Hi everyone...new to these forums. My wife has a Sprint Hero and I would like to root it but I'm severely ignorant w/ this phone. I have a Palm Pre and have had no problems hacking it and it runs like a beast! I have not had the best of luck from other forums when I've asked for help w/ rooting my wife's phone.
With that said, what is the *best* way to root the Hero? I've seen so many different ways that my brain is beginning to melt away into oblivion. Here's my questions:
1) Which way is the best way to root, i.e. a complete root?
2) Is there anything I need to do to make sure she doesn't lose any data and if so is there a program I need to d/l for her phone?
3) From what I've read, w/ Android phones you *flash a ROM* which to me sounds like adding a theme (per Palm Pre) to your phone. This is something I'd like to do to change the look of her phone and speed it up from stock speed. Is there anything in particular I need to do for this?
I would like her phone to be faster (read: less laggy) during normal operation. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
