justin0469 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 which droid phone? droid 2?theres all kinds of tutorials on the android forums. Most of the them are really easy, just keep clicking next and wait while it roots your phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 The only reason I would do it is to get rid of all the bloatware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I believe that "open source" allows some sloppy programming to occur. Some of the apps kill performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 The only reason I would do it is to get rid of all the bloatware.That's one big reason that I rooted my Hero!I believe that "open source" allows some sloppy programming to occur. Some of the apps kill performanceFortunately, most of the custome roms out there run better than stock! It seems that there's lots of sloppy programming out there in the OE form! My only problem is that my phone is a whole year old model (still available) that there's not much support left for, in the custome rom area. It seems like everyone moved up the the EVO. I really don't want to pay the additional $10 a month for 4g service, that's barely available around here (not out where I am, for sure.)

yotaman88210 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I rooted my X just for the wifi. It was a one click root program. Works great. Have not over clocked. AND now the wifi app I was using isnt working anymore Well, I cant get it to work anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 the first link is the one i used. the file in step 2 is the one that i had problems with but i read somewhere that people have issues when using windows 7 to do it. i don't know why that would cause a problem though.

It helps to have some tech knowledge, or at least know someone that does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
