4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 thought you couldnt root the x???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$pecial_K Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 You can root the Droid X, just can't load any custom roms yet. The boot loader is encrypted and no one has figured out a way around it yet.http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid-x/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$pecial_K Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 i have no idea what the difference is hahaRooting your phone means giving yourself root, or superuser (think...admin) access, giving you access to system files and the ability to change things that normally are marked read onlyThis allows you to change all kinds of things that normally you wouldn't be able to, along with install custom versions of Android.http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/4654-what-does-rooting-your-phone-actually-mean.htmlA custom ROM is a fully standalone version of the OS, including the kernel (which makes everything run), apps, services, etc – everything you need to operate the device, except it’s customized by someone in some way.So what does the "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05/01/custom-roms-for-android-explained-and-why-you-want-them/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdubyah Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I don't think you will need to root your phone kid. Or put a new ROM on it.I was thinking that the Droid X would brick if you tried to root it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I think the paid developers are jealous of what some of the hobbyists have done with Android, and they're trying to lock it up so that we can't have the goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Just as a couple side notes: the Key Ring app, I use it for more than just key ring stuff (i.e. Kroger's, Petsmart, etc.). Simple.... But I think that's pretty damn cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 just got mine. i'm gonna have to spit on it to make it fit.i was kinda hoping since they passed the rule to make it legit for consumers to load whatever the hell they want on their smartphones, crap like efuse would therefore be illegal. but i'm probably missing details that don't allow this.

jblosser Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 ...i was kinda hoping since they passed the rule to make it legit for consumers to load whatever the hell they want on their smartphones, crap like efuse would therefore be illegal. but i'm probably missing details that don't allow this.U.S. Copyright Office's ruling, with some boring .PDF supporting documents (click)"When one jailbreaks a smartphone in order to make the operating system on that phone interoperable with an independently created application that has not been approved by the maker of the smartphone or the maker of its operating system, the modifications that are made purely for the purpose of such interoperability are fair uses."Steve Jobs probably death-gripped his iPhone, started to call his lawyers...oh wait...never mind.Doesn't say that Apple, Motorola, et al aren't allowed to make it difficult for you, only that you are not violating the DMCA if you have the nerve to want to install any damn thing you want on your own damn phone.Also doesn't say you can load a different/modified OS, only mentions modifying the existing OS in order to run non-Apple approved programs. Well, it does, but only to "...connect to a wireless telecommunications network...", which isn't prevented by the "factory" OS.And in other "the glass was half-full, but now it's half-empty" news, the ruling explicitly says "smartphones", so fanboys and gurls are still not "allowed" to install unapproved software on their iPad or Ipod Touch (or whatever the iPhone minus the phone part is called)Screw it. Jailbreak your iPhone, root your Droid. It's yours. Do with it as you please. This still is Amerika, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China, isn't it?
