Root or Not to Root?

[office politics]

That is the Question.

If you have rooted your phone,

What OS?

What was the deciding factor?

How was the experience afterwards?

I rooted my Tablet, Acer Iconia Tab A500. I'm running Honeycomb 3.2 with a custom rom, HoneyVillian 3.7 OC-UV. I rooted it so I could install apps that require root and I wanted to overclock it. I'm at 1.5GHz when I'm doing stuff and 1GHz when it's idle. When it start getting cold on a regular basis I'll try to Max it out at 1.646GHz. I really like it, it has a mini hdmi output that I hookup to my bedroom TV in the mornings so I don't have to get up to surf the net, plus Angry Birds is fun with a 46" screen.

CyanogenMod 7... because I was curious
Afterwards... It was nice. Ran faster and looked better, for the most part.

I have my Galaxy S 2 rooted, and my Galaxy S before it. The GS2 in particular came with a lot of crap installed, with stuff Reader Hub and Social Hub and the BBC iPlayer and about six T-Mobile-installed apps.
