Hey guys,
So tonight I finally decided I'm rooting my phone, mainly out of curiosity.
I'm going with the unrevoked process (it seems the simplest to me) and tonight installed the HBOOT drivers. I'm waiting on the rest until my wife and baby get home tomorrow night just in case something goes wrong.
However, I still have some "newb" quesitons:
How do I install new ROMs (I'm not sure I would do this but would like the info)
What the heck is a radio and why is it important?
For every rooted program I install (ie wifi tethering) do I also have to install a new kernel? (and what is a kernel anyway?)
also, should I run titanium backup on top of unrevoked nandroid backup?
Also, what are some other cool, useful stuff than I can do once I'm rooted?
Thanks for the help and patience with a new guy that is jumping in the deep end here.
