    Android 2.2 for rooted Droids.



    I haven't done it yet since I still haven't rooted my Droid (never had a reason to until now,) so I figured some of you Android lovers will be appreciative of this.

    ive got a rooted droid. but i wont run anything besides stuff from cyanogen. i used to run droidmod stuff, but they develop way slow. try out cyanogen's current rom, its super stable. 2.2 wont be real good til source is out

      i am picking up a droid in aug. when i get my upgrade.

      i have verizon, if i root it, will i be screwed on warrenty?
      i seem to have issues with phones and send them back for replacement often.

      what exactly does it do to make the phone better?

        rooting it is fine. they say it voids warranty but plenty do it and they dont care. and its a software mod, you can go back to stock if u want at any time

          what does it do to make it better. (sorry i am not phone savy)

          it is like unlocking it correct?

          will it run apps quicker then?

            so by rooting, i installed a custom kernel an overclocked my phone to 1ghz, so its way faster. you can also install a full backup app, i use titanium backup, and i have wireless tether which is the coolest thing ever

              It's similar to "jailbreaking" iphones. Gives you control over stuff the phone manufacturer doesn't want to let you control, like the phone's operating system internals and fiddly bits. In this case, allows you to install the currently unreleased, upcoming version of Android, which has a lot of cool features.

                  i rooted the droid. they are actively working on the incredible now. itll happen. unlike the iphone tho, when u root a droid phone u can install custom phones and boot loaders. its a whole different ball game

                    cool, thanks for the info.

                    i am looking at either the HTC Hero or the Motorola Droid.

                    i am not sure about how much i will cope with the touch screen for texting and dialing etc.

                    i like how the Droid has a actual keyboard for us older folk, but like the thinner Hero (and the cheaper price too).

                    i know that the Incredible will be faster/better than the Hero, but am not sure about the extra $ being worth it for me.

                      moto droid here, have not gotten around to rooting mine yet or doing many apps. I love mine, the hard keyboard for texting is what got me. But the 2.1.1 up date gives you voice to txt for while you are driving and what not that works quite well.

                      I love mine, I have instant News and weather based on you actual location. I read 3 news papers a day mostly from my phone. I got it so I have a time killer and have web access when I am at a slow point when out in the brush at work.

                          the hero is way to slow compared to the new phones, even overclocked. go for something more recent

                            how does the motorola droid compair then?
                            when i was at the verizon store swapping it out for the 13th time for equipment problems, there was someone trying to get an incredible. they told them that they had ordered them, but they were out of stock everywhere and had no idea when they would be back in stock. i don't want to deal with that crap.
