Hello,
I have been browsing around looking for a new small pad, Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD. I have seen a Nexus for sale, rooted, with Paranoid/Android. I had no idea what this meant, but after long and careful internet exploration I think I understand.
Rooting basically means unlocking and allowing greater customization. P/A is a custom ROM. Now I probably would have been perfectly happy if I never knew about any of this.
My question is: Am I likely to get myself into big trouble on this device? I am not really tech phobic but my understanding/ability only go so far as a good ability to read and follow directions.
Will operation of this device with P/A be obvious? Any instructions to be found anywhere? It is on EBay so I am not certain of the apps, etc. at this time.
Any opinions??
TIA
Jans
