This is not meant to be me complaining, whining, or anything of that sort, just my opinion of root, I keep reading "OMG I love root, it's the best" so I'm offering the other side.
1) I have to re-download all my apps and everytime I load a new rom- I know they're SUPPOSED to sync, and maybe it's something I'm doing wrong, but even with astro backing everything up I still have to reset up everything on the apps i download
2) the new Gallery- takes so long to load, and crashes
3) my Camera now crashes my phone after about a minute of picture taking
4) No in browser flash support- yes, I can watch videos on youtube, but that doesn't help when I'm browsing the internet
5) Videos in text: I can no longer watch video or listen to sound clips my friends text me. this is by-far, my biggest problem with rooting my phone.
Yup, I know, I rooted at my own risk; it's my own fault. Looking at my phone now though, I really don't see any benefit to rooting it in the first place. Yes, it runs a little bit faster, and with setcpu, my battery life lasts a little longer, but those two things are heavily out weighed by the problems I'm having. Looking back now, I would have much rather not rooted and kept my phone stock. In conclusion; think strongly about rooting before doing so. I thought I did my fair share of research before rooting, but had I known about the text, camera, and gallery, I would have not even thought about rooting.
