Going through a bit of an internal conflict here, and I'm just looking for a little bit of advice.
I am not a moron. I believe that I am completely capable with all of the step by step posts out there of successfully rooting my phone (a moto droid). However, I am also not by any stretch of the imagination a hacker, so I am a little apprehensive of the off chance of bricking my phone.
I am not overjoyed that rooting voids the warranty, but by all indications unrooting the phone takes it back to factory conditions, so it ends up being no harm no foul.
What I want is even more customizability than what the droid already offers me. I want to be able to add things to my default ringtones and notifications directories, change the bootup animation, HAVE ANIMATED BACKGROUNDS, change the status bar color theme, among other little things here and there. I also however, do not want to compromise any stock functionality of the phone as a trade off. Now from what I understand, the 2.1 upgrade will get me a lot of what I want, so should I wait for that to be officially released for the droid, or do I take the plunge and root to 2.1?
So yeah, let me know what you think.
