[Nexus 10 General] TheEmpyre:
From what I've gathered, and from experience, I think the benefits of Root give the user a great deal more control of what goes on with his/her device -- that is, in part, what apps are accessing resources. For example, with my HTC One XL, I was able to install an app (which requires root access) that allows me to freeze apps while they are not in use -- launch them to unfreeze and use them when I need but when I'm not using, they aren't going to automatically run processes that drain my battery. I also installed a custom Kernel, and there is a root-required app that allows me to adjust my CPU frequencies and voltages to maximize battery life and performance.

I am relatively new to rooting devices, as I started in late October, but I can tell you that I have had a ton of fun doing it.

In any event, I really dont think rooting is that valuable to mainstream users if you ask me -- If you aren't looking into flashing custom ROMs or using special utilities/apps on your device then I wouldn't bother rooting/unlocking bootloader.

Since you asked risks I'll address that too: The risks are bricking (completely unusable) your device if you flash an incompatible ROM, but this is easily avoided by sticking only to flashing ROMs for the Nexus 10. You can also damage the components of your device if you overclock too much etc....Other risks are that ROMs are buggy sometimes despite the very hard work of the devs here (They are truly amazing here) but the bugs may take away from your experience potentially. There may be plenty of other risks but these are the ones I can think of so far.

I was completely unaware of root/unlock up until about 2 months ago and was completely new to the process. I was able to read great guides put together by the XDA community here that walked me through the process and I was successful in unlocking my One X and I now finally feel like I am getting the moneys worth out of my device that I payed good $$$ for.
[Nexus 10 General] xIC-MACIx:
Rooting is quick and painless if you use the Nexus 10 Toolkit available in the development section! My Galaxy Nexus also has a toolkit from the same dev, makes things SO much easier/quicker.

The risks of rooting are almost non-existent. Really, if the procedure doesn't work for you, nothing changes & you just won't have root permissions. I've personally never had anything bad happen, but I'm sure there is someone out there who has tried some sketchy method to root...the methods here are far from that, just read up and follow the instructions.

Benefits are basically the freedom to remove system apps and make backups of any of your apps. There are also a ton of root apps that allow you to customize your device the way you like it. With root, you get full control and the freedom to tinker.

Nexus devices are absolutley meant for consumers who don't root or unlock, but what is great about them is if you want to do either of the latter..it is much easier to do.

Also, I suggest you try and personally compare your N10 and Infinity before you read any of the general comparison threads. lol

Oh and welcome to the vanilla side of Android! :good:

[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
Toolkits are a nice method for rooting for beginners, but (imo) it's better to learn how to flash (and do generally other stuff) without the need of a toolkit.

When I rooted my Nexus 10, I just unlocked the bootloader (manually with fastboot), restocked, installed custom recovery (TWRP; fastboot) and then flashed a SuperSU CWM-flashable package from recovery. I did a lot of messing around with flashing and stuff on my SGT7 and Nexus 7, so this wasn't really anything new or difficult at all. I started out with a toolkit on my Nexus 7, and found it very annoying after a while when trying to flash a custom recovery (generally took a while for the device to end up having to reboot and unlock, and if I already did unlock then I think the toolkit wouldn't continue on unless I selected another option, and then if drivers aren't installed properly (I switched between a few devices) then that can also cause the toolkit to mess up, drivers and adb would be outdated from the toolkit in-comparison to what Google offered, etc.).

Simply put, Toolkits might be nice in the beginning, but I wouldn't recommend relying on them forever :) If your only mission is to just root the device though, a toolkit can do that pretty painlessly.
[Nexus 10 General] xIC-MACIx:
Absolutely agree with you on that one. My first Android device was a Infuse 4G. Every root and recovery procedure was absolutely manual. Not to mention most of the methods were hackjobs from the OG Galaxy S and required some extra coersing w/ Root Explorer and a terminal lol. Once I got my GNex, I could do anything I needed to do manually; I was actually rather shocked at how simple things were w/ a Nexus device.

Really though, I don't at all mind these toolkits, it might be important to learn what goes on behind the scripts, but lots of ppl here would have never attempted to tinker w/ android w/o some sort of script/batch automation. That said, i'm sure they cause quite a bit more traffic in the Q&A section when things to go wrong. lol
[Nexus 10 General] stormricker:
Thanks for all of the replies.

It should arrive today and I'll compare it with my Infinity first and then go from there.

Looking forward to know the N10

i'm running 4.1.

and since a few days ago, my nexus is saying the update is ready and i should update.. i guess it's 4.2?

anyway, last time i updated like this, i lost my root..

so what's the easiest way to accept this system update but still keep my root?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
The easiest way is just to flash a rooted stock 4.2 ROM. I don't know why people are so dependent on OTA when they're XDA members...

Install an ap called "OTA rootkeeper" by Voodoo, run it and give it root permissions.

Then it'll do what it says (I last used it on a GN about the 4.0.1 update, should still work though).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I tried this process earlier today, i mean, JOP40C -> JOP40D through OTA, worked fine..

Rooted it in like 1 min. Still got the stock recovery on too. To an unlocked user, i don't see the point of protecting root with app X or Y.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slattery69:
agree with others just flash a rom which is 4.2 there are a few in the developers section which are pure 4.2 or look at rasbeanjelly which is pure 4.2 with a few nice tweaks.

The custom roms are often ahead of the google ones they had the date fixed in the contacts app before google pushed a fix

Hi Mauro,

yesterday I tried this rom, but unluckily browser (I used stock and Dolphin) were closing unexpectly. For example they were able to show Facebook login page, but once logged in Facebook they simply closed themself, bringing me to launcher home.

It's strange that the behaviour was same on both browsers.

Could it be something related to memory managment?

Anyway great job,

Francesco
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mauronofrio:
if you look at first post i write "if facebook not work delete this file from system/lib", then i post new rom with fb fix
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FeWoR:
Mauro,

you wrote "if facebook app not work delete this file from system/lib", for this I thought that issue was related to the facebook app, not to facebook website, And so I didn't try that fix.

But random browser closures (I repeat, not only the stock one, but also Dolphin) are present not only to facebook site, but also to other sites. For example I was trying to download another rom (pika10), and also in that site browsers were closing unexpectedly.

Have you no random browser closures?

Thanks,

FeW
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mauronofrio:

I hate to break the news but gps issues, at least for me, were not ROM related. Sometimes it seems that they have more to do with hardware than the ROM you choose. I use Synergy and I absolutely love it so I recommend that you flash it and stick with it. However, If you do still have gps issues try this link and read ALL of the OP. I did and I no longer have any issues. 5 seconds and I'm locked everytime!

This is a mix of two ROMS, CyanogenMod 6.1 for HTC Wilfire and SmartLucky 3.0.

Well, this is because I think that a Froyo ROM will be more stable than any other android version rom (GB is good too, but there are already many custom roms with it). So I hope Froyo works good :)
