I don't take any issue with rooting as to safe or allowed. But let's cover what I see -> out there <-.
Over in some far East country this is done so they can install all those cracked apps. The problem isn't that the root or such but the trojans and badware in the pirate chests.
So in my opinion, root away but don't start installing from those pirate app sites.

I was wondering is it safe to root your android phone? I was going to root my galaxy note 2 and im not sure if its allowed and or safe.
Also I was going to root via this site: http://trendingphones.com/how-to-root-android/

Thanks, ,let me know if its safe.
