This is not related to business in anyway. This is university research.

You must not make assuming rooted devices are uncommon or even detectable part of your business statements, as that would be dangerously misleading to anyone who might rely on it.

So imho it is relevant and interesting for vendors. Its just a research study we are carrying. Certain operations can be performed on a rooted phone and some of them are security threats. We would like to quantify certain statements we make. Also, now that rooting is legal, I expect a rise in the no. of users who would root their phones.

Ummm, not that I know of. Even if it were there, it would be an enormous task to update it regularly. Users keep on switching. Even a small sample of users cannot actually give you the approx numbers. But, I am wondering how will this number help anyone. :) -Kumar Bibek http://techdroid.kbeanie.com On Sep 4, 7:14 pm, Tez wrote: > Hi, > > Is there any statistic/research study on the no. of users who root > their phones? > > Cheers, > Earlence -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
