Dear All,
One of our journalists is doing a story on 'How safe is rooting your android phone?
Depends on what you are rooting it with. In any case all of those crappy apps are actually official spyware. Someone has used the accelerometer and the gps in an iphone to locate a person walking in gps shadow areas.
Or is it worth rooting your android phone.
It is well worth the effort, considering that you can get rid of the garbage as well as gain access to apps that the service provider / phone maker may not want you to have.
Mods like cyanogen also helps in keeping the phone supported long after the oem has lost interest.
The downside is that you are likely to violate the terms of use and screw your warranty.
Would be great
if we get some great inputs from you on the same. Please let us have your your opinion/ views.
Regards,
Priyanka
