I don’t root my phones all the time. For the most part I leave it unrooted so I can use streaming apps and such.
However when I’m upgrading my from one version of Android to another, I root my device to backup my apps, so I don’t need to set everything up again. Browser book marks, playlists etc.
Sucks that most apps won’t allow you to export this to a file, but at least there is some ways to backup my apps.
