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.

No reason. I couldn't even come up with a compelling reason to root my Nexus S.

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 why didnt he say so

sorry realised that after the first reply.
i reposted this in the Q&A section my bad new here and i didnt mean to put it in general. but yes anyone who would like to answer this please reply in the Q&A section

N64oid works reasonably well. force GPU rendering in dev>settings. it might not actually help. but it seemed to for me.
also, be sure to clear out your recently running tasks. super smash bros is a bit laggy unless you do these things.

FPse and gameboid are working just fine for me. Are you downloading the files you need to get each emulator up and running?

Just played Chrono Trigger on SNESoid

Anyone try Chainfire3D yet?

I see; alright. Thanks.

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)

I know I know, I knew I would get looked at weird. Everyone is thinking "If you wanted this you shouldn't have bought a Nexus phone" Well I like change and stock just gets old really fast. I love how touchwiz jelly bean looks and all the features are, and I have already put my phone up for trade for an SGS3 on craigslist and haven't gotten a reply yet. So far I have been offered 2 epic 4g touches, 2 htc evo 3d's, and an iphone 4. So not much.

Well you're gonna have to get a SGSIII. I don't ever see it being ported here. People buy the Nexus to get away from TouchWiz.

No ports. Only one add-on

Unfortunately no since both of the other Tab 3 variants use different CPUs. Think at this point it may be some time before anything gets going on the 10.1. I'm not really sure what the stigma is here it seems to be a pretty good performing tablet would be nice to have root to remove the bloatware and make better.

I don't think that it's necessarily a dead device just need someone to actually take a look at it instead of believing that theirs nothing good about it. From what I've seen so far it seems to have good battery life and not half bad in performance either and contrary to what I've seen in the reviews the GFX performance it actually also very good as well it beats my TF700 pretty solidly though resolution may be a factor there.

Thanks for taking the initiative on rooting the 10.1. I've had one for quite some time and can't wait until rooting and roms can start coming in. Too many samsung features that are awesome, but I personally dont need taking resources and would like to remove.

Good afternoon.

Really looking forward method to obtain root ...
Build number JDQ39.P5200XXUAMFC

Development will start on 10'1
Im working also on stock rooted rom, and trying to get a recovery as well.
I don't have the device yet, so if you have it, and gained root... I would like some files:
recovery.fstab
graphics.c
postrecoveryboot.sh
If someone is able to get those after you have root, and get them to me... a CWM recovery is on the way
