Okay I can't take it...

[johnlgalt]

And she takes a further plunge to the dark side...

(looks like I'll need to stick around, now, huh? Of course, we all know the real reason I am sticking around....

Because I am an insufferable post whore, of course!)

 

[carmendiva]

by the way that's my brother holding the phone
i couldn't figure out for the life of me how to take pics

 

[johnlgalt]

Oh, and you somehow reversed your first pic- all the letters are backwards

But, yeah, you had one of the Launch DROIDs before with the bubble keys...

oh that wasn't intentional. It's because we were trying to take a picture of them both with my eris and it wasn't working so he took it with the webcam

Smart....

well which do you have & when did you get yours?

 

[johnlgalt]

I ordered mine from VZW on launch day, but I got a non launch DROID. Mine has the flatter keys like your new one does.

when you read this send me a private message
im confused

 

[carmendiva]

OKAY this took forever!!!!

I just want to say thank you to John for pretty much holding my hand and giving me step by step tutorials(told u i made things hard) and say thank you to gonzo(idk your real name) for giving me the link to that pete guys thingie

I am officially rooted!!!

It really isn't that hard...after all has been said and done

 

[Stolz25]

The Droid is ugly? I never thought it looked ugly...

Droid ownership is like 75% male, likely because the women find it ugly. I tried to talk my wife into taking mine in a few months when the Nexus 1 comes to verizon (she'll be ready for an upgrade then) so I could get that and she didn't like the look of it at all.

 

[gonzoguy24]

Carmen,
Name's Alex. I am glad you're rooted and happy! Sorry about not being around to help more...I work in Nuclear Power and had a crazy night at work

 

[gonzoguy24]

Wow your old droid had seriously bubbly keys! Mine from launch day had slightly more bubbly keys and my replacement is way flat like yours.

 

[gonzoguy24]

Did you use Pete's bugless beast 1.1? That is what I am running and it seriously awesome

 

[Neverendingxsin]

Well this may have just pushed me over the edge to root. Heck, if a chick can do it anyone can. Just kidding, rooting has really confused me. Maybe tomorrow after a couple of beers to make it seem really easy. I know that no one has bricked their Droid, but I will not put that past me, I like being first for alot of things.

 

[Barkleyfan]

@arsonman

It will go fine bro. Just take it slow.This time next week you'll have 20 roms under your belt.

lol hey mr. sexist JK
truthfully after John was a sweetheart and was msn with me for like 3 hours when he could've been sleeping, helped me do it

to be honest it was a lot easier to do than i thought

although i remember none of what i did but the process isn't as complicated as i thought

and the rooting is easy, it's just the things you do after your phone is rooted that im confused about

the only thing i don't like is that i have to press my sleep button a few times before it awakes....

 

[radikal]

yeah its a simple process.

and mine was bubbled too, i showed the rep at the verizon store and he was confused.

 

[3devious]

lol hey mr. sexist JK
...

I know, right!? I thought I was going to have to take my earrings off. Arsonman, don't make me show you the Diary of an Angry Black Woman.

People say that my Droid has a face that only a mother could love... I guess I am the maternal type?

That seems like it would be so much nicer. I guess that is my punishment for adopting the "Wait and See" approach.

lol@this
and this thing is soooo hideous but my beautiful eris is slow....

i hate choosing between my children

 

[PetiePal]

I wouldn't root since 2.1 update is coming pretty soon, prob this month. You'll have plenty of homescreens and honestly do you really need to do anything rooting would require?

SetCPU is the only reason you need. Bumps your clock speed when you need it and dumbs it down low when you don't. Translation: Super smooth scrolling, extremely fast webpage rendering, smooth video and extra long battery life when sitting idle. Really its a win win.

Wow this thread has gotten out of hand heh.

Good looking girls do that to a forum I guess

Anyways don't feel pressure to root, enjoy your droid, it's a fatastic device even just stock.

All these yahoos pressuring people to root wont be there if something were to go wrong. So, take your time and decide for yourself if you want to root someday down the road. Only you are responsible for your phone. (Also, forest fires).

Pretty sure no one was pressuring anyone to do anything. There are benefits to rooting but of course if you're not comfortable then do not do it. Pretty easy.

btw, good looking girls on forums = subjective angles and lonely guys
