    Root Will you root?

    From my earliest time on this forum I've been a die hard rooter and rom flashing addict. I'm finding fewer and fewer reasons for doing so now. Marshmallow seems to fit the bill for me, and I haven't had much reason to change it. So there it is - Will you or have you rooted? Why/Why not?

    Beware (Launch time) 3rd Party Cases

    From AP - It seems like case manufacturers know as little about phones as we do before the announcements.
