Really! Is it a must you root your phone?

« on: August 22, 2010, 05:48:22 PM »

I have been reading a lot about this rooting of the phone just so you can install a fix that will get rid of all the so-called Lag issue. Now, I really like to know why is it a MUST to be able to root your phone just to increase the speed of your phone? I do not get it. Are'rt the available programs in the market, to shut down unwanted programs down, sufficient? Like Task killer etc.

I am ordered my phone and hopefully will be getting it soon. But it worried me that the first thing I have to do is 'Root' my phone because of programs running in the background? Does not sound too logical to me.

Samsung is coming out with a new firmware or update next month, so is it really neccessary that I start messing up my phone for something that will be officially available to the public?

Is this lag on every single new Samsung Galaxy S phone on the market?

Truth is, the SGS is not laggy after killing all the background tasks. It's just not fast enough for some.

I was, like you, do not know the main purpose of ROOTING and was reluctant to root at first.

Lag fix is just one of the many alterations you can do to you rooted device. My purpose is to be able to use a on-device "Screen-Capture", enabled the paid applications on the egotistic Android Market and remove the un-present SingTel Start-up and Shut-down animations.

I've just updated my SGS yesterday and immediately, I rooted it again Big Smile

So if you root what programs do you use to get rid of the lag issue that is a MUST for rooting?

I did not lag-fix my SGS. I'm still happy with it's speed.

You can try this One Click Lag Fix by RyanZA of XDA Developers.

NOTE: I DID NOT Lag-Fix my device, so don't hold it against me if something goes wrong.

No worries. I am not doing it either. I rather wait until the official Samsung update, froyo is released in September. I was just curious to know why going through such method was so necessary. I figure it would be much similiar just to use a app that will do the same. Big Grin

Emmm...I'd not say rooting is a must, but rather a choice.

For me, the main purpose are mentioned above Happy

Understood. Although I do want the same speedy device as your rooted phone, I just thought there was an easier way than rooting. That's all.

Bro,

I just rooted my phone, I did not lag-fix it.

Originally, to me, the device's speed is good enough. I use Advance Task Killer and Memory Up Pro. So, my device's speed is no different before or after root.

But, I do find that the latest firmware is faster during startup. Big Smile

Omnian, doesnt memory up pro already have a task killer? Once i upgraded i immediately uninstalled advanced task killer cause i thought it was already redundant.

I just got my phone and I must say that it is the best phone I have spent on a mobile phone. I am not going to go through and a explain but only say that I will definitely not be rooting my phone as I am happy the way it is right now. Performance seems very fast for me. Although I have not tested the GPS, only hoping that Samsung official update will fix the problems people are facing. I am not a big GPS user so it will not bother me too much.
Omnian, where did you find the 'memory up pro' app? Although I have not done any major test with this unit, as I mentioned earlier, but I'd just like to know I can get this app if necessary. Thanks.
