I only recently joined the smartphone legions, and after a month with the lg Optimus I picked up the motorola triumph on virgin mobile. I use the phone for photos and editing, music, websites, games and games system emulators, and hopefully soon, video editing and music production. I already upgraded to a 16g c10 sd card, and am running go launcher ex, but I want more control over what the phone is doing, easier access to files, etc. I learned about rooting by searching for apps to give me that kind of control actually, so it seems like root is the way to go. However, my laptop is out of date and no longer web capable, so my main questions are... Can I "safely" root without a computer to dock with! What's the best backup method to use pre-root? And of course, given the criteria of usages I laid out, what roms and apps would people recommend for post root? I already purchased titanium, so there's that.. Any and all help, even if its a link and an insult, is appreciated
