While I have prior experience, my job now involves android software, and I was wondering which rooting application would be best for rooting pretty much all Android devices, and multiple times per hour.
Or, does it even matter? Should I just stick to King?

KingoRoot for PC is the most successful one till now, but it doesn't root Nogut roms yet, and there is no way to root Nogut Roms without flashing a custom recovery.
There is also iroot for PC, it's pretty much the same as KingoRoot.

Not really. Root is starting to require kernel hacks and the few like mentioned tend to install bloatware and tracking software on the device. While they are here xda doesn't advise their use.

If you want to root without a PC, stick to King

Yeah, root is definitely different now than when I learned how to do it. What do you recommend as an alternative to rooting with programs like King and iRoot?

That is a difficult question. The reason being is I only get nexus devices and devices that have unlocked bootloaders and kernel source. So root is a simple matter. For me. I would say that if it is not supported by supersu then I wouldn't bother with root.
On phone, Kingroot (Not Kingo) and on PC iRoot maybe for Chinese phones? But the best option always is to flash SUperSU as the former(s) does tend to use quite a lot of battery.

Which ROM?
R there any ICS ones?
WOuld love to hear ur thoughts
Thank you
Seriously, if you don't know whether or not there's even an ICS ROM available yet, maybe you shouldn't be flashing a $600+ phone, yeah? Or, you know... use the search tool?

you should try with stock rom for a while, start reading about flashing roms and you will be ready to flash
I know it's annoying to have to wait, but it's better to do it, than wind up with a potentially ruined device.
@benyben123
I suggest trying out Checkrom 4.0. It is very stable
Stock ROM but ROOTED and your' good to go..................friendly recommendation
Dude, if You just got Your phone and don't know what rom to choose at first learn the device. You don't need neither custom rom nor root. These are just addons for great device. It's common that people don't use their device but play with it and it ends badly. You assumed that any rom is good apart from stock but stock rom is very good. Also You don't need to root it instantly. Some say that "phone is unusable in non rooted state" - it's bull s**t. Apps that require root are designed to meet very specific needs, not for regular users. It's because android is veery advanced and allow many things without administrator privileges (this is not an iphone !). Remember - people think that root is "something everyone should do at once" - no it's not, and it's very dangerous in hands of unexperienced user. One false move with root privileges and You will start learning many things about flashing at once just to recover your device. Also remember that this is not another "application privilege". App with root privs is capable of wiping entire system in a seconds including IMEI data etc.
It's really friendly advice - leave Your phone as it is for now, learn how it works, install some apps and read as much as You can. Then You will know what your device is capable of and what can be achieved by rooting / flashing kernels or roms. Flashing without a reason, just for fun is stupid and ends with full pants.

Thank you all for all your responses!!! Much appreciated!!!
Official MIUI without a doubt. The best ROM I've used on any device.

...another thing worth to read about. What do You mean by supported ? It's supported by it's designers.
For SGS2 we have custom ROMs like CheckROM - modified Samsung officials, added some tweaks, apps, removed less usable apps. And ROMs like MIUI or CyanogenMod - they are AOSP (android open source project) and have little in common with Samsung official firmware, ex. no TouchWiz so some Samsung specific apps will not work on them. According to Wikipedia - MIUI is based on CM7.1 sources.
MIUI is not "ported", it's prepared for many devices including SGS2.
Don't do *anything* until you've done a *lot* of reading. Enjoy the phone. It's a fantastic device simply running stock firmware.
Once you're comfortable enough to be able to do it in your sleep (And not before. If you have to ask questions about this, you're not ready. It is an absolutely simple process), root your phone using a CFRoot kernel.
This will enable you to remove/freeze all the crap telcos/Samsung put on the phone and all the other joyful things that come with having a rooted phone. And do a lot more reading. Only this time read the threads devoted to the various roms/kernels. Read other users experiences with these. The features. Pluses. Downsides. Ask specific questions about them in these threads.
From there, you can make an informed decision about a rom/kernel combo to try. Believe me, if you do a couple of weeks of reading/research before you do anything, you'll reap the rewards.
If you jump in the deep end without understanding what you're doing, you could end up with a soft brick that might take you a few days to fix at best. Or returning the phone to Samsung /potentially having to pay to have it repaired out of your own pocket at worst.
Just a few things to consider
Hey All, Im not new to Rooting at all and I really want to try out the camera mod amongst other features.
Is everyone else having success or is there anything I should worry about besides the actual be safe while rooting procedures?

The root is as simple as it gets.. 1-2-3.. nothing to worry about.. There is no recovery yet but you can still do all your normal stuff.

I know how to root after unlocking the bootloader, but it's always a bit risky and lengthy. Using root apps can be a very good alternative for the layman who can be afraid of the risks of usual methods (even if they are quite low, I agree, but people generally just want something fast that works without a hitch).

U should just look for a way of rooting your device by searching the method to root it. Its also true that there is always some risk of getting things wrong but if u want to enjoy your device to its fullest then giving a try is worth it.

Indeed after a quick google search, I have found some. But are they really working? The webpages look rather like amateurish (nor geekish, really amateur), aren't they scam? (did someone try such a tool for KitKat?)

Does anyone know how to root the DNA?
I have been using this phone until recently
and now I want to root it to install a custom ROM.
It's been used pretty much normally without any modification
and is caught up with the latest updates.
However, most root processes seem to be outdated and I would like help
from someone who can guide me through

THIS(SunShine s-off) is your only option, costs $25 and is self explanatory, very simple to use.

Yeah I've pretty much tried most of the automated / manual methods and none of them seem to do the job, it's most likely an unsupported version.
Twrp recovery includes a rooting method when you boot it up for the first time.
Search around, you need the twrp Img file and an unlocked bootloader to flash it from.
