In light of this, and our inability to assist members due to our limitations regarding root discussions, isn't it time that the "no root talk" rule is dropped.
As android root talk is like for like. Discussion of one device is as good as discussion for the other, especially when similar SOC are used.
So, are we to not assist in the discussion of this device, or are we at a stage now where discussing root features is now allowed?

I can see it now, even the most simple root messing like swapping boot animation, could easily result in a system boot file being swapped with a boot ani zip.
Game over.

and at least a basic understanding of ADB is a must, surely?

Many, many, MANY custom roms are based around cyanogen and it is highly regarded as the "goto" solution for a rooted, fully modifiable firmware.
Many a time will you see on XDA a member say "I'll wait for CM" meaning they'll root and rom ONLY when the device has a stable cyanogen build for it.

Not only can you just change wallpaper anymore you can actually change many of the pre sets that manufacturers write into their firmware.
Change colours, startup screens, sounds, reorder menus, delete any app, make proper backups, use different framework etc, etc, etc.......
