but not alot of people would agree with that.and ALOT of people don't root their phones.besides the procedure is so simple if you know what you are doing their seems no reason to have root by default.unlock the bootloader and push su.then flash CWM and you're good to go.atleast it isn't as complex as motorola's phones :|

Because there is always something that can be tweaked out - sound, color, rooting...it is not a requirement, so if you question why? then it is not for you..and that is ok.

Why overclock if your phone is fast? (Exception: htc one series) why boost your screen when you have a 720p display? Why cyanogenmod? Buy a nexus.

this is a nexus. durka.

and again, its about options. a nexus lets us do pretty much anything we want... well.. some times we want more than pretty much.

This is rooting a phone, not changing the ROM. Root gives us access to dozens of things without changing the rom.

I have no intention of getting away from stock with stock updates. . however there are alwyas things to tweak.
The manufacturer doesnt always know best.

im about to root my 10 minute old nexus4. Why? Because there's things I want to do to it.
I like stuff from touchwiz like the spiral gallery app on the note2. With an rooted phone I can add that and other things to my device and make it truely "mine"

This is a first edition root method. If you give it a day or 2 there will probably be a "one click root" of sorts for those that are a lil more shy about doing such things.

Try the cosmic flow live wallpaper from xperia . It's nice . But make sure you download the ics version if not its pretty laggy
I think you may like the touchwiz launcher from the GS3 but I like stock more .
I also using sony's Walkman music player it looks better
