Some examples of this freedom and control that I personally enjoy since rooting my Android include the ability to install Samba so that I can share my Android drive on my Microsoft Windows network. I can install VNC Server on my rooted Android so I can see and control it from my desktop computer. I can also change annoyances about the UI such as disabling the stupid Google search button and an annoying side button that causes me grief. Finally, I like to remove Verizon apps (bloatware) that I will never use, yet Verizon locks onto the phone. Any of these carrier forced apps can be removed once you have root. These are just a few small examples of things that can only be accomplished after gaining root access.Some examples of this freedom and control that I personally enjoy since rooting my Android include the ability to install [[Samba]] so that I can share my Android drive on my Microsoft Windows network.

The difficulty in rooting your device can vary depending on which manufacturer, model, and update you have. It can be mildly difficult to extremely complicated to root your device. My Motorola Droid Pro is somewhat complicated, because I had to roll back the software version to an earlier one, something that is risky enough, before I could root it. I have another Motorola Droid model that was as easy to root as installing an app and running it one time. '''Rooting is not for everyone'''.

When rooting, users basically have to proceed on blind faith in the developer responsible for the tool or the app that will be used, hoping that there's no sneaky backdoor built into it or that it will not harm the device. If you are using a rather obscure way to root your device, you are taking a bigger risk. It is a good idea to find instructions from multiple sources and compare to see if they correlate.A particular set of instructions for how to root your device may be dead wrong.

Once updated, the Casio Commando becomes virtually impossible to root (as of this writing) and therefore is a terrible choice of phone to purchase if you know you want an Android you can root. Some devices become more difficult to root after the system software has been updated. Some devices that you have already rooted can become unrooted after you install a system update. You need to '''do your homework before you buy'''.'''Not all Android devices are root friendly'''.
