Using Root with Android

Lol, yes but "root" is not something that you put on your phone. "Rooting" your phone means gaining administrator access. It comes from Unix/Linux where the root user is the user that can change any files.

I meant rooting and I am aware what rooting is having used "Unix like" and Unix based OS for over two year now. But I hear a lot of good things and Bad things about rooting the phone especially when using some certain apps.

I guess what I meant to say is what is some of your experiences with rooting?
 
Haven't had any bad experiences, just good ones, like letting apps I want to use root phone functions, like changing cpu clock, more in depth customizing, custom roms, I dunno, just kinda allows for a bunch more customization.
 
I use a rooted phone. Upgraded it to 2.2 really and I have noticed and enormous increase in performance and no problems. All you do is gain admin access to your phones os the only thing i would say is that it voids the warranty and poss any insurance cover you may have.
So if it goes wrong un root it and put it back to the stock OS.
 
My co-worker rooted his phone (I think he has the Samsung Continuum) and he has issues where his phone won't hang up or his phone will freeze at random times.

I myself never rooted my Aria (Which I kind of regret after doing the ATT upgrade to Froyo).
 
I have rooted my Inspire and flashed the new MIUI rom and I must say that with MIUI and CPU Clock (Overclocking the phone's processor) my Inspire is now amazing. If you know what you're doing then root your phone. If you don't, well don't even take the chance. If you take that chance it might just become a hefty paperweight on your desk.
