Root Why Should I root my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0?

[Dngrsone]

I have a GT-P3113 Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (wifi only) with Android 4.1.1 (Jellybean) on it.

I don't use it for much, yet... but I am wondering: should I root it? What advantages would I have for doing so.

I mean, I rooted my Galaxy S II (Epic 4G Touch) so that I could do certain things my provider blocked me from doing, but I have no cell-phone carrier in the way of this tablet.

So, I am curious-- what does root do for the user of this device?

IMO, you should forget rooting and upgrade to CM10.1 Its very awesome. 4.2.1 awesomeness....

CM10 is what, Cyanogen Mod?

Wouldn't that also include root?

What is so awesome about it?

I use this tablet, right now, mostly as an entertainment device-- a couple movies, eBooks, light internet use when a wifi signal is available.

I do have a nice little wifi scanner that I use on occasion, and the usual array of productivity tools I haven't tapped into yet-- Evernote, Tasks, and whatnot.

I work in electronics; I may, sometime in the future, build an oscilloscope and/or spectrum analyzer to interface with the pad for the occasional road trip, but I have neither money nor time to spend on stuff like that right now.

If you are happy with the tab the way it is - leave it

The main reason I rooted mine was to have the ability to remove all the bloatware - or apps that are just taking up space
