I cannot root my phone due to warrenty.Android needs better permission control and root option by default.

Void your warrant. It's worth it. If you're on a contract you can generally get a new phone every year, and android contract phones are pretty cheap (I got a pretty decent one for $.01). I had problems with my phone a while back and took it into an AT&T store. The clerks didn't even care that it was rooted, they still helped me out. Not sure if it was just the store or if they don't actually care, but it worked either way. Even if they hadn't helped me, I still would have been happy to have rooted. So much more control.
