the software (assuming the HW can handle it) at least during the warranty period. they seem to just want you to buy a new phone to get the software. Rooting usually allows me to have access to the tools to update the phone myself through another Rom. I also like to have choices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] demarcmj:
That doesn't "get rid of" the wifi notification it disables it. It's still there, regardless of whether wifi is turned on or off, but now it just does nothing when you press on it. Personally, if it's going to be there either way, I'd rather it actually do something.

Getting to the original question:

Although I haven't rooted yet (I like to ride out my warranty first), here are the top reasons why I would do it:

- AdAway

- Titanium Backup

- Fully Functional Nova Launcher (read: widgets in drawer)

- ROMs & Mods

On my old Incredible, it was more for AdAway, Titianium, and other root-needing apps. Only later once ICS came out did I really dive into new ROMS.

This phone on the other hand, needs a new ROM right away! There are just too many things that piss me off about TouchWiz.

Things like:

- No Screenshot in Power Menu

- Toggles in notification pane not configurable

- Ongoing Wifi Notification instead of a Toggle

- No brightness slider in notification pane

- Manual arrangement of icons in a folder doesn't stick for more than a week

- App drawer icon isn't centered

- "Audio Applications" menu that shows up in notification pane when headphone are connected can't be configured to show apps I actually use

- No audio controls on lockscreen (standard lockscreen)

- Audio doesn't pause automatically when I unplug my headphones

- Audio sometimes starts up randomly when I plug in my headphones

- Audio volume steps down to ~85% when plugging in headphones

- Headphones/Speakers have separate volumes

And those are just the things that come to mind immediately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psycopanther:
these are good reasons. also i think it is now called adFree not adaway? unless we are speaking of two diff apps. anyways, basically consider Rooting as nothing more than removing the restrictions that verizon or any other carriers put on their devices that limit the full functionality of the phones potential. Verizon just happens to be the one that does not want you to do this (other carriers generally do not mind). verizons reason for this is simple, according to them , they would not be able to provide the high standard of customer support with rooted/ custom rom phones. i understand but this is just a nice way to put it making you think they are locking access (bootloader) for our benefit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] demarcmj:
I was in fact talking about two separate apps...

AdFree Android is more popular than AdAway just by virtue of the fact that it was first on the scene.. not because it's better in any way. AdFree is old... it's got an ugly as sin UI, a stupid, pixelated icon, and no real features to speak of. On top of all of the additional features that AdAway offers, it's much nicer to look at. It's clear than the author of AdAway actually read the Android design guide. AdAway is also open source and is updated much more frequently than AdFree, and it looks like the author put more than 30 seconds of time into his Play Store page (AdFree's screenshots are from Froyo, and there's no "Feature Graphic" or even a higher resolution version of the app icon. And AdFree's "Visit Developer's Website" link points to a 3.5 year-old XDA Forum for the HTC G1). AdFree may have more 5 star ratings, but that's just because it has more ratings in general... AdAway has a higher average rating and a higher percentage of 5 star ratings.

Honestly, I have no idea why people still use AdFree
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] somerandomguy1:
I rooted mainly for Titanium Backup. Gives me an easy way to reinstall apps if something happens to my phone or when I'm messing with other ROMs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrowa2:
I'm rooted mainly for the ability to remove verizon bloatware, backup, and tether wirelessly (I'm still on unlimited data so I don't thing the free tethering applies to me). Most of all, to flash debloated, streamlined, faster ROMS with better battery life. I'm waiting so patiently for the bootloader issue to be solved one way or another and for a version of MIUI to drop. Back on my old DInc, it was the best ROM I ever ran. On Thunderbolt, MIUI ROM was never fully functional. I hope this happens sometime before this phone's EOL. In the meantime, I'm happy just to optimize Touch Wiz as much as it can be optimized (not much)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pickle3782:
Could you please link me to the instructions to do this. I cant stand the wifi notification.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thebrink:
Several of my apps require root, and just general "cool stuff" people develop usually need root.

OpenVPN (there's an app that doesn't require it NOW - but it still only supports TUN mode, not TAP that I prefer)

Titanium backup - scheduled backups of my device.

screenshot - a lot of screen capturing programs require root, pretty sure there's a way to do it non root however.

SixAxis (pair a ps3 controller wiht your phone - can now be done on USB, but that's way less cool)

Piratebox/PAW - set up a anonymous "drop box" wifi app.

ip cam - turns your phone into an ip cam or way too sophisticated "cubicle mirror" (I mean the picture is on your computer...)

Most of this stuff is way too nerdy and impractical for the average person. The backup is the only somewhat practical one, but even that is nerdy, nobody "casual" takes backups of their phone every day/week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] strcdply:
I can attest to this as well. I gained about 5Mbs for my downloads speeds after going from stock to Synergy v1.7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ez2:
just the simplicity of backup/restore capabilities (nandroid and titanium backup pro) alone are reason enough to root.
