Getting There
So, I've been looking into rooting my Android here lately so I can make it perform better and also have more control over it. I feel like it's fairly locked down compared to what I really like to have, I love freedom within anything and that is what brought me to root my phone.
I've had this phone, maybe 2 years...probably less. I haven't even updated from Gingerbread yet (2.3) and I think I'd rather root my phone, instead of update the OS to 4.0..
I have the Samsung Galaxy S II on AT&T's network (No, it is not the skyrocket. I've tried many Skyrocket cases and they never fit correctly..),
The model number is I777
Android Version is 2.3.6
Kernel is 2.6.35.7
Could I and should I root my phone? I'd love to get as much information as possible, before I make the decision and there seems to be some well known people on here that know what they're talking about.
Thanks,
Killian M.
Also, I asked one person about it..not real sure if it's true. But would everything be wiped from my phone if I ROOTed it? I've flashed things before in the past and I feel like it's the same thing, ya flash it, ya lose it. So do I need another SD Card to back up everything I need to it or will it all still be there after I install the custom ROM?
