Any Reason To Root?

Can anyone give me some inspiration into rooting my new shinny GN i have rooted every other devive ive had i.e G1 Nexus One SGS I9000 xperia Play and HTC hero,
But i cant find a good enough reason to do it with this device, but everyday i feel that i need to i dont know if im just because im used to having something new to flash everyday?
What do you think guys?

I feel the same way. The stock ICS seems to be a lot faster than the MCR's at the moment - not sure why.
The only reason to root is to get things such as Ad Free, Full Backups, Underclock CPU when screen off, Apply Paul's UI tweaks.
Obviously things will grow in the future. If you do it now, then you dont risk the chance of losing the ability to in the future (doubtful that will ever happen with a Nexus)

Here's a much better question OP... Any reason to not root it?

The big ones for me are AdFree and Titanium Backup.

To improve battery life.

This is the first Android OS where it seem so much useable and stable, that I see no use to root. This coming from a primarily IOS guy. I hope I don't have to root.

also, tethering on tmobile

by rooting?

Reason #1: to customize the device by playing with the system files

I will need to root my Galaxy Nexus (when I get one) so I can connect my PS3 controller up and play emulator games.

Is it possible to connect a PS3 controller and play games with current devices today? If yes, could you point me to the application

I will only root if a kernel with ridiculous battery life surfaces. Otherwise this may be the first Android phone I really see no reason rooting. Strange thought.

If you are here, you should root. Ad free and Titanium back up are worth it by themselves.

AdFree is pretty silly IMO. Blocking connections using the host file? Really? I guess the creators don't know what a firewall is or how to use iptables.

well i have a problem with this game, I bought this game yesterday from the google play installead the app and when opened the game does not work tells me that my device is not compatible ... the messange said something like "your device is not campatible we send this report to our coustom service, try to install the date in 48 hours" but i prefer to take my reimbursement ... is this game working ok or not? sorry for my poor english.

You could try editing your build.prop to "fake" your device as an A500.

yeah ... I HEARD ABOUT THAT but tbh i dont wanna move anything ... actually im really enjoying stock ICS ... my tab its not even rooted lol but thx for the answer

I can't get it to load the data either. I have been back and forth with their CS for nearly 2 weeks now and haven't heard anything for about a week now, I don't think they know what's going on. I am also unrooted stock ICS.
Stay away from this game for now.

yeah ... looks like we need to wait, stupid gameloft why did they put the game on our Compatibility List if thats not true ... well lets wait.

I'm running Order and Chaos just fine on my A100.
Really fun and very WoW like
My solution was kind of unorthadox in that I bought the game like you guys and then ran into issues..and ended up side-loading a modified apk that by-passes the device check.
Runs great.
PM me for any questions and I'll help you out.

Mine works perfectly.. even with gl to sd running it..

Nexus 7 Emulators

Like all else here I am egarly awaiting my tablet, but I have a question. I used to use all the oid emulators but they seem to have left the play store. Gameboid snesoid etc.. What emulators will yall be using with your nexus. Additionaly I can't wait to try the tablet remote app to use my Thunderbolt as a controller.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2

I'm hoping that ScummVM will work well with this. The current Android port is pretty impressive. I like hope in the Play store, you can get separate 'modules' depending on what game you run through it, which will save a little space...

I will still be using Gameboid, Gensoid etc. Most of his apps are at http://slideme.org/user/yongzh

Thanks for the link. His work is even so great I think ill pay for n64oid again. Too bad I can't use my credit on it but oh well.

Thanks for this guys.
Is there a PlayStation one though aside from FPSE? That one looks good but I would like to see alternatives to fpse.
But to be on topic I will use n64oid and which ever PlayStation one I think is best. Gotta get my Ocarina of time and final fantasy on

- Marvin ZX Spectrum Emulator (version 1.6 beta working great on v4.1 Jellybean).
- UAE4Droid (Amiga 500 emulator).

looking forward to try these emulators out.

This is great, I've been looking for a good n64 emulator for a while now. Does anybody have a site that is good for n64 roms in bulk and not just one by one? I have tons of SNES roms that I use on SNESdroid and works great but haven't had the best luck with n64.

The icing on the cake would be to run 'Shape shifter' ( a Mac emulator) on the N7 under UAE4Droid. I ran System 7 (faster than a real Mac could) on my Amy 3000. What an amazing machine it was.

Also, installing chainfire breaks your recovery which will require you to flash your recovery again.

Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies =/

yea I tried to install chainfire to play cod zombies and made my nexus not boot at all it just kept getting stuck on the "Google"screen. Zombies works on my 3d without chainfire so Im guessing qualcomm/adreno devices are the only one's supported right now.

I was just gonna try it...glad I didn't...thanks for the heads up!!

The app is not compatible with our device or Tegra 3 for that matter. I would advise people to stop trying their luck until the app is updated. Instead contact the developer and ask for support for tegra 3.

I think it's not updated to work with Jelly bean. It doesn't boot on my Kindle Fire either (running cm10)
