if you have to risk ruining your phone to make it work it sure sounds like you already are stuck with a worthless phone.

It's been mentioned a lot in this thread, but it's worth repeating: SwiftKey is waaaaaay better than than the stock Android keyboard. I would recommend it to anyone. |

Started out with Swype, using Swifkey now. Both are good but I'm going back to Swype.

uh...wut? Advanced Android is nice for nerds like us who understand how to properly and safely do stuff like rooting. Personally I choose to have a phone that I don't have to actively maintain or take ridiculous steps to secure.
This frees me up to tinker with other more interesting things like BSD or my Debian server. To go to your car analogy, there's probably a reason that person may have an old Camero in your garage that you can maintain but your wife drives a Honda that's guaranteed to run all the time that you don't have to mess with. |

@Vailpass - When you do root your phone, do you run as root all the time or is there some kind of layer that allows the user to jump into root momentarily if they need to a la sudo in the rest of Linux?
If I did have an android and did root it, I'd sure as hell hit that thing with a port scanner. IIRC, my jailbroken OG iPhone had SSH open after the initial process. |
