Hello I am a new user of Sony and can toy yek me the safest and easiest method of root and also the best kernel and rom

Welcome to the forums!
Root with Easy Root.
Best rom is fluff and kernel is flaff.
I recommend Easy Root as well.
And as for ROMs and Kernels, just jump to those sections and flash your way through, discover, what is out there and find out, what you need
Btw, take a look into this threat, it is a quite perfect summary, of what you can do (root/unlocking bootloader/flashing and much more..).
Good Luck
Thanks all of you that helped

hi guys, i'm wondering about the Disadvantages of Rooting the specially G.nexus ?
thanks
If you know what you are doing or have the ability to read carefully... none, it's a amazing thing!!! Your phone will be a Lion among a herd of yaks.
If you do not posses either of those two things, it's scary bad. I'm not trying to be mean but thats the honest truth. I have rooted peoples phones for them and some left to their own devices have managed to make their phones slower and laggier than stock ever good be with many things not working or barely working. It's usually they skipped a step or changed a setting they shouldn't have.
Why the double thread?

Some people like stock devices.
1.) You'll never be happy with an unrooted phone ever again.
2.) Your friends will be like "Can you show me how to root?"
Only ones I can think of.

There's no disadvantage. You only gain function. Root is the equivalent of having admin access on your computer. There's no reason why you'd want to not have admin/root access to your phone.

Symptoms of rooting may include:
•
nightmares
•
flashbacks
•
emotional detachment or numbing of feelings
•
insomnia
•
irritability
•
hyper-vigilance
•
avoidance of reminders
•
excessive startle response
•
memory loss
•
self-medication through increased alcohol use or turning to drugs.
The only disadvantage is that you can't rent movies from the Play Store. It won't let you watch them if your rooted.
Other then that, nothing. Rooted just means you have admin access to certain folders normally that are read only.

If you have to ask this question, then you probably don't need to root the phone.
You have to be careful with what you flash that is rooted. There is a developer I've seen in the Gnex section that worked with another that was putting keyloggers and crap into his rom. He still deals with him to this day.
I rock my Gnex unrooted mostly, I'll flash a rom for a week and see how it goes. Build a kernel and see how long until I get sick of force closes and reboots. My phone is more of a toy, there is absolutely nothing important I do on my phone and I like to keep it that way.
Worst part of rooting is everyone asking me how to root theirs.

Sorry but ive got a pretty nooby question. If you want a rom like the Viper rom, Do you need to root youre device to use that ROM?
Yes. There is no way to flash a rom without unlocking the bootloader rooting the phone and on most devices flashing a custom recovery.

Welcome to XDA devs. You'll find that most of the development forums have "sticky" posts at the top that will explain not only the rules (you'll see one applies to you already) and standards, but also some helpful "noob" guides to get you started.
From your initial question (and follow-ups) it appears you're brand new to android. That's cool, we all were once. Do yourself a favor and do about an hour of reading--straight reading--before asking any more questions. This is not an insult, it will be much faster than asking, waiting for a response, then asking another question ad infinitum.
Finally, specifically to your question: most of what happens here on XDA devs requires unlocking your bootloader and rooting; if you're not comfortable with doing that, this probably won't be the best forum to you. Again, no offense intended. Your fears are well-founded: you could break your phone if you don't understand what you're doing. That said, I'm pretty much computer illiterate, but have had a great deal of success around here by just reading, reading, reading.... and then following directions in the posts (and there's many posts in which people give fantastic step-by-step directions.
So good luck, search the forums, read the forums, and ask questions once you've tried something and it's not working the way you expected. And have fun!

No you don't need to be rooted to flash a rom. Unfortunately you will.need to unlock your bootloader via HTC dev. Install recovery then flash the rom

They're right, you don't need to root to flash a ROM. In fact, most if not all custom ROMs are pre-rooted. I'm suggesting you read first to understand what "root" really means; once you have the basics down, the idea of messing with your phone won't seem nearly as frightening.
BTW- another thing about XDA: click the "thanks" button in addition to saying thanks in your comment.
I ported one Viper rom. It was very laggy due to the overclock default of the rom with Screen off, and bulkyness in size.
You DONT need to root your device to use a rom, but you NEED to unlock the bootloader.
There goes your loophole.
So i have to unlock bootloader and recovery and thats it?

I just want a simple guide to root it and a good stock rom
When you root your phone it will stay with stock features the is your choice to add themes or extra apps? Just do you research first?

So I been using cleanrom from the beginning of 4.4.2 update I find it really amazing piece of work and it is really hard for me to change it. I am a bit lazy to check out the new Roms to tell the truth that's the only ROM so far I have tried on that device been addicted as all of us to room flashing in g4 and get bored with that.
Do I would like to ask you to write ur
ROM version
Reason for using that specific ROM
Would u recommend it
If not lazy ur setup with kernel
Any issues u have with that rom and wish to change it.
Mine so far
CleanROM 2.6
Absolutely no issues have not tried so far other Roms bit that is amazing
Absolutely recommend for using as a daily ROM
Ex 2.6 no of no oc close to stock as possible performance if phenomenal
NP issue the only thing I wish to have is continue work of that ROM bit it is stopped so I wish to stay updated (I know its late but....) And try other Roms if better.

That is the beauty of Nexus devices - flashing a new ROM whenever the urge strikes you is a trivial matter, it is pretty hard to brick a Nexus barring hardware issues. Flash em all and see what you like best, or just gut the stock ROM and mod it to meet your needs and preferences.
And you can use multiRom to flash and boot multiple roms

thank you for your time my good friends

and i am obviously not familiar with any kind of lg product or kernel or anything
i have a rooted note on a costume rom ( if you wanna know about my experience)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Its pretty easy to root the thing. Here is what i would do:
Root
Install twrp 2.7 recovery
make a backup so you have it exactly like it came out of the box other than root.
Then you have about 3 choices for roms
Mahdi-Rom 2.5 4.4
LRS G Pad][v1.2.0 4.2.2 +BOB kernel
CYANOGENMOD 11 LINARO/SABERMOD 4.4
Ive used all 3 and settled on LINARO/SABERMOD. It seemed the easiest to setup, didnt have a huge amount of stuff installed (i cant use/stand pie controls) and it was easy to setup for tap on/off.
what is the point in changing the rom?i mean the installed one has a problem?
other than that what apps do you suggest,or maybe a launcher!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Honestly unless she is tech savy keep it stock I have the lg g2 and gpad both are stock but for one reason only everything works and I get great battery life out of them I do use go next launcher 3d on the phone for a launcher but stock launcher on tablet because I can't find one that I like better

No need for a custom rom, the stock one is fine. I would root it and maybe install a custom recovery, but that's completely optional, plus adding a custom recovery has the disadvantage that it complicates things when you want to do an OTA update.
Some people prefer an alternate launcher, e.g. Nova.
But really, you don't need to do anything but add some apps.

Hello..
First let me say, any standard stylus will do just fine.. I would pick one that is your Girlfriends Favorite Color.. :good:
Personally.. If I were in your position knowing what I know about "Stock ROM's" vs "What's Available" to give her tablet *A Touch*..
The only Custom ROM I would install for her is the Mahdi-ROM.. It's 100% Stable ( The Most Important Thing ) and it's very Fluid and Fast.
Other than that, I would leave it completely stock since the Official 4.4.2 KitKat Update will most likely arrive in the next 60 days.
the stock is the best for a girl
