No, you CAN install 3rd Party Apps without Rooting... -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 2:41 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Rooting Android phones
Basically by "rooting" your phone you get the ability to install 3rd party apps that are not specifically approved by your carrier and as you say, uninstall crap that you don't want. :-) From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 3:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT : Rooting Android phones Lately Ive been seeing a number of articles and videos on rooting Android phones, including the HTC EVO that I use. Besides the obvious gaining root access, has anyone done this that can list some of the benefits from rooting your phone ? (Im thinking maybe I could finally uninstall that Nascar app that was bundled by Sprint ) Thanks in advance Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !
