This week on Android Authority On Air we’ll try not to rage or voice our opinions too much over this weeks Patent Wars segment. The Galaxy Nexus has been banned in the US. You can’t even buy it from the Google Play Store. And that Android fans, has us fuming. We’ll try not to talk about #boycottapple too much as we have many other issues to discuss. From Amazon phone rumors, to CM10, to the Nexus 7 and Jelly Bean information, all is not doom and gloom this week. Finally, we wrap up the show with rooting and not rooting. What are the pros and cons of each and should you do it?

Great discussion, watched the whole thing.
Learned a lot, I am an average user.
I thought about rooting to remove bloatware.
I own an LG Optimus LTE (Nitro) – Canada.
I won't be rooting, and hope to get the ICS update late in July and disable as many apps as possible.
Thanks for telling me that some apps can't be disabled.
Overall this was an excellent discussion and all the jokes at the end were very funny!
Good work and keep it up!
Thanks for the reply!
S-Voice and Face Recognition do work on custom ROMs. Some TouchWiz only features may not though. Now, if you just decide to root and not flash any custom ROM, everything will continue to work as previously intended on your SGS3.
Hair = cut. All sexified now.
I haven't used a comb since middle school, so it will go to waste. Have no fear though. I got my hair cut on Saturday!
Questions, I hope they aren't stupid newbie questions:
If I root my phone, what will happen to my apps?
There are some features that I find neat/useful (for now). Will I lose S-Voice and Face-recognition?
Thanks in advance.
One thing they didnt mention as a user reason for root, with the S3 and a lot of the newer phones, when you connect via USB, it uses the very slow MTP, so the phone storage isn't assigned a drive letter, which makes syncing the storage a pain, to access it using standard mass storage mode, you need root and an extra app
great video good episode
If Derek were to have a comb I can't promise he will have his remaining hair for much longer…
Can I buy you a comb?
I own gnote in Australia on Vodafone, still awaiting the ics update…good discussion about rooting. Worth pondering.
You're welcome. If you have any other questions, please let me know. We'd love to help!
Thanks for the discussion about "to root or not to root" that is the question. I'm on the fence about rooting and I appreciate the discussion you had.
Im very proud of you!
