Years ago, on Fridays, we would share Custom ROM Friday posts that would highlight new and exciting developments in the world of custom Android ROMs. It was great times, as it seemed like the majority of our readers at the time were deep into running custom software and accessing root...

Do you root or do you go straight to ROMs?

    I don’t root my phones all the time. For the most part I leave it unrooted so I can use streaming apps and such.

    However when I’m upgrading my from one version of Android to another, I root my device to backup my apps, so I don’t need to set everything up again. Browser book marks, playlists etc.

    Sucks that most apps won’t allow you to export this to a file, but at least there is some ways to backup my apps.
