    Help I'm exhausted, I can't install CWM for the life of me.

    Yesterday I rooted. I downloaded ROM Manger and tried to install CWRM from that app. I realize after reading that that was a mistake. So I tried pushing CWRM via Odin and it was successful (at least that's what it said in Odin). I thought it went well until I booted into recovery mode and...

    Can you defragment you droid?

    Maybe I'm stuck in a Windows mindset, but it seems like I should be doing some sort of regular maintenance on my Droids software, like defrag it or something. Right now I just regularly delete any apps that I'm not using. I'm not rooted as well. Is this type of maintenance necessary?

    Rooting before or after 2.1

    I still haven't received the 2.1 update yet, but I'm still unclear how updates affect rooted devices and vice-versa. Does it matter whether I root my Droid before or after I receive an update? If so, what are the benefits? Thanks

    GPS and battery power

    So, I was on the MobileDefense site and they said that having your GPS on really doesn't use any energy unless you have apps that are actually using them. I've had my GPS off this whole time thinking it would suck up my battery power running in the background. Can anyone shed some light on...
