Oh, fuck off. I'm not one to root my phone, but you own the damn thing. Once it's in your hands, the maker should have no right to tell you what to do with it.
- Yeah, I'm really tired of this.
  We should be able to root and install any OS on our phones like we can do on PC.
  I don't use root or custom ROMs on my phone anymore but this is something that should always be possible.
