    Root Easiest/latest way from stock to Velocity 1.2.1?

    I've been out of the Ally scene for about 8 months now. I just bought a used one for my spare 3rd line. I used to have 2 Allys and was running Velocity on those, so I'm pretty familiar with them. Back then, I had to do both of them the longggggg way. Is there like an 'easy' method currently? No...

    Root Questions about selling rooted and rom'd Ally(s)..

    I just jumped on the BOGO deal for the DX2s. My questions are... should I sell my 2 Allys already rooted and with V1.1 installed, or am I better off returning them to 100% stock and then selling? About how much are they worth? Both have the extended batteries and class 6 8GB SD cards and are...

    Help Do the Verizon stores still stock Ally's?

    The wife has a Droid 2 Global and it drops calls all the time. This is her 2nd one in a month. I just got off the phone with Verizon Tech Support. He tried to call it and it didn't even ring.

    Root Woo Hooo!!! Rooted 2.2.1. Now what bloatware apps can I safely get rid of?

    I know we had a list around here somewhere for the old 2.1 root. But, I just want to ask first before going crazy and deleting something I shouldn't.

    Root Would someone mind posting a guide on how to overclock the CPU with Velocity v0.4?

    I saw this: But I don't have a clue on how to use it. Can someone please post a "Using the CPU script for Dummys" guide? -OR- Could I just install setCPU and be done with it? Is there any reason setCPU cannot be used on Velocity v0.4?
