should i root my phone?

is the galaxy s ii skyrocket worth rooting? can someone tell me the benefits and disadvantage if rooted. Ive rooted my old phone before but dont really have a good understanding yet. i had a mytouch 4g rooted where i did the over clock and switch rom but if i do that doesnt that prevent u from doing updates. so what happens if icecream sandwitch comes out how will i be able to update to icecream?

Rooting by itself won't prevent your ability to take future OTA updates ; however, if you change your recovery partition (i.e., flash CWM) the OTA update will fail... you'll have to reflash stock 3e recovery first, then take OTA update. I rooted my 2.3.5 I727-SR but kept stock 3e recovery... and I was able to take the OTA 2.3.6 when it was available.

if someone makes a rom from ICS, you could flash it no matter what rom you are currently using......
i think you need to do a little bit of reading up on what it means to flash a rom

[Q] Ice Cream Fevor

How many of you were excited to find out we have ICS builds? Now with that out the way is it possible to have AOSP ICS if we have the build from HTC?

AOSP ICS is from another build, the Sense ICS release won't have any impact on the AOSP front (except maybe some more motivation?) So we have to wait and see ^^

[Q] Questions regarding kernels

I can't post in the Dev section yet, so I'm posting here.
Can I use this kernel with ARHD 3.6.13 (Android 2.3.4)?
How do I reduce the clock speed of this kernel? I want my phone to run @1.2GHz because overclocking drains battery.
Thanks.

the first kernel you linked at, which it the Bricked kernel, can't be used on gingerbread, it's only an ice cream sandwich kernel.
as for the second kernel, faux, you can change it's clock speed by using set spu from here
if you update your ARHD build, to ICS, then you may use bricked kernel on it.
i hope this helps.

I'm using the bricked kernel now but. I'm 4.0.3. Once you upgrade to Ics or 4.0.3 you will be able to use it. But its for Ics or 4.0.3 so you have to upgrade from gingerbread first. Hope this helps.
