    rooting

    Just got myself the galaxy s4 for verizon. Is it worth it to risk it and root the device? Or wait until my warranty runs out?

    I don't think there is any risk to rooting, you can easily root/unroot an android device AFAIK

    If you don't what you are doing you can easily brick your device.

    I dont find any risk on rooting but installing a rom yes. It sometimes is a pain in the ass.

    If you don't know how, and don't know what to use it for, then don't.
    If you do, go nuts.

    I'm pretty sure you can find a guide on how to get a ROM from your phone and save it elsewhere (a backup so to speak)

    If you feel like it, you should root it, it`s not that hard. But if it gets somewhat '' damaged '' in the process, you know you have to pay to fix it >.<
