i wanna flash to wanam 4.2.1

currently on wanam 4.1.1

It's basically having admin access to your phone. You can then modify stuff or uninstall/freeze system apps or install custom Roms (Operating system)...which you will NEVER be able to do without having your phone rooted.

Personally speaking, root your phone ONLY if you need such access. If you're fine with your phone the way it is now (unrooted), then no need to root lor.

Personal experience:

1) I was under a very limited 200MB data plan and thus, I had to skimp on web browsing. I started to notice there are tons of apps that are eating away data, which I did not authorize them to do so. I come to know of an app called LBE Security Master that can RESTRICT such permissions by only enabling them to access data through WIFI only. This requires root.

2) Unnecessary permissions by apps such as Phone ID, IMSI, IMEI, phone state and all those really suspicious stuff. How do you only allow certain apps to have certain permissions? Use LBE Security Master. This requires root.

3) I noticed my phone gets kinda hot sometimes, so one of the ways to reduce the temperature (albeit some performance reduction), is to underclock it. How? Install apps like Set CPU or CPU Master Free. This would also save you some battery too. This requires root.

4) Ram Usage- As SIII only has very little ram, around 800MB+, it is therefore essential to have good ram management. One of the ways is to freeze some system apps that eat up a lot of ram, for example those apps that some might not use, such as S Voice, S Suggest, Video Hub, Game Hub. I froze quite a lot of them and this helps in lesser ram Usage. I'm using System Tuner. This requires root.

Just my 2 cents on how I wanted to root my phone. Very practical reasons

Update: And oh, you need to root your phone in order to install Custom Roms to your phone. Basically it's like installing a different OS into your phone

yes need to wipe data

agree with ur 3th and 4th point. do any problems will appear after root?

In overall I don't think i will stick for S3 for awhile from surface only RAM, Processor and Camera is better and if when S3 loaded with 4.2.2 i think S3 will be same like S4 except the 3 i mentioned...

You cannot upgrade RAM bro..need 2GB for future use.
Otherwise gonna be lags or stutter

are you kidding ???

what do you mean ?
stick for s3 for awhile ??

Thanks XeactorZ for sharing S4 wallpaper at S4 thread, it look nice.

Dude, root just gives admin access to your device. It's like the master key to all doors in the house. Nothing else has changed.

See my sig and the link if you like.

S4 nothing special

sure i'm kidding lorrr...
(but sure they dont want to lose more monehh by changing mobo for free)

welcome
but sometime the wallpaper my gallery can't open

that their job, if not want warranty for what

Yeah! Wait for Note 3!

dunno can tahan or not, because my hand is itchy already

Bro... What i trying to say is the different in surface in between S3 and S4 that is Camera, RAM and processor other than that only left is software that S3 might get it when come to 4.2+

Bro... What i trying to say is the different in surface in between S3 and S4, that S4 with better Camera, RAM and processor other than that only left is software that S3 might get it when come to 4.2+

So i will keep my S3 first...

Upgrade to S4 now and few months later Note 3...

will think about it, now S3 can sell how much?
