Androidは「危険」とか「セキュリティが」とか言われています。
個人情報とか放射能とかいろいろモレモレの流出な最近ですが。
いろんな問題をハラミつつインターネッツは情報伝達な利便性で
さらに躍進していますが,ユッケでまた風評がどうのこうのとか。
結局は,人間は「利便性 > 危険性」的な雰囲気で
いやなことはフタをして忘れながら30年ごとの津波にあったり
原子力の被害にあったり戦争を繰り返したりします。
すこしAndroidのrooted関連な人気な記事をみてみます。

Root is required because of Android security restrictions, vote for http://bit.ly/set_time_without_root if you want it to work without root.
Don't have root? See http://bit.ly/phoneroot for the detailed instructions.
Don't want or can't root your device? You can still use ClockSync as your precise time source to adjust your watch or other clocks, or to verify how accurate your cell time is.
Issues, questions or suggestions? Please e-mail me, developers have no way to respond to Market comments.
I reply to every e-mail within one day maximum (usually instantly).
See http://bit.ly/clocksync for more information.
SetCPU for Root Users:CPUの各種設定
SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings (capable of overclock and underclock) on a rooted Motorola Droid, Nexus One, G1, G2, Samsung Galaxy S, myTouch 4G, Motorola Xoom, or one of many other devices to improve performance or save battery.
SetCPU also allows you to set up profiles to change the CPU speed under certain conditions, such as when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, or when the phone's temperature is too high. See the screenshots for examples of how you might set up profiles.
SetCPU's wide feature set make it useful to beginners and enthusiasts alike. Accelerate your processor to unleash your phone's multitasking potential, or dial your CPU's speed down to save battery.
Have an HTC Sense device with a stock ROM or kernel? If you are having trouble getting your settings to "stick," press Menu > Disable Perflock. You still have to be rooted.
Galaxy S devices: conservative scaling is recommended (ondemand on the Nexus S). There are issues with Galaxy S kernels that may result in crashes if some other scaling governors are used, or if the sleep profile "max" value is set too low.
More flexible profile options and revamped interface coming soon!
Root Explorer (File Manager):すべてのファイルの操作
Root Explorer is the ultimate file manager for root users. Access the whole of android's file system (including the elusive data folder!).

Audio support for movies/screencasts is under development.
Only supports ***ROOTED*** devices.
Please report problems via belgianwaves@gmail.com
Font Changer (root):フォントの変更
Requires *FULL ROOT* (aka NAND unlocked or S-OFF) and *BUSYBOX*. If you don't know what either means stay away! Not all custom firmwares may work, but MIUI does.
Font Changer allows you to switch the default system font on your Android device (will replace the keyboard font too for a fresh typing experience). It creates an automatic backup of the default fonts at the beginning. When removing the application it should be done from inside its settings to restore your default fonts.
Further features include:
* Screen density changer which allows you to virtually increase/decrease the size to make things appear bigger/smaller (not MIUI compatible)
* Quick reboot (not MIUI compatible)
* Font previews
* Localisation in English, Russian, Polish, and Korean
Fonts are not included for legal reasons. Information on how to add fonts and how to use Font Changer is inside the application. For more information check out the website. If you have any problems please send an email, I cannot reply to comments. Thank you.
Permissions explained:
* REBOOT - to reboot the device (achieved through root anyway)
* WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - moving and deleting fonts
* INTERNET - for showing adverts (check out the ad-free donate version if you would like to support development)
BusyBox Installer:Linuxのコマンドが使える
BusyBox is a software application that provides many standard Unix tools, much like the larger (but more capable) GNU Core Utilities. BusyBox is designed to be a small executable for use with the Linux kernel, which makes it ideal for use with embedded devices. It has been self-dubbed "The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux".
This version includes 1.17.1 and 1.18.4, no need to have more than that because it takes up space on your phone and each newer version will still contain the older features, unless I forgot to compile them in.
Leave this installed if you always want to get the latest version of busybox!
If you would like to donate, there is a donate version of this app on the market to help with the future development of this app and just a way to say thanks!
DroidWall (Root Required):ファイヤーウオールで通信制限
I will be out of country until May 22nd, so there will be no project activity during this period. Please, don't freak out if tickets lay unanswered 🙂
DroidWall - Android Firewall is a front-end application for the powerful iptables Linux firewall. It allows you to restrict which applications are permitted to access your data networks (2G/3G and/or Wi-Fi).
This is the perfect solution if you don't have an unlimited data plan, or just wants to see your battery lasting longer.
After installing, press menu and click Help for an explanation on how to use it.
androidscreencast:画面の動画キャプチャとPCからの操作
Desktop app to control an android device remotely using mouse and keyboard. Should work on Windows/Linux/MacOS with any android device.
market-enabler:マーケットのフィルタを突破
Market-Enabler is an application to fake the phone's location and access markets from other countries. Android market is separated into regions (country and carrier specific) and some apps are just enabled for a specific country and not available to the other countries.
connectbot:ターミナル接続でrootに
ConnectBot is a Secure Shell client for the Android platform. Its ultimate goal is to create a secure connection through which you can use a shell on a remote machine and transfer files back and forth to your phone.
net-widgetron-propeditor:OSのいろいろな設定を変更
Rooted Android phone owners sometimes have to edit build.prop (or build.boardname.prop) files to tweak settings like hsdpa, model name displayed, or other things. The problem is that this has to either be done on a computer with file pushing back and forth or via cli on the phone. Furthermore, these files are overwritten whenever a new Android update is flashed.
PropEditor allows you to edit the build.prop files on the phone, with a GUI that shows you a list of all the properties, and suggests modifications for given properties (to save you mistyping complicated and critical information). Furthermore, PropEditor allows you to merge two .prop files, so you can save your common edits on your sdcard and overwrite these settings in a newly flashed system build.prop.
いろいろみていると,
rootedでなければできないと思われてた機能が
徐々に可能になってきているのがよくわかります。
ウンコにまちがいありません。
