Why you should root Samsung Galaxy S II? Before using Samsung Galaxy S2, I am an Android HTC HD2 user. And all the custom ROMs for HTC HD2 are rooted by default. Therefore, I don’t have any issue to use Android applications that require root access. Here are my top reasons why you should to root Samsung Galaxy S2.
