V8 Beast Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Droid x's are rootable. Motorola will never publicly say this but they love the fact that people are able to customize their devices. It gives an edge and an appeal for people to buy their phones. They dont lose money on the deal and it creates die hard android fans. When they send it out they have to do what they can to keep the battery life and signal strength at optimum levels to meet cell service providers standards. If someone wants to make their phone faster or customize it a certain way no one cares. As long as they are not stealing apps its all good. Androids are based on open development so it will be some time before you see anyone trying to prevent anyone from customizing their phones. Its also one of the main selling points when compared to the iphone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 What does rooting offer as opposed to jeailbreaking? Now a days rooting really doesnt do a lot. Most of the things that people rooted phones for are now included. Initially it was to boost the speed and have more control over what can be customized. Now with the faster processing speeds people do it to be able to delete unwanted default apps, and other customizable options. Both require running things on the phone that are not approved by the manufacturer. iphone wants total control and hates the thought of people not using what they put in the phone. Android on the other hand takes what people are using and incorporate them into updates. People wil eventually take it too far (as always) but for now rooting isnt that bad. I'm will admit I'm on the outside looking in when it comes to jailbreaking... another opinion on the matter would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
