What do you have now?

I am slapping out 35's easy with a lite stock rom, no overclocking.

he's on the old Droid like I am... the incredible is much faster. I think I'm gonna go to HTC for my next phone.

I still don't really get the purpose of 'rooting', what benefits does it have to the average person? http://unrevoked.com/#desire

Custom roms, can get rid of bloatware (huge for me, I hate most of the crap that comes stock), generally fuck around with more stuff on the phone, overclock. Just be a geek. If you want a phone to "just work." It's not for you.

I would like to remove some of the apps like myspace, etc. My main concern is fucking something up.

It's not for everyone, you have the potential of bricking your phone.

Mr Lefty · 09-01-2010, 03:30 PM

the nice thing for me with rooting is I can control what I want/don't want. the ability to overclock or UNDERclock is important too... the battery on the Droid sucks... but being able to underclock the CPU to 125mhz when the screen is off... lets my battery last up to 4 days (if I don't ever use it) or an entire day with normal use. with out doing that... I can barely make it to lunch before the battery is dead.

Set CPU is probably the #1 reason I rooted.

I dont think the new phones can use it. I use the unrevoked stuff.

ahh true... I don't know what he's made it for... I think the incredible is on his list though... 2.2 set him back a bit... but I think he's working on the Droid X now
