I would like to root my phone and maybe try out Cyanogen and maybe some diff kernels and stuff.
1. How safe is rooting? Am I opening myself up to attacks with root privileges enabled?
2. Is my phone less secure since boot(or recovery) menus will now be accessible.
3. How safe are most of the ROMs. Cyanogen specifically? It seems like it would be really easy for some of the developers to throw in malware or tracking software.
4. if I take a nandroid backup before I install a different ROM will that set me back to what I was at exactly? Apps, Texts, all that kind of thing? Does that include the kernel aswell?
5. Is unrooting an option?
