Top Ten Android Apps You Need To Be Rooted For

The 10 Best Android Apps that Make Rooting Your Phone Worth the Hassle - Lifehacker. Lifehacker has a great post about the benefits of rooting your Android phone. First, it is legal to do it with Android, and illegal on iPhone. Second, gaining access to the root of your phone will give you more control over how you use the phone. You can delete the crapware that phone makers add on, and you can learn about the Linux OS that is underneath the Android OS. I haven't rooted the Thunderbolt yet; although, I want to. It is just too cumbersome right now, since HTC locked down the bootloader. However, since HTC has announced a relaxation of that policy for new phones, I expect that an update is coming which will make rooting the Bolt easy. In the meantime, I am having fun with the Droid Incredible, which is easy to root.
