ive had my DroidX2 for almost 10 months now, my brother has the Droid X, rooted. After spending the last few months playing around with different launchers, themes and such, ive come to see there are more customization options out there if you have rooted your phone.
i also need to be rid of all the bloatware on this phone because its running a bit slow and i also hate seeing the damn icons. im new to this stuff, so using new launchers and themes is really all i know how to do.
my brothers phone was rooted for him by a friend, so im having trouble getting the answers i need. if someone wouldnt mind answering some of the questions i have, that would be greatly appreciated.
what program should i use to root my device, and what 'root required' apps would i need to have on my phone? once it is rooted, will i still be able to get the new firmware updates, or would i need a rom for that?
sorry if these questions are a bit, dumb. im new to this and would appreciate any help from all you users who have done this and possibly dealt with the same issues im having.
