WARNING: Total Rooting Noob Ahead.
So I got an HTC Evo V 4G a couple months ago, and after getting the system update for the sms interference error (thanks to some help from this forum) I have loved pratically everything about this phone. I downloaded Nova launcher this past weekend, and after playing around with the customizable stuff on there, I am beginning to really think about rooting the phone (if for nothing else than to get rid of all the apps like Facebook, Twitter etc... that I don't use).
I read through the stickied noob guide to rooting the Evo V 4G and it seems like something I could do if I had a few hours to devote to it, but I have a few questions....
Thanks for any help y'all can provide!

I read through the stickied noob guide to rooting the Evo V 4G and it seems like something I could do if I had a few hours to devote to it, but I have a few questions....
- Is it worth it to root the phone if I am mostly happy with it as is?
- If I somehow screw it up, is there a way to undo it completely go back to stock? Or make a back-up of my phone as it is now? (Titanium Backup seemed like a possible method, but it looks like you have to be rooted to use).
- I am not technologically illiterate, the noob-guide made it seem like I can root the phone, but how likely is it that I brick my phone?
- Is there any particular ROM that y'all would suggest for a Rooting Noob?
- (A relatively minor question) I hate the stock lock screen, is this something I can do away with if I root the phone?
Thanks for any help y'all can provide!
