froyo for droid leaked

[rockymtnhigh]

That seems almost too easy. Anyone used Easy Root? Are there and disadvantages for using this versus one of the other ways to root?

As far as I know, NO disadvantages. You get root, you install rom manager, and then you can install any custom rom. (Well, on the Droid 1, that is; on the Droid X you can install apps like setcpu and wireless tether, but given that locked bootloader, you can't install custom roms).


I just grabbed a copy of the file, just to have it. Already rooted, so don't need it, but I wish I had it back in the day.

Thanks, havent crossed over yet, still considering, but I may pick this up for a just in case scenario.

I used easy root and it was easy and then installed Pete's Bugless 0.4

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I just switched themes from the NexTheme to Fabolous's DroidX Theme; on top of BB.4. I like the icon-set better, and the dark-text on buttons problem has been fixed. It works great. Also switched to Launcher Pro Beta, but with just 4 screens for now.

So it is really a one click and done option?

I know when I had my droid, had I done research, it wouldnt have been that difficult. BUT, for a newb, it can be daunting, and I almost messed up. This is as easy as it sounds?

Yeah, I wish it was that easy two months ago?

You have changed phones already? What are you another Stuart628?

Yes one click and a second later you are done.

Well that just can not get easier. Thanks

 

[Ramy]

Well that just can not get easier. Thanks

Now download ROM Manager and put something on there.

A thought, can you unroot just as easily?

 

[tigerprowler]

It has an Unroot button, so yes, just as easy.

By the way, I'm rooted, I'm rooted, I'm rooted!!!

I KNOW!!! YAY ME!!! Where is my cheerleader smilie when I need her???

I am doing the bugless beast .4. That's what HIFI has, and so I'm going to start out with that.

I am doing the bugless beast .4. That's what HIFI has, and so I'm going to start out with that.

While it is not quite bugless, its a sweet rom. And put on some theme goodies. I am running Fabolous' X Theme. Its very nice, with those fresh new improved icons from the Droid X.

Does it always take so long to download? I started like half an hour ago and it's only to 47%.

No, not always. You can also download directly from droidforums.net and just transfer the file over to your SD card; and use install rom from SD card in rom manager. I do that most of the time.

 

[tigerprowler]

I'll remember that for next time. I haven't messed with my phone this much before. It's kinda fun.

You'll go crazy with it for a few weeks, then settle in on something you like.

BUT>..remember, to backup your stuff. Use rom manager to create a backup of your current system, and backup your SD card to a computer. If the card gets corrupted, so do your backups.

I recommend getting Titanium Backup and/or Renware's My Backup Pro. Now that you are rooted, both have the power to backup everything, including sms/call log, and all system data.

What ROM did you decide to use?
