3. Do I Really Need to Root?

Now, before we actually get down to business, you need to sit down, take a deep breath and ask yourself a very important question: do I really need to root my device?

Think carefully! Not only is your first time likely to take a while as you get familiar with the inner workings of your phone, but research has found that an alarmingly high percentage of first time root users often can never go back to their regular lives – they’re destined to devote a nice chunk of their time to finding ever better ROMs, trying out new Kernels and other deviant activities.

As to the actual reasons why you might need to root your device, they range from improving its performance by installing custom ROMs and Kernels, to wishing to use any particular app that requires root access. If you're coming over from the dark side (using an iPhone), this is the equivalent of Jailbreaking.

Not everything is all fun and games when messing with your Android smartphone, of course, which brings us forth to our next topic.
