Keep it! I'll tell you a couple of reasons why being root is awesome:
- If you unlock your bootloader and install a custom Kernel (
DoomKernel is my favorite), you are able to overclock your CPU for faster performance, or underclock it for better battery life (
SetCPU works well for me).
- You can install apps that require root access to work and can do very, very useful things. Titanium Backup, for example, lets you save the data from your apps so that it's not lost when you flash a new ROM.
- If you're like me, you'll like having the terminal on your phone, even if you don't use it that much. I've found it useful a couple of times. If you're root, you can download the
Terminal emulator from the market and play around.
There are many benefits of being root depending on what you like to do with your phone. These are just the reasons why I like it
