Hey, haven't really posted here before and sorry for asking a question that's probably been asked a million times, but I've just had an information overload today.
I rooted my Nexus 10 today using the CF Auto Root, which also unlocked my bootloader. I won't really be tampering with much on the device as the main reason I wanted to do it is to use my PS3 controller to play games. My question is, what do I need to do with my device still to ensure it doesn't encounter any difficulties with the root?
Sorry again for the basic question, and thanks in advance!

No it's all fine. And since it is a Nexus it's unbrickable.. Or you have to do something really stupid.. You can fix it almost always.

If something does go very wrong, just restore the factory images. Welcome to the wonderful world of rooting!

I just wanted to give my opinion about rooting, I'm sure a lot of people like to do so, but on this device I don't think that you need to, I did a root on my .gs1 because of lag, then my arc needed more then root lol but my sgs 3 so far the best phone that I ever seen, not perfect, but as for lag, battery life, speed its top!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
There a a ton of reasons to root besides lag.
I have an app that requires root that keeps my clock in sync with the actual atomic clock time. The system clock will, over time, be too fast or too slow which means that eventually my phone is a few minutes off.
I have an app that requires root that is used to freeze/quarantine bloatware.
I have an app that requires root that allows me to backup not only my applications, but the application data as well.
I also enjoy root for custom ROMs and kernels that have less lag/stutter than the phone normally does (and yes, this still applies to the Samsung Galaxy S3).
There are always reasons to root.
I understand, I'm not saying not too, for me if the phone is good I'm leaving it stock

Root no >> then no Nandroid and No TB no Ad Blocker . No push apps .

Rooting has absolutely nothing to do with reducing lag or anything at all performance wise.
Rooting just gives you superuser permissions on your device.
Even if you are running an octo core phone with 5gb of ddr3 ram, rooting still offers benefits.

I fail to see the reason for this topic.
You choose not to root your phone and seem to have no idea what rooting actually means.
Fine by me, why should I or anyone else care what you personally do and do not do with your phone?
ok I have another question is there a root where could just download an app like a old g s one?

I rooted because the T-Mobile not sound was annoying. Without root, I couldn't get rid of it. Also ad block needed to be done.

Galaxy Phones are hard to hardbrick (not revivable through simple software and/or a 2$ USB-Jig)
By following the instructions in the General section ('following' meaning 'reading', not 'assuming' or 'trying') you're on a quick and painless root.

Doesn't seem like OTA updates work with encryption, I planned to encrypt mine like the rest of my stuff but not if I can't get updates.

Was your GNex rooted and encrypted?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Personally, I think that unless you actually have something important and confidential to protect, it really doesn't warrant the use of encryption. It makes things a pain in the arse e.g. updates, some recoveries don't work with encryption etc.

Just saw the 10 inch Youtube app on Sony Tablet S and I love it.
Now is there any way to get it WITHOUT rooting, I assume with PA ROM you could just change "size" but I don't wanna root this beauty.
Thanks for your help.

You do realize that not one person owes you or anyone else on this site anything. Certainly not answers to your questions or responses to your demands. People take time out if their lives to help others in need. With comments like that, you are even less likely to get help or answers to your questions.

The app is the same for all devices it just changes its layout due to the DPI that is set.....and you need to be rooted to change that. So unless Google decides the tablet layout is OK for this smaller screen then we are out of luck.

Not gonna root my N7 just yet, that's why I got a Nexus, so that I wouldn't have to root.
Thanks anyway for the replies.
I'm K7C and I come from the doubleshot threads , I'm going to be getting a nexus 4 and wanted to know if I should get it. I like diff UI's and since this is the Nexus it has a lot of options. What would you rate your nexus with and without root. Thanks

Perfect description! Simply one cannot own a nexus and enjoy its full potential without root.
Not to mention the fact that the N4 is one of the easiest smartphones to unlock & root. Just don't use a toolkit, and enjoy learning about Android.

What's wrong with using the toolkit? If I can't use the tk then I will need someone to walk me through the process over the phone.

you learn nothing. so when you run into the issue, youre screwed since you dont know the basics. anyways, doing it the right way is just as easy as using a toolkit. all you need to do(in a nutshell) is fastboot oem unlock, flash a recovery via fastboot, flash either the su binaries or a custom rom in your new recovery, then reboot. nothing difficult. but learning to fastboot and to use the recovery is essential.
