There's another case that comes immediately to mind: tcpdump. Sometimes I find it incredibly useful to tcpdump on my phone and capture something for later analysis. The Sharkdump tools let you do this quite easily, but require root because of the device-level access requirements. In any event, that's a case where I don't so much want to modify my system as *observe* it. -Mike Ellery -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
