Hello everyone! I just decided the other day that I'm finally sick of how laggy my Hero can be, so I decided to go online and see if there were any ways to improve the performance of my phone. I didn't realize just how many communities and stuff there were out there dedicated to this sort of thing! Anyway, I decided that I would try to root my phone to overclock the processor to try to boost the performance of my phone. Before I start though, I have a few questions I want to ask:
1) Will this way of rooting work on my phone? I have a Sprint HTC Hero (the one that looks like this) and the build number on my phone is 2.27.651.6.
2) If that will work, once I get it rooted what is the first thing I should do? I keep reading about something called "Nandroid" but I'm not sure what it is...
3) What new ROMs should I install? I like the interface on my hero, and from what I've read it looks like something called Fresh would be one that I'm looking for to increase performance while still keeping the same interface?
Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it! I hate bugging you guys since you probably get 100 of these threads a day, but I just really don't want to mess my phone up and you guys seemed like you were a friendly bunch.
